Whats on your spring wishlist?

Today was fun! I felt awesome this morning so I ventured out with my gluten free snacks in my Vera Bradley clutch and headed to Target and  the mall. I found the black t-shirts I need for work and some gatorade for $1 each. Then off to the mall.  Now after working at the mall about 3 years, I have noticed that  the mall has been becoming more and more delapadated over time and its kinda not where I want to go to shop. Stores are closing and there are empty suites and its really depressing. None the less, the stores I want to look in, are still there. Thank you Pink Nation for 7 for 25.50 underware this weekend! I ventured into Francesa's and found a couple of cute things but I couldnt bring myself to spend $44 dollars on a fancy shirt I have no idea when  I was going to wear. They had a notebook that said 'Life' on it so I was curious about it and I opened it up and it was a journal where you log what you eat, when you went to the gym, ect. That is exactly like the Life Handbook I have to keep track of what foods I eat and if they agree with my new Gluten lifestyle; I also keep track of when I go to the gym, where I can find certain foods and all my log ins and passwords for the websites I go to frequently.
 After awhile of windowshopping, I came to the conclusion, nothing is more going to say ' buy me! buy me!' besides Auntie Annies Pretzels, which I cannot possibly eat or I wont be feeling that well.

Currently I'm watching Sydney White and comtemplating my life. I decided my next big purchase will be a house or renting a house with an option to buy. I figured this because I already bought a car, I have my dream phone, the elusive white iPhone 4, I have a bed, a computer but I am living with my parents- Which I absolutely LOVE and my parents LOVE me being here but in the future I do want to have my own little house, nothing big- just big enough for me- 2 bedroom, a kitchen, laundry room, living room, just basic things. I would love to have a little beach house.

Though the house is years off but i like that I keep goals in my mind. It keeps me on my feet and my priotierties in line, I just want a happy life. thats it. =D

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

My first two days back in my retail job went actually really well.  A mother and daughter came and they were in desperate need of a bathing suit top. The daughter was extremely self conscious and they couldnt find a bikini top to fit her correctly. Luckily after about 8 bikini tops we finally found one that fit her perfectly and she felt so much better. The mother was so thankful that I took time and helpped them out because the mother was running out of options and the daughter was having a graduation (high school) pool party on Sunday and they had no idea where else to turn. The daughters outlook from the time she came in to the time the mother and daughter left had completely changed for the better. The mother and daughter told my manager that i took time to really help them and they appriciated it so so much and the daughter said it made her summer. ::cue a tear coming out of my eye because i was so touched by this:::
Other than that retail really didnt change that much other than the product placements and new products.

My stomach , on the other hand is still wonky. =( 
I had a lazy day today that consisted of playing angry birds on my iPhone, watching the sentencing of Casey Anthony, Cops, Jail, and sleeping. it was fantastic. I love my lazy days.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get to the gym, Staples to look at a new desk chair and CVS to get my Quartley extrabucks. exciting life right!?

You gotta keep your head up...
