Good Night, Long Day

Last night was date night, like every Sunday. Good, good night :) We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner, then saw The Switch :) It was a cute movie, the little boy in it was soo adorable! After we went to his house, and spent some quality time together haha and at some point I crashed. Like passed out to the point where nothing he could do or say would get me up. So he eventually just let me sleep there. I didn't have my keys anyways, so it's not like I could have gotten in to Haleighs. Overall, fantastic night:)
As for today, I'm doubting how good it'll be. I work at 9:30, with Cynthia. Just us, until 2. Funnn. It's nice that she doesn't hate me or anything, but its just so boring with her! At least when it's slow I can talk to any of the other managers, but not her. Besides, I already waxed every bar in the store last Monday!! And if it's slow I'll have to do it all again!! D: a;dkfja;sdf Stupid work.
And to end my day, I have dance at 7. Which means I need to leave at like, 6:25. So after 2 1/2 hours of doing nothing but laundry, I get to go to dance. This is going to be such a long day. I'm almost hoping I get to go home early from work. That would be so nice.

tired.

So, I braided my hair into a fish tail. Not that you can really tell in my hair, since its so dark. But it's something I've wanted to try doing for a little while. Gabby taught me how, and its actually really easy. I just don't have the patience to take small sections in my own hair. I feel like it'd be way easier in someone elses. Also, there won't be any pictures of it, since again, you can't really tell in my dark hair, and also I don't want to go find my camera, hook it up to the computer, and upload a picture. Too lazy.
I also got my nails done last Tuesday. I got acrylics again. I like them soo much better this time. Last time when me and Dani got ours done, hers look good and perfect, but mine were uneven, and some were crooked. Plus last time it cost me close to $60, and this time it cost me $40. I got an extra design and everything. Not to mention, they make school soo much easier. No more snagging nails, no uneven nails pulling out hair, no watching my nail polish come off day after day thanks to all the contact with hair and water. It's just fantastic.
I'm actually really excited for Haleigh recent photo idea's :D She's been thinking of hair and such for pictures, which naturally, I'm useful for :) (Another reason why I was so wanting to do a fishtail, I think they look interesting.)
My hair feels soo healthy. And soft. And delicious. It looks really healthy too! Jenn at work even made a point of saying so. I think the last time someone told me my hair looked healthy was when I cut it all off after having dyed it blonde.
Anyways, I'm done. I have nothing else to say :)

I'll admit it.

My hair is basically black now. I didn't really think so at first, until Dani pointed it out in Target. The ends looks pretty black. I denied it all day, until this morning when I could not find my black ponytail holder in my hair. And then I realized, yes, my hair is black. But not all of it! Mostly just the ends. And despite being black, you can still see the reddish tint to it. So it must not be completely black. More like a super duper I-can-still-see-red dark dark dark dark brown. Which is the next color up from black, obviously.
Whatever, I actually love it :) The last time my hair was this dark was an accident, and it was when I was super pale. I think with tan skin my dark hair looks much better. Also, I think I might try out some red highlights. Not like what I used to do, so not like bright red or anything, more like a natural brown red. But now I don't really want that to lighten up my hair aha. ALSO! I asked Clare about this while she did my hair, and I can go blond again! It is possible without killing all my hair like last time! Granted, I'd have to do it tactfully, starting with highlights in a faded brown hair, and then work my way up to it so I don't kill it all at once, but I can go blond again if I please! So if by chance I get bored of dark hair (which is unlikely)it's nice to know that I can still change up my hair every so often without cutting it super short again :) I'm please :)
Anyways, I have to go to work soon, I open today with Cynthia. I always get super nervous when I work with her, she's not like, mean or anything. Just.. not fun? I dunno. Sometimes she's a little mean. Plus the fact that she has to ability to fire me is just terrifying.
Also, my first day of dance is tonight. How exciting! I miss dance, I just wish I wouldn't have lost so much flexibility over the summer. My splits are shameful. Absolutely horrible. I can get close on my left, but my right looks like a third grader trying the splits for the first time, I'm like 6 inches off the floor on my right. Embarrassing. Also this marks the start of me not seeing anyone. Ever. As it is, I don't see anyone. Now it's just going to get worse. I already have school until 3:30 (sometimes 4:30 if I stay late) then dance Monday trough Thursday, then work the other three days. I'm already never seeing anyone but Michael, and that's only because I'm living with him! I briefly saw Dani yesterday at Target, but that's it. I miss seeing my friends D: I need to switch houses more often. I just hate the whole moving thing. Its so annoying and inconvenient.
Speaking of inconvenience. My car battery died. David had to take Michael to school today, because I need to work at 9:30, and Michaels letting me borrow his car. I feel so bad. What if I get in an accident?! What if I knock the mirror off while backing out of his garage?! Scarryyy.
Anyways, I guess I should go do my hair for work. This is a long enough post anyways :)

So exhausted.

My day went like this:
6:15 wake up
7:30 leave for school
8:00-3:30 school
3:30-9:30 work.

I had not been home since 7:30. I had to change from my school clothes to my work clothes in my works bathroom. Needless to say, I am exhausted. And so not ready to do it again tomorrow D:
Granted, it's not as bad. I get a little break since I don't work until 6. So I have 3:30 to 5:30 to just relax, change, and possibly tan. I have been barely tanning recently, and I really need to start going more often so I can not waste $50 a month.
Also, I'm starting to feel like acrylic nails would be a good option at this point in time. Manicures and hairdressing don't really get along too well. All the water and chipping, and touching. Not so good. Not to mention when my nails snag on the hair it hurts like a bitch. It would probably hurt the mannequin a ton, if it were real. The only downside is I don't really have the money to keep it up. I'm getting my hair done Sunday, so there goes $120. I don't even know what I'm going to do. Dye it darker and redder, obviously, but I don't know about the cut. I don't really want to cut it short again, but I want something edgier than I have now. Right now its so... blah. I don't even know. It's pretty, sure, but its not like that amazing. It needs to be. I go to school for hair.
Anyways, I'm going to bed. I'm so tired.

Sometimes

I throughly enjoy doing my hair. Other times, I DGAF. Right now I have my hair in velcro rollers :) I'm trying to get curly/wavy hair that's a little curlier than my natural. Also, I just blew out my own hair, which as you know I hate doing. If this looks really stupid I'll just straighten my hair tomorrow. Beside, I've been wanting to try a look I just saw on Sephora's blog. It's basically a pony tail. haha, so easy, but it looks nice, so I might do that tomorrow. And if this works out, maybe I'll give it another go in the morning, or straighten it anyways, and do it another day. haha, I'm so lazy. Besides, what good is slept on curly hair? You can't curl it once its already curly!
I still need to do my Theory homework D: I'll probably do it real quick in the morning. It's not hard, just annoying. I also need to go to work tomorrow, I forgot to get my pay check hahaha. Who forgets that? While I'm there I might as well get that shirt for Dani. Why wait until Friday if I'm going in tomorrow?
Hm, I don't think I really have too much to say. I'll blog tomorrow and let ya'll know how the velcro rollers turned out :)

December 2nd, 2012

is the day I will be married. Period.

Obviously, I've been a little wedding crazy recently. I want to get married soo bad. I've had the date picked out for awhile now (embarrassing, I know) But I'm getting really super excited about it (even more embarrassing, again I know.) I have the ring picked out and everything haha. I feel like such a loser, but I realllllyyyyyy want to get married. Soon. (Well engaged soon, married the date mention previously) I've literally either thought about or picked out everything but the venue. Since I probably won't be living here, (god I hope not) I don't really know what I have to choose from. I really want a winter wedding. Hence the December date. I want the colors to either be a frosty purple and white, or a tiffany blue and white. Or both and white :) I dunno, but I want it very winter-y. Plus, I know Haleigh has metioned before she wants to get married January 2nd, which is so cute for them, since that's their actual anniversary. Jealous! Too bad mine is wayy to close to my birthday, plus what sense does it make to have a winter themed wedding in fall?

Enough of my wedding crazyness, I'm going to Red Rock again. I need to get my credit card, and something else, but I can't remember what. I'll blog later :)

so much

has happened since my last post!! I started school on Wednesday, had to buy a TON of stuff later that day, and then take out everything from my kit, take it out of the boxes, label it, then put it back in (so annoying) and drag seven mannequin heads to and from my car 5 times (I only had to take 4 the last time, we only keep 4 at school) So yea. That was my Wednesday. And then yesterday I had school again (obviously) and it seriously went by sooo sloooowwwwwww. It wasn't like I was bored or anything, but the clock was just moving so ridiculously slow.
Anyways, I have school today, just not until 45 minutes from now haha. I need to go in early to pay though. My debit card decided to be really stupid on the first day and was like "oh! You want to pay tuition?! That sucks, I'm not going to let you!" So since David (the financial guy) didn't have time to do it yesterday, I'm going in early today. I just went to the bank and got checks so that I could actually pay.
Today is also my first hair cut :D I'm so nervous I'm going to mess up the first mannequin D: We're doing a classic bob haha, so it should be pretty simple, I'm just nervous I won't be any good at this. Not to mention, I found out I'm going to have homework every single night in my Phase I class, and homework most nights from Theory. I had to write a five paragraph essay last night! What is this?! bleh.. homework. stupid.
Anyways, I'm going to go finish getting ready, hopefully I'll post later. I'm doubting it actually, I have to work tonight D: (payday! yaaaay!)

Clearly

I'm getting better at my job. As you know, Sunday I sold quite a bit over my daily goal :) Today my goal was $151 and I was suppppperrrr nervous about making even a goal that small because it was literally dead for like, 30 minutes. No one was there. Anyways, I somehow sold $213 :D If the days I had to switch with people don't screw me over, I'll definitely gold star again :)
Scarier news: I START SCHOOL TOMORROWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO NERVOUS!!!!!! However, I am really super excited for my kit :) You have no idea how badly I want that right now. No more mediocre straightner!!!!! I need to go to bed early tonight though if I plan to wake up at 6:30. That's going to be difficult, I hope Michael has some Advil PM. I still need to go to the store to find something to bring for lunch D: I think I get half an hour, maybe an hour. Actually, I have a paper that tells me! I shall go look! Just half an hour. So unless I absolutely can't find anything, I'll be staying at school. I guess worst case scenario, I can drive to Haleigh's or Dani's for food haha. They always have food. And Haleigh just made cookies with her mom, so I'm likely to stop over there at some point :) (Just a head's up Haleigh!)

Quickie

Just a super quick update. I got two of Essie's fall collection, and I just wanted to post some pictures of the colors, since I think they are super pretty!
This is Essie's "In Stitches" It's like a dark coral-y pink. Really really pretty. It's going to take some getting used to from my regular light purple though :)

And this, is Essie's "Velvet Voyeur" Also really pretty, although it was a little hard for me to get a consistent color. When it first goes on, it looks a little like grape jelly, but the second coat makes it a gorgeous dark plum. Loveee this color, I think I'll be putting it on my fingers once In Stitches starts chipping :)

Anyways, I'm going to work in like, 2 minutes. I just really wanted to post the two new nail colors. I love them :) Both are $8 online and at Ulta, so they aren't too expensive and I love Essie, it always lasts for a long time on my nails. :)

Day off

Finally have a day off! After 5 days of working every day, I need a break haha. I actually have to do stuff today though :/ I need to take my car to the emissions testing thing, and then watch Desperate Housewives with Haleigh and possibly Dani once I figure out what season she's on. haha neither of them know about this plan :) But I doubt they'll oppose. Oh shoot. Just remembered Dani's first day of work is today :/ So no Dani for Desperate Housewives :( I'm excited for her haha. She's excited for her first day, and that makes me excited? haha, I guess I just get excited for people easily.
Ahhh! My first day of school is in two days!! D: D: I'm so nervous! I'm excited/nervous/scared haha. I'm suuuper excited for the kit though!! I can't wait to have really good styling tools haha. Right now mine are just kind of mediocre. They could be worse, and at least they work. But I don't even have my curling iron or blow drying up here with me, so it'll be nice to have one again. My blow dryer sucks anyways.
Yesterday was a really good day :) I sold over my daily goal (my goal was $511, I sold $565) then after work me and Michael went to dinner and a movie :) We went to California Pizza Kitchen, since last Sunday and the work dinner I realized I REALLY like their barbecue chicken salad. Then afterwards we went to Dinner for Schmucks. It was really funny! Sometimes I hated Steve Carell, but that's mostly because I just don't care for him in the first place. He wasn't too bad in this though. Really annoying sometimes, but he was supposed to be. Jermaine was HILARIOUS. Easily one of the funniest characters. He kind of talked like he does as David Bowie in that one episode of Flight of the Conchords. Too funny. Anyways, gonna go shower and get ready and stuff. Wearing my Pink pants today :) I am ready for a relaxing day!

Gold Star!

For the week!! Wooo! Thanks to the lovely Sarah. haha. I really doubt I could have done it if she didn't help me a ton. Regardless, I have officially gold starred for the week :) First time ever!. I have to go to work in 15 minutes. But when I do I am walking straight to the middle room and looking at the gold star next to my name :D Also, tomorrow is my first day off in the past 5 days. And, since the mall closes at 6:30 tonight, me and Michael are going to go see Dinner For Schmucks. I'm excited :) Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords is in it. I don't know how big of role he has, but I'm sure he'll be funny regardless.
So that's all I really have to say. I need to go find 3 accessories for complete my outfit for work :)

Total change

in mood since the last post. But whatever.
Sometimes I feel really unwanted here. Now more than ever. Like I should move back to Texas and start life over. Michael isn't fond of moving soon, and what with his and my schools starting soon, it really isn't possible. I have every intention to move back next summer though, once I finish school (which is also a known fact, and has been for awhile now) so that I can audition for (and hopefully make) the Dallas Stars Ice Girls. Right now I just wish these 11 months will go by fast.

Fun night

was fun. But it's not ever going to become a regular thing. I went clubbing last night (for the first time) at some club in Scottsdale called the Afterlife. It was fun at first, but after awhile I was just really tired and wanted to go home. One of Haleigh's friends invited us for her birthday, so we were in a huge group of girls. It was sort of annoying when one of the girls kept telling me to just dance with guys and not tell Michael, but all that did was make me want to leave faster. Needless to say, I danced with myself the whole night :) Any guy that came up to me got elbowed away, and every guy that asked got turned down. I just wanted to dance by myself and have fun. No need to butt rape me.
For me, I feel like this was sort of a one time thing. I mean, I'd go again if Dani wanted to go or something (since as far as I know, she's never been) but I wouldn't be like "I WANNA GO CLUBBINGGGGGG" haha. Maybe when I'm 21 in Vegas I'll go again. No, I will go again in Vegas, I'm sure those are much more fun.
Before we went yesterday, I worked a stock shift at work. Which according to one of the mangers they wanted to promote me to that, but now I can't :( The stock shift is ALWAYS 2-8 on Wednesdays and Fridays. And I have school both of those days :/ Ah well, she also said they'll probably train me on cash wrap soon, but I don't know if a pay raise goes with that. It'd be nice, but not really necessary.
I work again today, 6-10, and again tomorrow, I don't remember what time I start, but I know I close til 6:30. I love that the mall closes early on Sundays now that I work there :)
Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. :)

Another Busy Day

Well, not that busy. I just finally uploaded the pictures from my huuggee shopping trip. Minus the bra's and undies. Those don't need to go on that. Later I went with Michael to see his campus and get his books with him. His campus is pretty small, not bad though. I'm glad he's excited for school :) I start in 6 days!! Crazy!! Oh! When we got back we went to Sweet Tomatoes, and then Ulta where I got BigSexyHair's Powder Play.

I originally found out about it from Haleigh, since her hairdresser used it on her. I've been intrigued ever since and finally just went out and bought it today. It works really well! It's a powder you put on your roots for volume. I did tease my hair a teeny bit, just because I like a LOT of volume. Tomorrow I'm going to straighten my hair, then put it on and take pictures. Or maybe once I wash it, that might be more fair. I dunno, we'll see.

I don't work until 6 tonight, so I still have an hour before I need to leave. I kind of messed up yesterday haha. I forgot to change my availability until yesterday (mainly because I didn't want to until I got my schedule for CGCC) But I had forgotten the schedule comes out on Wednesday for next week. So I was sort of scheduled while I'm still in school haha. I got it all fixed though. The girl who's shift I took yesterday is taking my Saturday shift, and me and another girl just switched shifts for Friday. It's all good now :)

At work yesterday one of the girls (who is soon manager in training I think) found out Ali trained me on cash wrap. And she was less than happy about it. I don't know if she was just tired or something, but she seemed pretty miffed, and she had said something to Ali about it (I don't know what exactly) I'm hoping I won't get in trouble for this though. I really just want to be trained officially. I'm sick of the people who can do cash wrap not knowing who I was helping, and then me not getting the sales I deserve because of it. Regardless, I can't do it now anyways. Now I have to wait until they train me officially. Hopefully that's soon. But thanks to that (and Ali not taking any sales since it was her last day) I sold $400. My goal of the week is $600 haha. So I'm really hoping I gold star this week. :)

I don't think I have anything left to say haha. So I guess I'll blog later today or tomorrow!

This is happening.

I hate my life.

I just finished the post with alllll of the pictures and crap. And what did I do? I accidentally deleted it all. Fuck.
The next post will be JUST PICTURES. I don't care enough now. Those tan boots I got for $4 though :) Amazing deal.
...
I'm doing it tomorrow. The uploader hates me.

Busy Busy

Today I actually did something. Amazing right? I got up to a phone call from a girl I work with, saying she was sick and was hoping I could take her shift tonight. I did. I'm too nice to say no when I know for a fact my night will be spent on Haleigh's couch and Desperate Housewives on the TV. It's not even a bad shift, just 5-9:30. Also, today is Ali's last day, and it'll be nice to work with her one last time.
Aside from work and such, I went down to CGCC and FINALLY signed up for the two dance classes. I paid, got my parking sticker and everything :) I'm all done! Minus the student ID, but I can get that later.
I officially start Brillare in a week. I'm so nervous! This sounds stupid, but I'm worried I won't get along with anyone. I'm also worried I just won't be good at it. You never know. As much as I love doing hair, that doesn't mean I'm any good at it. Same with dance. Mariah LOVES dance to her very core, but unfortunately she just isn't very good. Lord knows she tries though. I guess I'll find out soon enough!
One last thing, that actually happened yesterday. I called my Grandma :) She's doing good on the chemo. All her hair has almost fallen out and all she has to say about it is, "I look real funny haha" She's so excited for her hair to come back in too, she said one of her friends who went through chemo had curly hair before and it came in straighter. Another one of her friends that went through it had grey hair before, and it came back a pretty brown haha. I don't know if any of that is really true (or possible) but she's pretty excited. She doesn't seem worried at all. I also finally asked what kind of cancer she has, and she has liver and lung cancer. Ironically, she doesn't drink or smoke. After talking to her for half an hour I decided to send her some roses, since those are her favorites. I sent her this:

She'll get them tomorrow :) Also decided what my next tattoo will be after talking to her. I want three rose blooms, a red one, a pink one, and a yellow one. Right now I'm favoring getting it on my hip, but I'm not sure yet. Also, I won't be able to get it until after the Stars dancer auditions next year. I doubt I could hide that one with enough cover up, whereas my wrist will be easy.
So that's all, I'm done blogging for now :) PICTURES WILL COME!! ..I just don't know when D:

I have failed

I took all the pictures and everything for all the clothes I bought, but I've just been so lazy. Or I've been actually doing stuff. Like today, I've just woken up, tried to sign up for classes online, and then gotten ready. I'm going to the doctor soon, because my toe is still broken D: I broke it a little over a month ago, and it's still not healed. I don't care if they're just going to tape it, I want something done. Also, once I'm done with that, me and Michael are going to go to Trader Joe's and look for these ginger cookies they have that I love, and then go to CGCC and sign up for classes there since their website hates me. Anyways, got to go, I will HOPEFULLY be putting up the pictures tonight. Hopefully.
