This week has ROCKED.
Work has been AWESOME. It makes me so happy. If I'm having a bad day and go to work, I leave revitalized. When 2010 comes, I'm hoping they'll offer to hire me full time. Crossing my fingers. Oh. And they sent a box of 24 products FREE to my HOUSE. Bathtime is necessary these days, just so I can use the new stuff.
Lots of time with friends. Kylie's wedding - the ultimate in awesome wedding. So many things I want to steal idea-wise from her. Wow.
Lots of family time. Games, silliness, and my Uncle spinning me so much I almost vomited.
Lots of boyfriend time - a rarity. I'll spare you the cheesy details, but he's the greatest.
And now, the next couple weeks are pretty low-key and boring. I'll have to get my next Real Simple issue this week (!!) and start making our Christmas cards. Also, I will hopefully chisel out some time to write.
Lately, I've had a huge itch to get out and have my own apartment. Like...ASAP. I need a real job first, though. Or at least something that isn't seasonal. Goal: move out by the end of May. That way I was only a loser that lived with her Mom when she graduated for a year. It's been fun, Mom, but I need to grow up.
I was kind of happy it got colder today. I feel as if the Christmas music can REALLY happen, now that I need a jacket again.

sit down. stand up.
Riddle me this: Why does our central vac system smell like weed? I'm not joking.
This weekend my cousin got hitched. Crazy and all kinds of wonderful. Love my Steve(n) Lynn. And, of course, my new cousin Amber Dawn!
Great news: My car isn't totalled! Not that you all even knew that it was a possibility, but my car got backed into and we were all holding our breath. Because, you know, a part time mall job doesn't really let you buy a new car anytime soon. One less worry.
This week = lots of cleaning, baking, family, work, and a (another) wedding.
It's about time to start my craft project of creating our annual family Holiday Cards. Should be interesting.
Right now, all I want to do is take a nap. But the insomniac inside me begs me not to.
...is it Wednesday yet?

out there, somwhere
I'm sorry, but are they trying to steal all my money?
This is a perfect ploy for stay at home moms and unemployed college graduates to get psyched about crafting and spend all their money...which they don't even really have much of.
A BLOG about AMAZING CRAFTS?!
Oh. My. Lanta.
Also, the song of the day (becauase apparently I'm doing that today):
"Sky" by Joshua Radin, featuring Ingrid Michaelson
I'm ob-freaking-sessed. I had heard it before, but bought it on iTunes today. In love with it times a million.
...and don't think that just because I've blogged two days in a row that means that I have no life. Well, maybe a little.

that's how i feel about you
Excuse me.
Was this made for me or what?!
Not like I need more Cinderella things that are too precious to use, but what a GREAT idea.
Already, twitter has provided me with happiness. Like finding those cards, learning about roads not to take in KC due to traffic/accidents, getting discounts on things, and discovering things about my friends.
I could get used to it.
In other news: another weekend in KC. Third or fourth since August? You can tell I like to stay in one place...ha.
P.S. Don't lose weight because then you have to buy new jeans and when you go to the mall you discover you are in between sizes everywhere and you're either going to sag like a boy or have a muffin top and look skanky.
The choice is yours.

i've already tasted
Earlier, I had an emo post. Apologies if you read it.
Let me update.
I just found the PERFECT COAT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
Except...it doesn't have a hood. Is it worth it? Everything is awesome and everything I ever wanted...sans hood.
It's on sale. I want it. Along with everything else in the store.
It made my day. My mom and sister made fun of me the rest of the night. It's basically the coat from the end of Love Actually that I've been in love with since the first time I saw the movie. Oh, goodness. I'm so excited.
But...the hood factor. I need to think on it. And fast, since it's 30% off. They also have another fun hooded coat that is shorter without belt thing that's super fun and it's 30% off. OH HEAVENS.
I'd show you the picture online, but it is way cuter in person. The picture doesn't do it justice at all.
El fin.

paint a portrait of my mystery
I need to stop working places where I want to buy everything.
Texas Roadhouse was my fave restaurant.
AE was my fave store.
LUSH...I want to buy everything for everyone. New obsession.
Work is great. We have little quizzes to do every night, so I pretend like I am in school. And it's fun stuff to learn.
I love getting packages in the mail.
Or just any mail.
I got to open the door in my Santa Monkey Pants today to the mail man. He probably thinks I never leave the house.
Good news: I got my second shot in a series of three today. And I did NOT faint or anything. 'Twas grand.
My need for a new phone increases each day.
My face smells like chocolate...because I just did a LUSH face mask and it's made with cocoa powder. And I got it FREE because employees get the stuff that's about to expire. Sweet deal.
OhmygoshIwishitweretwentysixhoursfromnowalready.
Have such a lovely day and remember: whatever you're stressed about now, won't probably be relevant a year from now.
P.S. Another job interview tomorrow? Okay.

Hap-happiest Season
My newest obsession is string cheese. I have never liked it until the last couple of years. The last two months I have been in love with it. Anytime I want a snack, it's string cheese. The other day I ate three. It's just...so good. Plus, cheese is basically my favorite food, so there's always that, but really? I just love it.
Oh, and I decided to get myself a "Holy crap you actually got a job and I am so proud of you!" present. It's a new bra. And it's adorable.
I'm excited for the winter months to approach because that means scarves all the time, spiked hot chocolate, and the Plaza lights. I love the Plaza in the wintertime. It may be freezing and miserable while you're there, but you get to see all the cute children bundled up, the sickeningly cute couples holding hands and being all in love, and the precious oldies dressed to the nines.
Oh, and CHRISTMAS MUSIC.
I have a confession for Megan: I am tempted to start listening to it before Thanksgiving. For everyone else: this is a HUGE deal. I'm a stickler for NO Christmas music until after we have turkey and pie. For some reason, I'm just stoked about the holidays this year. Even though I'll be working retail and stressed out of my mind.
I'm about to buy these sparkley tights from Aerie just so I can wear them to work and be festive.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year."
Oh, yes it is. It definitely will be.
...and just because I always have to inform you about this: it's almost November, which means Halloween tomorrow, my sister's birthday next week, another month (11), Steve's wedding, Thanksgiving, then...almost time to watch ELF.
Life is good.
