Did you know Marie Antoinette never actually said the phrase, *Let them eat cake?*
It was a big rumor made up by the people because they hated her.
Nice little random fact for you guys.
Anyhow, I just finished watching 10 hours worth of Ace of Cakes.
I do wish I were a cake designer/maker. Lets just get that out right now.
Yes, I have actually thought about registering myself for cake making classes etc. and I might pursue this career if ever I am at a loss... However, I will just have to live vicariously through Ace of Cakes and Amazing Wedding Cakes. Cake Boss is just a little too obnoxious for me, sorry.
(For some reason I cannot add a picture to this post -.- )
Family.....
I love my family, I really do. So why is it...that I cant stand being with them for longer than an hour???? I don't know. Honestly, I really don't.
My brothers wedding is on Monday. Ive had a lot of stress about his wedding and I cant wait for it to be here and over with. In the midst of my promotion I got changed stores and the days I requested off got bumped down to *not priority* and the major day I needed off, my brothers wedding day, was not given to me. I was scheduled to work until an hour before my brothers wedding. I bought a really simple dress, because I was going to get my hair done and do the jewelry thing...anyhow....so I finally found someone to cover my shift, thankfully, and that stress has been put to rest. Now its just relax time! Well...not really.
I haven't been running. I was doing so good, but I stopped for like 3 days and now its turned into 3 weeks....Every day I tell myself Im going to start again and so far nadya. Fuck. Is all I have to say to all of it. I want to be fricken skinny and everyday I wake up with the intention of never eating again. Im like...k today is the day I start being anorexic and somehow I end up buying a slice of chocolate cake and eating it all???? HAHAHA Im a terrible failure. But one way or another I plan to lose this extra poundage. I will. I swear.
Joes 21st birthday is next week! Luckily, I was given off the day!!! However, I have no idea what to do for him! I bought about 10,000 balloons, streamers and banners. So I'm definitely going to decorate the house crazy kind!
Ive bought two items so far, but I want to buy a bunch of little presents, so he has lots to open....I need ideas. Hes a homebody, he likes video games and computers. Im going to make him a cake- I just decided this..I can finally test out my cakery skills. mwaha. OKAY. I Ammm..going to go plan this thing.

The Interview with a Werewolf
*Look I’m sorry.* He brought me close to his face; I turned my head away from his. The heat of his skin tickled my body and I closed my eyes. I knew what I had to do, but I wasn’t ready. He started kissing my neck gently his grip loosening on my elbow and soon his hands were searching my body. I just stood there with my eyes closed; my arms limp at my side. He began to unbutton his pants and was in the midst of pulling them down when I ran out the door....
Ive decided to keep myself accountable to my writing goal of 3 pages per day - I am going to starting posting little excerpts of my writing from those 3 pages.
My meeting went well. I am officially getting promoted (which doesn't excite me THAT much since I already knew it would happen) but heres a quick recap of my interview....
Music blasts through my stereo as I drive into town. My eyes dash to the clock, whew I should just make it there on time. I start singing along to LA Roux, but then quickly remind myself I must think of situations for the questions shes going to ask. I start talking to myself. *What is one thing you would change about your current store?* *What was one of your most difficult customers and why?* *What color panties are you wearing and why?* I zip through the questions, but start internally freaking out. What if she asks me this one or that one? What would my answer be. I’m finally parked. I have no extra time to prep myself, the time is now. I jump out of my car and dodge the oncoming traffic. I throw in too many quarters in the meter - only to read after that it’s a one hour limit so I just wasted about 6 quarters for no reason. Damn. I walk as quickly as my pencil skirt allows into the building, where I am graciously seated by the receptionist. I go over my notes, but by now my nerves are starting to set in.
There she is my manager. I follow her to her office where we sit and I make a few nervous remarks to her questions of how I am doing at my new store. I can hear my voice shaking and I'm trying to clear my throat of the nerves. I gulp. She grabs a piece of paper and begins the interrogation. *Where were you on the night of the 25th?* I answered the first question rapidly. My nerves now caused me to get excited and I was running out of breath because I had so many answers rehearsed. The second question was similar and I answered it okay, however, I faltered and I didn’t make eye contact like I had wanted. FOCUS! The third question was a blow. CRAP CRAP CRAP I didn’t rehearse this question, I don’t have a situation ready, focus. Don’t say um. Be professional. Think fast. Shit. Think.Words came out and she only wrote 3 words for that question and readily moved on to the next sensing my loss of words. The rest followed in almost the same manner. I tried to recover quickly, but for the most part the questions were nothing like I had anticipated. The whole interview process was probably 15 minutes and I was out of there. Good news though she told me I did great and was a lot better this time. I sounded confident. (I did?..oh...good) Now it’s time for a back round check...god I hope that guy I killed in Kansas doesn't show up on my records...

Jitters
Okay. So I went to bed at 1am. I woke up at 6am. I have a huge interview this morning with my district manager >< Im so nervous, but I really want to nail it and bring it all to the board. I hope I can do that.
Thats really whats on my mind at this point and time and once this is over it will be a huge relief
Not much else to say. Im a little stressed because of this meeting, my family being here and the wedding. The days I requested off werent given to me and i have to close the store sunday night and then open it monday morning (the day of my brothers wedding) I really needed that day off and now Im also going to miss their rehearsal dinner. Oh well :(

Smiles
I finally went running. I took a little break for 2 weeks? yikes. But Im back to the old routine. I really hate running. But I have no other way of getting myself to feel confident and happy in my own skin, so I guess its worth it.
I gotta go to work soon - which im also dreading. SO boring and being bored for 8 hours...on top of that i just realized Im closing the store so I get off at like 10:30pm, but then my shift tomorrow starts at 6am... thats not fair!
I dont have much to say today. All I did was go running and pick up the house. I didnt even read :( Maybe ill go do that for an hour before I gotta go
Peace out

Ta Da!
So I wasnt going to change my whole blog layout... (although it didnt change that much, just the colors) I got this bright idea to invert the colors of my background and give myself a big of a change!
I like it. Anyhow - I spent most of the morning working on the layout.
Then I worked on my interview questions. My official interview is this Friday at 9am. I cant tell you how nervous I am. Its weird though, because I don't get nervous until I am sitting there and the first question gets asked and I seriously PANIC. I have like a minor anxiety attack and it even happened today when my store manager went over a mock interview with me. She asks the first question and I totally freeze up. I did better on my mock interview, but the advice she gave me was to be more confident in what I was saying. BLAH
I feel confident in doing - not in telling. I might let my district manager know that on Friday before the meeting lol.
Ive also.. started working on a new little writing project. I dont want to jinx it yet, but ill post some of it when I get far enough.
Thats all for now. I just finished working and im hyper.

My Booky Nook
So for the past couple of days Ive been working on a little project.... Im putting together this rather lame website that is going to catalog the books Ive read etc. Im rating books, reviewing books Im currently reading (so every time I finish a book I review it on my front page) Im posting my current reading list and also other popluar books...Idk its quite silly especially since nobody will visit it, but at least it will be sort of a catalog for my books. An online bookshelf :)
I was playing some vocabulary games last night online and I found a really good one that tests what your vocabulary range is and then if you get the words wrong it gives you the definition. Also theres a spelling bee quiz on there and thats how I found out that I am a terrible speller. I kind of knew this. I know what words mean and how to use them, but some words I had a hard time spelling! I felt rather disappointed in myself I must admit. Im a little above an *average* speller (but not by much) and Im in the 600s for my vocabulary (out of 800) so I mean, thats not bad. Im going to go on there like every day! :)

Theres the link if you'd like to try it for yourself.
Today is Fathers Day - obviously. I have to go to dinner tonight at my familys house....funnnnnnnnnn (not)
I love my family, I really do, but sometimes you can only take so much of them. Which is pretty sad since I don't even live with them and rarely see them. I'm pathetic and now I feel ashamed about myself and how I never see my family.... did I mention my sister is flying in on Wednesday???? I'm sooo excited. Its been 3 years since Ive seen her (shes probably the only family person - besides my mom- that I can hang out with and not want to shoot myself half way through) We*re going to spend so much time together I cant wait!!
Ummm. there was..oh yes. So my official interview is on Friday morning! (for my promotion, I'm getting my promotion I just have to have an interview, but it should go fine *fingers crossed* )
Anyhow I got totally distracted and didnt even remember I was making a post...lol its time to go!

SLUT
* I LOL at sluts* nough said.
Anyhow, moving on the important things... such as the movies!! :D I went to see Get Him To The Greek last night. Fricken funny as hell. Just so you know. Toy Story 3 comes out today and although for some reason Toy Story freaks me out....(I have no idea why) Joe REALLY wants to see it, so we might be going tonight. :O Fun fun.
I finally choreographed my hula for my brothers wedding. It didnt take very long because the song is actually quite short (hmm...maybe that had a LITTLE something to do with why I chose it...just sayn)
Im dancing to Andy Willams The Hawaiian Wedding Song. Its actually pretty (the song - not my dance) haha
I still have to tape myself dancing it so I dont forget the steps etc -.- I have problems with that for some reason. If someone, other than myself, teaches me a made up dance etc, I can totally remember, but if I make up my own everything I end up completely forgetting what I had decided upon and practiced the next time I practice. lol Granted, Im not very good at making myself practice so maybe that has something to do with it? Probably.
Im just relieved to have that part over with - now I just need to actually practice I have like 2 weeks! July 5th is their wedding date, CRAZY. Then I will be the only child unwed. Oh gawd. It should be awhile before I get married it seriously freaks me out a bit to think that Im totally eligible to be engaged/married... but -.- not in that way since obviously im in a long term relationship and I dont be eligible to ANYONE - I just mean I wouldnt be considered crazy.... like people get married all the time in their 20s -.- God, does anyone else have problems with their age? Like I dont feel like Im about to be 20 at all. I use to think 20 meant like..idk being grown up. HA grown up, I still feel like im 13. It hit me though, mainly with my new promotion, that Im not really 13 anymore. Lifes coming at me fast and I dont know if I can drink it in all at once.
I need to have a conversation with Joe about some technicalities in our relationship. Mainly, plans for the future seeing as...I dont really want to be living with his family for the rest of our lives? :) Not that its bad as of right now, because right now there could be nothing better than my nice cozy living arrangement. I go to school and work full time and I dont have to pay rent. :) However in a couple years Ill be applying for internships etc and then Ill have to leave my second nest.
I apologize for rambling so much....Im just sort of thinking...in type.
On a very random note. I really want a better vocabulary/ spelling.... so um, anybody got any suggestions as to how I should go about this? Any games, websites, books etc that you can recommend?
Thats all for now.... I think....I have a lot more to say, but lets not waste anymore time....
