FUN FUN!!
2. Friday night went to my friend Julies. She was having people over, so I dragged Steph along. :) We were told that we're the cutest sisters ever. HAHA
3. Hung out with my boys for a couple hours this week... Live sitting around BS-ing with them and laughing about nothing.
4. JOB INTERVIEW!!! Went really well, but don't want to jinx it, so we'll just leave it at that.
5. Touch up on the extensions, nails done, tanning and gym. FUN being a girl, ain't it?
6. Sonics for lunch then Vegas bound with Ash. Got to Vegas and started getting ready. Headed out to the club Surrender to meet up with Ash's friends... And had a fun and drama free night!
7. So far, nothing has been accomplished today. But hopefully stop by Pink's for some fat food (lol) then the dreadful drive home! Oh joy!!

All work, no play...
I wish there were more hours in the day!!!
For once, I would like to work (not really), get home, relax for a few, go to the gym, eat dinner at a decent hours, read, work on projects, run errands, and go to bed at a decent hours.
UGGGGGHHHH

Favors, favors, & more favors. ;)
1. Happy Father's Day!!! We spent this Father's Day at my aunts house... always fun with the fam! =)
2. Went and watched "Something Borrowed" with the cousins, the sisters and the brother-in-law. Wasn't as good as the book of course, but was still a good movie.
3. Hung out with my other set of boys.. Sonny & Chris. Missed those boys. =)
4. House/Dog sat for a night for my aunt, while her and my cousins spent the night in Palm Springs with my uncle, and while I was at work all day by myself the following day (in pain, with a stiff neck)... they were hanging out by the pool and tanning. =( LOL
5. Babysat for my other aunt and her bf... so I had my yogurt and movie date with myself and watched "The Last Song". Gets me every time... ::sniff sniff::
6. Shopping. Victoria Secrets had their semi-annual sale, and of course the wires in two of my bras snapped at the same time (not sure exactly what that means)... so I had an excuse to spend some money at Victoria Secrets.
7. Played "event planner" for a short minute on Saturday. Scoped out parks online, and ended up driving to one and taking pictures/videos to send to my bff who was in a wedding the SAME DAY... this is why people need to hire an event coordinator.. so their groomsmen aren't texting their "wedding coordinator" friend asking where they should take the wedding pictures! lol But I did hit 2 birds with 1 stone... I'm helping a friend of mine plan her pre-release book party.. and we might be hosting it at the same park. =)

AMAZING DEAL!
I love Fridays. One, because it's the start of the weekend; two, sometimes it's payday; and three... I get to blog about FASHION! When I have something fashionable to write about, I get excited.
Now, awhile back I told you guys about ShoeDazzle.com. How it's only $39.95 for a pair of heels, flats, sandals.. whatever kind of shoe it may be. Well, your first purchase is 20% off... and I've been scoping out these shoes for months (every week I get an email about new shoes). I received an email the end of last week saying 40% or was it 50%?? I don't remember.. all I know was I picked out the most gorgeous and uncommon pair of heels, had it shipped for free and only paid $20!!! AMAZING!!!!
Look at these pretty little things! ;)

Un-buttered Toast
I hate how it's so easy to wake up and instantly be in a bad mood. Fortunately, it didn't last long this morning.. but it didn't take much either. Only getting like 6 hours of sleep... I woke up and everything was fine; until I went to make my oatmeal, and we were out of milk. Thought, okay.. we'll do toast. No bread. Then my mom reassures me that there's one slice left between the ends... so I toast that, no butter. I tried to cook my instant oatmeal with water, and it came out a little nasty.. so while I'm looking for other cereal... remembered, no milk. LOL So I ate my somewhat margarined toast, and my yucky watered oatmeal.. then as I'm untying my braid from last night, realized that my hair is still damp.. so the hairstyle I was going for today failed. Then when I got in the car to leave, I must have forgot to turn down my radio last night, cause I pretty much jumped out of my seat with how loud my music was. SIIIIIGHHHHH
Now mind you, my morning probably wouldn't have happened like this if I didn't shower and go to bed around 12:30, and if I still buy all of my own food. I haven't had to depend on my mom/dad for groceries or food for awhile... but unfortunately am lacking in the "finance" department, and with trying to get stuff ready for Stephs shower (yes, I know I have like 2 months, but I'm a planner!!), I've cut out buying my breakfast foods and am now mooching off my parents (if they didn't know, they know now). So, as I'm still looking for a job... I'm hoping that a part-time job I just applied to follows through. Could use the 2nd income most definitely.

Friends, Friends, Friends
1. Monday was a verrryy long day. I flew in from Arizona from visiting Jackie and her fam, went to work, went to get blood work done, went grocery shopping, friend of mine, Kristal, stopped by with her Mom and her baby... was an extremely LONG day!
2. After work I worked on bridal shower invites, AGAIN... then went to Ashley's house to "catch up" and update each other on our lives from the last couple months. Ended up leaving her house at 12:30 at night, and was still totally exhausted (by this night, I concluded no more 7am flights back on Monday mornings... ruined my whole week).
3. Picked up my bridesmaid dress, last couple things to finish up the bridal shower invites, and also applied to David's Bridal. Figured if I get a part time job, it would be easier to work somewhere close to work; and also would definitely help me get my bills paid off a little faster.
4. Friday night, Ash asked me to go out with her to a local bar for a drink or two. We definitely had some moments, some laughs, some awkward times (not together, but separately... which included a trashy stripper peeing in a trashcan, and me making up a bogus lie about [my boyfriend that I live with who I've dated forever] to get out of giving a guy my number. It was just a random and weird night.
5. SLEEEEPP!!! FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON MY ZZZZZZ'S... YESSSSSS!!!!
6. Saturday night I went to Hooters with the BFF (Bobby) to watch the UFC fights and have a couple beers, and a heart to heart. ;) We hadn't hung out in awhile so it was good to catch up... missed the guy! Later that night, I watched "Waiting for Forever"... which I definitely had high expectations for, and it wasn't as good.
7. Went to the park with Tristan, Lark and their kids; and Erin and her kid met up with us. It was a fun park date with the kids... was funny though, I felt like the "big" kid of the group. Later, Tristan came over and we watch "Burlesque"... GOOD MOVIE!

It's a Small World After All....
So, last night was the first night in a long time that I decided to go out and have a drink. Given that the beginning of May I told myself..
1) No more drinking
2) You'll be working out at the gym 5-6 days a week
And has any of that happened? Sort of.... ok, not really.
The gym started out good, until I got sick and stopped going so I wouldn't die on the elliptical. And since then (before last night), I had one beer, and two glasses of wine in the last month and a half. Then last night, given the headache I've received from work, the minor stresses I've had sitting on my shoulder, the unknown of some certain things in my life.. I decided to go out. And as we pull up to a local bar.. hoping not to see anyone and just have ONE drink.... I realized soon enough...
Wasn't gonna happen.
Six beers later, hanging out with people I'd never thought I'd hang out with., realizing how small of a world it is... I've come to the conclusion that I REAAAAALLLLLLYYY want to get out of Chino. I understand that the world is just as small anywhere else... but somewhere else doesn't include people who know people, people who look like people, and people that I could possibly know. LOL

Bridesmaids Dress!
Bridesmaids dress is in!!!
As much as I should be excited for it... I'm not; cause I'm thinking I could have used that $140 on something else that month, and paid for the dress a month or so later since it didn't take as long to come in as they said. Grrr!! Anywho, our dresses are plum (which means, I have to dye back to a more common color since red hair and a plum dress probably won't look as classy) LOL
Our dresses are short, bubble hem dresses. Plum, and made of taffeta. It has the same color sash to tie around our waists, so I think we decided we're going to wear it like the picture... with a bow off to the side. Fortunately, the dresses look good on all of us (since we all have different body types). This was the ONLY dress we tried on.. it was a little toooo easy! But, now we move onto shoes! We're thinking more of a tan/beige/nude color shoe.. so we shall see!!

Good Mood!
I'm thankful for being able to take a mini vaca this past weekend.
I'm thankful for the drive from the airport and to the airport (as late and early as they were).
I'm thankful for the support from my beautiful friend and new mommy-of-two (Jac) on my new project... and getting me motivated to keep going. Also thankful for her creative ideas and help, and also letting me send her conversations. LOL
I'm thankful for my friends that make it easy to pick-up where we left off, and can talk and hangout even if we hadn't talked or hung out in months (Ash & Kristal). =)
And lastly, I'm thankful for my mood lately. Given the circumstances of not receiving good news on a recent doctor visit, not getting enough sleep since Monday's flight and my late night visit with Ash, and getting headaches 3 out of 5 days of the week cause of work (which I'm totally hating right now)... I've been in a relatively good mood. Hoping things are starting to look up.. =)

Ma'am
I'm fine being called:
"Hey you"
"Miss"
"Lady"
"Beautiful"
"Bitch"
"Sweetie
"Babe" and/or "Baby"
.....
Okay, the last 3 or 4 are a little personal, and only apply to certain people. LOL But back to the main subject... I don't mind someone calling me random names, but the one I DO NOT approve of..
"Ma'am"
UGHHHH X34982498123408
I totally get that it's out of "respect", as a customer told me today when I told him that was the 2nd time I was called that today and it makes me feel old. He apologized, and then said something a little cheesy about wanting to know my name, and he'll call me by my name next time; and then saying he would ask me my age, but knows he shouldn't, yadda yadda yadda. Then I think he was trying to score brownie points by saying he felt really bad. LOL He made me laugh, so I got over it. But the first time I was called that today was by a kid like 2-4 years younger than me (I'm guessing), and I handed him an employment application and he said, "Thank you ma'am." As soon as he walked out I heard from a couple of the guys at work, giving me a hard time cause I was called "ma'am" and that I'm old. Then like 20 minutes later, the kid brings back the application and hands it to the floor manager (who's a good 20 years older than me). The kid walked out, and the manager laughed and made fun cause he wasn't called "sir". WTF?!?
The only other time I've been called ma'am is by a close friend of mine, and when I sort of demand something or reprimand him.. his common response is "Yes ma'am". But he says that cause he knows I can't stand it. But when someone is NOT joking, and uses the word sincerely; I stings. What happened to "miss"? Do I not looked like a "misses" anymore?!?
I'm officially going through it... I'm officially OLD, and I haven't even hit 25 yet.

Success
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, red lights called enemies, caution lights called family. You will have flat tires called jobs, but if you have a spare called determination, an engine called preserverance, a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!!

I Remember Me
"I dream about the place where all the broken pieces fit together, cause in this world, anything can hurt you. It'll push you, then forget you... stole my history. But I remember me, I remember me... It don't matter where I go, what I'm told, now you know... I remember me.
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die... I remember me."
Even if I say goodbye, start to cry, do or die... I remember me."

Phoenix!
1. Started the week off (on Tuesday cause of the holiday) feeling pretty crappy. I had the worst headache imaginable later in the day Tuesday afternoon. Was so bad, I felt drunk and didn't think I should have been driving. It hurt behind my eyes, which was causing me to want to close my eyes, so I went home and spent the rest of the night in bed. I ate in bed, did computer stuff in bed, and finished the book I've been reading "Something Borrowed". (NOW I CAN GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!)
2. Did without my cough medicine on Wednesday and it was the best decision! I felt more like myself, and was able to function on a normal level! Smart me!! ;) So after work, I went with my mom to Missy's softball end of the year pizza party, and had dinner. Then went home to pack for Phoenix!!
3. Flew out to Arizona Thursday night after work. I bought this trip a few months ago when Southwest was having an amazing deal, and have been looking forward to this trip since! Left Thursday night, and am flying back Monday morning. The only thing I'm NOT looking forward to is having to go straight to work after I fly in. Thankfully I have AMAZING parents who don't mind driving 2 cars to Ontario Airport, so they can leave me with my car to go to work. =)
4. PITA JUNGLE!! This is my newest favorite place to come eat when I visit. I can't even explain it and the food, but we had pita bread with hummus, spanikopita, chicken cheese quesadillas, and tomato basil and mozzarella salad. YUUMM!!
5. Went to Michael's and Hobby Lobby yesterday (mainly to look for paper that I'm using for Steph's Bridal Shower invites), but also to just go take a look at my favorite store. ;) On the way out, I asked Jac if this was her first time out without either of the kids (we left them at home with Jeff), and she replied with "Yes, I feel lost. So, sorry if I'm not talking." I found that hysterical.
6. Went to the middle of no-where last night for dinner (where they have this famous pie, which wasn't so good), and to listen to live music. At first I was a little worried, cause it was seriously in the middle of no where, like The Hills Have Eyes (if you haven't seen that movie, DON'T WATCH IT!!) But we had dinner, then went outside, did the Cha Cha Slide with Ali, then just hung out with her fam.
7. Went to church with the Douma family this morning. I find myself during church thinking I should move out here, cause the atmosphere/environment; I'd like to come to this church on a weekly basis.
