Growing Pains

Today I got a real feel for what it is like to work in retail. Let me just say I am less than impressed. But I guess I just have to suck it up and move on.

Wish me luck, I need to get someone to sign up for a credit card and meet my goal tomorrow.

Not much new here, I am so tired. I can't figure out if it is because of my work schedule or because I am an hour off still.

I am so excited for this weekend, three whole days off to hang with my family!!!

Maybe after Biggest Loser I will go to bed...hhmmmmmmm, sounds so nice!

Hob-Knobbing

I think I met a lady from the IOC (International Olympic Committee). It was kind of cool. She told me that she was from Mexico. I am only mentioning this because I think I just saw her on TV.

Chicago has put a bid in for the 2016 Summer Olympics. I think it is very cool and I am very excited. I hope they get the bid. Wouldn't it be cool!? It seems fitting. They once hosted a World's Fair. I actually think the World's Fair would be cooler, but I would settle for the Olympics!!!

Can't make no vows to a herd of cows.

I just spent an evening with my cousin and a friend eating left-over Chinese food and watching this movie:

I've never seen it before. I am amazed. Plus I think a few of the brothers might be gay...so they didn't really need a "bride". But it was entertaining and fun to watch!

Sailing away

I can see a sail boat on Lake Michigan from my apartment! It's so cute! I love that spring is finally on it's way! Ok, I know they are talking cold and snow for later in the week, but right now it is lovely.

Last night my parents, my cousin and my dad's cousin all went out to dinner a great little Chinese place. It was really fun. My dad's cousins are very amusing. Especially Esther. She is from Singapore and she cracks me up! She calls everything "lovely" and calls everyone "love" and "sweetheart".

Here are some pictures of my apartment:





Now you all have proof that there is a place for you to stay when you come to visit me!

A New Bed

I have a new bed. My parents bought it for me from Ikea. It is cute. My apartment looks like a real place and is less depressing.

I am happy.

My parents are visiting for the weekend and I have real furniture!

I hope you all come to visit soon!

Observations

#1: My apartment is very quiet right now. In fact it's the first time it's been this quiet since I moved in. It's kind of weird.

#2: I am really tired of people calling the birth marks on my neck hickeys. I don't even think about them or notice them until some strange guy comes up to me and tries to hit on me saying things like "those hickeys are nice". Yuck, not a good pick up line boys.

#3: There is a little old man on my street walking his little white dog. It's very cute and makes me like my neighborhood a little more.

#4: I may not have Meijer's but I think Treasure Island maybe my new favorite store if I can just figure out which one is closest to me. I see people with the bags all the time!

We've got a live one going and we want him to stay that way.

I found Doogie Howser, M.D. on Hulu thanks to Moi. It makes me so happy. YOU should watch it. It will make you feel happy!



In other news, I now know how to fit people for a bra. That's right, I can help you pick out a bra. I even had three hours worth of training to prepare me!

Oh, and another happy thing, my DC roomie is expecting! I'm so excited for D & K!!!
