I’m Back!

July 15, 2010

Hey guys! I’m back from my trip to Jacksonville. It was a great trip and I was able to see a lot of family that I don’t get to see too often. We didn’t really do anything special, we just had some cookouts for the entire family and we mainly hung out with my aunts and cousins that I am more familiar with. My dad’s sisters were all there (3 of them) along with most of their children (my cousins). We went shopping at a flea market and outlet malls. I got some cute shoes from Charlotte Russe for $10. I abstained from shopping because I’m trying to spend less money right now.

That was about it when it came to our trip. I got a bit of a tan in the Florida sun which was nice. I’m just glad that I’m not prone to burning. We also stopped by Savannah on the way home but it was way too hot to stay long. It was a good thing we left when we did because not 10 minutes later and it was pouring down rain. :D

Anyway, we came back on Tuesday and I spent Wednesday being lazy. I always feel tired coming back from a trip. Is that just me? lol Anyway, today I did some shopping and dropped off some dry cleaning. Finally I went to watch ‘The Last Airbender’. I got some mixed reviews about it, some liked it and some didn’t. I never watched the anime so maybe that’s why I liked it, I don’t have anything to compare it to. Tomorrow I have plans to get my car detailed and maybe I’ll go see ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’. I may as well enjoy the rest of my vacation before I have to go back to work on Sunday. :/

Aside from that I also want to stop by the bank. I’ve officially decided to stop letting my finances getting away from me. I’ve stopped spending as much as I used to and I’ve stopped using my credit cards all together. I’ve payed two of them off all together and I’m working on the rest. It’s just hard to pay off multiple credit cards and a student loan, all with their own interest rates. I’m going to see if I can get a personal loan so I can pay off everything and only pay one loan to pay off. It will make things much easier plus hopefully help to raise my credit score. Wish me luck!

Busy, busy, busy!

April 4, 2009

Spring Break is here! Not that it’ll be much of a break, but I’ll be raking in the money for sure. :D So, for the next week I’ll be at work everyday renting cars, but I think it’ll be fun. As long as the new guy doesn’t fuck anything up too badly. I’ll be working 10 hour days so I may not be on too much, unfortunately. Today was boring though. Not too many reservations although people kept calling in last minute for suv’s and vans. I don’t know why people think they can get anything this late in the game. Other people have been planning for months if not the whole year!

In other news, the movie yesterday was awesome! :D I was upset that I didn’t see more of some characters, but at least everyone was in it. I especially loved the music from the movie. I’ll need to find the soundtrack for it. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel were particularly hot in the movie, but that’s not a surprise. :D Every time I see a movie like that it makes me want to learn how to drive a stick. My dad promised to teach me if I could find a decent but cheap manual car. We’ll have to see how that goes. lol

Good Week

March 30, 2009

Have you ever just had the feeling that this week is just going to be great? I have that feeling today. :D This Monday has already been great so far. No problems in class and work is going great so far! No shortage of cars, so customers being assholes, not a normal Monday that’s for sure. I’m just so happy that I can relax!

Another reason I’m so happy is that this is my last week before Spring Break! So nothing really major is going on in classes except getting ready for finals, which I’m pretty confident for. Then next week I don’t have to get up early, I only have to worry about work. Which I’m excited for because Master’s Week is like the only time I look forward to coming work. My commission check is going to be amazing! People love to spend money during Masters.

Anyway, not much going on other than that. This Friday I plan to see ‘Fast and Furious’ with my sister. We’ll probably eat Japanese after the movie then hang out at the mall. It’s been so long since I could just hang out and not do anything. I’m looking forward to it.

Twilight!

March 22, 2009

Yes! The ‘Twilight’ dvd is finally here! I didn’t go to the midnight party. (Only because I had no one to go with. lol) But I did buy it at Target yesterday. :D I love it because it’s the three-disc deluxe edition and I’ve been watching all of the special features since yesterday. Now I’m watching the actual movie again. I love it! Sitting here watching it makes me want to reread the first book again, even if I haven’t been able to read the last two yet. (Curse school and work!) Oh, well. The movie will have to tide me over. :D

Fun Weekend!

January 19, 2009

Hey guys! What’s been going on. I had an unusually busy weekend for me. Fortunately it was actually fun. (I haven’t been able to say that for a while.) First, I did get to go to the movies on Friday. I went with my sister to see ‘Bride Wars’ and I loved it! I don’t know why people were complaining about it. It was supposed to be a light hearted comedy and that’s exactly what it was! Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson were both hilarious in it. I would recommend anyone to go see it if you like either one of those two actresses. :D

I also got some shopping done. I really needed a nice winter coat since Georgia just now decided it wanted to get really cold. There was a sale at Old Navy so I decided to haul ass over there. And what do you know? They were having this great weekend sale! I actually found not one but two great coats! And both came to less than $70 because there was an additional 50% off the sale price! I was only going to get one until I saw that sign, then I had to get both. :D I was too excited.

And finally I also went to Columbia to celebrate a friends birthday. We made reservations at ‘The Melting Pot’ which I had never been to before. I have to say that I was really impressed. I really loved it. I had always wanted to go to a fondue place before and I’m really glad that I went. We had the order that came with everything: the cheese course, then salad, then the main course, and then dessert. The cheese fondue and the chocolate were my favorite! I have to go again.

Well, that was my weekend. If you want to see the photos of my coats, just head on over to my Flickr. Any of you guys have any fun this weekend?
