Two Year Anniversary! And job offers left and right!

It’s been two years since I started this blog and I am so happy to have reached another milestone. I’m going to keep it short but it’s something worth blogging about. I know it’s going to take time but I’m going to keep trying with this blog. Not going to give up just yet.

Peter took fours days off and it was great to have been able to spend time with him and Jackson. Peter works 80+ hour weeks (I know many of you out there can probably top that but it’s still a lot more than 10 hours a week) so we were able to go to a birthday party, shop at IKEA, and enjoy our material goods of this world. School has been well. I am considering  taking the summer off although it may set me back a semester. I’m working on my Oglethorpe University application and I hope that goes well.

I had to record another monologue today for my theatre class and I love monologues. I do because I am really good at them and good at writing them. I still have some assignments for art, film, and political science, but it sounds like an easygoing weekend for me … that is if I am not working.

Speaking of working, I’ve been trying to get a part-time job …. part-time because that’s what most places are willing to offer nowadays. LOFT has since then fallen from the list. At least they were nice enough to send me a postcard. I’m kidding … no, it wasn’t nice. I applied for a temporary job that involved selling authentic African baskets at a Costco fair/convention thing. It would only be two weeks but $14/week isn’t bad either. Baby GAP has called pertaining to a second interview. I missed the call today but I’ve got to figure out what I want honestly. I just got a call from GAP for a first interview. I’m kind of torn. I can go into retail through GAP or I can go into concierge and the hospitality industry easily with a job at guest services. She said she had me on the schedule so I’m guessing I’ve got the job. Something about Friday, not sure if I work on Friday or if she will call me, if anything, I’ll just call her Friday morning. Man, the things I had to do for the guest services position. From countless emails, to voicemails, to SAT-like assessment tests, and background checks, I sure hope they treat me well.

I am afraid of working at Guest Services because I think people will rip me a new one if I can’t efficiently send them to the restroom. And there is gift card fraud too … I’m a pleasant person who gives good face, I should be fine. I guess I should start studying the map and store directory as well before Friday arrives.

I hope you all have been doing well and have fun with your spring cleaning. I know I did! And when it comes to spring cleaning, you have to buy a lot of stuff to replace all the old crap you just threw away. That’s it for today; I’ve got to go finish the IKEA leftovers from yesterday. I love broccoli medallions and I finally got them in the frozen pack. Here is a photo of the salmon spread and the crispy rolls I got from IKEA. Super tasty!Image

New Nail Color

Well, it’s not technically new because this color debuted in 2009 but it’s so popular that it still gets its own display section at the retailer. It’s Essie’s Mint Candy Apple!

I think the color is very unique because it’s a color you’d find coating an M&M. Mint Candy Apple looks like a cousin of the Tiffany Blue but it’s also quite green, almost seafoam.

So sorry about my cuticles. My cuticle cream has been missing for a few days and I don’t like to cut them. I was so anxious to paint my nails that I forgot I had taken my inhaler and as a side effect, it made my hands shake so much. I paint really well but nothing can help a shaky hand. In case you didn’t know that, using your inhaler helps with breathing problems from asthma, but it gives you the shakes.

I also got Essie’s “Good to Go” Rapid Dry Top Coat because I could not find a bottle of Seche Vite anywhere at Target so I had to settle.

Each Essie product (the nail polish and the top coat) priced at $7.79 although $8 per bottle is the standard. Have a good night and thank you for all of your support today. I’m hoping to write a few more reviews before school starts.

UPDATE: Never mind, school has started … not officially but my classes’ assignments have been posted. Classes will start on Monday, January 7th. So I’ll try to keep the blog posts coming even though school is my top priority. Night everyone!
