I got my haircut today. The ends of my hair were really bugging me. They were getting all tangley and nothing annoys me more than not being able to run my fingers through my hair. Well, that's probably not the most annoy thing but it is annoying. Anyway, I've been having to dry my hair with a blow dryer and it seems to of make my hair drier. Then the fact that it is like 132 days without rain probably doesn't help the whole dry hair situation.

Anyway, after getting our cuts, me and Onyx let the Great Clips, and it smelled like rain out. But, there was no sign of rain. My car was still flithy and nothing was wet. Man, we could really use that rain. So why did it smell so much like rain? Did someone spray outside of great clips some after rain perfume. Could it of been sprinklers? I don't know, but I love that smell.

Although, here at times after it rains it smells like dirt. I know my first year here in this "heat" the smell after the rain made me cringe. It was an awlful dirty smell. I didn't like it, but I think I might of gotten use to it. I can't remember it smelling as bad as it did that first few times I saw rain here. Purhaps it was the area of town I was in that caused it to smell so strange.

Well anyway, I should get to bed. I can't wait to get to work tomorrow to see how things went at the photo shoot. I've been having to doing things on my own without much direction the last couple of days. I think I did well. I got out 3 or 4, no five projects to their respective printing places. It feels good to get some work out and done. Things shall go well.

Almost forgot I got my first check today, so now I can determine a budget. Yippie! Well, sort of. Living on a budget is hard, but I need to. I can't keep spending like I use to with my loan money. Actually, I did pretty good, so I'll be okay. Okay I'm really done now. Laters.

I just thought that I would post a photo of me. This is me about a week ago all dressed up for the Addy Awards.

Sundays are great because Grey's Anatomy is on. I can always count on that show to entertain me. Right now I'm just sitting here waiting. Normally, I get to watch Desperate Housewives before it is one, but not today. No, they had to put on the stupid Dancing with Stars in place of the crazy Housewives. So since I don't want to miss a moment of Grey's I've got the TV on the channel and I am catching bits and pieces of the Dancing. Drew, from 98 degrees better known as the brother of Nick who was married to Jessica Simpson is on the show. He and his dancing partner actually won the thing. Okay, I don't really care I just thought it was interesting that Drew did the show. I know it is just an atempt to move past his past as a boy band member, but I'm not sure any can ever recover from the Boy Band status.

That reminds me, did anyone catch the show on MTV where that Ashley guy a former "O Town" member is trying to make a CD, his girlfriend is pregnant and they are broke. All I can say, is he has come along way from his boy band time. His looks much hotter. It actually looks more like a guy then in the boy band days. He was pretty girly in those days, which wasn't good because his name is Ashley. From the few episodes I saw, his music sounded pretty good.

Oh does anyone remember the fake band MTV put together to make fun of Boy Bands. They had a song that went something like this "u+ me = us, i know my calculus". The band was called 2gether. Anyway, one of the boys died from some weird illness.

Well, my show is one must go.

I can get a lot done at work, but I can't seem to get anything else done nor is there anything I really want to do. Well, okay there is that book I want to write about my crazy life. No I haven't even got as far as listing the crazy things. And I guess they are crazy just weird and humorous stories that makes people glad they are not me. Anyway, that is besides the point. I don't seem to have any hobbies that really involve people.

I really need to join some type of club or something or at least do something with the club to which I belong which would be AIGA. Unfortunately, everytime there is an activity I forget or I already have plans to do something else. Next we there is a ulmuni mixer for my school so I will probably go to that, but I just don't have anything to do. Okay so I went out to dinner and saw a movie with a friend, but I was still home before nine.

Nine was good though, because I was able to get some things done. I made more Pita Pizzas. I cleaned up the kitchen a bit. I was able to talk to my parents some and tell them about some of the work I've been doing. They really like that I like work. They have confirmed that they are coming down for graduation, so that is cool. They will be here for almost a week, which would be even cooler if I didn't have to work.

I think I will at least try to get the day of graduation off. I want to be able to go to the graduates portfolio review and I want my parents to see what I had to do. Then there is the practice ceremony and the real one that day so that is a lot to fit in with work. Plus, they won't have a car while they are in town, so they will probably have to drop me off at work so they can do stuff while I work. Anyway, it will be good to see them again. I can't wait. I might have my own place by then. We'll see if I can find a decent place in the right area for a decent price.

Well, I think I'm gonna go to bed now. The sooner I sleep the sooner Friday will come and go not that I want it to go fast, but I love work. I want to be there. I think liking work so much is a bad sign. I'm gonna turn into a workaholic. Wait a minute, I was always a workaholic.

blueberi posted at 10:52 PM

I don't have much to write about. Things are going well. I wish I would of washed my clothes earlier today. I meant to, but I had to go help a friend with a project so I ended up not starting my clothes until like 9:30. Now I'm ready to go to bed and I have my clothes drapped all over my room to dry. It is times like this I wish I had a clothes line hanging from my walls.

I should of just not washed clothes tonight at all, but I felt good and ready to get going. I'm not even tired yet. I actually feel like running around. This is also one of the times I wish I had my old nintendo with the activity pad. I could play the track game where you race people. You have to do the hurdles, long jump, sprint and stuff. That was a blast. The closet thing to that would be the dance dance thing they have know. I would love to have that too. Any game that gets you off your butt and doing something is great. I love games and I would love them even more it if I got me moving.

Well, I think I'm gonna do some sit ups and see if I'm ready for bed soon. Laters.

Okay I have issues. I've said this before, but today definitely proved the point.

Last night's award ceremony was total crap. I knew not to get my hopes up about what award I was going to win, because I knew that in the end I would get upset about it. I knew that I wouldn't get the gold, but when I saw my work up on the board I actually thought hey maybe I didn't just get honorable mention or some crap. I thought maybe I got something better. I knew thinking this would be bad. But worse than that when I received the stupid award. It said.."Judges award for writing". The award was for the damn writing. Okay, let me tell you this. I tried really had to write copy for these stupid ads, but my teacher didn't like any of it. So all the copy in the ads, was done by my teacher, who was great. The award was actually for what he did. So all in all I paid $50 to enter the dumb things and spend more money on the dumb ceremony to find out that my teacher's writing skills were Addy material. I could of saved myself time, money, and all the anger cause I already knew he was great at what he does.

So anyway, I'm tired of all the talk and crap. Onyx's husband got a gold addy for his stuff, so it was "I got a fuckin' gold how awesome am I" vibe going on. Yeah, I wish it was me, but I'll never do that good. I hate being pushed. I never really wanted to be a great designer. I just want to be good enough and know that I don't do crap. I want good and okay not spectacular and that shit. It all comes with time and I have plenty of it. All I know is I love my job and that is good enough for right now.

So to get to the point, I was sick of it all and decided to show everyone just how I felt about the dumb award I got. I took the cheapo frame that the put the award in and threw it on the floor. Let's just say that we now know that part of the frame was glass and part was plastic. I don't usually get like this but with all of the changes and adjusting and crap I just kind of blew up. To be honest I didn't think it was going to break cause I thought it was all plastic.

Anyway, I've also been a little upset about how Onyx and hubby reacted to my idea of leavin'. You guys made it feel like if I left I would be making the biggest mistake every. Onyx, I know you guys want to help as much as you can and you want to see me save up some money, but I really think that I need to be by myself. I have totally appreciated everything. I just want to feel independent. I think that leavin in March would be the best time to leave. I will have a little bit of money and I'll have help from my parents and sister. You guys won't even need to help me move. Plus, my parents and sister will have a place to stay when they visit, so they will save money. After moving my things I'll move stuff back to the room for you guys so you won't have to do anything.

Well, I feel better. Anyway, I have a free day tomorrow. Happy President's Day Everyone.

Okay, so I meant to post yesterday, but for some reason my computer is not liking the blogger site very well. Everytime I try to post it takes like a gazillion minutes to open up the page to type my post. It is so annoying. I just want to type something and the damn this won't let me. Anyway, I had a great thing to write about, but all I can remember is what I wrote to remind myself about what to write.

First of all I was going to write about work and how great it is. I've been going to lunch with people from work. They are all so funny that I almost choke on my food when they are talking. I would repeat some of the convos we have had, but I don't want someone getting mad or flagging my site. I know that there are so many laws about sexual harassment and stuff, but to me it seems like no one really cares. I know I don't. I think that people are to sensitive these days. Talk is talk. It would only be bad if we actually did the stuff we joke about. Even then, the naked pool party would be funny. Although, I wouldn't want to be naked.

Well, I think I'm gonna get ready for bed. Yeah, I know it is Friday night, but I do have to weigh in tomorrow morning.

So Onyx and I just started a new blog to talk about our dieting so we don't bore every one to death talking about it. Hopefully, we can entertain as well as help share the joys and pains of changing our lifestyles and becoming healthier. Okay so my ultimate reason to lose weight wasn't necessarily for health, but it is one reason. I look at my parents and I know I don't want to end up like that, so I know I need to lose some weight. I also thought that getting a boyfriend would be a lot easier if I looked better and felt better about myself. Anyway, enough is enough just check out the blog if you want.

On another note, I started my job today and I loved it. I got to have lunch on company dime. We enjoyed some yummy thai food. I can't remember what kind of soup we had, but it definitely cleared out the sinuses. I also had some thai coffay, which was basically a really good coffay iced with i'm thinking it was coconut milk, but I'm not sure. Whatever it was it was good.

Well, I think that is all for me today. Friday, the DATE MOVIE comes out in the theaters. I can't wait to see it. That reminds me, I need to find out when the movie, Just Friends, comes out on DVD. I'm am so going to buy that movie.

Well, I made it back from New Mexico in one piece and I managed to make it through Valentine's Day unharmed. Not that I really get harmed on Valentine's Day, but usually the day consists of seeing numerous people get presents and I receive none. Not today, because I was nowhere where presents would be given. I was driving most of the day, which is better but still not an ideal day.

When I woke up this morning, I was sad because I had wanted to sleep in, but atlas went I awoke it was 8 am. :( So I decided to get dressed and get ready to leave. I ended up leaving around 9:30, but it was 10 before I actually hit the freeway. In the course of my long journey back, I had gulpped down a coffee, a lime flavored diet coke and popped a dose of no dose. So I'm sure I was over the legal limit of caffine that is if there was a limit. I was so hopped up on caffine, I didn't want to drive, but instead I wanted to dance. Since I had to drive, I managed to combine driving with a bit of dancing, which really means I sang and tapped one the steering wheel.

Anway, now that I'm home I really am tired, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep. Right now one of the puppies is scratching at my door. They know I'm awake, but I don't want to let them in. Maybe if I stop typing they will leave me alone. I think I'll try that. So laters for now.

blueberi posted at 9:56 PM

The search is over. I begin my new job on Wed. Yippie! Finally, I get to put to work what I've been learning the last four and a half years. Meanwhile, I'm going to take a short vacation and maybe visit my aunt in New Mexico. I've been trying to plan how to get there to visit. Now I know for sure that I can for a few days. Well, I don't have a whole lot to say.

Did I write about how none of my clothes fit anymore. Okay they still fit, but they are all pretty big except for a few things that still seem tight. For example, the cool shirt my sister got me from M&M world is still to tight. Now this shirt is suppose to be a XXL. I'm beginning to think it was a children's size or something. Anyway, the shirt is way cool and I'll still wear it, I just need to wear it with a jacket. I know I had more to write on here, but I can't remember. I'm going to be taking a break from this until I start my job. After that, I'll try to write everyday again. Well, laters.

So I've been pretty busy lately but I'll save you the long and boring details. So today I was at a coffee place waiting to meet someone for an interview. I couldn't help but over hear some people talking and this one girl said, "i'd like to be retired by the time i'm 27." I thought wow that is a difficult goal. Most people these days figure that they are just gonna work 'til death. Well, that is what I think.

Anyway, this got me thinking. What kind of job does one have to have in order to retire at 27? I looked over at here. I'm thinking she is probably already somewhere around 25. She didn't look like she was much of a professional. I'm baffled. What makes her think that this goal is even obtainable? I guess I can't stay it isn't a good goal, but why 27. Why not thirty? Actually, what the hell are you gonna do if you don't work? Are you gonna travel or go back to school for something else? What?

While this has been bugging me, so has something else. As I sat waiting at the coffee place, I saw a newspaper. I think it was the Arizona Republic. As I was looking through it, I came across the obituary pages. Now for some reason, I've always be drawn to Obits. I'm not sure what it is, but I like to read about these people I don't know. I like to see why they died. I think this is sick of me. Anyway, I usually check out the ages of the people and look to see what the cause of death was. I found it odd that the younger people deaths never stated a cause.

I can't image why you would leave out the cause of death unless the family is assamed of how this particular family member died. So first thing I think is suicide. Or maybe drugs. Or car accident, but car accident is just that accidental. I don't know. But it was also strange because, they would say. This day this person was called home by god or something similar. Anyway, this is kind of a morbid topic and I should probably get ready for bed soon. Laters.

blueberi posted at 9:13 PM

Okay so I thought I should update you all with the job hunting. Of course, ya'll are probably sick of hearing about my no monay, no job situation, but I don't care. This is all I have to talk about. So tomorrow, I'm going in for a second interview with one company and a first interview with a new company which I just applied for on Friday. Anyway, I hope all goes well, the second interview is good, cause that means I have a good shot. I'm also glad they are both tomorrow, cause that way I only dirty one outfit.

So other than that today, I painted my nails and managed to fit in as much junk food as possible on my diet while still only using 24 pts. That's right. I have mastered the point system and I can still eat some yummy things. My food intake consisted of cupcake, pei wei lettuce wraps, cupcakes, a candy bar, piece of pizza lasanga, cupcake, soda, and more pop. I also had some cherry peppers, but those are like free so they don't really count.

Anyway at pei wei, I noticed that I seem to have received less food. Okay, so everytime I eat there it is the same thing so I know how much I usaually get and that is what I should get. Today, I only got four lettuce wraps and I didn't even have to stuff them that full. Normally I get five lettuce wraps which I stuff them about the same as the ones today, so I was like missing a whole wrap and that amount of filling. I was a bit bummed, but they were delicious as always. Man, I love the sweet chili sauce there.

Well, I should get to bed I have an early morning for me. Laters.

blueberi posted at 10:11 PM

Somehow part of my show "grey's anatomy" got recorded, which was wonderful. Anyway, right when it was getting to the good stuff my phone rang. Because everyone is sleeping or trying to, I'm like crap my phone is loud and I try to run to stop it. So I screwed up the show thing. I had paused it previously which only minutes earlier it said there was 30 mins. left and things seem fine. Then I paused it to go get the phone and after I got back from the phone it was recording a different channel and it was news or something. No I can't figure out how to get back to the show. Now I'm going to have to wait until next Sunday to see what happened.

So after this happened I decided to finish getting ready for bed. While in the bathroom, my phone rings again. Why does my phone ring when everyone is in bed but me? Actually, it is nice to have people call though. I wish people called more often cause I hate to use the phone. Anyway, the second call was my aunt, cause I called earlier about coming to stay or visit. I can't decide what to do. I think maybe I should just go visit for a bit and get a feel for things, while I wait to see if the jobs I interviewed for want me. I don't know.

Well anyway, ever since I graduated, I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. I have never wanted to cry so much before. I'll be talking to someone and then minutes later I'm about ready to burst into tears. It just happened tonight talking to my aunt. And early today talking to one of my roommates, Friday talking to my mom, I actually did cry. I hate this. Whenever it happens I just shut down and try to stop the tears from coming. Did I mention that I cried after graduation? The just kind of threw us to the wind. Saying see ya' later suckers. Maybe it is the uncertianty or the fact that I don't know what to do? (isn't that the same?) I don't know. Hell, I can't even answer when someone asks me what my hobbies are. I love to pretty much anything. Someone just has to ask. I'll try most things with in reason.

Okay well, I've got a book to finish, so that I can start in on my new book. Laters all.

Onyx and me took two of the puppies to the vet today. We were put in a small room with them and they tried to excape everytime the door opened. The room was full of stinky puppy that you didn't notice unless you left and then came back. After this we got ourselves latte's which was a nice pick me up since we were tired from getting up early to go to weight watchers.

This week I managed to lose 1.6 lbs. Which I thought I hadn't done. I thought if anything I stayed the same. I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm sick. I thought that losing weight would help with my back pain. Well, it hasn't. I think that it might actually be worse than before. I also thought that it would help my confidence, but that has yet to really happen. I know that I look better and people have noticed, but I don't think I feel any different. I know that maybe working out might help, but between the looking for a job and the interviews that turn out bad to the ones that seem okay, I just don't know what to do.

I would go out walking during the day, but where. I try the wondering stores, but I either end up trying clothes on and they don't fit right, or I end up buying something. Either way, I don't have have the money to be buying anything so the fact that nothing fits good is a good thing, yet it is annoying. Anyway, I think now would be a good time to find a nice little black dress. In a couple weeks is the awards ceremony and I think a little black dress would be good for that. Although the thing maybe more of a casual event, so maybe a dress would not be the thing for that. I have all my skirts packed away and that is somewhere beneath numberous other boxes.

I'll probably get a storage unit this week and put all my stuff in it. just a small one, so that my room isn't so well full of boxes. It's not that it is bad it is just incase, I need to leave in a hurry and can't take it all with me. Well, I'm off for now. I'll talk to you all laters.

blueberi posted at 2:16 PM

I thought I would just leave a quick little note here. I just had a phone interview, which was good, but I'm not what they need right now. But they may want me in March. Anyway, they really liked the style of my work. Well, I need to get ready for another interview, so I guess I'll write more later.

Oh yeah, I went to Big Momma's House 2 last night. It was good. Not what I usually see, but it was funny. It would be a good movie to rent when it comes out.

blueberi posted at 2:13 PM

Today was a busy day. I had two interviews and went to the school to talk about my portfolio. I managed to squeeze in dinner with a friend, talk to two friends on the phone, stop by financial aid and try to figure things out, talk to my parents, and create flash thank yous to send out to interviewers. Unfortunately, I didn't get the thank yous to work right, however, I got an email today saying that I won an Addy for one of my ad campaigns. I'm not sure what I won, but apparently I won something. I guess I'll be going to the ceremony. It is only $20, so that's not bad.

The interviews went well, but I got no offers. One said that they probably call for another interview. The other said they like me but I wasn't exactly what he needed. He is gonna pass my info along to someone that might be able to help. Anyway, I exhausted and I think I'm gonna go to bed. I wish I had more interesting things to write on here. Lately, my posts have been uncreative wrap ups of what is happening. I hope to write some fun interesting stories someday, but atlas nothing interesting has really been happening.

Until next time, make some lemonade.
