you only see these things working in retail...

So the other day, I was one of the cashiers and I look up at the line that had quickly formed and I see a mother and son. The mother has some beauty product and the son was looking down at what looked like was a portable game. I then realized it was a cellphone and he was looking so intently at it,  I wondered what he was playing. Then his mother says to the boy " great job! You did it" at this point I was still clueless what he was playing. A girl, in her twenties, was waiting behind the boy and the mother and her boyfriend was looking down at his iPhone so intently just like the son was. I didnt think anything of it and the mother said something to the son about angry birds, and the boyfriend behind him, piped up and said "oh im playing that too". After saying that  he quickly got back to his game. This whole conversation made me giggle and made me wish I had a camera because it was just like a kodak moment to see a young boy and a grown up playing angry birds so intently.

Also, Im trying to think of a way to make some cash on the side of working retail and hopefully my full time job in the fall. I want something that i can make my own hours and do something that is worthwhile and people would pay for.

So goodnight moon,
And goodnight you,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without...

Saturday's make me smile

Today was a good day. I felt so much better, my stomach felt so much better and I even went to the gym for 50 minutes and did cardio!

Lately I have been obsessed with playing Angry Birds on my iPhone. I downloaded Free Angry Birds, Angry Birds Lite, Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Seasons to start out with. I got 3 stars on each level in each game (except in Angry Birds Seasons- Christmas Level 2 and 3- They are really really hard!!!!!!) After I conquered all those levels I finally spent the 99 cents and purchased the paid Angry Birds and I have 3 stars in Level 1 and half of Level 2 in Poached Eggs. I was never a video game kind of kid but now that I am 23 years old I cannot stop playing this game!

Tonight is the Lockup Marathon on MSNBC and I am so excited. My parents do not understand why I love to watch this show. Its about Jail. And my parents cannot fathom why I watch Cops and Jail so much either.

Tomorrow I hope to head to Target and the Mall to celebrate that I am finally feeling better. I really do not need anything but I do need new black tshirts  for my retail job (we have to wear all black and black doesn't wash that well unless you wash it in Woollite specially made for darker clothing.)
I do have a merchandise credit at Forever 21 because I returned a retro romper that I bought that I thought looked good on in the store but not so good at home. Of course they do not give refunds so I had to get either a merchandise credit or exchange it for something. I really didn't find anything that I wanted/needed right then and there so I opted for the credit.
There is a new store- Francesca's which I have been in and gave it a quick look through but never really had time to stop and really look in there..

Oh boy, another day, another lesson learned, another moment to cherish has passed.

i do now recall the smell of the rain
fresh on the pavement, i ran off the plane
that July 9th the beat of your heart
it jumps through your shirt, i still feel your arms
