Last Day

Today is the last day for the store I was working at in the mall and yesterday was my last day there so I am officially unemployed.
It's time to start looking for a new job, but I'm not quite sure where to go yet. It's difficult without any transportation. I'd like to stay at home and work, but I haven't found anything worth while that I can actually pay my bills with.

Christmas was nice. I was glad to be home and see my family and friends. Danny's Jeep is not drivable anymore so we had to borrow his dad's truck to get back home. We have to drive home this weekend and try to get it fixed so that we can give his dad his truck back.
I didn't take ANY pictures, so much for that goal. Maybe I can take some pictures when we go home this weekend.

I made my first forum last night. It's Zazzle based, but it's really a forum about everything.
Please, please, please come join!!

I'd also like to congratulate Wisteria Forest for all the postcards she sold yesterday through my associate account. I'd just like to show everyone which postcards from her gallery that were sold. They are all so nice.

Since there are so many of them, I made the images small. Click on the thumbnail to see the postcard in her gallery.

Dishwasher Magnet

I hate coming home to my apartment after work and not knowing whether the dishes in my dishwasher are clean or dirty. It is especially irritating when I have just finished a load of dishes and my boyfriend throws his dirty dishes in with the clean ones. With this simple, yet very creative magnet, you will always know the condition of your dishes!

Photobucket
I found this graphic at http://www.crazy-jokes.com.


Tomorrow Dan and I are making the journey back home, yay! :)
Today I am going to get the laundry done and pack our bags. Hopefully I can get a little cleaning done around the apartment, I always say that though. Hahaha.
I am going to try and update while I am at home. I am also supposed to make it a goal to take pictures, especially for my Zazzle store. I need to get some more of my actual photography up.

Just wanted to share a holiday joke with everyone that I found at Dwarfnet.
Enjoy and have a safe and happy holiday season everyone.

Holiday Diet Tips:

  1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
  2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, they cancel each other out.
  3. When eating with someone else, calories don't count if you both eat the same amount.
  4. Foods used for medicinal purposes have no calories. This includes any chocolate used for energy, brandy, Sara Lee Cheesecake (eaten whole), and Haagen-Daz Ice Cream.
  5. Movie-related foods are much lower in calories simply because they are a part of the entertainment experience and not part of one's personal fuel. This includes Milk Duds, popcorn with butter, Junior Mints, Snickers, and Gummi Bears.
  6. Cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breakage causes calorie leakage.
  7. If you eat the food off someone else's plate, it doesn't count.
  8. If you eat standing up the calories all go to your feet and get walked off.
  9. Food eaten at Christmas parties has no calories, courtesy of Santa.
  10. STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backward.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas. :)

It's getting a lot closer to Christmas. I can't wait to go home on Tuesday.
I think I finally got all my Christmas shopping done, we just have one more person to buy for and then we can finally rest.

Some woman that Danny works with made this little pin for me. I thought it was really cute. :)
It's a bad picture, though. Sorry.





My counter top is a bit messy, haha.
The woman who made it hand paints it herself, and then just glues it to a little pin.

We got quite a bit of snow here yesterday, it actually wasn't as bad as they predicted, though.
It was just really icy out. Hopefully it isn't too bad for when we drive home and back.

Well I'm getting ready to go to work in just a couple of hours. :(
Everyone enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Almost Time!!

The holiday is coming very fast, just five more days until I will be driving home!
I can't wait to get away from work and be back in Michigan.
This time I am going to make it a goal to take pictures.





That was me on Christmas Eve two years ago.
I've changed so much since then, even my hair is different. I'd like to get a picture of me on Christmas Eve this year, too. I didn't take one last year.

I need to get the rest of my Christmas shopping done very soon, maybe today before I go to work?
I don't know, I don't ever have time. And Danny has to go get his Jeep fixed today so that we can drive it home. I have no idea how everything is going to work out today.
Hopefully we can afford to get it fixed, have gas money to drive home and be able to make rent when we come home. Hopefully we get money for Christmas, ha. That would be the best gift.

Good Morning!

Getting ready to go to work, if my co-worker actually does come pick me up this morning.
Not that I would be complaining if he didn't, ha. I'm supposed to have the day off.

Yesterday I sold a magnet on Zazzle of a llama that I took a picture of at Cosley Zoo in Wheaton, IL.
I just wanted to thank Jayna from New Jersey for her purchase!




Have a nice day everyone!

Dragging

Another day of work, another shipment to work on all by myself. What else is new?
At least it's Friday. Maybe I will have the chance to go out with some friends tonight and relax.
I really need to work on getting this apartment clean. There's always tomorrow, right?
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Another Day Off!



I have another day to relax and get some stuff done around the apartment. I was supposed to have yesterday off, but I switched shifts with my co-worker so she could spend the day with her boyfriend because it was his birthday.

I had a really strange man approach me at work yesterday. He tried telling me I was coming with him after I got off work. He said he worked at Life Time Fitness, and that he wanted to give me a membership. He kept asking my name and all this weird creepy stuff. I called security, not sure what happened with the whole situation, or what will happen.
There are a lot of weird people at the mall I work at. I even had someone follow me out to where I grocery shop when I got off work one night. I have to watch my back, closely.

Besides all of that, Dan and I got the apartment decorated for Christmas a little. Maybe I can get some decent pictures soon. I'd like to get a little more done, and some more cleaning.
I'm having everyone over my apartment for New Year's Eve. We are also having a friend from back home coming out to watch the Red Wing's play the Blackhawk's at Wrigley Field on New Year's Day. Dan and I wanted to go, but we can't afford $300 tickets.

I sold something on Zazzle on Monday!!




My new dog line has been pretty successful!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for my next recommended product on Zazzle.
I will update again on Thursday.

Relaxing

Just enjoying my day off today. I got some much needed cleaning done around the apartment and now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I might try to take my unit three test for my Biology class. I think I need to get my head together before that, though.
Not looking forward to work tomorrow.

I sold a t-shirt on Saturday!!

Almost the Weekend

I should be pretty busy at work today and tomorrow. We're receiving a new shipment of products. The store is pretty empty because of our sale of 50% off of everything in the entire store, so I expect the shipment is going to be huge. I think I'm going to be stuck stocking everything by myself as well. Hopefully I can get by with what little sleep I've had. Luckily, Danny has the day off so if I need anything he can run up.

I have been meaning to get outside and take some pictures, but I never get the chance because I am always at work.
There is a bush right outside my apartment that is really pretty. It is covered with snow and icicles. Hopefully I can get a picture of it soon. I'd like to add more of my own photography to my Zazzle store instead of all the commercial clip art and photos I buy.

I guess I should get ready for my day now.
Have a good Thursday everyone!

Good Morning!

I had the day off of work yesterday, so did Dan. We took advantage of the time and ran some errands. We finally bought a much needed vacuum.

I went to work to pick up my check and look at the schedule. I only took a glance at it, but it seems as if I have all of my hours back.
Now it's back to work until Christmas time.

EDIT// The Cyber Monday special for free shipping has been extended one more day on Zazzle. For those of you who didn't take advantage of it yesterday, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!

Baby's First Christmas Card

Customize your own greeting card this year by adding your baby's photograph to send out to your friends and family.



Vacation is Over!

Just got home! It was a long trip, especially in the winter storm. The cab ride back from the train station was really long with all the snow. Danny was hoping to have school off, looks like the snow has stopped for now, though. We will see what happens within the next couple of hours. Beside that, we both don't have to go to work today. I have a lot to get done here. I'm not exactly looking forward to it.

I didn't get to take any pictures at home. Thanksgiving was nice, the whole weekend was nice.
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving weekend as well.
