BIG CHANGES OVER HERE

No I'm not changing my blog template, god knows I don't have any idea how to go about doing such things! I am officially no longer a waitress, I am now a claims benefit specialist. A specialist. Um, think of the implications. I completed my first week of training and lived to tell. It wasn't so bad, a lot of reading and signing. Everyone seems to be nice enough. Of course there's always the weirdo of the group and this training class is no exception! And yes mom, I found some friends to eat lunch with! I swear my mother still thinks I'm 5 years old.

Today is also moving day. That's why I'm up at 7 am on my very first Saturday off ever! I hate to move, it is such a pain in the ass. Well I figured I'd better update yinz. Gotta get back to packing! Enjoy the weekend!

Where are all those chocolate bunnies?

I wish I was still a little girl, waking up on easter morning and looking all over the house for my easter basket full of chocolate. When I was really little my aunt used to paint bunny tracks all over the house and driveway, proving to us that the easter bunny was there and hid our treats somewhere. I loved that.

But, I am no longer a little girl and the easter bunny doesn't bring me baskets full of sugar anymore so I guess I'll just have to settle for a good cup of joe. One thing is for sure, after doing some major shopping yesterday, I definately have a new easter outfit to wear (minus the bonnet of course).

Yep, my cousin finally came through and took me on a shopping spree yesterday. I found some awesome new clothes to wear to work. I ended up getting like 15 outfits for around $300. I was shocked at all the sales going on. Bonus for me. It kinda felt like I was on that show "What Not to Wear" and I was waiting for Stacey London and Clinton to come popping out from behind some manequin! The shopping went really well when you have someone to tell you what will look good. There's not one thing that I bought that I don't like and that doesn't look great on me. For once in my life I feel age appropriate in my clothes. I have confidence now that I won't look like I'm "trying" too hard.

Enough about material things. Wishing everyone a happy easter and a great weekend!

baffled

Why do people always disappoint? I know that we're all human and things come up but I try my hardest to do the things I say I'm gonna do. I'm feeling a bit deflated and well kinda pissed off this morning. I had made plans with one of my cousins to go shopping for some new clothes to wear to my new job. This cousin of mine is one of those people who always look great no matter what she's wearing. She has a sense of style that I just don't possess. So I asked her to go with me for some professional causual clothes I can wear to work. We first agreed to yesterday morning, then she moved it to 3pm, then to 5pm, then moved it to this morning. I woke up and low and behold a text: Sorry can we do it tomorrow morning, I promise I'll be there.

Yea I guess but I won't be holding my breath. So those of you reading this who're thinking, god give this girl some cheese with her wine, I understand. It may not seem to be a big deal to most. Most women would just go shopping by themselves and not really think twice. I am unfortunatley unlike most women; I don't like to shop. I never know what looks good on me. I'm at a stupid in-between age, too young for juniors but too old for misses. What's a girl to do?

Yes I'll get over it and I may even grow a set and go to the mall by myself today and see what i can find. I'm still hurt though.
