Ok, confession 1. This is my second blog post today :/
I actually have time, I seriously n e v e r have time to post any more. And I hate it!
Here's a little update: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new job! Its worknig out perfect!! My brother is coming into town tomorrow, and I am flipping stoked.
Downside: Christmas Eve, I am working 7am to 9 pm. Poo.

Confession 2. I think at one point or another in my life, I will suffer from work-a-holic-ism.
True disease, I am sure of it. But I love working. Even if it is a place I hate [see previous posts] I still love it. I love having a schedule. I love knowing I need to be somewhere at a certian time. I love doing all I can when I am working.

Confession 3. I am an over achiever. Its true. That "oh you did a terrific job" isn't just a simple comment to me. It is a strive to do even better. It is a challenge to myself. I want to be all I can be. Whether its getting a customer cheese, bacon and sour cream on their mashed potatoes, or saving someone $60 dollars a month on their cell phone bill. I love it. I love the strive to be better, I love the competition I create in my head, I love making and achieving goals that I have set for myself. I worked 45 hours last week... the 2nd week on the job. Needless to say, I am thrilled. I love working.

You're all probably thinking I am crazy, and sadly, I am slowing coming to the realization you right.

Confession 4: I H A T E what Christmas has become. I have began to think the way I used to critisize people for. As I was shopping, everything was about price. Not just price, but brand.... There is a certian individual that I buy for. I hate buying their gift. It seems as if every year, I go out of my way, spend more than I budgeted, and put way to much thought and headache into the gift, only to see a look of faint disappointment on this individuals face. It drives me up a wall. What do they want me to do, but a Ferarri on a waitrees' pay?!
Christmas should be about the time you spend together, with your family and closest friends. Not the price tag of the gift you recieved. Trust me, this is not my being cheap. It is simply that, this person has everything. And whatever they don't have, they are sure to get from their parents, Christmas day, or any other day of the stinkin year. I never know what to get. I think I got a pretty terrific gift this year for them, however I know when the time rolls around for them to open it, I will once agian bang my head agianst the wall in frustration.

Confession 5: I am positive I have gained weight from all the Christmas cookie eating... but this may not qualify as a confession, being as everyone has been sneaking those cookies =]

Confession 6: The more I sit around in this snow, the more I think Arizona is calling my name. I want to travel. Travel everywhere, see as much as I can before I settle down and have kids.

Kids... Confession 7: I want 5 babies. Yea, that wasn't a typo. 5. 5 kids running around.

Confession 8: I do not find Forest Griffen all that attractive, but i'll-be-darned, I'd marry him faster

than you can say "knock-out"
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I am spending tomorrow with my boyfriend, so you probably won't hear from me until a few days after!! Happy Holidays.

“To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.”

THESE are what happened during my snow day It was amazing. I had to call our of work, and so did my sister. My mom had to cancel on a wedding she was photographing. And

boom.

We headed outside, and got some terrific sissy pictures.

Blogger won't let me upload any pictures. It has completely frustrated me. My mom, sister and I took so AMAZING pictures today, Ok, well mom took the pictures, and Ema and I just stood around and posed. I can't wait to blog about them. Since my blog isn't working, you can check out my moms and you can get a sneak peek. Trust me, they are worth seeing. She is an amazing photographer!

My new hair!

Finally!! I have been trying and trying to find time to cut it. So, for a little hair history: Ok, about two years ago, I dyed my hair blonde.

BIG MISTAKE

[I f r i e d my hair]

Like people fry chicken.

It took just about a year and a half, of short short hair, just cutting out the lifeless ends.

So after keeping it extremely short for about a year, I decided one good SHORT healthy cut should do the trick, then I could begin my voyage to long beautiful hair. This is what happened, super cute bob, far far away from the goal of my long, appealing locks.

Then, after what seemed like 4 forevers, my hair was finally beautiful and long. I loved it. It was about a inch longer than the bottom of my shoulder blade.

But something had to change. It wasn't the length, thats for sure. I wasnt going to see all my patience curled up on the floor just waiting to be swept and and given to the birds for a nest.

No, not length, but it had to a significant change. It couldnt be color. Color would just re-fry my hair once again. Then I came up with it, and here is what happened.

Whats everybody thinking?? Fantastic?? I know it looks funny because I am in a t-shirt, but I can't wait to wear a totally chic adorable outfit (I'm thinking cheetah!)

Ok, I totally need some venting time. Seriously. My words will probably be a little scrambled, mispelled and muddled. I'm apologizing now.

I have worked at Applebee's for a year and a half now. A year and a half of busting my butt for him. Always keeping the expo line stocked, {when I was a closer} Bev station filled, and silverware rolled. Its ridiculous. I ran hot food before cold drinks. I kept my section clean. I helped out fellow employee's by helping with their sidework, or running food. Even greeting tables for them and getting drinks!!

WHAT DID I DO WRONG???

Oh thats right. I did nothing wrong. I just happen to work for the world's most arrogant imbesile. Everybody thinks thier boss is the biggest jerk right?? W R O N G.

Meet my former boss. Jerk McJerkson. I started working there over a year and a half ago, he was the general manager. Ok, so he's pretty funny and aways telling corny jokes [[What do you call a man with no arms and no legs hanging on a wall??]] [Art] {{Now what do you call his arms and legs?]] [Peices of Art]...Then, he started haveing these insane mood swings. He would scream... literally, S C R E A M at his employees over the dumbset stuff. He doesn't even scream at the bad lazy employees. He targets the good ones. I don't understand his way of thinking. Anyways, tonight, my sister, who works at a local rival restaurant, came on to visit me. She came in the front door, and asked to take a seat [I told her table 91]. I was busing my tables and such. I greeted her, said maybe 10 words, and went on busing my table. I went over to take her drink order, and I walk up on a conversation going on between her and my General Manager [[Mr. Jerk McJerkson]]. He is telling her that "Applebee's does not encourage family and friends to linger around the restaurant." He "doesn't know how they do it at [[rival restraunt]] but her, at Applebee's, we have policies." How rude is that?!? So, after my sister leaves, not happy at all, I talk to him, explaining I don't appreciate how he treated my family member, when she was coming in TO EAT! He proceded to get smart mouthed with me, explaining I can look it up in the handbook. Well Mr. Man, you seem to eat with your wife and step children... ON THE CLOCK! So, I quit. I told him I didn't want to work there any longer. I have had it with his insane mood swings, and screaming matches. He refused to let me work on the floor, get my check out, or talk to him without calming myself down. So I was locked in the bathroom crying on the phone to my sister. Just wanting to get out of the place. I cannot get my check out without a manager swip. So, i would most likely get the local police department arresting me for theft if I had just walked out. I couldn't calm myself down, because when I am angry I cry, come on now, [[I m a g i r l!]] So, needless to say, I was stuck, which made me even more emotional. Finally, I just got my checkout ready so he could swip it, and did my checkout. Only to be yelled at in the office when I turned it in. He said he would not let me quit (how he thinks he has the power to do that I am not quite sure) Then, he started saying I could go ahead and quit. He made no sense. So I quit. For the first time ever, I quit a job without a two weeks notice and on bad terms. I felt horrible. My mother then went into the restaurant, and l a i d h i m o u t. Because of the way he treated my sister, not because of my situation. She didn't know the whole story at the time. She came out of the building laughing. Saying he was the most arrogant jerk she has ever met. Well Thank you Mr. Jerk McJerkson. Its on like Donkey Kong. I will be in contact with his boss tomorrow. Jerk.

"Stupid shiny Volvo owner" Bella Swan/Twilight

I know I have been kinda slacking on the blog thing (ok... Ok, I have maybe missed 1 post, but it feels as if I haven't written in forever!) Anyways, on Sunday, I was EXTREMELY bored. My sister and I stay up till about 4 am every night (or day) blogging, talking, watching tv, looking through magazines, a little more talking, and possibly some midnight munchies. So, on Sunday, around 11 pm, I decided to buy a book. I bought Twilight. It looked thick enough to occupy my time for about 2 weeks. Oh No. It took me 3 stinkin days to finish.... Not too mention, on Tuesday (yesterday) I happened to work a double... meaning I worked, ALL DAY. And I still finished that dang book.

Anyways, that is no my frustration, my frustration is this:

I saw Twilight when it first came out, I went to go see it with a ton of friend from work on its opening night. I didn't really care one way or another if Bella went through a painfull demise and became a vampire. I didn't really care if Bella and Edward never got together, or if he sucked the living right out of her. It just wans't my thing. Vampires really aren't all that cool.

{But, before you skip my writing and post hostile comments, just hear me out.}

All this hype about New Moon, well it was just still all moronic to me. I mean, mixing Vampires and Warwolves... just silly. Why I chose to pick up Twilight as my reading selection, I am not sure.

...But I am t.h.r.i.l.l.e.d that I did!

The book was so much better written and played out than the movie. I can say that, Alice, was exactly how I pictured her. I pictured Bella differently, and Edwad differently. Even her mom had a complete different physic in my mind. Alice, Jessica, and Carlisle were perfectly cast. I really didn't like the way they portrayed Jasper though. He totally lookd like a conused nerd throughout the movie. It really made me mad, I didn't realize how infuriated I was. Like when Jacob comes to her house right when she moves into Forts. YOU IDIOTS! THEY MET ON THE BEACH!! We will see how I feel about New Moon when I pick up the book this week, and see the movie possibly next week.

{Sorry. Just drove me up a wall for some reason}

Anways, back to real life.

I've been working a TON, which is my reason for lack of blogging [ugh] My friend Mandy is starting a blong soon. www.missamandamae.blogspot.com Its still getting set up by my wonderful sister who is EXTREMLY talented. {S h e d e s i g n e d m y b l o g} or my mom If I am not blogging I can guarentee one of them is =]
