Well, tonight I experienced one of the better sides of working retail--preparing for a big sale. I stayed almost a whole hour after I was supposed to get off to prepare for a huge sale that starts tomorrow (Attention Lane Bryant shoppers--20% off the whole store!!) It was ridiculous the amounts of signs I had to put out--banners, easels, small ones, big ones, some down low, some on the ceiling. Ugh!!
I just got home and am about to go to bed. I went to a friends house this evening after work and just chilled out--something I really needed. Another of our friends came over and we stayed up watching old sitcoms--Who's the Boss, Roseanne (Karin's favorite), and The Nanny (my favorite!!). Now I am just dreaming of going to bed. Yeah!!

A little hurricane humor
My aunt and uncle live down in Vero Beach, Florida and had to endure through the hurricanes and storms in the area. My uncle is a very humorous man and sent me this little top ten list:
Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas
10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows).
9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season (camping gear, flashlights).
8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores.
7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials".
6. Family coming to stay with you.
5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling.
4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities.
3. Days off from work.
2. Candles.
Number 1 reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas ...........
At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house

Music Store
I applied for a job today at F.Y.E. (For Your Entertainment). They have an opening for an assistant manager. I would love to have a job like that. I enjoy all sorts of entertainment, but especially music. To be able to work in an environment where my heart is would be amazing. Anyways, I applied and am going to call in tomorrow.
Speaking of music, I have been singing for as long as I can remember. I love music and music is so much a part of me. There are songs that take me back to good times, bad times, and any other times. Certain songs make me feel good, bad, or ugly. I feel that everyone needs an outlet to release their emotions, and music is mine. Be it singing in a choir, a karaoke bar, the shower, or my car I will always be singing.

Fall is almost here
You know, I really love fall. It's one of my favorite seasons because of all the changes in nature--the leaves, the smells, the temperature, my ALLERGIES!!! I'm allergic to most everything under the sun, but ever since last night, I have been sneezing and blowing my nose like crazy. I am hoping and praying it's just allergies. I can't afford to get sick right now. Lord knows I have enough going on in my life right now. One more thing may be the straw that breaks the camel's back!! Well, it's off to bed for me--well, with the help of some medicine (if I even have any!!)

Ugh...
I left work early today because I was not feeling well. I don't know what it is, but for the last few weeks I have been ill. I've been sick to my stomach, have had trouble eating and sleeping, and have chewed my fingernails to the nubs. A lot of that is from stress and my nerves. I know that, but why after two almost perfect days, are my nerves getting to me?? I don't understand this at all, but I know if it does not stop soon, I will go crazy!!

The Proclaimers
Do you remember that song "500 Miles" by the Proclaimers?? It was in the movie Benny & Joon. Anyways, I work at Hamilton Place Mall, and there is a guy that works on the nightly cleaning crew who looks just like one of the brothers. You know they are twins (and not too terribly attractive). So, most nights when I leave work I see him and just want to break out in song... "and I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door." Sorry--just a random thought that came to me upon hearing that song. It's a great song, one of those that I know I will be singing for a few days because it's so catchy!!
Secrets
I just finished one of the best books. It's called Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella. Kinsella is a British author who has written a few other books including the "Shopaholic" trilogy (one of my all-time favorite trilogies ever!!). Anyways, it's about this girl who is on a plane and feels that she is about to die during some turbulance, so she tells all her secrets to the passenger next to her. Ironically, the passenger turns out to be the owner of the company that she works at. Anyways, the book was phenomenal, and it made me think of secrets that I may keep. Honestly, though, I really don't have a lot of secrets that I can think of. I'm a very open person and share my thoughts and feelings very freely. Let's see if I can think of something...
- I would rather not wear any panties at all so that I don't have a line in my pants.
- Sometimes I borrow my sister's t-shirts--and forget to give them back.
- I can't stand doing laundry, so I usually let it pile up until it is absolutely necessary for me to do it.
- I keep my cups from Chick-fil-A and get free cokes a few times a week.
- Sometimes I make cookie dough and don't bake the cookies, but rather freeze the dough and nibble on it for a few weeks.
OK--there were some of my secrets. I know it's not that interesting or anything, but that's all I can really think of right now. Like I said, I'm very open with my thoughts and feelings. I don't have any dark secrets or anything. Nothing too juicy at all. Just a few random things that I thought of.
If you like to read, check out the book though. It's chick-lit at it's finest. I highly recommend it. Geez--Now I'm starting to sound like Lavar Burton on Reading Rainbow!!!

Love, Marriage, and Jobs
It's been a little while since I last posted an entry. I feel like my life has been spun around in a blender and spat back out at me. After my last entry, I went to a wedding. It was a beautiful day. I saw my friend (and favorite waitress) Lisa get married to a man who must be one of the only few good ones in the world (at least that's how he sounds from everything Lisa's told me). They had a football wedding at a local bar here in town and for the most part of the day we sat around talking and drinking and having a blast. She was beautiful and so happy.
Someday I hope to find a love that is as strong as the one that Lisa and John have. They are so happy with each other and content to spend the rest of their lives together. I've pretty much stopped looking for someone to be with because the majority of men that I meet have been complete dogs--only looking for one thing (and I refuse to give it up straight away). I figure that if I don't look for the ever-illusive "Mr. Right" then maybe, just maybe, *he* will find me. It's just a theory that I am trying out for a little while.
Anyways, I got home and my dad went off on me about staying out all night and not having a full-time job and such. I'm sorry, but it's not like I don't already have a job right now. Granted, it's only part-time, and I do need a full-time job, but I have been looking. I've applied at a number of places. I have a degree and license to teach school, but none of the schools around here are hiring, and even if I got on, there is no guarantee that I will have a job for next school year. So, today, because I was so upset, I applied for about twenty jobs. I just hope that one will come through. I don't know, but we'll see.
Well, I'm about to head off to bed and catch a few zzzz's before work tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than today. I don't know, but I can hope.

Do I have the word "bitch" across my forehead???
I went in to work today, as usual, and the mangager on duty kept getting onto me, telling me to do all sorts of things for her. I mean, FOR HER!!! It was not like she could not do them, it was just *easier* for me to do them than her. Oh, my god--like a little work would not kill you!! And then, to make matters worse, I found out today that I am allergic to my shampoo. I was sneezing all over the store. I was so light-headed for the majority of the night, it was not even funny!!
I found some sanity at one of my favorite places though. I thought it would be strange, and it was for a while, but I put my ghosts in the past and got over it real quick. I saw some of my best friends and had a great time in spite of all the shit that I went through.
My credit card got declined, and I about lost it. Fortunately, I have some fabulous friends who will help me out regardless of what happens. I absolutely love hanging out with those people. No matter how bad I feel, they can always make me feel better. Anyways, I have got to get some sleep before tomorrow. I'm a slave for fashion (literally!!!).

Superheroes aren't the only ones with hidden identities.
We all know that superheroes have hidden identities. Clark Kent is really Superman. Peter Parker is Spiderman. Bruce Wayne is Batman. Diana Prince is Wonder Woman. These people (who aren't real at all) have secret identities, but they keep them hidden to protect themselves. It's all part of their job. I don't know about all you out in cyberspace, but I can tell you that I do not know of any superheroes in this life, at least none that need a secret identity (I consider teachers, doctors, and my friends all superheroes, but they are real people just doing their jobs).
So, if there are no true superheroes with any superpowers like flying or scaling tall buildings in a single jump, why do people put on a front. What is it about society today that makes a person go out of their way to impress others with something that they are not. Now, I am by no means a perfect person, and am probably guilty of doing that same thing, but I cannot stand to be something that I am not. God made me the way I am and I enjoy who I am. If you have a problem with that, too bad. I know that I have real friends who will love me for who I am, not what I act like around certain people.
It's really funny when I think about it. I mean, you meet someone who seems to be wonderful. They are friendly, funny, and seem to be an all-around cool person who I could really enjoy hanging out with. Then, they show their true colors and make a complete ass of themselves. I'm a pretty good judge of character, but when something like that happens it blows my mind.
I am a very open person once I get to know someone. It takes a very long time for me to truly trust a person, but when I do, I can be very open. When a person who I trust makes an ass of themselves and throws something I have told them in my face (completely misinterpreting my words), I get incredibly upset because it makes me feel as though I have lost my good judgment.
I guess the whole point of this little rant is just BE REAL. Be true to yourself and make yourself proud. Who do you really need to impress?? If you can be proud of who you are and confident that people will like you, then you can and will make friends--true friends. Geek--now I'm starting to sound like Stuart Smalley (from Saturday Night Live). So, in honor of his sketches, I will end with this...
"I can do it because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it... People like me!"

Lyrics
Here are the lyrics to one of my current favorite songs. It's by Melissa Etheridge and is called "I Want to Be in Love."
I have climbed the highest mountain
I have sailed across the sea
I have wrestled with my demons
And woke up with only me
I have been around the block
Three times maybe four
And I think I deserve just a little more
In front of total strangers won't you kiss me
Flowers for no reason but you miss me
Oh I want to be in love
You're standing on the doorstep in the rain
Cause you couldn't wait to see me once again
Oh I want to be in love
I have made some big mistakes
And I've paid a heavy price
I found a little peace between will and sacrifice
I have watched as all my dreams
Went walking out the door
And I think I deserve just a little more
I'm looking for a heart of gold
I'm looking for a hand to hold
A happy end
Strong and kind
Somewhere to rest my troubled mind
In front of total strangers won't you kiss me
Flowers for no reason but you miss me
Oh I want to be in love
On Tuesday light the candles bring me wine
Wednesday morning I won't get to work on time
Oh I want to be in love
Surprise me as I'm stepping off the plane
Take my hand as they play our song again
Oh I want to be in love
Not that I am in love right now or anything. I am very happy being on my own. The only thing that I really miss about being in a relationship is the feeling that someone will do anything and everything to make you happy and comfortable. Oh, wait--I've never actually felt that (well, not for a long period of time, and I was with the guy for years!!). That part about looking for the hand to hold, the heart of gold, and the resting the troubled mind really gets me every time.
I'm beginning to think that only about 2% of men are capable of making good mates. The other 98% are all about getting you into bed and using you. Wait--I'd say that 50% are like that, the other 48% will give you the impression that they are a "real catch" then show their asses at the first chance that they get. Me personally, I am much better off being alone right now. What's the point of looking for anything if I know in the end I'm going to get screwed???

Rain
It's raining here. Not a very heavy, thunderstorm-type rain, but a calm and peaceful, steady spray. Not the best driving conditions, but I just got home and stood in the rain for a few minutes. I got soaked, but I am so relaxed now. This past weekend was crazy for me, both mentally and physically, for reasons that I don't care to post. The rain today really calmed me and made me feel more at peace.
Right now, I'm just sitting at my computer listening to the Shrek soundtrack because it has two of the best songs on it: Rufus Wainwright's "Hallelujah" and Jason Wade's (I think) "You Belong to Me." I'm just listening to these two songs over and over right now. If you've never heard either of them, I would highly recommend checking out the soundtrack.

Maybe I'm just dingy!!
So, I thought that this blog was a phenomenal idea. I mean, I can write anything that I want and the whole world can see it and comment on it, rather than just the few who have AOL like me. So, last night I went and set this up. I was so excited about the potential of meeting new people and getting feedback from my occasional rants and rages. I wrote my first entry, and was very proud of it. I thought I published it. I really did. So, I go to check it this morning and it is gone.
Wait--I'm just a huge dingbat. I apparently did publish it. The blog homepage said that I did not have one on there, but just out of curiosity I checked my own blog and did find it. Wow--I'm really blonde sometimes!!
Well, I am about to run and go pay some bills. Maybe when I get back I can actually put something with substance on here rather than just going off about computers and blogs and stuff. Ciao!

Joining the greater blog movement...
So, I began my first blog a few monthes ago on America Online's little blog program, but have since decided that it is not friendly to everyone else on the internet who may actually have something to say about my entries but cannot comment on them because they are not involved with a snooty money-hungry internet service. Now, don't get me wrong, I like AOL alright (for the moment), but if you want to say something, you should be allowed to speak your mind whenever and to whoever. So, I thought that I would give this thing a try. If you happen to enjoy my ramblings, please feel free to comment. If you don't enjoy my ramblings please feel free to comment. Hope to hear from you guys soon.
