Not so good at this blogging thing.

Hey guys, I'm at Barnes and Noble again, surprise surprise.

Since I've last written, I'm sure a few things have come up. First of all, I've decided to quit my job at Forever 21 as soon as I have another job. I'm looking in the heart of Boulder because that's the reason I wanted to move out here in the first place. It's hard to find something, but I've designated tomorrow morning as my morning to go searching. We'll see what that yields. I'll keep you updated, as soon as I remember to go somewhere with internet and blog. hah.

Rach and I are in the process of procuring more furniture, but it's hard as all of our money goes towards bills right now. I don't have enough experience with this "adult" thing to know if we need jobs that pay more/offer better hours or if we need to manage our money better. I love my job at Panera, but I'm thinking of switching to a mainly mid-day worker so Rach and I can actually eat meals on time and not feel horrible when we wake up. Right now she has a job at RAAP, which is a Denver rape assistance program. She walks door to door, collecting money for the organization. She makes commission on that, and if she doesn't collect very much in a night, she is still paid minimum wage. We both get home around 10:30 at night. It's exhausting on our bodies, I think. So anyways, back to the furniture thing! We found a perfect side table for our living room... in the dumpster. lol. I was taking the recycling out as we were leaving for somewhere, and I saw it, and we snatched it up. We think somebody is moving out and just leaving behind all the unnecessary stuff because the table is perfect and wonderful. It has a drawer in it, which we love.

One other piece of furniture we have been desperate for has been chairs for our counter. We don't have a dining room table or anything, and to tell you the truth, we don't really have room for it. We do, however, have this enormous bar in the kitchen. So we decided it would just make more sense to buy chairs that are the appropriate size for the bar, and use that as a table, at least for the time being. So one day we were dropping off a bunch of crap at Goodwill, and Rach found these wonderful stools. They're almost like old school barbershop chairs or something. They don't really technically match our theme, but they look wonderful anyway. And they are so much fun to sit in. It's a great place to journal or pay bills or eat.

We also got cable! After a very long delay (they didn't have our receivers in stock and had to order them.), we got DirecTV. We were originally planning on getting Dish, but we found out our apartment complex doesn't allow Dish after the technician came to install it. It was a trying process.

Almost a week ago we went for a picnic in the mountains. (: I finally had a day off, and Rach had the same one, so we packed a lunch of sandwiches, chips, carrots, bananas, yogurt, a chocolate chip cookie, and capri suns in my picnic basket! We ended up driving for about six or seven hours that day. We randomly drove and ate on top of the mountain, at the grave site of Buffalo Bill, and then we drove to Breckenridge Ski Resort, about an hour and a half away from our apartment by major highway. We weren't all that into taking major highways, so instead we found backroads. It was so gorgeous, I still can't believe I live so close to it. In Breckenridge we wandered around like tourists, buying stickers and sunglasses. We also found a Crepe Hut, where we ate... some kind of meal. It was strange and fantastic.

Now we're in the process of saving our money for a dog. We definitely have dog fever (Rach has it a little worse than me...). Rach is constantly online looking up puppies for sale, dog treats, etc. It's like when we were just ready to move out here and couldn't wait, and all we could do was plan and replan the same thing over again. We're talking about whether or not he'll be allowed on the furniture and if so, which furniture. Who will get up to walk him in the mornings and in the middle of the night? What kind of treats, what kind of leash, what kind of toys, what kind of dog! There is so much we've been talking about. And I've never had a  dog, so I'm nervous. Rach couldn't be more excited. We're hoping to have him/her (probably a her because females weigh less) by Christmas, so we can take her with us on our great Christmas adventure to Kansas and Oklahoma... but we'll see.




I do have pictures of all these fantastic events, except my phone/computer aren't cooperating... hopefully soon I'll be able to upload a bunch. Until then<3

Ah, it's been so long!

     I'm sitting at Barnes and Nobel on the floor in some back room by a bunch of calendars. BLAH. All the seats in this building are taken. That's okay though, I've always kind of preferred sitting on the floor.

     Not a lot has happened recently, but some things have, so I'm going to put this in list form, because I slept horribly last night and woke up in a funk and just don't feel like doing it any other way:

 1. I got a car. (: It's a 2005 Honda Accord, and it is perfect. The more I drive it, the more I like it. It has 4 doors, a sun roof, a huge trunk, 90,000 miles, and it's mine all mine. (: Rach has been bugging me to name it, but I'm so afraid I'll name it something I'll want to change in a week. This is why I should never have children.

2. Barnes and Nobel has become my sanctuary. Especially now that I can drive here myself. Rach leaves for work around 12:15 every day, and I have nothing to do for 4 hours. And considering I don't have enough money to go out to lunch or shopping or anything, I come to B&N and read. It breaks my heart, not having a concrete schedule. I end up feeling depressed and bored most of the time. It's so hard to meet people. I don't know what to do. :(

3. At least I've kind of been journaling lately. I can't wait to have money for books and stickers and clothes again. My bosses from F21 are not kind people. I don't fit in there. At all. I want to work HERE, where nobody will judge me for wearing a tshirt and not accessorizing. :/ It's not a good fit. I want to quit. BUT THEN THERE'S RENT.



i feel awful, im going to go read. <3
