slightly refreshed

yesterday was a total shit day at work. a bunch of old men yelled at me because they apparently think walgreens is too expensive and confusing. i just really wanted to say "take your business elsewhere, i don't give a fuck!" it's not my problem. anyways, walgreens sucks. SUCKS. luckily, i was able to vent to April and Nathan. they're good for that.

las night i came home and listened to andrew jackson jihad. wonderful band. it really lifted my spirits. they're so amazing, and even better live. i think everyone should check them out. they're total perfection.

i was so exhausted, i went to sleep before 11:30 and didn't wake up until 10:30 this morning. i feel like i am just staying totally worn out from work and nothing about the job, other than a paycheck every two weeks is worth it. i did get a minute to work on some craft endeavors last night, which was good and refreshing. i was just too tired to get much done. i think i'm going to get a planner. i always have a really hard time balancing my life between work and doing the things i love. it's just hard for me to figure out how to make time. or when i do have time i want to sleep or hang out with my friends. i wish i could stay totally inspired all of the time.

my sister is in town from kansas right now along with her husband and my adorable nephew jonas! cutest kid in the world. she'll be here until after thanksgiving. then she leaves. holidays stress me out so much. i'm certain that i'm working thanksgiving this year. not sure about christmas yet.

stressed.

so, yesterday was my 21st birthday. and i spent it starting a new job at Walgreens. I'm very thankful for finally having another job. i'm so stoked to start getting regular paychecks and not being dirt poor. I don't want to complain, but so far i'm pretty sure i hate everything about it.

i might just be spoiled. but, i loved my first job more than anything. i had about 15 coworkers. everyone knew one another, for the most part, we were friends. a lot of us hung out afterwork. we were a tight knit family. and i know that walgreens can never provide that. today was only my second day, and i kinda feel like a lunatic, but sometimes you just know things. and i know i hate it. a couple of my new coworkers are friendly, but it's just a completely different atmosphere. ugh.

i'm trying my best to stay positive. the only thing that is getting me through is getting paychecks and being able to buy all my friends and family christmas presents. that is my driving force. i just hope things get better.

my first day off, i am staying in my basement and crafting all day. period.

birthday.

i'm officially 21.



yikes.
not real sure how to feel about it.

girls night!

last night me and a couple of my favorite gal pals enjoyed a nice dinner at Cracker Barrel. totally delicious. totally, totally delicious. then we went over to Wal mart and picked up a few groceries for my birthday party this weekend. big 21!!! we were poking through the craft aisle, and it before we left Wal mart we ended up buying foam visors, glitter glue, and all kinds of other little decorating things.

here is the end result.

21st birthday on monday!

accomplished!

i feel really happy right now. the last couple of days have been a real boost for my morale. it kinda seems like things are starting to sorta fall back into place. i'll have to admit, i am a little weary, because things have been really misplaced, or so it seems for a very long time. i'm just starting to feel a little more confident, like i have the power to choose where my life is going. and that's very exciting.

my life is nothing but a rollercoaster. one day, one minute, i am at my highest, then in a blink of an eye, everthing changes. my entire life could fall to pieces tomorrow. but that's ok, because i am happy tonight.

exciting news!

i've been unemployed for a little over a year now.
i've been looking for a job.
but, nothing ever seemed to work out.
