"I'm never this mello. I'm never this indecisive. But when i'm with you nothing else matters."
So I think I'm at a really good point right now. About two weeks ago you could find me in my bed crying to ben about how much i hate my job, how i'm stressed that i'm going to lose harley, and that i'm broke and the miles on my car are soooo over the limit right now. But considering that friday is my last day of work, i start next week on the new job (that is only 3.5 miles from my house instead of 25!), this job will pay me more, and harley and i are staying together when he leaves (woo hoo!) I'm at a better place. Now I just need to make some money to pay the bills and buy ben a huge lobster dinner and i'll be set.
What do you get your family for Christmas when they all already have everything. Kelly says no lotions. Toby needs money like it's air but won't take just money. Mom and dad have everything. Really, everything. The only person I can find a present for is harley and that's just because he happened to lose his favorite t-shirt and i'm just going to replace it.
I think I might miss the people I work with. Think being the key word there.
I was unaware they sold q-tips that are pink. That was pretty rad.
I got a sleeping beauty doll for toys for tots and i'm so excited for some little girl to get it!
I love making pancakes. Or having pancakes made for me. That second one is even better.
I tried to buy lottery tickets from the convience store guy at 3 am on our way home from old town. He told me know. I'm surprised the words came out clear enough that he understood what I was saying.
I let someone else drive my car.
Life isn't going to be the same in a month.

steaks and new jobs
It's 11:20 and I should be in bed. Not that it's late, but I have to work so early. I just applied for a marketing job online. I really do need to get a new job. I'm letting myself and everyone at work down when I'm at this one. And I could go ahead and bad mouth the company and the employees, but it's really just me that's messing this one up. I think that I just don't fit in too well anymore. I'm too crazy to have to abide by the rules that they have. Yeah, I know everyone is fed up now that the focus is back on Scottsdale since Edina opened. And it doesn't help that Robb is always in and always watching. But the main problem here is me. So I'm working on fixing that because...well...I need to be happy and this job just ain't cutting it.
I had a good weekend though. Despite the fact that I broke Ryan's camera and we ended up taking a limo to get my car on sunday morning, it was good. Lots of sleeping, lots of steak (woo hoo!) and lots of being lazy and watching tv. It's nice to be back home though. I feel like I'm never here anymore. I want to work on that, but since Harley is leaving in January I want to spend as much time up there as possible. I wish he wasn't leaving. Geez, I finally meet one and he has to finish school back home...arrrigggghhhh...
Okay, so I'm writing such boring stuff it's putting me to sleep. I'm done!

A good weekend?
So I missed the game of the decade. Don't ask why. But it was still a good weekend. I went out with friends (and the boy! the boy who is my boyfriend as of friday, woo hoo!) on friday night to mill and had a great time...except that we took my car out to the bar and left it in the garage. Well, 9:30 rolls around saturday morning and carolyn and tyler are gone and tyler didn't leave his keys so harley could take me. Or so we thought. I guess we just couldn't find them. So I'm stuck at Carolyns and supposed to be in Tucson by like 11 when Britni calls. Thank God, she's all, "can you take me to tucson?" and I said, 'If you come get me.' So she did. And we went. She's good company and a good girl in general, which is nice. We got to the tailgate, left the tailgate, went to the mall, left the mall, and ended up back at Andy's place. All 15 of us (who all did we go out with?) went to macaroni grill and then to cactus moon...
Cactus moon was so much fun!! I totally thought it was going to suck, but it was a blast. So I can't country dance. So neither can anyone else. :0)
Sunday morning we got up and got lunch at the good egg. Britni and I took of back to Tucson because she had to study and i had a purse party to go to. We got in the car and my mp3 player wouldn't turn on. Long story short, I got a new mp3 player for free from best buy because my battery died on the old one. (here's the link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7344885&productCategoryId=pcmcat10200050002&type=product&cmp=++&id=1122652626044) It's smaller and holds less, but it has touch screen buttons instead of like, pushing them, and it's compatible with like, outlook express or something for the planner. And it has an fm tuner, and came with a best buy gift card. All in all, it's great.
So a new boyfriend and a new mp3 player all in one weekend. I guess missing the game wasn't so important :0)

[Link] | So I didn't really want to go out last night, but it was Katie's birthday and they were going to cue, so i figured, heck, i'll just stay at carolyn's and get a little more sleep in the morning. WRONG. We went to bed at 2, which is fine...unless you have to be up at 6. Then it sucks. But all in all, it was fun. Carolyn and I tell people we meet that we're sisters. If they don't believe us, we show our IDs. It works because we have the same last name and we're tall. We have a blast running around Mill though, even if it's not quite true. It's also good to get to know the bouncers at cue because then you just go in.
I spray tanned again today. I think i'm going to look like a shake n bake katie tomorrow when we go out. Oh well, I'll be a badly tanned bee for halloween....and on that note...happy halloween!! (i'm going to take a nap.)

[Link] | What a weekend...so much fun last night! I met up with Carolyn to go to Mill Ave for the night. We ended up staying at cue club for most of the night and meeting up with liz, tony, lexy, greg, and katie. I didn't even have that much to drink, but I do know that I ate an entire can of spaghetti-os and woke up with one of my earrings in the bowl. I think we danced next door. Oh, we also took pictures. In any event, it was a very fun night :0)
Since Carolyn's car is being fixed, I took her to work today (after we walked back from her house to mill ((which is like 10 miles away. and by 10 i mean probably 1 or 2)) ate at bisonwitches (which was weird because it is so new) and broke the car of out the parking garage) She works at darque tan up in scottsdale. I was just planning on dropping her but she offered a free tan and i thought, well, what the heck, why not. It was the same sort of machine that ross used on friends and the tan got all screwed up because he didn't turn around. She gave me directions and I went into the booth...longest six seconds of my life. I thought i was going to suffocate. So now i'm very fakey bakey and my co-workers are going to think i was in mexico over the weekend...I don't think i'll do it again but it was an interesting experience.
Don't ever drink liquid cocaine. It's rumplemintz, jaeger, and 151...no mixers. Liz ordered two shots of it yesterday for her and tony but didn't want them so lexy and i drank half of each. Worst. Shot. Ever. Vodka red bull on the other hand, quite tasty.
Who is going out for halloween?

eyes wide open
I'm tired. And I'm sitting here thinking about the little things that have made my friends cry over the past few days. I'm thinking about the deep, sinking feeling that I get when I see my friends sob. And as I sit here and think about these things they're dealing with, I wonder...Life really is too short to not throw yourself into it. Too many nights get wasted because we're under the assumption that there will be more. What if there won't be? And not to sound morbid, but one day there won't be. Noshin's dad, Fern's car accident, and Carolyn's car accident all make me think. Thank God all these people are still around, but what if it was worse? Life is just too short. Geez, just love, and just live, and don't get angry about stupid things, and don't take people for granted.
I need to sleep.

burning for you
random thoughts...
-what is in my fridge? apples, white zin, evian, milk, pasta, turkey and cheese. what's in yours?
-don't you hate it when you look in the rearview mirror to change lanes and you see someone coming up in the lane you want to be in and they're coming fast and you know you have time to move but you hesitate and then you can't go?
-isn't it the same with moments while you're in love?
-i hate seeing stuffed animals thrown away. There are currently 3 on the side of the 101 on my way home, two penguins and a bear. It's just sad.
-The Evanessance cd makes me want to scream. But I like it.
-The sales guy at target laughed at me today when i bought the new ashlee simpson cd. I probably would have laughed at me too.
-Robot Chicken on adult swim is so funny. i wish i could stay awake long enough for it.
-i'm a huge fan of the feeling you have after you just got out of the shower and you've dressed and are so fresh and clean.
-i wish my mom lived down here so we could have mom/daughter lunches.
-it's frustrating when people come in to my work and ask, 'is this all you've got for your selection of wipe off boards/shoe racks/utensil holders/etc.?' I want to say, 'actually, since you ask, we have a special back room for those who ask that exact question with more of a selection. Let me show you where it is I do like my job enough to keep it though, so that's out of the question.
-nothing beats chocolate cake. except maybe 2 chocolate cakes.
-everytime i see another car with a u of a license frame or plate i smile.
(look, the cat on my mood is painting. rad!)

Best...weekend...ever
This was one of the best weekends I can remember in a long time.
Saturday morning we left Phoenix for Tucson to catch the football game. We tailgated starting at 11:30 until about 5:00 - i got to see a lot of old friends, i got to throw the football, be on the winning team of flippy cup and for some reason, i'm not sunburned. Awesome! We ate at bj's saturday night, which was delicious. Sunday morning I had lunch with Clark and Elizabeth and helped andy organize some of his stuff. Then we drove back and Jackie drove up so we could go to the Gwen Stefani/Black Eyed Peas concert
More than likely, Gwen Stefani puts on the best concert I've ever seen. Her dancers, outfits, stage sets, everything was amazing...and Black Eyed Peas on top of that? Very good concert. Fergie has such a great voice and the rest are such great dancers. They put on a good show, but it wasn't anything that i'd rave about. They played all of their popular songs, which was good, and they all sounded just right. For the last song, Will.i.am (is that his name) said, 'i know you all want us to play 'let's get it started.' But we're not going to...blah blah blah blah (I can't remember what he said here) But we can play 'let's get retarded...' and then they went right into it and it was so good.
But Gwen...the show had it's weird parts, like breaks between songs where she was changing and whatnot, but overall, she was great. She came up for the first song from below the stage on her throne with the harajuku girls on her sides. The fact that they were all over I thought would have annoyed me but they ended up being such talented dancers that a lot of the time i found myself watching them instead of her. The intro to the song 'hollaback girl' was the best - the lights were all out and all of a sudden some spotlights came on to a drumline. 4 drummers with different sets of drums started and all 8 (4 harajuku girls and 4 guys) came running out and she was behind with that blue band leader jacket on. For the encore she played 'bubble pop electric' (the best song on the cd!) and 'serious'. Very good...very good.
My ears are still ringing. But I love it.

Stupid Daves
I just want to let everyone know that Famous Dave's in Chandler cooks children and breaks child labor laws and is cruel to animals. So you shouldn't eat there and give them business. That place is run by some power hungry stupid woman that cares too much about eating ho hos and ding dongs and wearing pants that don't fit her ass. Stupid Tammy.
I have the weekend off and I'm going to Tucson! Woo hoo!!

Stupid Vikings.
Let me just say for the record that lots of football players probably have sex with prostitutes...probably just not on public boats. That sucks. This really isn't the Vikings year, and this is so shameful. Just because you're not playing well doesn't mean you can go have sex on boats in public. I am ashamed of my team.
I used to work at that restaurant. Stinks for them that they have to deal with this, they're good people. Well, except for their son. But he got a good pie in the face one night at work. Good times.
Stupid vikings.

Frustration.
Frustration in:
-Not having responsibility and/or being important in my job
-Living with someone. Not anyone in particular, just another person.
-Being looked over, again, and again, and again
-losing my best friend
-being broke...all of the time

stetson drive and cookie
Buzzed is good. I went out to a bar in scottsdale tonight with some friends. It was Brent's birthday, so Ben, Britney, Sara, Brent and I went out to Kazimierz wine bar. It was a lot different than any bar that I've ever been to, but in a good way. Instead of tables they had couches with coffee tables. We sat comfortably and drank a bottle of white, a bottle of red, a bottle of champagne, and various plates of fruits, nuts, and cheeses. The coolest part of the night though was the live jazz band. Now, the house band that was there in the beginning was cool. But the coolest part was that after a few songs they asked the crowd if anyone played any instruments. A few people came forward and completely replaced all the members of the original house band, but they still all played cohesively. It was quite impressive. Maybe because of the 3+ glasses of wine I drank, but regardless...I felt very grown up. Now if only the yellow bling on my right hand was real and on my left hand, I would fit into Scottsdale just fine...

too much going out
a guy walks up to our table
Carolyn: "We all have boyfriends."
Guy: "You're not that good looking anyways."
Guy walks away.
So last night Liz, Carolyn, Sabrina and I went out to Devil's Martini in Scottsdale for Liz's birthday. And for once...there was no drama, there was no fighting, no one cried, no one realized 'something about themselves' and we had so much fun. Granted, it was expensive...I ordered a vodka cranberry, figuring a well drink can't cost a ton. Well, their well vodka is Ketel one and the drinks are 6.50. But that's okay, I'll just go work extra hours to support my drinking habits :0)
Carolyn is so hilarious - we were trying to find the number to the cab company and she's all, it's 222-cabcar. Which is not right, so she says it's 222-ride. That sounds about right so she dials the number and then goes, 'oh wait, that's movie fone.' we disagreed and said that's 222-film and she goes, 'that's what i dialed.' We had to explain that the 'f' button and the 'r' button on the phone were different. This was before the alcohol (Okay, so it was funny at the time)
Anyways, such a good time. Tonight I'm supposed to go out with Noshin again but I'm not sure if I will, I'm running out of money fast and I don't want to be a stick in the mud when I don't want to drink or eat anything. But for now it's quizno's time with Kelly. I'm not at all hungover, but I can pretend it to justify buying one..

prove it
So after a long talk (and a delicious dinner) with Ben at Cafe Boa last night I've decided to change a few things in my life.
I'm going to work out 3 times a week. It may be in the workout room here at San Brisas or out on the golf course. Because even if you're not golfing, just the walk itself is an exercise. And I'm getting my own golf club and balls so that I can not just stand, but hit a few small shots of my own when we go out. Woo hoo!
I'm also going to start finding places to go and just sit, or read, or something. I've found out by living with my sister that I need my own space a lot. That will be solved next year when I move out on my own, but for now I need to just learn to go out when I need to, and not always to the mall.
I'm going to look for another job. Despite how much I love Joyce at storables and how I love the job, it's wearing on me that I can make more money serving tables and that I put 50+ miles a day on my car. Plus, I think i want to go into management. I like having authority and I like giving direction. I know it sounds power hungry, but I'm dying where I am right now because I'm on the same level as college students and high school students. And I have a college degree. So I'm working on that.
I'm going to cut the negative people out of my life. (Josh, if you're reading this, this isn't aimed at you.) That bartender, he is not a good influence. And I know there are others out there that I have met up here that aren't quality people and that I don't want to start acting like.
I might sign up for match.com. It's damn hard to meet good guys when you're not in college. All the guys I meet are at bars and just want one thing and it's not a relationship. So if I can get a job and make more money and be able to pay for it, I might sign up. Kelly's on it, and she's talking to some pretty damn good looking guys. I mean, if Kelly's on it, and she's a good person, there has to be some other good people out there.
Oh, I might learn to cook. That would be a good hobby. And delicious!
Anyone want to go to Vegas soon? Like, for Halloween? I can dig out the bee costume!!

I ain't no hollaback girl
So I have today off and I'm not sure what to do with myself. Noshin and I are supposed to have dinner at 7, so that's good, but other than that I'm not sure. I'd go shopping, but I've been shopping a ton lately. And it's not even that I've spent that much money, but that I feel like I shouldn't and I can't honestly find anything I really need. That's probably a good thing though seeing how much I typically shop.
So I got a small promotion the other day at work and that was cool. I guess they created a position for me that is part merchandiser and part sales. So I'm the 'associate visual merchandiser.' Basically I think it means that if Joyce quits, I get her job, or if there is another opening for a visual merchandiser at another store they would ask me before hiring outside. Which is pretty rad, that's what I want to do. The staff and management is so cool at Storables. Except for a couple people, one who is too dumb to function normally and one who is too smart to function normally. Perhaps they should date.
I think i'll wash the inside of my car today. And hand wash some clothes that need hand washing. Oohhh! maybe I'll get my hair done. Ooohh!! and we're going to Tucson this weekend.
This was probably the most pointless post ever. I think it proves my boredom.

Smarter girls are just more attractive
I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song.
Honestly, I don't know how much more of dave's i can take. The people there are so whiny. and, like, i know i'm whiny, but they're worse than me. How can that be, right? i'm like the whiniest person ever. Anyways, hopefully i'll go salary at the store soon so i can finally quit and only work 40 hours a week, not 60. Ugh. I'm so frickin stressed. Tomorrow is urgent care time though because i'm still sick and i don't have normal insurance. That will change in a few months though, thank God. Thank God for storables, seriously. If it weren't for Joyce and Rand I think i'd go nuts. Although at times I know Rand drives me nuts because I don't understand him. But when the corporate visual merchandiser is in town and gives you a job, you do it, even if you don't know what you're doing.
I think i'm going back to tucson this weekend, and i'm really tempted to call timmy honn. weird, right? I was saying something the other day and the way i said it reminded me of him. I wonder if he has his life on track yet. Most likely....no.
Windy, little Brad, Noshin, and Drea and I went to some parties this past friday night. I Love Noshin to death, and little Brad, and Drea. Windy can be a bit much sometimes. She's seriously I think so much like me that I get annoyed. Which sucks, because she's a wicked cool girl. We went to University house (I guess they have one here) and party hopped. They went out again the next night, but I passed...I think I'm getting to old for college house parties. I get annoyed too easily.
Boo Urns. I think I'm in such a foul mood tonight, and I hate it. I hate snapping at people, and I hate not being friendly, and I hate all the negativity that comes with being in a bad mood. Boo on bad moods. I think I'll go to bed in an attempt to be happier tomorrow due to me getting more sleep.

free merv!
So after I went to bed Saturday night things started to not be quite so good...I crawled into bed and was woken up by a call from Jackie, letting me know that her and April were pulling the catering van onto the freeway but had to go so they could merge. I then fell asleep. I woke myself around 2 am by reaching out in my sleep and hitting my glass of water all over my bed. Which is weird enough in itself, but it gets weirder. As soon as I woke up I had 2 thoughts - #1. Shit, my bed is all wet. #2. Check your phone. Maybe I heard it go off in my sleep, but i had a voicemail from Jackie. Turns out that David (that cook. Yeah, THAT cook) and my manager sloan were in sloan's suburban and were in an accident. Both were in the hospital at that point...sloan was having trouble with her left side and they weren't releasing any info on david. So what a good thing to wake up at 2 am to find out, right? These co-workers, despite all the drama, are the closest thing to a family I have here. Sloan's the mom, Chad is the dad...ha ha, cute, huh? Anyways, so a couple days later, they're alright. Sloan has been at home resting, and David is coming back to work tomorrow.
Still on the work subject, there is a cook that is currently in jail. Apparently Marvin pulled a gun on someone and was arrested. Sad. I mean, whatever, he pulled a gun, but it's sweet Marvin. So we're planning on making t-shirts that say 'free merv'. Anyone know where we can make cheap t-shirts?
Kelly is coming to phoenix on friday to look for apartments with me and to have some job interviews. I'm also getting my hair done on saturday which is exciting. yay blond!
alright, i'm working both jobs tomorrow and looking to make t-shirts with jackie. I'm getting sleepy!

somewhere off of lexington
What a good weekend!!- Thursday night at Justin's...don't ask, but so much fun..Friday was nap day and then dessert with shelby and nintendo with ben. Then Saturday...KFMA day! I had never been to an outdoor concert before so I had no clue what to expect. Shayna and I drove separately because we wanted to leave after Jimmy Eat World. We started our journey at Walgreens and stuffed ourselves with gummi bears and reese's pieces. After driving halfway to el paso (or was it albequerque? Which is closer Shayna asks. It's okay, i forget New Mexico exists too.) we got to the grounds. After standing in line we got a pretty decent spot up front for the Format, who rocked out. They are soooo good live. They played only one new song I think, but it sounded great - can't wait for the new album. After the Format was done we found Josh and Chris and walked around for a bit. I spent a lot of time at the Famous Dave's booth because I'm not the hugest fan of unwritten law and taking back sunday. Apparently the lead singer of unwritten law was so drunk, all i remember was that every other word out of his mouth was 'fuck.' After Taking Back Sunday we hung out until Jimmy Eat World - Once they took stage, Josh forged us in to a decent spot in the middle of the crowd. Jimmy Eat World is so good in concert, they always are so impressive. At one point I looked back and saw Jake! from work crowd surfing. Now, Jake! isn't the smallest guy, so I went back to see what was up. I got back and they asked if i wanted to crowd surf, I told them no and they were like, 'Okay, that's cool.' Manny then asks to see my sunglasses (the only thing I was holding, I should have known) and next thing I know Jake!, Josh, David, and Manny were picking me up and I was crowd surfing. I won't forget the look on their faces, I think they were surprised, and I was too - it was actually a ton of fun. It didn't last too long but was totally worth it. Jimmy Eat World finished playing and we all met back at the Dave's tent. Sarah, Chris, Shayna and I walked back to the car and headed home, opting to miss Billy Idol and Sum 41. I bet they were really good, but we all decided that 4 bands was enough to see.
What a good weekend! Tomorrow is mother's day - apparently Dave's gets super busy. I'm going to bed so I don't pass out tomorrow like I already did tonight while watching Ocean's 12 with Shayna.

i got married!
you know when you go into a store and the sales girls say things and laugh. Well, they're laughing at you. At least Diana and I are when you come into Aldo. When I told people that I was going to work at Aldo the most common response I got was, "wow, the girls there are bitches." Let me clarify something. We are all such nice people. We all get along and we all are happy. However, our job is so boring that we have to make fun of the people that come in to the store. For example: Today a girl and her mother came in and looked around. I went in the back. Diana followed after they had left the store. She says, "did you think that girl was skanky? She totally had camel toe." A few minutes later they come back into the store. Diana comes to get me so I can see. Yeah, I leave the work I'm doing in the back so we can just make fun of this camel toe girl. We're those bitches. You might not want to come into Aldo.
Sloan at work is the coolest ever. David is not the coolest ever. Okay, so throwing things at me was cool at first, whatever, but when you're dumping salad dressing down my pants, that's gross. Then I get in trouble for being dirty. I think it really hit me tonight that while I used him, he not only used me, but assumed that I was dumb enough to keep thinking other things. And despite how dumb I say I am, I'm really not actually that stupid. Mandy and I are friends. We're going to remain friends. Hoes before Bros. Stupid David Mendez. Now I have to do laundry early because my pants have honey bbq on them.
excuse me mrs. busybody. could you pencil me in?
