A Much Needed Break

After Mom told me that Sadie passed,

I cried, as expected.

I tried to find comfort in people via Facebook

and phone conversations

and texting.

I tried to hide myself in my reading,

and studying,

and work.

Studying for finals was not easy.

My group of study buddies for midterms weren't around;

one is in a sorority so she's no longer available,

another dropped out of school for the semester...

basically I was on my own.

Which is fine.

That's how it's supposed to be, right?

Gotta grow up sometime.

My co-workers were spreading rumors

that I was going to be fired

shortly after Black Friday.

This was also stressing me out.

All these things bundled into one,

made me feel like my life was out of control.

Which is exactly why I decided to jump in my car

and drive to Arizona.

Just because I can.

I wasn't going to tell anyone that I was coming,

but then I decided to tell my parents.

Just because I felt that was the grown-up thing to do.

It took some convincing on my part

to have them be okay with me driving alone.

Which, I am grateful that they worry,

because I know that they care.

But sometimes, it makes me feel like a little kid

when I can't do anything if my parents tell me no.

Eventually,

I'm going to have to start making my own decisions,

by myself,

with no help from others.

I don't know why really,

but my short trip home

was exactly what I needed.

I drove there by myself

for the first time ever.

I stopped at the regular places,

and did pretty darn good I think!

However,

my GPS did take me through Phoenix

and would not let me get on the freeway.

Silly me,

but that's okay.

I showed up at the Divin's household

at about 11 in the morning.

Jenny answered the door

and I was so happy that I got to surprise her.

While I was there,

I ate lunch with my mom,

went shopping with my grandma,

got to talk with Mandy a little,

hung out with Jenny, Reilley and Stewart,

went to Andie's new place,

saw Sadie,

had lunch with the family,

and that was about it.

But I came home feeling much better.

I don't really know why,

it just made me feel like my batteries were recharged :)

On a different topic,

Fall semester is over.

I'm doing a cooking day with Gma

tomorrow.

I have a spree planned with my co-worker Brittany

on Saturday.

I think my parents are coming

on Tuesday.

Co-worker Judy and I are getting our nails done

on Wednesday.

Bubble Butt and my grandparents fly into town

on Thursday.

My roommate is moving out

on Friday.

Christmas is

Saturday.

I like being busy with fun activities :)

My co-worker Nia wants to move in with me.

Another co-worker Cassandra has also mentioned it,

but doesn't seem serious about it.

My cousin has an interview in January

for a place that's right down the street from my house,

so she's also a possible roommate in the future..

I'll definitely have to think about it seriously

and decide if it's a good idea to even have a roommate.

It's nice to think that people want to move in,

if nothing else :P

I have the feeling that this is going to be an amazing winter break ♥

Best Dog Ever

I got a call from my mom this morning

and she told me some very sad news.

Sadie is sick...

...and she was put to sleep today.

I can't believe I'll never get to see her again.

When she was younger,

She would sleep on our pillows,

wake us up for school every morning,

chase me around, nipping at my heals,

pull us on our rollerblades

play hide and seek...

She'd always lay with me when I'd cry,

get so excited when I would get home from school,

or when we'd take her for a walk,

whine when I wouldn't share my snacks,

follow the family around the house

(especially when food was involved)

Even when I went home last time,

she couldn't get up to greet me,

but still she wagged her tale,

and seemed so happy to see me.

I don't want to say goodbye.

♥ RIP Sadie ♥
I love you, always and forever.

My Foster Babies

Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue: I hope to grow up and become as magnificent as my ...: "Kiki Precious Update: Kiki was adopted on November 3rd! At the time of rescue Precious was lumbering around in a park, large from being ..."

Every once in a while I have been checking to see if my babies have been adopted. I never saw anything of them, so I assumed that they were in forever homes and happy.

It looks like "Kiki" (the one I called Belly) was just adopted yesterday and the rest of the kittens were adopted as well. Precious is still looking for a loving home, and it breaks my heart that I can't take her. She really was such a wonderful kitty :( She's so beautiful, I'm shocked nobody has picked her.

In their blog, they talk about how Kiki loved snuggling with her mom. It makes me so sad to think that she didn't have her siblings to cuddle with. Her and Sparky were close and I wish they could have stayed together... At least they are in loving homes though and I guess that's really all that I could ever ask for.

I miss my little ones so much ♥

I caught Zeus starring at the cabinets where the kittens used to hide. I swear he was waiting for them to come out...

It's Been A While

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog.

I have ideas to write,

but when I sit to focus on them

they just don't seem interesting enough.

I am sitting at the McCaren Airport right now,

waiting for my flight to Phoenix.

I'm SO excited to go home for a bit.

Work gave me off Tuesday through next Friday,

which was nice

I guess.

It makes me wish I could stay longer.

As I sit here,

I keep thinking about random things.

I have a new roommate,

which so far is a lot of fun.

We wear the same size shoes

and she's a sweetie,

so she's been letting me play dress-up.

I didn't have a purse that would fit things for this trip,

so she also lent me her bright purple name-brand purse.

Totally me, right?!

We went shopping a couple of times already.

I showed her some lashes at Sally's,

She showed me some awesome makeup at MAC that I have to save for

and I bought a facemask and some haircare product that she uses at Ulta.

I also showed her the kind of things you can get at T J Maxx :)

She's the kind of girl that loves name-brand items,

so we had some fun in there.

We also went to Ross, but were a bit disapointed.

Zuzu watches TV with us :)

I'm SO lucky I have a roommate

that loves my cats almost as much as I do!

Speaking of Ross,

my brother wants to go with me while I'm there.

I think it's cute.

After he found the awesome deal on jeans at Marshalls,

he has been as dedicated to thrift shopping as I am.

I'm trying to look into getting into cosmetology.

I don't want to do it for a career,

but I would love to get certified while I'm in school.

It could be an extra income?

And I could definitely use it when I have kids.

I love having a roommate that is into hair and makeup and clothes and shoes.

It helps me get more involved too.

I loooove being girly,

it makes me feel good :)

On a more negative note,

I have caught one of my new Vegas friends

lying to me on several occations.

It's dissapointing,

and makes me sad.

I think we could be really good friends,

but if I can't trust her,

that's just not going to happen :(

People watching in Vegas

is one of the most interesting things to do.

:)

Erica and I went and got keys made for the condo.

She got a super cute one.

So I just had to get one too...

My super-awesome key :)

The past week and a half has been

Coffee, coffee, coffee!

Thank goodness for my 10% discount.

Thank goodness for Costco's baked potatoes

&pizza pockets

&gatorade

that keep me away from fast food in a pinch.

Thank goodness for newfound study buddies/friends

that help keep my stress levels down.

Thank goodness for co-workers

that keep me laughing all day long.

Crazy hecktic life recently,

but I'm loving every moment of it

(now if only I could skip past the midterms...)

♥

Different

So I finally took the plunge.

Everyone kept telling me it would be damaging

and that I should go to a professional.

However,

the past few times that I have gone,

things didn't turn out how I wanted.

After talking to Jenny multiple times,

she re-assured me that I could do it myself.

I actually wasn't planning on doing it.

I was at work, and it was sitting on the shelf

staring at me!

Clearance: $3

It's made specifically for people with dark hair,

and promised to work even on black hair.

Soooo, I gave it a shot.

The instructions were helpful,

and I'm glad I started with this.

Although,

I accidently got some on my bangs.

After a couple days,

I got some QuickBlue bleach

and reapplied.

The next day,

I bought some more QuickBlue

(this time in the big container

so that I could keep it up.)

And reapplied again.

It's almost how I want it.

Although,

I must admit it's not easy.

And I do wish I had someone here to help.

The roots are the hardest part for me.

But, that's why I only did the underneath

so you can't really tell :)

It is a very long, drawn out process,

but it lifts my spirits while doing homework.

And weirdly makes me feel like a grown up

(Look Jenny! I'm doing it by myself! Ha.)

The lady at Sally's told me to put a bag on my head.

She said it keeps the bleach from drying,

so it won't take as many applications.

(Haha yes, I know I'm a dork.)

I just thought this looked cool :P

As you can tell,

the bangs are still at the "orange" stage.

But overall,

I'm happy with the result

:)

Busy, busy, busy...

I had forgotten how difficult it is

to go to school and work.

At Extended Stay,

I almost always had time to study

and do homework.

I don't have that luxury at Target.

I hate living off of savings,

but I am debating on "focusing" on school next semester.

I want to join a sorority,

so maybe I won't work...

It's doubtful,

but it is a thought.

RCA

Redcliff Ascent

Three years since I first met you.

Since I first hated you.

Since I first loved you.

They're planning to do a reunion

summer 2011.

Hopefully,

it won't be during Eurotrip.

If it is,

I'm not so sure which I would pick...

I still haven't written anything more on my Redcliff post.

The only thing that saddens me about that,

is I'm slowly forgetting everything.

Ups and Downs

Everybody has their days of ups and downs.

Recently,

I've felt like I'm on a roller coaster.

I haven't been able to feel my knees recently,
and it's really starting to worry me.

This month,

I have spent WAY too much money.

The interview for the Venetian,

didn't go as planned.

Last week, my AC broke;

My house has been 88-104 degrees :(

Friday I had to reschedule the appointment

due to work.

Sunday I went in late to work

so that they could come.

They never showed up.

Last night,

they showed up late

and then told me they needed to order the part.

Hopefully,

they'll call soon with the necessary part

and we will be able to schedule an appointment.

Yesterday,

I failed a test I thought I was going to ace.

My mind just went blank...

Tomorrow will be three years since I went to RCA.

This time last year,

I had just lost my best friend.

So far,

I haven't made any friends in Vegas.

On the other hand,

I have a gorgeous campus to study at:

My family is coming to visit

(for my Aunt Susie's wedding.)

I have visibly lost weight

(although I've not been following my diet the past couple days :C)

I have a lot of fun with my co-workers.

My classes are interesting

(even if they are hard as heck.)

I'm still aiming for straight A's

(so far all A's and B's)

Like I said,

Everyone has their ups and downs.

Hopefully,

more ups than downs :)

Online Shopping

So there's this new site that I discovered,

that I think is pretty darn cool.

It's called Ebates.

Personally,

I LOVE online shopping.

Ebates takes that and makes it even better;

each site you click on through Ebates

has a different percentage of cash back.

Pretty much ANY store that has online shopping,

you can go through Ebates.

Ebay

Southwest Airlines

Baby's R Us

JC Penny

Barnes N Noble

Walmart

I'm not kidding.

There hasn't been a store I've tried yet,

that hasn't been on Ebates.

Now, don't get me wrong,

the percentage is usually 1-5% back

(although it does go all the way up to 26%)

but that's more than what you would get otherwise,

right?

Personally,

I won't buy something online if I don't get free shipping

(or very close to - lower than gas cost)

Also, if you have any coupons

or gift cards,

or promotion codes

or anything else,

they still work just as if you didn't use Ebates.

Here's the thing.

For every referral I get $5

and the person referred, also gets $5.

So do you and me a favor,

if you're going to shop online

do it through this link:

http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=ONncc8eWAjjtJHnbgiFnsA%3D%3D

Just sign up

(USING THIS LINK - otherwise, no $5)

and after your first purchase,

you and I both will get $5

:)

Just Try It

As I mentioned in my last post,
I started the Special K diet.
Before that,
I was also making myself try new things
(and even try old things again)
just because I am getting older
and my taste-buds are changing.

I like salads,
but ever since I was little I haven't liked lettuce anywhere else.
So, I tried to stop ordering things "without lettuce"
but that is one thing that I truly don't like.
I don't know why,
maybe it makes things taste watered down?
Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Then there are things like strawberries.
I have never liked the texture of a strawberry,
there are too many seeds... gross.
However,
I have recently started to enjoy
strawberry lemonade
strawberry (virgin) daquriis
and strawberry juices.

I've always been a ranch lover.
But, I decided it was time to try something new
something healthier on my salads
(although fat-free ranch is still
one of the healthiest dressings sodium wise.)
I like zesty italian
and some caesar dressings.
Next on the list is to try oil and vinegar,
as I have heard that's the healthiest.
However,
the stuff at the store,
is very unhealthy.
So that's still a to-do,
since I would rather have ranch
than oil and vinegar.

I tried Jessi's jallepeno wrap things,
which have three things that I don't like:
jallepenos (side note: ON A STEEEK!)
cream cheese,
and bacon.
They didn't taste bad,
but it's not something I would go out of my way to try.
However,
I'm glad I tried them (twice)
because now I am sure
that I really don't like those things
and I'm not just trying to be different from everyone :P

When I work with Seazun,
I usually let her pick my Starbucks drink
and what I'm going to eat
(if I eat something from Food Ave)
and she has had me try some nasty stuff,
(like one of the carmel drinks with SALT in it... EW!)
but some things are good.
It's gotten me away from drinking the same thing all the time.
Last time, she had me order cheese fries
with a side of jallepenos.
That was what got me to realize
WHY
everyone seems to like those things:
Cheese and fries are pretty bland alone,
but when you add a little kick
(such as a jallepeno)
they taste pretty darn good.
Although,
my mouth was on fire afterwards.
Again,
not my favorite thing to eat,
but definately a good try.

A while back,
my mom accidently ordered banana peppers on my Subway sandwich.
Since I was trying new things,
I didn't peal them off like I normally do.
Instead, I tried it and now,
guess what?
I get them every time I go to Subway.

One thing that I realized in trying new things,
I really enjoy eating healthy stuff.
Cantelope and watermelon are my favorite snacks.
Spinach and mushroom pizza is delisious.
Water tastes SO much better
when soda has been cut out of your diet.
Salad can be AMAZING with the right additions
(ie Steak, onions, tomatoes...)

Also, on a side note,
the healthier I eat,
the less I like unhealthy things.
The vanilla in the Special K cereal has become super sweet
and the chocolate is sometimes too much.
I only had ONE cupcake at Susie's trial,
and even that felt like a lot.
I don't eat ice cream as much
(although it is still my favorite dessert.)

This post has gotten a bit off track,
as it was supposed to be about trying new things
and it's kind of turned into eating healthier.
But as my title suggests,
I am only encouraging you to do what I have started to do:
just try it.
I am so happy that I did.
♥

Special K

So I have never been good at making meal plans,

and when I do I never stick to them.

When I saw a commercial for the Special K diet,

they mentioned that there are meal plans to print off.

I thought I'd take a peak at it,

maybe I could stick to a meal plan someone else made.

And the "lose a jean size in two weeks"

was a convincing argument as well :)

I picked the "on-the-go" choice

since I typically find myself grabbing fast food

instead of cooking at home.

They have a lot of choices!

Basically,

there are three meals and two snack choices.

You can either follow the meal plan exactly,

or substitute the other items in the category.

For example,

for a snack I can have different kinds of crackers,

or the snack bars which come in several flavors.

Breakfast can be cereal or a protein shake.

Lunch can be the same as breakfast, or a meal bar.

Then dinner is an actual meal

(the site said you can make your actual meal any of the day really)

which some of the examples they list are

Steak Salad

Roast beef open-face sandwich

and Lemon Salmon

:)

Drink wise,

I can have whatever I want,

although they suggest staying away from soda.

Fruit and veggies are also allowed

throughout the day whenever I want them :}

I never thought I would like Special K products,

but so far some of it is really good,

and others aren't bad.

So far, so good :]

End of the Chapter

It started with Precious:

Then came SweetPea:

And then Belly:

Followed by Sparky or Rebel:

(couldn't tell the difference until they're eyes changed)

In between them was Prince Charming:

And last, but certainly not least,

Mixberry fell out and scared me to death:

♥

SweetPea's name says it all,

and she obtained that name

by being the Sweetie that she is.

Belly loves to have her tummy rubbed.

Every time I scratch her back,

she rolls over for her belly to be rubbed.

Recently,

I found out that her mommy does the same :)

Sparky and Rebel

I couldn't tell apart until recently.

When I got home from AZ,

the kitten's eye colors had changed.

One of the orange cats eyes creeped me out.

They looked like demon eyes!

I thought about naming him Little Devil or something,

but then I thought of a name for the other orange kitten.

He is scared of everything,

but has a lot of spunk.

I thought about "Spunky"

but that was just too blah.

Instead, I thought Sparky would be a good fit.

Rebel fell into place shortly after,

since Sparky is ASU and Rebel is UNLV.

Prince Charming

is everyone in AZ's favorite kitty

(with the exception of my mom and I)

and he really is a prince,

so the name just kind of fell into place.

Jenny thought about Blueberry,

and then after a few minutes,

Stewart jokingly suggested Mixberry.

Jen loved the idea,

and so it stuck.

Although Steward still calls her

"Dingleberry"

every once in a while.

I am so happy I got to do this fostering thing,

and I'm kind of sad that it's going to be over soon.

However,

I am ready to have my house back.

I am ready to not feel guilty about

neglecting my babies.

Plus,

now that they're eating solid food,

I went through a big bad in less than two weeks!

So financially,

I'm happy for this to be over.

I am going to miss them though

♥

Doodling

This is what happens

when I am locked in a room

for four hours.

Jealous?

This is where I study :)

It's the Little Things

It's the Caesar's Palace key keychain.

It's the views from an airplane.

It's the random text messages.

It's the excitement they have.

It's the things remembered.

It's the tone of their voice.

It's the forgiveness given.

It's the conversations had.

It's the fact that they care.

It's the memories shared.

It's the questions asked.

It's the help they give.

It's the interest shown.

It's the pictures taken.

It's the offer to pay.

The little things in life

make the biggest differences.

Fall Semester Goals

I've made some goals for myself this semester,

I think they all should be pretty reasonable to keep:

• Get into shape (aka UNLV Gym 3x per week)
• Have at least $6500 in savings by Dec. 15th
• Get straight A's
• Hang out with 2 co-workers outside of work
• Hang out with 2 classmates outside of school
• Draw, frame, and hang 4 drawings
• Learn to cook 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 2 dinners, and 5 desserts
• Blog at least once a week

So far, I'm not doing well on going to the gym.

I haven't gone once.

But I still have enough days this week

to get my goal done :)

I will! get into shape.

(Have you ever put on your "fat jeans" and they fit?

Not a fun thing to do.)

Where I got the amount of $6500

and the date of December 15th

I have no idea.

They both just sort of popped into my head.

I am saving for Eurotrip next summer though,

I'll post more abut that later :)

I failed miserably at my goal of straight A's last semester.

So here we go again...

This time, I will do it!

(I have to have a minimum 2.5

for academic probation

as well as to join a sorority next semester.)

Being new to Vegas,

I don't know people my age.

So, school and work just seem like a good place

to meet some people

and make some friends :)

I hate how little I draw these days,

so I made a goal to do so.

I'm trying very hard

to draw something of quality.

Someday,

I hope to sell something that I draw :)

Learning to cook.

I don't hate cooking,

but I don't really enjoy it either.

However,

I eat out a lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot.

It'd be nice to have a meal or two

that I can show off when people visit :)

I haven't been blogging as often as I'd like.

I have lots of homework this semester.

I have a job.

Thus, a goal for once a week.

♥

The Heart Grows Stronger Through Pain

I've had a really weird sleep pattern recently

it's caused my brain to go crazy!

For example,

last night I couldn't sleep until after 5am

which lead me to listen to music

When you feel all alone

and the world has turned its back on you

give me a moment please

to tame your wild, wild heart.

which inspired me to draw a picture

but of course,

I didn't finish it.

Probably never will :P

Instead,

I started looking at my school stuff.

Classes start on Monday

and I have assignments due

before class.

Holy crap!

Scary!

I'm just taking a break from school work now.

I read Mandy's blog entry "Hey Cupcake"

and as always, it made me smile :)

I won't lie,

I check blog at least once a day

just to see if someone has published something.

The blogs I read aren't "professional"

but I love them.

Just being able to read

about my friends and family's every day life

is amazing.

Which brings me to a random thought I have had,

I have nine followers

I know four of them.

I just don't get it,

I mean,

I understand following an interesting blog

about photography, cooking, hair, makeup, whatevs...

but a blog about a random 20 year old's life?

It just seems so odd to me.

Why?

On a sadder note,

my great grandpa passed away yesterday at 2pm.

He would have been 99 years old in November I believe.

Brother 1986, Dad 1961, Gpa 1936, Gramps 1911

If the math is too hard for you,

that's 25 years apart each :)

♥ Rest in Peace, Gramps ♥

Day #1

Friday was my orientation day at Target.

Today was my first (and only) day of training

on the cashier stations.

I loved it!

I was so embarrassed though -

about an hour into the training,

I got sick.

I spent the next hour of training in the bathroom;

my trainer kept telling me it was okay to go home,

but I don't think I've ever felt so bad in my life.

I haven't been stay-home-from-work sick in over a year,

and so of course,

on my first day...

After I drank some water,

I was fine.

I think I was just dehydrated.

(I drank a lot of water yesterday,

so I think my body was shocked.)

I missed majority of the training,

but the funny part is,

I was the only training-cashier today

to get 100%

on all of my guest sales

:)

I wish I could do cashiering every day,

I absolutly love it!

I kept glancing over at the cafe,

and I think they got

one customer per every ten that I did.

:(

I know I'll be good at my job in the cafe though,

so I'm happy.

My co-workers are so, so nice

I couldn't have gotten a job in a better enviroment :)

(Even though I am one of the oldest workers...)

Congrats Target,

you have my approval

:)

Confidence

Extrovert at heart, introvert by nature.

I'm trying so hard,

to stop being so shy all the time.

So today,

I did something new:

I went to Applebees

by myself!

I'm so proud :D

At first,

I was really nervous.

The host/greeter guy seemed to be embarrassed for me.

The waitress asked if I wanted a drink

and if I'd prefer to sit at the bar.

When I told her I wasn't 21,

she giggled nervously.

I did however,

order a Strawberry Daiquiri (virgin)

which btw was delicious,

not to mention a real treat.

I had a Caesar salad to start off,

but it was drowned in dressing

and pretty soggy,

so I only ate the croutons

and crunchier lettuce pieces.

I ordered this for the entree:

Garlic mashed potatoes,

steak smothered in cheese,

red and green peppers,

mushrooms...

YUM!

To top things off,

I couldn't walk away without

my favorite dessert :)

While I was eating, I wrote a little bit,

read a little more,

and had the chance to do one of my favorite activities:

people watching.

All in all,

it was a pretty pleasant experience.

I don't think it will ever be my first choice,

but it was definitely a lot less scary than I thought it would be.

On a different topic,

I got a job at Target!

It isn't my first choice

to work the food counter,

but a job is a job.

I also wasn't too pleased,

that I'm not making as much as I was,

but again,

a job is a job.

And a job is better than none.

I had two interviews,

and the second lady,

was the one that would be my immediate boss.

She said she'll probably cross train me,

which I told her would be perfect.

I don't think working at the food counter will be bad,

I've worked food before.

I just don't want to do it every day,

so cross training will be nice :)

I gotta put in my dues though, right???

[[I can't wait for August 17th!]]

Kittens

All the kittens' eyes are open :)

They're SO CUTE!

The orange one looking at the camera

follows me when I let them out of their box.

It's so cute!

This one is Jenny's

it responds when I say hi

and is the only one

that can stand on all fours right now.

I thought this was cute,

even though it's blurry.

I took my laptop out

so I could take pictures,

but they kept crawling toward it.

Precious has become an obstacle course

when I'm in the kitchen.

And she took a shower with me today.

I'm falling in love with her,

so I'm kind of glad that my babies

don't get along with her.

It makes it easier to not keep her.

I'm so glad I get to foster these kitties,

and I'm also glad

that it's not my responsibility

to find them homes.

I think I've found a couple,

which is good.

But I don't know what I'd do,

if I couldn't find a home.

I think that would be the most heartbreaking thing for me.
