swollen feet.....

So it's time to update once again! I should start updating this like once every other day or something, but I get tired and lazy.

The Anniversary Sale has been going on so I've been pretty busy and tired getting ready for that, setting up, and then going through the actual sale. Friday - Sunday I had to work over 8 hours each day... which means I was on my feet for a long long time.... and that equals swollen aching feet. It sucked!!! But it's okay, hopefully I'll have some nice overtime or something to make up for it.

I really haven't been doing much lately. I had yesterday and today off. Yesterday I went to Chris' house and we went to the post office, Coffee Bean, and Fry's so that Chris could get a video game and a stylus for his new phone. All we got at Fry's was candy and some cheapy stylus' for his phone. After that we went to WinCo and bought some random snacks for later that night in case we decided to watch some movies or something. THEN we just sat at his house the rest of the night watching tv and surfing the internet... quite entertaining... hahahaha

Today I had an eye checkup, but I have to go back next week because my eyes are still hurting. It might be because I had one contact inside out... but we shall see... After that I went to the mall with my sister because she wanted to get some stuff at Nordstrom. Got some Baja Fresh for lunch... gave poor Winky a bath (which she absolutely hated and meowed like I was going to kill her), went to the mall to get a manicure/pedicure because my hands and feet really needed some care after working the sale), and now I'm at home doing laundry, cleaning my room, and cleaning out Winky's litter box.

So as you can see, nothing too exciting has been going on in my life. I guess I'll just show you what I bought for the Anniversary Sale...(which wasn't a lot! So I'm very proud of myself on that!) Ok, so when you look down, it does look like I bought a crapload of stuff... but really, with the sale price AND my discount.. it really isn't that bad!!!


*this isn't the exact pair that I got, but I got some Citizens of Humanitys on Sale for $131.90 & with my discount they were only $88.37*


*then I got this Semantiks skirt for work.... it was $44.90 and with my discount... $30.08*


*not too sure what I think of this shirt... might return it if I don't wear it soon... but this was $78.90 and with my discount... $52.86*


*i though this was a cute sweater to wear on my days off except i have the dark brown version... $45.90 and with my discount... $30.75*

*I can't go to a sale and not buy shoes... I got these Enzo's in dark brown croc. They actually look a lot darker in person but I've always needed brown shoes and since these were only $59.90, I figured I should get them while I see them since I usually can't find brown shoes when I need them. With discount...$40.13.

Grand total of everything.....$262.17 with TAX! Not bad considering I gave myself a $300 limit for the sale. YAY to me... and if I return that blouse.. it'll be even better! woo~hoo!

It's hot!!!

Time for a weekend update...with pictures too!!! woo~hoo!

Friday: I worked a closing shift, so this is not a fun day to talk about. Just went home after, surfed the internet and then went to sleep.

Saturday: Woke up. Sister went a little crazy on me because I "slammed" the new washer door. She is crazy by the way.... After that I got ready to go to Chris' house. Got there... went to Coffee Bean and the Montclair Mall to get his friends Sean & Michelle a wedding gift. I found myself some $29.99 Two Lips Shoes that matched my dress. Then I went to Gap Kids to get my old manager's son a birthday gift and card from Hallmark. After that we went to McDonald's so that I could get some lunch. Went back to Chris', ate, and got ready for the wedding!

The wedding was pretty nice. It was in one of the banquet halls I guess to this really nice community of homes/condos in Ladera Ranch near Mission Viejo. Super duper nice area. The wedding was all outdoors and the ceremony was quick! Which me and Chris enjoyed. I had a lot of fun looking at all the shoes that the women were wearing because some of them were Nordstrom brand shoes that I used to sell in BP! hahahaha. After the ceremony we got to eat appetizers. There was this huge table piled with cheeses, crackers, grapes, strawberries, and all that random stuff... BUT as Chris and I were walking in to the ceremony I saw tons of flies all over it... I did not eat off it... but other people did....! ewww... anyway. They had some veggies & dip and stuffed mushrooms inside this room (so I ate those since they were not near the insects). After there were speeches and then it was time to eat! It was buffet style and had about 6 different types of pasta, salads, and bread. Cake was chocolate with either strawberries or raspberries in it... it was okay. The wedding was nice. I think I had more fun at this one only because of the fact that they assigned people to tables so it was a little easier knowing where you were going to sit. The people at our table were okay too... so it wasn't bad, plus Chris wasn't running about with the wedding party this time so I was able to have him there to keep me company throughout the whole wedding.

Pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Sean & Michelle's Wedding

Sunday: Woke up and got ready to go to my old manager's son's birthday party at the park. Got there and ate tons of food! Talked to an old coworker (Ronnie Gee) and met some of my old manager's family and friends.

Justin's 1 Year Park Party

After that Chris took me home and I met up with my old dorm roommate Jacqueline from college. We took her to Pinkberry and drove her around Los Feliz and Glendale since she will be going to law school in Glendale. After that, I was tired so we went our separate ways and I came home and took a nap. Woke up around 7pm, got my laundry ready and went to Chris' to do my laundry since our new ones are not hooked up yet. Ran some errands at Target and got food at Chipotle...watched tv... and that is the end of my night!

I have work tomorrow... argh! Not fun...!

TAN!!

So I don't think I've been up to anything remotely interesting enough to put on here... but I shall try to think of things to write... Let me see... THE WEEKEND!

Okay, so I really don't remember what I did this weekend.... but I DO remember that on Sunday I got my haircut and I feel that she might have gotten mad or something at me because I told her what I wanted and she was getting frustrated because she kept saying something else? Who knows... anyway... she cut my bangs way too short and then blow dried them and sprayed crap in it... and in the end... it made me cry. I cried on the way to Chris' and while I was there because I was so sad that my bangs were so freaking short. So after Chris tried to calm me down and tell me everything would be ok... we headed out to Hollywood to go to Amoeba. Chris got his Thievery Album and I got the Weezer Green Album that I got stolen a long time ago. Headed out to The Grove right after to get some waffles. Bought a cute dress at Nordstrom. Then we headed back to his house to do nothing but watch some television. Ended up going home and being sad that my hair was retarded and some other things that have been bothering me (I'll tell you on the phone or through aim Christy!). Just lots of things I suppose that have been bothering me.. but then the hair thing just made me want to cry.

So anyway... the next day I figured out that if I just let my bangs dry and kind of put some clay in it... they're fine. I guess I'm beginning to grow to get used to them but it was quite scary when I had asked her to cut half an inch of my bangs and then she ends up cutting about 2 inches off... not fun! So the hair thing is over and done with.

I just got some self tanner yesterday to try. It's the Origins "The Great Pretender." Heard from people at work that it works pretty well.. so I guess we'll see what happens.

I'm trying really really really really hard to cut back on my spending. I have a very limited amount of money until my next pay day because I was a loser and made payments on my credit cards and put the $50 instead of $150 in my little log of what I spend... which in the end totally fucked me over because I didn't just do it once, I did it TWICE! Horrible... so now I don't know what to do. I'll be okay I think. I'm crossing my fingers that I won't get any unexpected expenses.. or that won't be good at all!

Going to eat lunch with Juli in Tustin tomorrow morning, so I better get going to bed. Good night!

How I Missed My Computer...

So my computer has not been at my house for almost a week now and I finally got it back tonight and I have to say that I missed it very very much. I did get to read Shopaholic and Baby, which I have not finished, but I did get to read a lot of it and clean my room while my computer was gone. It wasn't even the internet that I missed... it was just the fact that I am able to entertain myself in many ways with it... like watching DVD's, listening to songs, surfing the net.... so many things!!! But yes, I am happy that it is back! hooray!

Oh, and the WORST part about not having my computer is that I had a REAL 4 day weekend... Friday to Monday.... which means I was home all those days with absolutely NOTHING to do, and I don't watch much tv... so I was pretty bored.

Friday: called out from work because I was feeling really nauseous in the morning and the night before. I woke up around 1pm and then went out to visit Chris in Riverside. That is the longest drive EVER... made me really cranky too because I kept getting lost! Ate lunch with him in the cafe, shopped with Chris in Nordstrom for a bit, i got this black camisole, white capris, and this other short sleeved top that ties in the back in purple which i can't find onlinegot a manicure at the nail salon outside of Nordstrom (which, by the way, was the worst manicure that I've EVER gotten.... but the nail color was quite pretty. I wish I had written down the name darn it.) Then I waited in my car for him to get off while I charged my phone. After that, we drove back to Claremont, had mexican food for dinner, and then we went to Ontario Mills so that Chris could find a CD that he wanted. Got Coldstone... then home I went.

Saturday: ended up calling out AGAIN because I was feeling nauseous AND I was sitting on the toilet all night (too much info, I know). I don't quite remember what I did this day... oh! went to the dry cleaners, got some boba, then drove out to hang out with Chris. He drove me to Victoria Gardens to find something to eat, but because I was still feeling sick we just got Pinkberry. Then we drove back to his house and we went to Quizno's because I wanted soup. Did that, went to Blockbuster but couldn't find a DVD so we watched a DVD that I brought from home... "Amelie." Since it is such a long movie, we didn't finish it and then I ended up going home.

Sunday: had the day off. slept in until 2pm. Went and watched "Sicko" with Chris. It was not a bad movie, but it made me really depressed and I didn't like that at all. It's a very interesting topic though, but it's one of those things where you just feel kind of helpless because I mean, what are you really going to do about it and how are you going to fix it? It's a horrible thing though, the whole health care system... very messed up. After that we ate at In-n-Out, hung out at Chris' and then home I went.

Monday: had the day off AGAIN. Woke up at 8:30am so that I could go to Chris' house and go to Huntington Beach. Got some coffee at Starbucks and off we went. Got to lay out on the beach for about 3 hours, then walked around that little restaurant/shopping area that they have across the street. Slept on the way home while Chris drove. Ordered pepperoni pizza. Then we hung out at his house for awhile. Drove out to Ontario Mills to kill some time before we went to Carl's in Riverside. Now I HAVE to say that I am extremely proud of myself for only spending $20 at Ontario Mills and getting 3 things!!!! Not too bad right? I'm starting to really like shopping at sales and finding pretty cool things. I got a pair of boxers and terry cloth shorts at Old Navy & some fake Tom Ford sunglasses at the Nordstrom Rack ALL for about $20. COOL HUH??? After Chris and I shopped, we went to Rside where Carl and his daughters were bbqing some steaks and chicken kabobs. After watching the season premiere of Extreme Makeover... we left to get some rest for work the next day.

Today: FINALLY went to work. Had a migraine for most of the day. Was so bored I was forced to go to Cinnabon and get some Cinnastix.
The owner lady knows me, it's quite sad that I go there that often that she recognizes me. Nice lady though. Then after work I picked up my computer, drove home, went to Wokcano with Chris to eat dinner, then to CVS to get some cotton balls and here I am at home.

I have tomorrow off! woo~hoo! I'm going shopping with my sister in the afternoon, eating dinner with the family, and hopefully I'll be able to go see fireworks with Christopher.... too bad he has to work. Oh well...

Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July! :-)
