I’m going..

..to stretch my ears up another size. Just one. I promise.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, the last year or so, and I’m really getting the itch. Never mind I’m itching for another tattoo too. BUUUUTTT..tapers are cheap at the mall and tattoos are expensive. I’m going with the lesser of two evils.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Black Friday! Mike and I went out Black Friday for a TV..we’re nuts. I’ll tell you right now, I’m never doing it again unless it’s a bad ass deal on whatever it is I want. We went to Target first for a TV we had wanted (we did halfsies..it’s our Xmas gift) and they were sold out within 5 minutes. Then, because curiosity got the best of us, we ventured over to Best Buy. They had the TV we wanted with better quality and only for $50.00 more.
School is going great. I’m only three weeks in, but I’m totally smitten. I come home every night super excited and all smiley. I can’t wait to get home after class to tell Mike and show him what I did. Sometimes, I almost wanna squee with joy.
Anyways..off I go again to another wonderful adventure at Empire Beauty School for four hours.

Happy Thanksgiving & belated picture.

My Blazey.<3
He’s not doing so well these days. His lost his sight due to hemorrhaging in his eyes, which caused his retinas do detach, the lymphoma is in his bone marrow now and he can’t make red blood cells, and he may have high blood pressure from all the stress on his body. Dr. N pretty much told me this may be my last weekend with him. I feel terrible. I mean, he’s still eating, drinking, pooping and doing the cat thing. Last weekend was a bad weekend for him..he spent most of it in his little bed. I gave him an injection of Dexamethisone yesterday afternoon and we increased his Prednisone from 2.5mg once a day to 2.5mg twice a day to keep his immune system going. She also had me start him on Amlodipine 2.5mg once a day to see if that helps his blood pressure any. She said we may be able to restore his eyesight, provided he lives long enough for the meds to take any effect on his eyes. We’ll see. I just want him to be comfy and happy..that’s all that matters.
I just feel like an idiot because I put this cat on such a high pedestal and almost think of him as a little person. He’s been with my since I was 11, I’m 23 now..and needless to say, we’ve been through a ton of shit together. My parent’s divorce, an abusive relationship, my mom’s breast cancer scare, the loss of my best friend in 2005 and a major life change/move from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. I mean..there were points in my life where he was the only one that was there for me. Ugh, I’m going to start crying again..blah.
Anyways..Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I’m thankful for the amazing family I have. I mean..everyone: my mom, my sister (Bean), my mom-mom, Mike, my kitties (MoMo, Holly, Blazey), Mike’s whole family..it’s just amazing. Everyone has been so supportive of me..from bouncing between jobs when I first got here, from changing my course out of vet tech to beauty school, to Blazey’s poor prognosis. Thank you all. I couldn’t have held myself together like this if it wasn’t for all of you.
DM..keep your chin up and don’t cave in.

My first week of school is officially over. And I’m still in one piece, I’ve had my first exam and I passed and life just awesome.
I didn’t post my random picture for Wednesday because my mom, Nick (her boyfriend), took me and Bean to see Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway in New York City. It was awesomeeeeeee. I had such a great time! I was slightly disappointed though because John Stamos was supposed to play the role of Albert Peterson and he didn’t show. His under study was fantastic though.
So, anyways..it’s late, I’m off to bed, and here is my belated Random Wednesday picture:

Mike’s daughter, MK. I love her so much. She’s the coolest 3 1/2 year old around. I’m upset that this picture of her is blurry, yet at the same time I love how candid it is that I don’t mind the blur. It almost adds to the moment.

First Day!

Apple — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:23:40 +0000

Today is my first day at Empire Beauty School. I’m so excited I could almost pee!
I only worked until 1:00pm today and I don’t have class until 5:45pm and I had all intentions on straightening up the house. That is, until my vacuum decided it had enough. Well..the filter had had enough. Plus, I can’t finish laundry, wash dishes, or mop because there’s a water main break down the street so they have the water shut off! Ugh! It’s never a dull moment, it seems…

Santa, baby..

I have been a good girl this year. Please bring me these new plugs so that my ear lobes can be even more super pretty:

Andromeda
Pluto

It doesn’t need to be both..either one is fine. (I like the Pluto one best!) I need them in a 1/2″ please. Thank you.

♥

PS- You can get them at Kolopiercing.com, along with other super awesome jewelry! I ordered my first set of glass plugs through them. Their customer service is awesome, their prices are totally reasonable and their jewelry is great quality. I’ve dropped my glass plugs on the shower floor (more than I’d like to admit..) and they’ve never chipped, scratched, or broke. I highly recommended them to anyone who is looking for some new jewelry, taper kits, aftercare products for piercings, etc. Tada!

Pomplamoose = love.

It’s Wednesday.

This is what 3 1/2 hours of sleep and an upset stomach looks like. And a super pale girl who can’t get the flash to shut off on her digital camera.

PS: I still have a job. My OM just pretended I didn’t exist today…which is fine by me.

Not to be too TMI..

Apple — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:19:01 +0000

I’m pretty sure that after today’s awful shenanigans from my OM via telephone this morning are going to cause me to lose my job.
Ok, look..not to be TMI, but I’m so miffed and upset right now that I don’t care.
I have to be at work by 8:00am..no excuses. However, I think waking up at 6:00am with explosive, non-stop diarrhea is a pretty good excuse to be just a bit late. I called my OM at about 6:45-7:00am to let her know. At this point, it seemed to have stopped and I needed a shower desperately. At 7:30am, I jumped in with Mike and it hit again. I danced out of the shower and b-lined it to the back bathroom where all hell broke lose again. I tried calling my OM and, to no surprise, didn’t answer her cell or home phones. I tried multiple times. In a desperate attempt to reach someone, I called L to ask her to tell my OM what was going on when she got in. At this point, it’s almost 8:00am. There’s no way I’m making it in by 8:30am as previously stated. So..I hop back in the shower before Mike finishes so that I can at least since the conditioner out of my hair. While getting dressed, the home phone rings. It’s my OM. She’s livid and tells me to not even bother since I need to leave by 3:00pm today anyway. Ok..fine. I’m upset, but let it go. Right now, I have other issues to worry about than my OM being angry. Then, at 8:30, she calls back. She wants me in as soon as the diarrhea stops because this is “ridiculous”. According to her records, I call out, ask to be late, or need to leave early at least once a week. I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can count asking to leave early now on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to my school schedule. Nor, do I think you can count the days that I requested off (a month in advanced, mind you) for vaca or to have my teeth pulled. Granted, I called out towards the end of Sept/beginning of Oct because I had the flu. I called out sick on a Tuesday, which she flipped out about, then I went in on Wednesday and she sent me home as soon I as I walked through the door. I try my best to schedule doctor visits or other appointments for Monday and Wednesday after noons since I leave by 1:00pm. Yes, I have been late on many occasions, and I have tackled that issue and haven’t been late since. I can’t thank her enough for tolerating that from me. BUT! It is unprofessional to throw life’s little oopsies in my face like that. Anyway..I told her I’d be in as soon as I could..that was at 8:30 or whatever. And here it is, 12:09pm and I’m still a slave to my gut. I vomited around 9 or 10:00am this morning..at which time, I called work, L answered, and I asked for the OM. I guess she was busy..or outside having a cigarette because that’s more important to her than anything else, because L just asked me what was up. So I told her what the deal was, and that I was beginning to feel better and would be in within 30-45 minutes. She said don’t worry about it, feel better, and that she’d tell OM and she’d see me tomorrow. We’ll see.
I’m just irritated that she should be the one setting an example for the rest of the office, yet she doesn’t. She comes into work in flip-flops, purple jeans, about 45 minutes late every Thursday (because the Big Man isn’t in) and usually brings her dog which is a no-no because she barks at every animal that walks by the office. Oh, and she constantly leaves early because she’s always “not feeling well” and “has a lot of shit going on at home”. That’s fine, but she was the one who made a point to me and everyone else there to let home at home. I get crap all the time for my clothes and how I look, yet half the time she walks in with bed-head and, like I said, flip-flops and PURPLE jeans.
Ugh! I’m so irritated..
I wish I was feeling better so that I wasn’t sitting her wasting my day to try and find a new job.
This is just stupid.
I’m going out anyway.
