Just your (un)average girl

Opening Day!

We opened the store this morning and it was AMAZING!  For one, the first minute that it was opened, we went CRAZY and spread positive energy around by running around with each other and we have these huge glass windows and it was just so amazing! I KNOW it sounds insane, but everyone should be able to start their day with that energy (this was just for opening day).

Secondly, it was so awesome working. Like i get to connect with people and there is no pressure and I believe in everything so much that it is just natural to talk to them! So… we get no commission this month.. but when I left, we had been open 3 hours and I had met my 6 hour goal.. so yeah…  So exciting to just love it!!! 

I love that people love it and positive energy is flowing and the community appreciates it too! 

Been busy and it is only Tuesday!

The Man is on his way over for dinner, I am making Bang Bang Shrimp, garlic/onion/zuchinni, and roasted potatoes.  I mean clearly I am worth keeping around… and I already made my choc chip cookies last night. 

The roomie got a upper resp infection from her boy, so i think the Man and i will be sleeping at his place. 

Store opens tomorrow!!- Really excited to go out into the community today and tell them about us, and to be part of it… really it is awesome :) 

Oh and I am cutting my hair on Thursday so look forward to that!!! 

Thankful

Sometimes I freeze time in my head. Sometimes I see your face, hear your laugh, see the way you look at me.. and I just pause that clip in time. But there is more.. I add in the reminder of how I feel and how I react. The way my heart actually illuminates when I see your name on my phone, hear your voice and see you smile. The way I know my face reflects the light and you know how I feel. You know what my little sounds mean, and yet you still get to learn the meanings to new sounds or looks. The way you quickly react thinking that you have bruised my ego in anyway when you have done the opposite.. you have proven to me that you understand me even if i don’t tell you everything about me. And when we verbally communicate, I somehow feel that the words ease my mind by reminding me that we are real, and you hear me when I don’t speak. We are common in our existence and anything but common together. 

I feel thankful today. I feel joyous and calm. I feel relieved and excited. We are given today to use. Each day is new and different in how we feel and act and we are given today to not allow ourselves to be still but to push on and exist beyond the past moment and to think about the moment we are in. 

To be present. 

EEEK signs!!!

So.. I just moved in with my friend Mandi yesterday and she is dating Volunteer Dan, which I met him volunteering and the next weekend he went to the farmers market with us which is when they met and was the same day that I had my first interview with Alex and Ani and BOOM today I got to see the store for the first time and PEOPLE THINGS ARE ALWAYS HAPPENING!! 

AHH i love the Universe/God so much and sometimes I wish I could physically hug them. 

So, yeah today went into work for 2 hours to see the new store. LOVE IT. Getting used to the Part Time work… really struggling with that. 

The Man is great as usual. Really people.. it’s just like great. 

So gonna prob make menu for the week, go to grocery store and I really need to look into new shoes. The floors at the store are really hard lifted tiles and we were hurting today… mind you we cannot wear sneakers/boat shoes/anything comfy, etc… so really need to get some decent shoes that aren’t flip flops and are stylish. #challengeaccepted

Big Day

Got done with training yesterday and drove home; was able to get some time in with The Man. He just bought a new motorcycle and it really is very nice! Left there and came home and spent some time with the sis, slept, got up and saw my crazy nephews (Oh i fucking missed them!) and now just applied for some more jobs (gotta keep applying bc work is only PT for now) and now I pack! My Popa and Uncle will be here this afternoon with my bed set and then I am moving into my friend’s house and YAY!

Soft taco Saturday with the Man, house to ourselves, MY BED (for first time!) and new sheets even. 

I noticed when i was saying goodbye to come home last night, the “L” word almost came out and then that in return freaked me out. Ugh, i haven’t even thought I felt that way… not that I COULDN’T, but.. I dunno what that was all about… I think I was tired and I am SO.GLAD.I didn’t actually say it because I would haven’t even known where it came from.. but I really Like him :) 

Tomorrow is our last day of training and we got them to switch us to the morning shift so that we can leave around 3 and head home (3 hours away)- all about that!

Things have been good here, went to dinner with most of my co workers tonight, i was the dd and second eldest (and only sober one). Should be fun lol, but they are all really awesome people- they said that they cannot believe I will be 30 this month, they said not a day over 24 (which is most of them) so HOLLA!

I CANNOT WAIT to be back home though! I am really looking into getting a little scooter to drive around town in. I mean, i cannot go over 50mph with the speed limits anyway and it will save HUGE on gas.. so getting to work and even to my sis and even The Man’s house… oh man, it will be great! So looking into getting one when I get back. 

The Man is getting a new motorcycle tomorrow (fingers crossed) and so I asked if we can still hang out and he said yeah we can hang, but I won’t be able to drive with you… it just doesn’t go that slow.. hahah 

AND AN AWESOME MOMENT*****  I took the money I had saved for the house that didn’t happen, that I kept for the move that didn’t happen and used it to pay off the debt I had accumulated over the months (years) and I am happy to say I feel like a grown up now! 

So many positives in life and I am loving every single one of them.. including the feeling of missing people. It is really great to be gone for a few days and to miss people and have them miss you and look forward to seeing them tomorrow… I mean my sis just got the Iphone5 and has been sending me pix of the babies and I am like OMG I AM GOING TO SQUEEZE THEM! 

So yeah… tomorrow, last day of training, setting up the store Sun-Tues and soft opening is Wed! Kinda cool to be part of the pioneers of something so much more than a retail chain. So.Much.More. 

hahah i thought i went in at 1 today and it is 12!!  I am already fucking up and it’s the third day… oye.

Sun cut short, off to shower now lol
