Crafteeness

So I finished Heather's OU purse last night when I got home from work. My first pocket came out totally awesome, if I do say so myself *pats self on back*!

Here are some pics of my totally awesome handy work =p

Survival

I survived!!

Tax free weekend wasn't too bad actually. Other than the occasional pms-y customer and Susie with her holier-than-thou-attitude it was all smooth sailing. I got the special title of "Quad Captain" Friday and Saturday, basically I got to be the mini manager of the Juniors section. I got to boss people around and make the "serious" decisions. Lots of fun let me tell you. Got 5/6 CA's so that's some nice $$ added to my paycheck. Got me some cheap ass camies, $3 each, some blue converse (not the bright teal that I really wanted, but these work well too :p), the coolest jacket/hoodie(it has headphones in the laces and in the pocket has a place to plug in your iPod, I know awesome right?!), and then a summer bag that I only payed 32 cents for...that's right $0.32, gotta love mail out coupons+clearance+associate discounts ^_^

We were provided lunch on Saturday, Jason's Deli, so good! I'd forgotten how good Jason's Deli is! Super stuffed turkey on wheat with chips, a cookie and sweet tea, yes please for the next few lunches! I would totally be ok with 30 minute lunches if they keep buying us this stuff!

Other news...I've made "progress" on Katie's stupid blanket. I've made perfect squares out of the colors I like and I need to pull out the squares that I made that are too big/counted wrong. The lovely Ms. Heather Kinkade ordered 2 purses from me for a couple of her friends. The one that I've completed is for her person and it has made me bring a yucky fabric into my apartment. =p Though Harley seems to like this "O Who?" fabric, she is currently using the purse and the measured fabric as a pillow...doesn't the dog know she's not going for the right school?! Heather has given me permission to experiment and try my hand at adding a pocket to the inside of this purse =D Pictures will be posted as soon as it is finished!

No other new news on this front really, I set up my eye doctor appointment for the end of next month, my small passport external hard drive so nicely lost all my music files and is corrupt and needs a data retrieval that will cost $400+, and I'm headed down to my parents house for a "weekend" (Wednesday and Thursday) for some much needed laundry doing and to get my new HORIZONTAL drivers license!

A good Laugh

Just in case you didn't see it when I posted it on facebook, he he he

Dear Summer, Where have you gone?!

So I went to get my drivers license renewed today, since it expired on the 22nd and well I guess it was about time to get a "legal" license. I went into the DMV/Drivers License office off S. Congress today, I went with a fully charged battery on my phone figuring I'd be there for an hour or so because with my experience at DMV's that's usually what happens, I was totally and completely WRONG, got there, 1-2 people in front of me, I got fill fill out my form, registered to be an organ donor again (GO ME! ^_^). Sit down for maybe 5 minutes at the most, get my name called and I'm out of there within at most 20 minutes. The guy that took my money and all said he was surprised that it wasn't super busy today, he told me that Thursday's and Friday's are usually the busiest days of the week, so I guess I just got lucky on this one, I'm super excited that my DL will be turned horizontal finally, that way when I go places I don't have to see the waiters and waitresses or whom ever try and calculate how old I am =p

My birthday was really nice. I stayed home all day with Harley chilling and relaxing, then went to dinner with Heather, Chris, Matt, Morgan, Patrick and Cole, and some chick that Cole brought up with him that he says is "like a sister" but I don't buy that story, the way they were acting was definitely not the way I act around Tommy...definitely not! We went to Trudy's and all sat outside, I didn't get any pics really bc apparently when your eating/doing anything outside at Trudy's you can't push tables together, so we had the cool peoples table (mine ;) ) and then those other peoples table. I had my usual stuffed avocado (if you haven't had it go get yourself one with the sueza sauce and refried black beans DELICIOUS!!) and of course a couple mexican martini's! ^_^ Then we went and saw 'The Sorcerers Apprentice." Not a completely bad movie, I thought the end was kind of rushed but other than that, fairly entertaining.

I went home that weekend to see the family...and do a month and a half's worth of laundry, he he he. Went and saw 'Inception' it was awesome! Got a new TV, which was totally amazing and completely needed, Mom (and maybe Dad) are bringing it up to me this Sunday since it wouldn't fit in my car with all the laundry and Harley and her crate. Mommy also bought me an ice cream machine!! I can't wait to try out some recipes I've found online, I made some vanilla already, tasty tasty!

And just because I'm a dork ;) Harley turned 3 on the 31st. I didn't get to do anything special for her because I had to work that day, but she's gotten lots of love and attention since then. A couple days after her birthday was her and mines...anniversary?...She's been my baby puppy dog for 2 years now. I love that dog more than anything, and no matter how much she gets on my nerves and stuff I have no idea what I'd do without her. ok mushy-ness over ^_^

If I don't post in the next few weeks pray for my sanity and patience. It's back to school time and it's been getting super busy at work. This next few weekends are going to be hell at work. The weekend of the 21st is when tax free is and well I worked it last year and though it wasn't that bad i'm hoping this year runs just the same.

And now pics that I do have from my B-day Funness

i love these kinds of pics of Matt & Morgan, I can't count how many I have

Sorry, couldn't help myself on the last one. Nikki and Stormy got a box of new treats and so Nikki took it upon herself to lick all the essence off the old box before we threw it away. And of course since she's just so old and stuff, she didn't even get up to lick it, she tipped it over and then stayed laying down to lick the box...silly puppy she is =p

XOXO
