...is a working girl...and a happy one...

A miraculous miracle happened today! This morning I woke up and I actually felt better! I have not felt this great in awhile so its great! So I went to work, and I have to say work was awesome as well. 

The people that I trained with were really awesome as well. One girl that I work with she goes to Winston now, so we had stuff to talk about, which was good. Anyways, we talked about that and we hit it off pretty good her name was Charmine, I think...

But anyways we got to talking about our boyfriends, and she got to meet Ethan since he was going home. Since Ethan goes to Winston as well I told her she could go see him at school and to talk to him because she is new (and I understand what it is like to be new). So thats good for her to have someone to talk to at school. 

Anyways my shift was good, I was happy coming off of my shift which is all that matters. When I got off work as well, Ethan got his mom to drive me home. I was excited for him to drive me home too because I cannot lie I kind of missed him, because I was expecting for him to get off work at 10 like me but instead he got off at 8. So I still wanted to talk to him, and was looking forward to it. So I was happy to get my good night kiss :) 

Also, tonight I got to watch Greys Anatomy. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this season? There was the biggest cliff hanger with the air plane crash, it was nearly driving me loco! 
But I am so sad..
Warning! Spoiler alert!

Mark dies! Sad face! and the little red head gets her job back, after not being certified for being a doctor! and I thought that Arizona died...but she just got her leg amputated by her wife! OMG intense!
Its all cray cray right?!?! 

But that was my awesome day! Loving work and loving the new seasons of shows I love.

Sick days: Episode 3: Groceries!!!..and still having no life...

Still having no life pretty much. Just relaxed today, I slept in until 11 which was a good thing. Later at night mom came home and we went out for groceries, we got the monthly prescriptions and then headed off to wally's world (walmart) for some groceries, since I get a 10% discount for working there..oh yeahhh...

But we got groceries, when walking around the store I talked to this girl that was in orientation along with me. She is the nicest lady in the whole world, she is just coming back to work from having her last child. She is in produce and she just makes me smile, she always seems to have a smile on her face (which helps when you are feeling down). 

Later on, I saw Ethan (since he worked) and we chatted for a bit, he is sick and tired of turkey's (I don't blame him....fyi he works in the meat department)

But man, when my mom and I are sick we should not shop. We were wondering around the store grabbing random crap. I had a grocery list,  but I barely got anything off of the grocery list. Everything on the list just seemed like crap to me once I actually thought of it, so I just got whatever I felt like at the time. Mom did the same, she just got whatever. 

It's interesting though because my mom said that she could not remember being at the level of sick that she is at now since she was pregnant with me. That is a loooonnnnggg time folks. Growing up I never remembered her ever having a throat cold, or congestion. But in my 19th year of life I get to experience her being as sick as anything. Its horrid listening to, the wheezing, and the coughs when she laughs. It makes me want to be serious and not make her laugh at all, just so that she won't cough and choke. 

But we prayed that we BOTH will get better. At least later on (and now) I feel better.

Hopefully tomorrow though I will feel better so that I can go to work..and stay there all day. I missed to much work already, and I haven't even worked there a month yet. 


Sick days: Episode 2: bored....


My days are getting more and more boring now. With reading my sister's blog I kind of realize how boring my life has got..sad face. But yesterday at least I hung out with Ethan.

I was going to be around the school anyways to pick up antibiotics, so I went and saw him. I brought him an arizona because he loves them so much, but they didn't have the green tea kind that he likes. But it was good going back to the school because I got to see his new project he is working on, and I think it will look pretty in the end.

Also, I was beginning to feel a little better as well. I actually got up and did my hair. You could tell just by me doing my hair that I felt better since I did not do my hair for 3 days, and I think that is the longest I have gone without doing my hair in a very long time.


A little OOTD (outfit of the day)
When Ethan got back to his house though, he had to level up on WOW so it was sad. I just read the book that I brought that my mom got me from her work. Its called Shopaholic ties the knot. I know a classic cheesy romance book..but I love the author. Her writing is hilarious, and if a book can make me laugh out loud then its a good thing (well if any book can make me feel an emotion out loud). 

But when he took a break from playing wow, he came and watched a movie with me. It was Confessions of a Shopaholic, quite simply the biggest "girl" movie I know, but I love the film. It always makes me laugh when I see the movie, it just brings joy to my life. So I was surprised that he watched it with me and laughed along with it..most guys wouldn't right? So it looks like I have a good catch...

 But yeah that was my day yesterday. Today I am back to feeling like crap (yay..not). Hopefully I will be better by tomorrow though because I work..so pray that I get better.

Toodles for now!

Sick days: Episode 1

I was so sick today. I woke up today and thought that I could go to work especially since I went home from work the day before,but thats not how it went. I called in sick and I felt so bad to call in sick! Worse was that later Ethan told me that 9 cashiers called in sick today so the CSM's were pissed...It made me feel even worse about taking another day off, but I knew I needed it. I would have collapsed at work.

But I was wobbly, couldn't really stand straight and I had the sweats/chills/fever/everything that involves being sick. I truly have not felt this crappy in a whole year, so its horrid feeling sick again. Luckily I got medication to subside some side effects of the illness, it sort of helped and just relaxing MAJORLY helps. 

But anyways, this is how my day went. 

I watched a lot of movies and shows today. 

Movie #1
Scoop 

Review:
I LOVED this movie, it was adorbs-able! Woody Allen in this movie was highlarious. Completely highlarious actually. I laughed so hard at just the things that he said. Scarlett Johanson did a good job too, normally I don't like her work that much but she was good in this film. 
I would give it 5 stars. 
*****

Movie #2
Waitress 

Review:
I already loved this movie before, it has a different vibe to the movie than any other movie that I watched. It is a cute love story but is kind of twisted at the same time. Kind of like Juno, but with affairs and such. But I just love how the ending of this movie is, it is super cute and how they exaggerate a lot of the scenes. 
I would give this movie 4 stars 
****

Then lastly, the shows that I watched. 
The only shows that I remember watching today was Glee, and sadly to say I still do not like the show. But I loved the Britney 2.0 songs, the remixes and covers of the songs were really good. I think that the covers are better than the original Britney Spears covers that they did before. 

Also, I loved Kate Hudson in the show. She played this very vixen-y character which I think suits her well. She was very good in the dance numbers but I do not know what to think about her voice yet. 

The thing that I hate most about the show though is that the performances on the show seem way too lip-synched for the actual show. Since they show them dancing around and singing, then after they are huffing and puffing~well they would huff and puff during the numbers too. 

That was my day folks, but it was so nice to chill and relax and try to get better.

I feel so special...

My guy is so good to me..it makes me feel so special. So today at work, I really felt like crap and I needed a lunch so he went and got me a lunch. I had requested something with vegetables a random sandwhich, you know the usual. But he surprised me and got me an ice cap from timmy's. 

It just made my heart melt, and when I went home sick from work (body exhaustion) doing too much lately. He made sure that I was ok, and came over even though he felt like crap as well (and he really did he could hardly walk OR stand...poor guy..) 

And he specifically made time to come over to my house today, since I was missing home.
I was spending a lot of time over at his house and with his family, so it was nice to hang out with him and my mom. It was actually quite a nice time having to hang out with Ethan and my mom at the same time because I want for everyone to get along and not fight at all or have it being awkward.  Also, he got a free meal out of it since I made him supper but he liked it so thats good at least ha ha, I just made some homemade pasta sauce with some spaghetti. 
As well, I talked to my sister on the phone and we all went on speaker so I could talk to her boyfriend and she could talk to mine so that they could sort of "meet" I suppose. But it was a good time, I had a fun time laughing and talking with my sister. 

Seriously though I have never had this great of a relationship with my sister in a long long time. I am grateful that we are getting along again and being closer than ever before. 

But anyways that was my day I suppose, I just thought that I would mention that it was just a day full of heart melting, my heart just feels like a fondue right now because of it. 

I am just so grateful for the loving people in my life and love days like this that help me remember that. I hope you all have people that make you feel this way.

A series of unplanned events..not unfortunate.

Today was just a whole bunch of fun that unexpectedly fell onto my lap. That is right people..I did not plan on any of it...Chyea. Normally when I write something on this blog I plan what I am going to do. Well today was a "whatever" day as in lets see where the colours of the wind takes me...
The wind took me to back to high school.
My boyfriend called me to come to the school to see his work before it got "trampled" on. It made me question what the heck his artwork was going to be, so I just got up to see what it was. And to my surprise it was streetart with chalk. But this was cool chalk drawings, they were actually good. I quite enjoyed going around and looking at all the different designs that were on the concrete.




Da boyfriend..do u see the metre stick that is by the red pole to the left of the picture..yeah thats the scale the picture was. He just had to be the kid with the biggest drawing. 


My feet after...

Then afterwards was family night with Ethan's family. We went to Osho's which I never went to before. When I told them I had never gone before they were shocked. Anyways the food there was ok, it was very seafoody..which I really do not like. I do not care how many times people say it but I do not like seafood and I never will.
But afterwards we just went back and we watched a part of this movie called the intruders. I could not believe it because Ethan actually got freaked out by the movie. I didn't think it was scary or "freaky" in the least bit.


Thennnn even after that I went to my friend Jenna's birthday party. She turned 18, so she had a little party. We just went to the movie mill and we did some mini golfing. You know, mini golfing is so much harder to play when you get older, I was so good at it as a child. I do not know what happened to my mad Tiger Woods skills that I had achieved when I was a child.

Then afterwards we went to the movie Premium Rush, I liked that movie as well but it got very repetitive, it was like talk..bike scene..talk..bike scene..talk..bike scene. It had a good few funny parts though, which I can give some points to.
I would say it would be 3 out of 5 stars
***

But yeah that was my day. The day that I chose to do nothing is the day I did everything at once in one bloody day, isn't that just cray cray or what?

Working 9 to 5...well 10 to 6 haha but still.

Now that I am back to working, I have that good old Dolly Parton song stuck in my mind..
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin
Barely gettin by
It's all takin'
and no givin'
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you 
crazy if you let it! (which I would) 

Back to my blog post...ha ha 
Today I pretty much ran to work..my poor muscles..ahh..but I got there just in the knick of time. I went on to do CBL's right away, which in Wally's World language means computer based learning. I did fine on most of the modules minus the sexual harassment one. I failed that darn module 2 times, I thought I would never pass it. 
Ha ha I was so worried that if they found out that I was struggling with passing just that module that I was some kind of creeper/pedophile that will sexually harass people. 

But after the Computer based learning I went and job shadowed a lady. Her name was Joyce and I have to say that she really is pushy for the Walmart Rewards mastercard. She was tired as heck and still kept on pushing the darn credit card. I guess I should take some tips and pointers from her about it. But she was a good lady, she was really nice and she thought I was smart (which is always a good thing) 

Anyways to get to the most exciting part of the day. I saw one of the coworkers silly string another co worker. Since it was her last day of work, I guess it did not matter whether or not she did that. I guess I would do the same thin if it were my last day of work, but it sure was entertaining to watch. It was very humorous. 

But that was my work day pretty much. I hope work can be exciting always as it was today.
