Hopes and Dreamz

While I wouldn't call myself a fashionista, I would just say that I like to sparkle. I'm on a mission to find all things glitter and rhinestone. It is my lifelong dream that all the people of the world will discover how much fun it is to sparkle. Then the world would be a better place.

I have a slight obsession with online window shopping.  While I should be sticking with places like Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe, I find myself getting caught up on the Saks Fifth Avenue website, or shopping for china at Tiffany's.


I think as I'm getting older, my maturity is actually decreasing.  I have become more and more obsessed with glitter and sparkles over the past year.  I feel like I can relate to the 7 and 8 year old girls that come into my work.  I've actually asked one little girl where she got her flower headband, because I wanted one for myself.


I tell myself that one day I will be able to buy Louboutins and Jimmy Choo shoes.  One.... day....


And those are my delusional thoughts of the night.  Thanks for listening.

What's the most surprising thing about love?

Here are some answers to that question (not my personal ones) that I read today:



"Love is not deterred by morning breath or aging skin or lack of makeup or extra weight, because true love has a solid foundation."


"It takes on so many different forms: love for my husband, for my cat, for my friends, for ice cream."


"The older I get, the better it feels to love than be loved."


"How simple it can be.  Love is felt through the small gestures and quiet moments that emerge throughout any given day: the sound of my husband whistling, the touch of my daughter's hand on my cheek, my son's smile on the basketball court when he finds my face in the crowd."


"One word: everything."


Thought I'd share =)

Timeless Truths

I read this little diddy in a magazine today, and I thought it was some great food for thought for women of all ages.  Enjoy!


**Not youth, nor beauty is so much to be envied as the state of the woman who has freed herself from the fear of age.


**It is much easier to prevent a wrinkle than to remove one later.


**Be good to your hands because they are inveterate tattletales.  Make sure they will say nice things about you.


**Never become the kind of wife who says: "I don't care how I look.  I'm married."

New Header!

I'm moving up in the world kids!  Well, the blog world.  Made a new header today thanks to Shabby Blogs.  Mine isn't perfect but good enough (story of my life).

Easter has come and gone and I can't believe it's APRIL!  2010 is flying by.

My first blog as my 24 year old self.

Happy birthday to me! =)

When I was I kid, I thought 'deaf' and 'death' were the same word. I would tell people that I couldn't hear them because I was death.

I'm changing (no, not a sex change)

I haven't been very good at keeping up with my social media outlets lately.  I keep promising for a good blog post one day, but that day still hasn't come.  I'm not making anymore promises.  Read at your own risk.

Well it's been an exciting year so far.  Lets review:

1) One of my BFF's got hitched!  I had the honor be being in her wedding.  Really, for me, it was just an excuse to wear a cute cocktail dress and sparkley heels.  But lets face it, my true friends know the truth about me (and I know she's going to read this at some point ;-) )

2) I quit my 1st job out of college after 8 months.  Yeah, I guess you could say I gave up.  Since my blog is public, I will spare the details (just in case, ya know).  But really, there's nothing to hide.  I just wasn't cut out for the job.  And not ready for it.  It's very terrifying going into work the day you plan on quitting.  Me?  I had "a talk" with my boss.  I decided to man up and do it face to face.  I did consider a letter of resignation, and just handing it to my boss and being like PEACE BITCHES!!  But then I thought, who writes a letter of resignation? I'm not the freakin' president.

3) I forgot to mention that I accidentally quit my job without having another job lined up... mind you, I have little gigs I can work here and there for money (and no, I'm not a prostitute), but it still wasn't the best decision I ever made.  I applied for a million jobs on Craigslist, and to my surprise, received quite a few call backs.  Promising ones, not the spam ones for "women seeking women."

4) I had a few great interviews, but I wasn't expecting anything to come of it.  I am, after all, 23 and have less than a year of real work experience.  Who wants to hire someone who can't handle a job after 8 months?  However, I went into all my interviews with an open mind, and was completely honest about my situation.  I feel like at this point, I've been through so many interviews, I rarely get nervous for them anymore.  I figure, they like me or they don't.  Right?

5) I landed a new job!  Yep, I found one.

My last day at my old job was Jan 30th, and I started my new one Feb 1st.  Nothing like taking a vacation, right?  I can't really complain though, I need to consistently work to support my shopping habit.

So that's where I am.  And overall, I'm very happy with everything =)  Oh yeah, my birthday is next weekend February 28th!!!

List of things I'm planning on within the next year:

-figure out what pro cheerleading team I want to try out for.... any suggestions?
