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...

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!

Did you know that clams do not have brains? What useless trivia do you have floating around in your head?

When you look back at your life do you remember everything, or just certian moments that stick out over others. We tend to remember moments about oursleves and others. During a eulogy, people speak of the important positive moments in our life. Marriages, Children, professional and personal acomplishments. Not all momets are positive. Are you reminded more often of the negative moments in you life? The mistakes? Do you dwell on the moments that you wish you could change, those you wish ...

I think I like being a girly girl. Wearing pink, wearing skirts. Curling my hair, and painting my face. I like to make my eyelashes long, tanning my skin, painting my nails. I love high high heels, adorable shoes, and a matching bag. I like my blonde hair with its sunshine streaks. I like things that sparkle, I like being a brand whore. I love shopping. But then I feel like I hate it, hate the girly girl I can be. I want to dread my hair. Pierce my eyebrow. Stop...

Today was the funeral of a good family friend, Mark Anderson. Everyone who met Mark couldn't help but like him! Mark was well known for his practical jokes and many stories were told at the service of the jokes he and his kids played on eachother. Today Mark decided to mess with us I think. At the funeral home My MIL, SIL and I were loading the car with the flowers, and we didn't get in the procession line. We were going to drive to the cemetary as soon as the flowers were loaded. ...
