And how did I manage to do that?

Another Amy antic for you...

I worked again tonight at American Eagle. I actually think I am going to like it? I got off and called my brother. He and his wife are not going to be at the family deal tomorrow for Thanksgiving so I decided to go visit them tonight. They are going to be with her family instead, since her brother Jeremy is home visiting from Iraq.

So, I'm sitting on the couch drinking a coke and talking, when suddenly and unexpectedly (even to me), a huge burp erupts from my mouth. I scramble to cover my mouth quickly. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but in my swift motion to cover my mouth, I managed to pour coke in my face and hair. I sat there stunned for a few moments not wiping it off my face while they both stared at me in confusion. Jennifer even paused the show to laugh and ask me, "What happened?"

Yep. That's me. Typical Amy. What can I say?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

First Day

So, I started my new second job at American Eagle tonight. I had this bad feeling that it was going to be terribly boring and I was going to end up just standing around a lot. Well, not today. Today we redressed all of the manequins. Something I have certainly never done before. At one point I found myself crouched on the floor asking someone "How do I get his pants off?" Of course everyone laughed at me. Understandably. I certainly have a new respect for retail workers. But I was far from bored. I was busy the whole time I was there and the time went by faster than I thought it would. Not to mention everyone was very nice. I really think this will be a good way for me to branch out and meet some new people. Not to mention make at least a little Christmas money and enjoy the 40% discount. I know what I am getting everyone for Christmas, LOL.

So, now that you know where to find me... pop in to visit at the AE in EastChase! Hope everyone had a great one!

Thanks man... really!

So, on Friday night Kelly and I went to the Highlands to see StrongFold play. We are sitting at the bar and this guy stands way too close to me and keeps looking down my shirt. He's not bothering to start a conversation with me, just looking at my boobs. I am getting pretty aggravated, when I smell an awful smell. I turn to Kelly and say, "Kelly, did you fart? I think this guy just farted on me!" To which he makes his exit. Kelly even took his pic with her camera phone and sent it to a few people with a note saying "This guy just farted on Amy."

I haven't thought about again until this morning when I see the pictures from Friday night on StrongFold's website. So here is my re-enactment:

May as well be another Monday...

I'm off to a good start this morning. On the way to work, I hit a bump and spilled tea down the front of my pants. Even after it dried there was a distinct spot. Afraid that the tea might stain my new pants, I go to the bathroom, wet some paper towels and attempt to wash out the spot. I only manage to create an even larger more noticeable spot on the front of one leg. But at least I can look on the bright side of this? If it had been farther toward my inner leg, people would think I had peed my pants. At least this spot is very obviously a spill. So, hopefully... surely... the day can oly get better from here on out.

Wasted Day

For once, I had planned to do some constructive things today. I brought some of my "junk" out of my parents storage to my house. I was going to sort through it and throw out the junk and organize the things I wanted to keep. It's everything from Christmas decorations to art supplies to old keepsakes I tucked away. I also planned to measure out the front of my house and make sure I have enough Christmas lights. This is my first year in this house and I am so excited about decorating it!

So, what really happened today? I slept in pretty late. I got up and took my dog out and played with her for a while. I got dressed and ready to run a couple of errands, and WHAM! My eyes start acting crazy which is a sure sign that I am about to have a monster migraine. So back to bed I go. But after sleeping in so late and having such a relaxing evening home alone last night, I'm not tired and can't fall asleep. I am out of my migraine medicine so I call and ask my mom to bring me some of hers. It was the worst migraine I've had in a long time. So I have spent the whole day in bed.

Now, I am awake but completely unmotivated to do anything constructive. I don't even want to cook myself dinner. I think a trip to Arby's is in store. And then maybe a movie on the couch. Sounds good to me. I hope everyone else had a better day then I did.

Critters...

This morning I woke up early enough to make a little breakfast... which is unusual for me. I have trouble getting to sleep so the later I can sleep, the better. As I was standing in the kitchen watching my breakfast cook in the toaster (no, I don't know why I was watching it?), I see something moving out of the corner of my eye. There are two plates standing upright in the dish drainer, and crawling between them is a bright green lizard! Thanks, Mr. Lizard... just crawl all over my clean plates. Now I will have to wash them again. But I guess now that its getting cold outside, I can expect all of the little critters outside to be trying to make their way inside where its warm. It's going to be an interesting winter.

I did manage to snap a pic of the lizard with my crappy camera phone... so here he is:

TGIF

Yes, it is Friday. And I am so glad! No, I am not headed to Panama City tonight. We will be leaving in the morning/afternoon tomorrow. So, now I am not sure what I’ll be doing tonight. Ugli Stick is playing at Off the Wagon tonight and I know I would have fun there… but maybe I should save my energy for all the fun I plan to have tomorrow night watching StrongFold at La Vela. I’ve never been to La Vela and I didn’t realize just how big the place is. I cannot wait to get down there! I keep wondering if there will be enough time to go to Salty’s to get one of those watermelon drinks (which can be seen in my photos) before we head to La Vela?

What is everybody else doing tonight? I had been hoping that I would have some sort of date with someone in particular one night this weekend… but that person has seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth, so a date is not likely. So, friends… if someone is interested in going to a movie, going to dinner or going to see Ugli Stick play… gimmee a call! Otherwise, I will end up staying home, getting stuff ready for the trip, doing laundry, reading a book and watching silly things on tv… which no sane person should be doing on a Friday night.

Anyway… I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I know I will! ;)

Silence

Silence sucks. I know that sometimes the truth hurts... but I'd rather know the truth than know nothing. I'm not really sure what happened, what changed? But something did... just when I thought I figured out what I wanted, now I don't know anymore. What a mess... I just really thought that we were good enough friends to just be honest with each other. So, I guess now the only thing to do is just pretend nothing ever happened and forget about it. Life rolls on, right?

Little Change in Plan...

So, I am still going to PC but it looks like I will be going down on Friday night and coming back on Saturday, instead of going down on Saturday night like originally planned. I'm really looking forward to getting out of town for a day or so. The drive will be nice and getting to see Dave and Nikki and the rest of the StrongFold boys. It's been a rough week and I am looking forward to it being over. Stress at work, stress in my personal life... I really need a breather. But I will be back in town for Saturday night so if anyone knows of anything exciting going on, give me a buzz!

And while I am at it... I'd like to mention that I bought the Smile Empty Soul album when I saw them at Off the Wagon last Thursday night. The whole album is great and I just can't stop listening to it. I just wanted to pass the word along that is is very worth the purchase!! So check it out!

Ahhhh...

That is the sound of me breathing again. For two days now, I have been struggling with a project at work. We were having trouble printing a brochure that I designed… and to spare you the boring technical details… it boils down to the lady who runs the printer blaming the problem on how I set up my document when I knew the problem was a mechanical problem with the printer. We went back and forth trying to prove to each other why it was the other person’s “fault.” But finally, VICTORY IS MINE!

The printer guy came in today and was shown what I had printed which clearly showed that the registration is off. Although yesterday, he told us the printer was just fine… today he says, “Oh, look at that. You’re right. The registration is off.”

No? REALLY?? That’s what I have been trying to tell you for two days! Maybe next time there is a problem like this, my opinion will get a little more credit. Just because I am much younger doesn’t mean I don’t have some experience and know what I am talking about. I did go to school for 5 years to learn about print/design and I did work in a publishing company for two years where I worked with printers and their crazy problems on a daily basis. Sigh… I’m just glad the problem is being solved and I can get back to working on other things now.

My baby girl...

I don't think I have ever posted any pictures of my dog, Pookie before... so here are some.
