new sleepy dress

Today I received a package from Anthropologie. I happily and excitedly opened it to find my new sleeping dress that I purchased on sale. I'm not sure if I am to sleep in this or lounge in it since on the website it says "loungewear." Anyway, I was not able to copy and paste the picture so I will put the link to it instead. It's super soft and comfy....

Lounge-y Dress

I worked today from 8-7. I was determined to get a lot of work done today and I feel that I accomplished most of that. I woke up this morning at 5:45am, due to my "human alarm clock" aka Chris Jackson, and couldn't decide whether I wanted to go into work on time, or be lazy and go into work at 11am. I started to feel guilty, so I got my butt up and got ready for work. Did my usual morning routine of going to Peet's Coffee and getting a drink before hitting traffic.

Got to work and just started taking care of things and making sure that everything was ready for opening. I felt that I got a lot done, especially since I stayed at work until 7pm and I was supposed to have been off at 5pm.

I treated myself to Cinnastix with frosting and a Coke before going home, which I'm sure was not a good idea. Headed home, ate leftovers and watched last Sunday's episode of Desperate Housewives. Not too exciting of a night. I have tomorrow off... yay! Going to Disneyland with Chris to see how they have decked everything out in a Halloween theme... should be fun I hope.

Going to borrow my sister's camera but hopefully she finds the note that I left her and leaves it behind for me or else.. it will be a boring post. :-(

I miss Xanga

The other night I was looking through my old xanga and it was amazing how I would write what I did in it almost every single day. It was like my own mini-journal and I really do miss that. It was amazing how happy I used to be when I was getting back into Nordstrom and out of that job in Pasadena. I even had a dream last night about how I quit Nordstrom and went back to the Pasadena job except now it was in this super nice building and it was all remodeled and everything. So strange. I don't think any of the people that I used to work with even work there anymore. I think all of them quit, including my manager at the time. Strange. I miss writing in xanga and how I was able to post pictures and make it all pretty. However, I have not logged into xanga in so long and when I finally did, I noticed that they changed their layout and I am way too confused to ever revive that thing, but it was interesting in reading what I wrote in it many years ago.

Anyway, today I had the day off. I haven't had a day off since last Monday. Work has been very stressful and I have contemplated many times about quitting or stepping down. I was PMSing like no other last week and now I'm feeling a little better. I don't hate work as much as I did last week so it's okay now. So anyway... on to what I did today...

I woke up at 1pm and decided that I was going to clean today. I started out with cleaning all the cups in my room, washed all the dishes in the kitchen, washed Winky's food and water bowl. Then I decided to wash all these bowls in the cabinet because some of them were dirty. After finally completing that, I took out the trash in my room and then changed Winky's litter box. Then, it was time to do my laundry! I had 3 or 4 loads but after the last load, something started to leak water in the kitchen and my sisters think it's the washing machine, so now I can't finish my last load of whites. *sigh* Oh well.

After that I watched an Entourage DVD and started to watch I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, but to tell you the truth, I really can't get past the first 30 minutes. I fell asleep, woke up and went to Best Buy, President Thai, and Target with Chris. Bought Winky the cutest Pumpkin tshirt EVER. However, I do have to say that she only had it on for about an hour and I had to take it off because she had the most pissed off look on her face... but then again, when does she not right? So here are the pictures of Winky!!!



Now I'm just trying to get myself into sleeping mode. I have to be awake early tomorrow, and it's strange that I actually enjoy getting my coffee at Peet's in the morning and then listening to Ryan Seacrest and Ellen K in the morning, not because it's them but because it is pretty entertaining when can actually listen to someone talk rather than just music while sitting in traffic. I have lots of stuff to do in the morning too and I enjoy having an hour and a half without anyone being in my department but me. It's nice....

Maybe I will start posting in here like I used to in college with my xanga. It's always nice to read back and read what I was thinking at the time.
