Really

2010-04-21T21:26:00.003-04:00

I know I haven't been updating. I have been working hard with school, since math is my worst subject, I have to really buckle down. So lets see. Things that have been happening. I had an great 24th birthday. Casey and I went out to dinner, he also got me a pretty dress, two necklaces and a shirt that I wanted. He is awesome. I also went out to Texas and saw my dad which was great. I will do another post just about that soon.

Zombie cold

2010-03-08T13:06:00.002-05:00

I know I should post more. The last week of work that I had and school on top of it left me no time. I'm indifferent about being out of work. On the one hand it is nice to have more time to focus on school. On the other hand I want to work. I like working. I'm trying to find something I will enjoy doing but I am well aware that i may have to settle. I've had one interview last friday and I haven't heard back yet so we will see how that goes. I've also been sick. For the last two weeks I've had some head, sinus throat thing which doesn't seem to be going away. I get tired from it and don't feel like doing much. I can only think of one thing that it can be. I'm turning into a zombie.

John Mayer and other happenings.

2010-02-15T14:53:00.002-05:00

I have posted since before the John Mayer concert. His concert was absolutely amazing. I was in row 40 on the floor with my sister. He played for almost two hours and was absolutely hilarious. Work has gotten so busy lately due to Valentines Day and the sale because of the store closing. I had a good Valentines Day. Casey and I went out for sushi a few days beforehand and he got me some yummy chocolate and a nice card. I ordered him a shirt which should be here soon and some candy and a card.

Is John Mayer hiring?

2010-02-01T22:23:00.003-05:00

For almost the past year at work people have come into the store and when I mention a sale, many people always ask the same thing "are you closing"? I always responded the same way, "nope it's just a sale", and it was just a sale. Even after we merged with another company it was still just a sale. Now however when I go into work and people ask, I will have a different response.

My boss called me today and I could just tell by the can I talk tone that something was going on. Last time I heard that tone, I was promoted, not the case this time. She told that they called her this morning and said they were closing our store. It's not just our store. The company feels the mall we are in is going downhill. I had to go in and sign a form and while i was in there behind the counter a lady asked the same question I have heard so many times, and this time we told her yes, we are closing. She looked shocked that we were laughing about it even though I had just found out 20 minutes prior.

What else can I do. Moping wont change anything. I just have to come to terms with the fact that after the 28th, I wont have a job. I'll be fine, I'm sure I will, it just stings a little. I know it's not that big of a deal and things could always be worse. I am grateful that myself and my family and friends are healthy and safe. My boss won't need any help at the other store (same store just different location) she manages since she will be back there full time. So now is the time for me to start looking and applying. I think I deserve to wallow just a bit though so I feel like getting some sushi soon. On the bright side I get to see John Mayer on Friday with my sister. Hey, maybe he is hiring. =)

No Beads for me.

As much as I would love to post more. The truth is sometimes I just don't have time. Ok, fine I have the time but I'm too tired or lazy to do so. I've been working either opening or closing the store for the past few days. I took a math test and actually did well for myself. I sadly missed Gasparilla due to work, so no seeing the pirates invade the city and then have a parade this year. Hopefully next year.

Celebrity Crush.

2010-01-23T16:16:00.003-05:00

Has anyone else ever noticed a pattern in the people you find attractive. I have definitely noticed that all of the celebrity guys and some non, that I think are cute have some similarities. See if you can notice my pattern.
Seth Rogen
Kevin Smith
Adam Richman

Has anyone noticed anything yet. They are all or have been chubby. Casey tells me all of the time I am without a doubt a chubby chaser. Well I say that is just find with me. Anyone else notice a pattern in which you find attractive?

Trickery

2010-01-18T11:52:00.002-05:00

My sister informed before Christmas she had bought tickets to John Mayer for her and a friend. Later on at Christmas she said you might be able to go. Then on Saturday at my nephews birthday she informs me it was all a joke and the ticket was for me the whole time. She just wanted me to be surprised. Speaking of trickery, I would like to talk about the whole Conan/ Jay / Nbc situation. I absolutely hate what Nbc has done to Conan. He has been with them for nearly 18 years and this is how he gets treated. They say his tonight show ratings were not what Jay's were. Well you know what he has only been on the air for 7 months. I do believe you gave Jay two years to catch up to where Carson was. All and all here, I am team COCO.

Party

2010-01-15T22:13:00.003-05:00

Tomorrow, I am going to a pretty exclusive party. I need my invite to get in etc... The party I am speaking of is for my now Four year old nephew Will. He informed me on the phone I needed my ticket to get in. I just can't believe he's four. I remember when my sister called me to watch my other nephew Brayden when she went into labor.

First day jitter

2010-01-11T19:20:00.002-05:00

Even though I have been in school for the better part of 18 years, I still get a little nervous on the first day. Today was the first day of the new semester. I am only taking on class since it is a math class and I am not the best at math. The class itself was fine. The teacher has the reputation of being very good for people who aren't the best at math. I think I will do fine with it as long as I really apply myself. In other news there was ice on the ground most of day today. Got to love Florida.

Ant Crack

2010-01-08T22:01:00.002-05:00

So, for some reason even though we keep our apartment clean we have a little ant problem. Well today I bought a little liquid trap and i kid you not, the ants have swarmed it. It apparently kills them within a day or two. While i'm glad they will be gone soon, I cant help but to want to kill the trail of them in my living room.

I'm a pepper

2010-01-05T22:59:00.004-05:00

Last night after take Casey (my boyfriend) some dinner at work,

I decided to go to Target on the way home. I needed a dish brush and some sponges so I grabbed those and then decided to look around since I love Target. While in the grocery section I saw Mountain Dew Throwback which is Mountain Dew just with real sugar and not corn syrup. I thought to myself oh that's neat and continued on until I got to the soda aisle, where I saw this. Dr. Pepper Throwback. I love Dr. Pepper to no end. My dad sent me Dr. Pepper barbeque sauce for Christmas. I immediately grabbed a 12 pack and headed to the register. I think I scared the cashier with my enthusiasm about it. I went on to blabber how you can only get it from Dublin Texas usually. I'm thinking of stock piling it before it disappears.

A little more

2010-01-04T21:59:00.002-05:00

Decided I would tell everyone a little more about who I am. I am from Florida and I am currently going to school to get my degree in Mass Communications. I hope use my degree in some form of media, until then I am a retail slave. I have an amazing boyfriend who I live with. I nag him to no end but for some reasons he sticks around. I also have a great family and amazing friends. I am a bit of technology nerd. I also love movies etc... I am going to end this now before it starts to sound like an online dating ad.

Here we go

If you are reading this you somehow stumbled upon my little corner of the world. I decided to start this not for any real reason than to put my thoughts out there. I've been reading blogs for a few years now, so I decided to give it a try. Enough of why I did this and on to who I am. My name is Amanda and in short I'm a 23 year old who goes to school, works, hangs out with her boyfriend and has an unhealthy obsession with Food Network.
