Good and crazy is a nice combo

Sooooooo many things have been going on in the past week. All good though, so let me tell you about it. I'll go by days, since that'll make it a little less crazy, lol.

Mon: Get asked if I wanna go to Philly by my friend Katelynn, who wants to go see The Wanted (a british boy band, specifically to see Jay) and I decide I should get out of town.

Tues: Find out my bf, that was supposed to have been in Woburn until June, was gonna drive 2 hrs just to see me on thursday. Happiness.

Wed: Normal, good close.

Thurs: Apartment cleaning, Nam comes into town, we spend all day outside and then eating lots and lots of food (well me anyway, lol), floorset during the night.

Fri: Nam leaves :( Later that afternoon I FINALLY get to ride Willow (the horse at my new apt, which I've been wanting to ride for weeks now), good close @BBW.

Sat: Sleep in (thank goodness), work close. Help hispanic lady and her mom find her husband and kids after the mall had closed. Go to Noho w/Amanda and Brittany, return and get to sleep around 3 am

Sun: Open @Sbux, pick Katelynn up, we set off at 5 and go to NJ and stay @ my uncle's house.

Mon: go to Philly, spend most of day wandering around, get dinner w/her friend and sleep in hotel, missing a flight the boys were supposed to come in on Tues....

Tues: go to boys' hotel, do a little meet + greet (they're all very nice, and gorgeous), go to concert hall, where the tickets at that time were 50 bucks, but we were only gonna see one act, and I wasn't gonna spend that, so while Lauren and Katelynn were at a concert, I went to a bar by the Phillies' game @ Xfinity live, and went into the PBR (Pro Bull Riding) bar, where the second song they played was "God Bless Texas". I was meant to be there, obviously. Right before I met up w/the girls I rode a mechanical bull, and had fun w/that. During the bull ride the song playing was "Jose Cuervo" (also meant to be), and then we all went to the airport to see the boys off. End up staying the night in Jersey @ Slaur's place.

Wed: Leave Jersey @ 7a, get stuck in traffic in NYC, and we make it to Mass by abt 1pm. I close that night.

Thurs: Decide that it will be the last day I attempt to call Dave's (for a job), but this time I get directly connected to Dave, and then have an interview @ 2pm. It goes very well. :) He tell's me I'll get a call the next day, if not that afternoon. My new phone (HTC One X) comes in (my phone has been horrible lately. During my trip it didn't work almost at all...) after being out of stock at the warehouse for a few weeks. Then, a 2 1/2 hr workout, then hangout.

Fri:  General Manager calls me, and we set up an interview for 2pm as well, and we basically talk for about 2 hrs, and I meet the asst manager as well as one of their long-term employees. I should be a part of their team on a part-time basis for a while before getting a full time position. I'll be training at Hadley, where Dennis (GM) said they were all awesome peeps.


That has been my good crazy last week. :)  Coming up... one of my best friends, Masha, will be coming back to Amherst in June, and I haven't seen her in about a year and a half, so I'm excited. Also, Nam will be coming back to visit in June, and we're gonna watch the premiere of Brave. I'll be moving in to my apartment this week (which, I was supposed to have done these last 2 days, but... that hasn't exactly happened....) Well, there you go, you are filled in. :D

Aaaaaaaalllllllllrighty Then

Soooo, there's a lot catch up on that has been happening in the last month or so.

I have my art hanging in the Springfield starbucks (except my supernova, which will be put up there soon), and next month it will be hanging in the noho starbucks. I still have to work on getting that painting done for the mexican restaurant. I got sick the week I was gonna do it, so now I have to catch up.

Speaking of being sick, somehow I caught a cold, and now that I'm over most of it I still have a pretty bad cough some of the time. However, I still haven't felt well enough to go to the gym. What this means is that since I'm expending less energy, I have a very decreased appetite, and since I'm still going to work and stuff, this may be the final step I need for my bikini body. ;) So, as soon as I get back to my usual 4x a week gym schedule, I'm going to eat either cereal or vitamin protein shake for breakfast, start bringing my own lunches to work, and try to get my meals with real food.

There's a guy who has recently waltzed into my life. We're not officially bf/gf yet, buuut, it'll prolly happen. I met him about 2 weeks ago, and this is the fastest I've ever gotten to know/have interest in someone. It's super wierd to me how fast it's all happening, but people call it "natural". I still don't get it, but we'll see what happens. :) Among many things, he is a runner, so hopefully he'll go to the Warrior Dash with me. (since I was talking about all that training, lol.) Unfortunately, he lives in the dorms at UMass, which means that he moved out yesterday from Amherst and will be in Woburn (or something) until June when we're gonna meet up to see Brave. Grrr.

As far as work has been going, I was really, seriously close to quitting a few weeks ago. But, since I'm moving this month and have other bills going around that I have to pay for, I decided to not quit just yet. However, I have recently applied for Manager / Asst. Manager at a pet store, and after submitting my resume, I got a reply from the owner about coming in some time to chat. I really really would love this position, and think it would be a perfect fit for me. The only part that's nervewrecking is waiting for that email or call as to when we could actually meet face-to-face. Pray for me!

I will also be moving this month to Granby. It's kinda off the side between Amherst and Holyoke (Rt. 202), but it's a little more towards the country. There is a horse in the backyard I will be exercising often, and the landlady says I can bring Mushu. :) Soooo happy! I also got a really really good deal on rent, so this will save me at least 100 a month.

I believe that's it....may not be, but I'll update soon.
