Sort of a lot

has happened since my last blog. Yesterday at work my manager trained me on cash wrap :) Unofficially. So I now know how to check people out :D I'm so excited, I really want to start doing cashier.

Also, today I went school shopping, since I don't really have any outfits that are all black. And I also went shopping on my break yesterday. So I am alll done minus a couple shoes, I think I need more flats. Also, at target I bought two dresser things, one with three drawers that's narrow, and the other one is wide with two small drawers for accessories, and two large drawers for clothes and such. I'll show pictures of it later. Later tonight I'll show a HUGGEEE haul of everything I bought. For now I'll just list how much I spent. I've never spent so much..ever. But I really needed clothes. And shoes. And a portable dresser. :D

So! At Target I bought the two above mentioned dressers, a notebook, some pencils, and a lock for my locker at Brillare, which cost $51.73. At Windsor, I spent $216.31 last night, and $154.77 today, for a grand total of $381.08 (I just did it in my head, forgive me if it's off) Buttt I bought 32 things :O And I bought three pairs of shoes at Macy's for $111.54, they're all flats, and I bought a pair of heels at Buckle for $38.73 and a pair of heels at Baker's for $20.56. All of that together! $593.64! Not bad considering all I bought. Tomorrow I'm going to the mall to get some new bras and undies, and then I'm probably going to buy the Juicy Couture watch I've been really wanting. After that I am done! I actually need to go to Target again and buy another smaller dresser thing, I don't have any room for my PJ's or undergarments haha. Soo I will have three dresser things to tote around now.

Me and Mikey are going to go get some Pei Wei, so I'll post pictures of everything I bought later. But this time I'm not going to put any of it on, too much work.

Another revamping

I went through and matched colors and such. Also, made the title center. It drove me crazy that it wasn't. I think the code shows up when it says someone is follow my blog. Ah well, until I find a better way to do it, this is how it stands. Also added twitter :) I was going through the gadgets and saw it :D Now people who glance at my blog can see where I am at all times thanks for Foursquare :D I set it to only three tweets at a time though, since 5 (the default) seems like waay too many. Anyways, that's all for this blog, I just wanted to say something about the changes before I forget.

Work, Work, Work

I feel like I have been working non stop recently. Wednesday I worked 6-9:30, then yesterday I was supposed to work the same, but a manager called me and said the other manager messed up the schedule, and asked if I could work at 3. I said yes. I always need more hours. However, that rushed my trip to Red Rock a bit, and I ended up forgetting the two things I needed from down there. A book for Haleigh, and my dance stuff for classes. I did get my tuition money, and I'm just waiting for that to go in, hopefully so I can buy some clothes on my break today (I'm not spending the money to be used on tuition, my dad gave me 1500 extra for clothes and such) Speaking of which, I also work today, 5-9:30. Funn stuff. TODAY'S PAYDAY!! I almost forgot!! woooo! Today is just a good day, last night Allison brought Desperate Housewives while I was asleep, and today I get paid. and then I don't work again until Thursday! It's like a mini vacation! Which is good, since my dad is going to Mexico, so I'll need to feed Lucky and couple times next week. Also! Yesterday I got a credit card! NOTE FOR FRIENDS WHO THINK I'M JUMPING INTO THIS (aka all of you) Me and my dad have been talking about it for awhile now, and its just a student card. I know that I'm impulsive, but I actually have been talking about it for awhile with my dad. Michael didn't know this, so I'm assuming I haven't said anything to you guys either.
Anyways, I guess I should go shower and stuff. Or just sit here and be on facebook. Either way. :)

Havent worked

In forever. Working tonight though. Just 6-9:30. Also, I GET PAID ON FRIDAY wooooo!!!
I love getting paid :) But getting paid also means I can pay for classes. Another important thing going down today, is my financial aid appointment with Brillare. Mom NEEDS to be there, and I'm sort of afraid she's going to back out on me. She had to be forced to make the appointment, and I reminded her yesterday, but I'll probably have to keep bugging her about it today too. It's like trying to get a cat to come. You have to keep calling it and making noises until it really wants to come, and then it will. Speaking of which, I really miss Lucky. I haven't seen him in almost a month :( I need to go down soon and get my dance stuff, so I'm hoping I can do that sometime this week.
We finally went to the river yesterday :) Haleigh still decided that going in the sun for 5 hours was a hive attack waiting to happen, and she's probably right, but it would have been cool if she could have come. It was still a lottt of fun with the Michaels and Dani though :) Even though two tubes popped. haha Before we even tied the sheets around our tubes the one for the cooler popped. So me and Dani ran back to the bus, and luckily he had a spare. Then towards the end, I notice a hissing noise. And wouldn't you know it, my tube had a hole D: haha So we pulled over and tried to use a paper mache technique with water bottle labels, but it didn't do much once I got on my tube. What we didn't know, is that we were really close to the end, and the tube ended up holding out until then. haha getting off was really embarrassing. I fell on the really slippery rocks right in front of a huge group of college kids, and the must have thought I was drunk hahah. Too funny. I'm just glad it didn't hurt at all. Also, no burns for me :) I don't know how everyone else is holding out, but I'd doubt they're burnt if I'm not. I think I'm lucky with the river, I didn't burn last time either :)
Anyways, I'm going to go do stuff, either get ready or pack or something.

Name change.

Not trying to be melodramatic. I just hated the name before, and it's true. I technically don't have a home. My goal is to have a home I can call my own by December. Which I realize is ambitious, but I need to get on my game. Recently I'm having a really hard time dealing with my homelessness. It's not like I can just go drive an hour to dad's house and be by myself and Lucky. I love my friends, I do, but sometimes I enjoy being alone and reading or just laying in bed not worrying about having to be good company. Unfortunately, I don't think Dani can move out that soon. She has a good job and all (she makes more than I do haha) but it IS kind of soon. Even if she does get more hours, it would just be putting a lot of extra stress on her, and that really isn't fair. I was looking forward to living with her and Michael(s) but for now it doesn't look like its in the cards. I just need my Michael to get a job soon, so that I can keep my goal by December.
On a happier note, I went tanning with Dani yesterday. The girl (Erin I think) that works there was kind of rude to Dani about putting on lotion before she gets there. It's not like she's putting in on hours before, just like, 5 minutes. Stupid. I think next week we might go to the river (if the weather allows us) and she said she'd go with me to CGCC to sign up for the two dance classes I'm taking. I'm glad she's going, I don't want to go alone.
Also yesterday, me and Haleigh went to AZ Mills and went to Windsor so we could look at bags. The manager that I thought didn't like me was working, so I ended up not getting a bag, and just pretending I was getting the bag Haleigh wanted. To be fair, I probably wouldn't have even used a new purse if I had gotten one, I love mine too much <3
Oh, and I finished Heartless a few minutes ago. I just have the last book to read and then I've finished the Pretty Little Liars series. I don't really know what all could happen in this next book, since I know who the second A is, and who killed Ali. (and someone else) I guess there is a few unfinished things, but nothing too major. Anyways, I'm going to go find some shorts, Michaels taking me to a movie (and maybe Yorgurtland?) haha I want to try that place. Anyways, I'm done for now!

Surprising.

I am actually up at a decent time today! Weird! I think I might go tan today, I should text Dani and ask if she's free. I don't actually know what time the tanning place opens, so I should probably look that up first haha. And I just looked it up and their website is gone. Weird. Maybe Dani knows, I'll go text her.
So, this blog is really just my incoherent thoughts. I have nothing to say, and certainly no story to tell. The past week has been pretty dull overall. Actually, Brillare called yesterday, but I didn't have my phone with me. The admissons director told me to call back, she had questions about my enrollment? I'm a little worried actually, I have no clue what it could be about.
So, just called. She wanted to know why I hadn't made a financial aid appointment. Hmm maybe because mom won't do it. She's been needing to do this for a week, but noo. They have to call me to make sure everything is still ok. Embarrassing.

Overslept.

Stay up until 2 playing Sims. This is what my summer has become recently. I can't wait to go the river!!! The weather has been a little iffy though, so we'll have to plan around that and my work schedule, but we will make it happen! I work at 6 today. Only 6-9:30. Not bad, it'll be slow though. I'm so mad I missed black dot by $6 last week. Sooooo mad. I really needed to black dot. :/
Oh and apparently Windsor is hiring again haha. Dani told me this when she was at the mall the other day. We just lost a manager, and they're training a cash wrap to be the next manager, but when I was hired they only had two cash wraps, so I think it'll probably stay that way. I would love to get trained on it. But I've only worked there two months, so I doubt I can.
Oh and also, on the 19th me and Michael had our 2 1/2 +1 month hahah. I guess since we didn't really do much other than dinner and a movie on our 2 1/2, he decided to make this one big as well? haha We went to Black Angus, which was really good. It's a little expensive, but they had a special that was like an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $50. So it turned out not to be bad at all. I had filet mignon and he had NY strip steak (as always) haha. He got my roses too, but seeing as I don't really have a house to keep them in, he ended up just putting them in his room haha. It was a nice gesture though :) All in all, it was really fun, and really sweet of him to take me to dinner. It actually felt like a real date rather than us just hanging out haha.
Anyways, I'm done. I need to go wash my hair.

Ouch.

So not much has happened since I last posted, but that's not why I haven't updating in a while. I'm just lazy. One thing that did happen, and is continuing to happen, is that I scratched my cornea. Again. So I get to wear glasses for like, 2 weeks. Awesome. Also I'll probably have to go to the eye doctor, since last time I did this they gave me some eyedrops that helped it heal faster and make sure it didn't get infected. Mom won't answer her phone though, soo she's useless. Also, still have had the financial aid appointment yet since she won't call and schedule. Frustrating.
That's all for now, I'm too tired for this.

I'm getting so sick

of moving. Honestly, I'm starting to dread switching houses. As much as I love Dani and Haleigh (and both their houses) I wish I never have to stay at one of their houses (or michaels) again. Not that I don't love their houses and like spending the night there. But I wish it were still an option rather than, "I need a bed and a hot shower"
In short, I just want my own house. I want my own bed, my own shower, and my cat. But thanks to my dad, I can't have those things anymore. And I won't get them back for a long while.

So bored.

Michael's watching Rambo. I think I might get shot if I change the channel.
Anyways, after work I got my hair cut and dyed for free :) (Technically $10 since it was a tip we had to pay beforehand) But I also got a free lipstick out of it that I REALLY like. More than Urban Decay's Peroxide (which you have no idea how much I love that color) It's Tigi's lipstick in Truth. Sooooo pretty. It was pretty in the tube and like 541654634 times prettier on. I finally added new pictures to all my crap. (Facebook, Gaia, this, Foursquare, Twitter) obviously I was in need of an update.
I don't really know how much longer I'll be at Michaels. Either until Chris makes me unwelcome again, or until Dani's teeth are healed for the most part. I don't want to inconvenience her and her family right now, she just had her wisdom teeth out D:
So, I'm finally enrolled in Brillare Hairdressing Academy :D I start August 11th and I can't wait :) I'm honestly really excited. I need to fix my work availability though. I'm sure it won't be a problem. I also need to sign up at CGCC if I still want to take those two dance classes. For whatever reason I'm putting it off. I might not do it until second semester. I dunno, but I need to decide fast.
Me and Michael are seeing Despicable Me tomorrow, so I'll let you guys know how that was :)

Good Day.

So, I went and I am officially signed up at Brillare Hairdressing Academy :D :D What makes this sooo much better, is that my mom came with me. Now. This sounds like a disaster in the making, but it wasn't! She looovvesss my school, and the admissions director. I took a test today too :/ I did good though, I tied for the highest score so far, 36 out of 40. It was harder than I thought it would be (harder than AIMS, actually) but still not very hard (obviously) My mom also saw my tattoo in person... and she likes it! The first thing she said once she asked to see it was "It's so pretty!" I'm sooo surprised! I thought she would hate it! And also, we went to lunch. At native haha. I had chicken strippers (they really could have picked a better name) and me and mom got along well. She wants to meet Michaels family (which honestly, I don't blame her after 2 1/2 years of never meeting them) but I dunno when. I think she'll get along with Michaels aunt really well. I dunno about his dad. Anyways, I need to call Michael and ask if I can stay at his house for awhile, I've overstayed my time haha. Apparently me and haleigh have both been here without realizing it hahahaha

ugh.

Have to drive down to Red Rock again today. I need my diploma and registration fee for tomorrow. It'll be like, an hour drive there, 5 minutes in my house, then an hour again to get back. Suuuuccckkkkkssss. What's more frustrating, is that Michael won't let me drive. I think my car could make it. I feel bad having him drive every time. He won't let me at least try and take my car though. Stupid.
I do get to see my kitty though :)
Also, I have to work today. 6-9:30. No fun. Actually, I can't complain. It's only a three hour shift. The only thing that sucks is that NO ONE comes into the store at those hours, and I need to sell over a thousand to black dot. I sold 40 on tuesday. Partially because I had a bunch of returns, but still. 40 is nothing. I also reluctantly agreed to take a shift on Sunday. I need the extra days so I can black dot :/ Oh, and I think I am going to do the free Toni and Guy day thing. I just need to stop by there before work to figure out what color I want. I can't explain very well in a post it note, since I like a dark brown with a slightly red tint kind of thing to it. So instead if it being a guessing game to them, I'm going to go down and ask them for the color book, and do it that way. Oh and I think I might get some highlights, since it's free and all :) But I dunno, I need to look at colors.

Michaels here. Time for hell drive.

Waiting for a disaster

So yesterday wasn't awesome. Had to drive all way the way down to Red Rock to repack stuff. Upside: I got to see my kitty who was more than happy to see me :) Downside: My dad freaked out over my tattoo. Ordinarily he wouldn't have cared. But god forbid it's on my wrist! I seemed to have just ruined every career I could possibly have! There is absolutely no possible way to cover it up! What? Hairdressing careers usually don't care about tattoos? Well, what if you don't become one? You know, you probably wont, there's only like 1000 people as hairdressers, none of which will be you! And thats when I said goodbye to Lucky, and left.
Dad's being a jerk. And obviously still doesn't want me to go to Brillare (aka Toni and Guy Academy) and just now realized that by getting a tattoo on my wrist? I dunno. That seems to be what happened though. I guess he realizes that I'm right, most hairdressers do seem to have a least a tattoo or two. and that by getting somewhere not easily hidden (granted, once it's healed, cover up will work just fine) he realizes that I'm planning on that career, and only that career.
What makes this so much worse, is that I have to go through it all again today. I'm going to my moms so we can do that stupid FASFA stuff. It just makes me so upset that they won't support me. Ever. Nothing I ever do is what they want. Well, funny story, I'm not what they wanted. I wasn't planned, and they had a shotgun wedding because of it. The only thing they've ever supported was dance, and then I pretty much had to stop because they wouldn't pay for it anymore. Thank you Ms. Pease for the scholarship, you saved any chance I had to keep dancing.
And all of this is topped off by the fact that my best friend is mad at me, for something I can't change, but she's right. I should have included her. I messed up and now I'm sitting here all upset because I don't want to lose my best friend since second grade over something stupid like this.

Tender.

So my wrist is a little tender today. I never realized how awkward I position my wrists when I sleep. Last night I didn't want to fall asleep with my wrist facing the sheets but I found that nearly impossible. So I don't know if it's tender because of that, or because I just got it yesterday. But I still love it, and everytime I notice it I look and think "It's so pretty, I'm so happy I got it." :) I feel like this may be a distraction at work haha. I know they don't care about tattoos, so I'm not really worried about them noticing, I just don't want to have to explain it to them/customers that ask. I didn't really think about that(but to be honest, it wouldn't have changed anything anyways) I work with Jenn today, so maybe I can finally figure out what was going on with the shoes thing.
Also. I have to drive to Red Rock today. It sucks. I don't have my clear purse, and its not like I don't have the time to drive there before work. I'll probably leave at 10:30 or 11, and get back around 2 if I take an hour to pack (which I'm hoping I don't) I think I'm going alone this time though. I asked Mikey to go with me, and he said he would. But then I got on twitter today and saw that he had made plans to hang out with his friends at 10:30 before I asked :/ I'm not about to make him give up his plans to hang out with his friends so he can drive an hour and back :/ Anyways, Haleigh's up. So I'm done typing.

I love it :)

Still pretty red and puffy, but I love it all the same :) Haleigh drew it, I don't think any tattoo artist could really understand what I meant when I described my idea haha. The whole same brain, same thoughts thing comes in handy sometimes. She just has the artistic skills.
It honestly didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. It felt like a really hard electric toothbrush being pressed against your skin most of the time, and only sometimes did it really hurt. Like having a couple needles being poked into your skin repeatedly. Cause you know, that's what it is.
I love it though, and I can tell you right now it wont be my last :)

exciting day :)

So in theory, I'm getting my tattoo today :) I keep worrying that it'll be too much so for now it's just a theory. But I'll talk to the girl while she draws it up and all, and figure out how much it is before its permanently on my wrist :) It's going to hurt so bad. I do pretty well with pain, I just am afraid I might twitch or something. And there's always the fear that you know.. it might now turn out exactly how I want it. I'm very critical, and very specific. When I got my belly button pierced last December, I spent HOURS looking at it in the mirror wondering if it was slightly crooked, or if it was my imagination. I eventually determined that I won't ever know haha. I have no idea still. And even if it IS crooked, no one could tell. If I can't tell, the chances of people who don't look at it very often can't tell. Michael thinks it looks straight anyways, and he still says it even though I'm not bawling about my crooked stomach. Whatever, I still love it, and it still looks pretty :)
Obviously I will be posting pictures when it's done, but here's the design.

It's a little bit blurry, but it was taken with a phone so what do you expect?
The only changes I'm making, are asking her to smooth out the lines a little bit. There's like one line that doesn't look as smooth as the others, so pretty much just that one needs to be smoothed. haha and it's going to have a thin black border with the following colors fading into one another; pink, purple, teal, blue, and green. Not really in that specific order, just those colors in whatever order she thinks would look best, preferably with pink being the most prominent color. and I haven't decided if I want cute little shading on the outside of it or not. I think I'll see what she thinks about that. After all, she is the tattoo expert.
I'm getting so excited :) Michaels going to come with me, and probably Haleigh too. I'm unsure if Cody is coming or not. He can if he wants, it doesn't matter either way. I'm just worried the tattoo people will be annoyed that I'm bringing so many people haha. It'll be a party.

I can't count the days anymore?

So I'm at Haleigh's house, and I have no idea if she (or anyone else for that matter) is up yet. Someone's opening and closing a door...it's her dad.
So I'm assuming she isn't up. I didn't bring instant breakfast with me :( I don't know if she has any, so I guess I'll just settle for a cupcake. :) Maybe it'll make me stop coughing?! Jesus christ I've coughed so many freaking times already and I've only been up for like 10 minutes!
Oh I almost forgot, Happy Fourth of July!! I can't say I really know for sure what I'm doing today. My original plan was to go down to Brillare and start the whole, applying for school thing. Two problems; it's Sunday, and it's the fourth of July. I guess I could shower and go down there still to see. I probably will. asdfkjasd;f I don't want to get ready! I'm lazy!
Meh. I'll update later and let Haleigh and Dani know how it went. I need more followers haha

stuck

So, I'm at the Orlando airport right now. Sorry I haven't updated in a week, I've been exhausted almost every night. Our flight has been delayed, and we may or may not miss our connecting flight to Phoenix. The cherry on top? I don't know if I work tomorrow. My plan was to go to the mall when I got back to pick up my schedule and pay check, so hopefully I can still do that. I dunno. Also, since we were going to get back so early I was going to ask Haleigh if I could stay at her house but now I dunno. If our flight gets cancelled I'm just fucked. Period. I can hope and pray all I want that I don't work Sunday, but if I do and I'm stuck here or in Georgia, there's really nothing I can do. But if we miss our flight to Phoenix I'll just call work and ask them to read me my schedule. I have some work clothes in my carry on so I can just wear what I have and go right off the flight if I need to. Ugh this sucks so much. Now I'm just rambling to kill some time. There's nothing to do in airports. There's an outback, but that's about it. They don't have the new cosmo or anything, and I feel weird reading a book when my friends and right next to me.. So I dunno what to do.
