It's been a while...

so, it would seem that monumentally important things have been happening in my life, in just the past few weeks. the first being, that my brother celebrated his 22nd birthday. and i made him cupcakes with mustaches on them. here is a picture.

they were "spice" with cream cheese frosting. also i have finally... after weeks, and months, and years! of contemplating. have finally gotten my silly little ears pierced. want to see? here you go...

and! also, after an incredibly tumultuous experience at my job, i have finally quit. today, i turned in my two weeks notice. my last day is october 10. and i have already had an interview. (kind of) i would show you a picture, but you can see that it would probably be kind of rude for me to take pictures of myself while telling my boss that i no longer wish to be employed by them. but right after work today, i went down to the sandwich shop, and asked for an application. the manager handed one to me, and said that if i filled it out right then, he would talk with me. so i did. and he did! he said that he would have hired me right there on the spot if they hadn't had so many applications. (because now, i have experience... and i carry around the stench of success). and that made me feel really good. when he was finished talking with me, i walked over to borders, and i talked with a manager, she said to apply online, but she took my name, and said she would look out for my application...

there is also this little sandwich shop about 20 min. south of me, it's called the little picnic basket. and i think i'm going to see if they will hire me. and then if that doesn't work. i will see if there are coffee shops in the area that need my "flare"

i'm feeling really good about this. i feel like i'm taking control of my life, again. but hopefully this time... i will be the one who comes out on top.
