Nov 13, 2008 >> Cold is your silence, denying what is real... >> 1 Comments
I met Amber at five o'clock for dinner, and we went down to Trattoria's and enjoyed pasta and tiramisu. While eating, Amber and I discussed going on a diet together and attending the local Curves. I've been giving it some thought, and I think I'm going to do it. It's not just about looking good and being thin, I think my motivation this time is just being healthy. I figure if I can get my weight down to 180 lbs, I'll be just fine. According to the BMI, healthy weight for someone my height ranges from 155 to 177 lbs. However, since the BMI doesn't give leeway for people with broad skeletal structures, like me , I'm going to give myself a bit.
Hopefully I can stick to it. I'm going to have to be very strict with myself if I'm going to make it this time, seeing as how this is the third year in a row that I've tried to commit to something and if I slip once, I fall off the trolley entirely. I can't let that happen this time. So... I gave in and bought myself a domain. I'm hoping that I can get this site moved over within the week. Now I just need to get a layout going. I'm clueless as to what to do... ever since reading this article, I'm a bit wary of everything I've been making as of late.
I think a shower and sleep is in order. Yup yup.
Nov 10, 2008 >> Let's see how deep the bullet lies... >> 1 Comments
I ended up going in today to do some cleaning and merchandising. I didn't get as nearly as much done as I wanted to do, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess. I did manage to get the dump bins filled as much as I possibly could. I got one of the acryillic rounds back up, and I'm hoping to get the second done tomorrow. I wasn't able to get the misters and neons done, but that's another thing I'm hoping to get done tomorrow as well. So much to do... it's such a headache. Luckily, Sean got all of the boxes stickered for FedEX, so the driver can just take what he needs to take, and we'll have some room. Work is so lame. I hope Christin doesn't end up coming down... the store is such a mess. 
It wasn't a total waste though. David gave me some money for lunch, and on the way home from work I ended up going to Subway and getting myself a very lovely meatball sub. It was delicious, and made me feel so much better. I also had a nice nap and watched CSI: Crime Scene Invesitgation on Spike, which cheered me up as well. I need to start taking cat naps more often.
I did manage to get some updates down on this site. Not much, but something at least. I updated links, a couple pages in the Misstress sections, as well as the Site section. I also added a couple pages in both those sections as well. I'm hoping to sit down and get some work done on my visitor's section this week when I get some time off. New layout maybe too.
The new cover for the next Gardella book has been released. 
I am so happy! I can't wait to find out what happens. When Twilight Burns left me hanging so bad... I need to know what happens. I was very upset when Victoria let Sebastian go... those two were so good together. I hope they get back together, because obviously Max has his head up his ass. If he could get over himself for a whole ten seconds, he would see that he loves her. I love his character, and I understand that he's conflicted, but geez... get over it. LOL. I also can't wait to see what happens with Lillith. Lillith is interesting, and I wish I knew more about her. I really hope this isn't the last book... that would make me so sad. It's written on the website that it's the last one... maybe she moves onto a different character? Amber wants to borrow the books from me after she finishes reading what she's reading now. Then we're going to read Twilight together. Yes, I still haven't read it yet. I wasn't even going to buy it because I have that lingering loyalty to Harry Potter, but it taunted me in the book store and I just had to get it. It's been sitting on my shelf since, winking at me. I promised Amber that we'd read it together, and then we're going to see the movie and pow wow on the differences between the two. Because that's just what we do. LOL.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow morning.
But... if I survive tomorrow... two more days off to relax and do nothing. I'm planning to use them to shop, clean and get my affairs in order. I've been neglecting both my duties and the head of my house, and as David's girlfriend. He's going to try to get Wednesday off, so we can spend the day together. It feels like a millenia since the last time we did that. I've also been thinking about getting another piercing. Maybe... maybe not. If I were to get another one, I'd get a bridge or a monroe done. Balance out my midline a bit. I've been giving serious thought to taking out my eyebrow rings again, but I haven't decided. I was so self-concious of the scars the last time I did that, so I figure I'll just leave them in. 
Nov 08, 2008 >> I don't go to sleep to dream... >> 2 Comments
I don't know what it is about today, but work just seemed to drag on and on and on. Around four o'clock, I just couldn't handle packing boxes anymore. I have cardboard cuts all over my hands, I've ripped almost all of my finger nails off except for two, and it took most of my white tea soap to get all the grit off my skin. I am so done with this whole pack up bullshit. Thank good ness we're almost done. We're only two days behind schedule now, but I figure that we'll be back on track and ready by Sunday's end. I'm hoping that Sean and James managed to get all the pack up done. My heart will seriously bleed if they didn't. If all the Christmas merchandise is priced, I can just merchandise the walls, get displays up, and be ready to unpack new stock as soon as it comes in. I've got my fingers crossed. The entire Melissa dram is over and done with. I fired her, and that's just the end of it. As it turns out, when I left work the other day, she cranked up the stereo all the way, and when both other stores in the mall and customers complained, security came in and asked her to turn it down. She responded by telling them to "lick her ass." I just... couldn't believe it when they told me. I had to go around and profusely apologize to other stores in the mall, as well as the security guards... I couldn't believe it.
In her place, I hired a new girl, Amber. Amber and I were friends in high school, and we've stayed in touch since then, so it seemed a logical choice. If Christin gets mad at me for hiring a friend, I'll just tell her to look at the other resumes in my files. Amber has previous experience in retail and with cash. I refuse to high any more bum drug addicts. I got lucky my other employees. As it is, I've lost one of my days off. I have to go in on Sunday, FedEX sticker everything, re-do the storage room, merchandise everything... should be fun. Thankfully, it's been very dead in terms of customers, so I shouldn't have too much problems getting all of my work done.
Other than that, Life is good.
Tomorrow shall be spent cleaning and listening to Carnifex. Hopefully I'll get some work done on this site as well (I most likely will), and get some other computer stuff done that I've been meaning to do. So much to do, so little time. Nov 06, 2008 >> Winter Woes... >> 1 Comments
Of course, everything melted within a couple of hours, but it was still really cold out. I'm hoping we don't get anything major falling until after Tuesday, because I really need to get gloves, a hat and a scarf. A new pair of boots wouldn't be too bad either. I can't be wearing my pirate sneakers all winter, now can I? LOL. If you haven't noticed already, I am back from my hiatus. New layout, new blogging platform... I'm still tweaking here and there. I will be updating more and adding new content later on. I've also joined a new forum which you should check out... the Hello MB. We need more members over there, so check it out and hopefully join.
Justin and Jesse are really awesome. Work has been so hectic. We're already behind schedule on our Christmas set-up, and my brain is just... wanting to quit so bad. Melissa is being just such a useless tit, and her poor attitude is getting to me. Luckily she isn't working tomorrow, so I don't have to deal with her crap. I'm going to go in early tomorrow and start unpacking the Christmas stock so we can use those boxes to pack up what's left of Hallowe'en. I'm so happy that our FedEx guy is a saint, and is delaying the rest of our shipment until we get back on track. He's so wonderful. For sure he's going to get an awesome Christmas card from me.
I can't wait until Tuesday. I'm going to be getting my new Xbox 360, and it's going to be an Elite. I have it on hold at the Source, and I'm so excited, my palms itch just thinking about it.
I'm going to go to bed now, though. Sleep is a precious and rare thing for me.
