It's official...I'm an expert.

So, last night at work (American Eagle) I was informed that I was SO fashionable that they felt I needed to be promoted from Sales Associate to Jean Expert :)  I am very excited about this.  Not only because there are perks involved (which are top secret!!!) but because it is affirmation that I work hard and do a good job.  Working at a place like AE, this may not seem like a big deal.  But to me, it just shows what I am capable of in the future!!!  So excited :)  and we have some amazing jeans coming out very soon.  The company spent thousands and thousands of dollars in product development to give our customers higher quality jeans at the same reasonable price we've always had.  We also have some amazing jackets, dresses, tops, and accessories coming out.  The jewelry that is out now is AMAZING and I am lusting after it!
I am leaving for the beach on Friday.  I cannot wait.  I def haven't been as much this year as I usually have at this point and I can't wait to get out of town for a nice, long time.  *Unfortunately, I'll be missing the OFFICIAL first five days of being a Jean Expert but it's ok.  I have 7 and 1/2 more weeks to go.*  I get to see my amazing family and there will surely be a ton of laughs to be had.  I always joke that I am gathering material for future comedy routines...it maybe true too!  
On a side note, I feel like there is a tree branch in my eye :(  it hurts.  Badly.  

Big Love.

Kind of dropped the ball on this one...haha.

  Well, since no one that I am aware of reads this blog, it's no big deal that i haven't posted anything since Nov.  HAHA.  I def dropped the ball on this thing.  Luckily, my good friend Jordan said something about getting a blog when we trekked to see the AMAZING Dane Cook on Thurs.  Let me just say that Dane's show was the funniest thing I have ever been to live.  I laughed so hard and even though it was in an arena, i felt like he was talking right to me :)  He is a very talented comedian and people who hate him lose major points in my book.  Trends for me lately: well, i am STILL obsessed with scarves even though it is WAYYYYYYY too hot to be wearing them.  I really can't stop wearing them.  And when I have a heat stroke it will be my own fault.  Listening to The Cab is another big trend here lately.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE them.  Their music is happy and singable and fun and perfect for me and my life.  SUPER excited that I am finally going to see them live in July!!!  The Masquerade in ATL is about to meet Caro and they better watch out.  
I am going to use this as kind of a diary.  I am not going to post every detail of my life but I would like to be able to look back at this and remember what was going on at the time.  That being said, I need to address 2 things.
1) Michael Jackson died.  I am slightly distraught.  I love his music so much.  He is one of the first people I remember watching and thinking, "Wow, he can sing and dance but he is PERFORMING."  So inspirational.  I guess I always took for granted that one day my children would ask me about what crazy thing he was doing at the time.  I do know that I will put on the Thriller record and dance around the living room acting goofy just like me and my mom did so many times.  I don't really have any special memories with Michael that didn't involve singing too loudly or dancing crazy but I do know that I will go learn the entire Thriller dance very soon.
2)I have issues with rude people.  One of my friends in particular is being more and more rude lately and it really bothers me.  She is ditching lunch invites and making rude comments about things that I really love and just being inconsiderate in general.  This is really hard for me to stomach because, in all honesty, I really don't like hanging out with her anymore.  I have been her friend as long as I can remember and invite her when we do group things because that is what we have always done.  I am to the point where I don't really even consider her a friend anymore and that truly bothers me.  One thing I learned from MJ's death is that life is precious and there is no point in holding grudges or being petty.  It's about living life to the fullest.  So, I don't know if I will just totally over look what she has done to me but I do know that I am not going to confront her in the manner that I initially wanted to.  I don't want to stoop to her level.  I am not a rude person and I don't plan on being a redneck (in public) either.

So, now that I've done that...
-I will be at the beach July 3-12.  I am SOOOOO excited.  Living the good life.  I want to come back and look like a Native American Indian!!!  Yay.
-I get to choreograph a duet today.  I have wanted to do this piece for so long and I am thrilled that it is finally happening.  More on this later.  

I promise you, if there is anyone reading this, that I will have more posts very soon.  This is almost therapeutic and I really enjoy putting my thoughts down.

Big Love.
