Yesterday was only the second day the newset Ikea store was open. Lucky for me I had the day off and it is close to my house. Let me tell you, it is quite awesome! First of all it is Huge, unbelivably huge. It is three floors. Think three home depots stacked on eachother. It has amazingly neat showrooms full of furniture, furnishings and fun products. Second of all, it is CHEAP. The stuff is really trendy and modern, any had has somthing for everyone. It is all resonably priced, so muc...

Lately I have been feeling sorry for myself. Not like a "I hate my life" type of pity,but a more of a "booo-hoo woe is me." I feel like I am not happy with where I am in life. I know part of this is to do with things I can somewhat control, and I am fine with that. It is the embracing of thigs uncontrorable that drives me to tears. I am tonight writing about things I can not control, that make my life hard. First off I am sick. I think often back to what my now husband wa...

Now That I have moved out of the suburbs and into downtown Minneapolis, I have had many eye-opening experiences that are starting to change the way I think. Not a day goes by where I don't see a homless person. On the drive home from work it is one on each corner of the freeway exit. They have shifts and days I 'm starting to notice. The Native in his forties, begging for cash is there saturdays afternoon. The black man in his 30's only want cash and smokes. The day I gave him a lighter, h...

After reading Jaime's blog I had a craving for some culver's frozen custard. So Jay and I went to Culver's for a treat. I had a double scoop of chocolate and vanilla frozen custard. And it was good.......

I am super excited! A wonderfully nice co-worker of mine is switching shifts with me so I can get to go to my audition this Saturday. I ralked to the head of the team that is casting, and preference will be given to models over 5ft 6in... Woo hoo I am 5'8!!! And thin lanky chicas, a I skinny as can be and lanky like a giraffe..... So I am hopeful, but not overally, that I will get to do this, since there is not a lot of chances to do runway work in Minnesota... So wish me luck!

Why did I drink a soda at 10 pm? It is now 2:15 am and no sleep in sight!!!!! I tried laying down for an hour to no avail. I was sure I would be fine having a can of Cherry Pepsi. Apparently not. I need to be up for work in 5 and 1/2 hours, and I can't even fall asleep. Bah! I have a feeling come 7 am, I will feel like I could sleep just fine. Story of my life!

Tonight Jay and I went to Ikea to get a new duvet cover. Unfortunatly they were out of stock for the one I wanted, so the old one is just going to have to do for the time being. Luckily though we got a new coffee table that works really well for our living room, it is more sturdy and a better match to the wood on our entertainment center. Best of all it was dirt cheap!!!!! I really like Ikea and all, but I notice that the lights there give me a headache, so I am not as much a fan as I w...

I would like to preface this by saying I have never not been offered a job that I have interviewd for, so today was a first lesson in disapointment. Last month I applied for a promotion and have been working my butt off to prove myself. All my superiors kept telling me how impressed they are with me and so on... So I finally got my interview for the positon a week ago. The interview went alright, and I knew that there were other applicants that they would interview before I found out. ...

I have been really busy, but am still alive! Look for a new article coming soon!

Of course as soon as I felt I was "finding Myself", I fall back to square one. I feel lost. I am having a rough time right now. People I thought were my friends, are not. I feel like my kindness is taken advantage of, and I am sick of it. I am bitter. I have lost some really important friendships these last few months and most recently, and it burns. People you thought would be there forever are leaving you. I think I put way to much energy into friendships. Screw it. I give up....

It may be shallow, but I want to be famous. I think a big part of me is still in awe of the idea of my name in lights, camera's flashing. I know being famous can suck a lot. But I want to be the center of attention. I want to be the name on everyones tounge, if only for a day. I wish I was a model or an actress. I want to see my name in the credits, to view myself on the big screen I want to sign autographs. I want to be beautiful, to wear expensive gowns, to debut the latest fashion...

I think I am finally growing into my skin. I think lately I have been searching. Searching for myself, for direction, for who I am. I started not caring what people thought of me, which for me is a difficult thing to do. I have started living for me. I have become a bit selfish, but am actually starting to know myself. I have been changing, new friendships being formed, old friendships drifting away, and I still ask myself what the hell I am doing. I feel trapped in a shitty j...

My most favorite color in the world is pink, and I have been contemplating dying my hair pink. My only problem is as it grows out and fades it looks really stupid. Problem solved. I got a few stratigically placed pink extensions, which I absolutly LOVE. They last about 2 months at which point they either have to be tightened or cut out. Yay, I have pink hair!
