guess who’s been watching Mean Girls? over and over and over again??? yeah, I know many lines to the movie now. I can’t tell if my goal is to learn the whole movie or just avoid having to mess with the dvd player. yeah so as if that wasn’t bad enough i did some research and guess what i found:

yes, i disappoint myself with what i care to know. actually the vid is a hoax, which totally got me all sad for a while there.

in other news i went to some marriott joints to apply as front desk/sales/breakfast personnel. OH! andandAND: i went to open interviews for starbucks yesterday and i totally didn’t get hired. What is this world coming to when anyone can get a job at starbucks but me? they basically said: we don’t like that you’re a student and therefore at high risk of fleeing the country when starbucks needs you the most. coffee so hurts my feelings now, and after how dependent i let myself get on it? sadness.

on wednesdays the Austin Statesman features food and yes the grocery store ads come out (of the closet haha) that day! which i love.  I like to see ads cos they’re so neutral in content.  and it makes me monday and tuesday go by faster. ok ok so enough of that.  this wednesday i took a trip to sun harvest, which is owned by Whole Foods (a lot of ppl are shocked to find this out).  Anyways, so i try to go grocery shopping on double ad wednesdays.  

Today i bought:

Almond butter  (creamy…i already have a crunchy one),

little bags of frozen fruit (blueberry…AND organic but on sale so i said ok), 

yogurt

Yesterday I bought:
tofu and alfalfa

and makeup although really i only went for eyeliner…

and i also picked up this to hopefully help me pay for all of it:

but in all honesty i miss my discount. you know my paycheck would only be redeposited into the company in exchange for more skirts, shirts, blouses, underwear and pants, then there are also pj’s and umbrellas. if everyone were like me the economy would be flourishing. i know it.

today ashton kutcher was on ellen and he was talking about being very beautiful. poor ashton, i can see his beauty weighs him down. i think if he were to move towards being sexy rather than beautiful he’d see his load lighten up some.

in other news: the interview….nope still not employed. it’s ok. when i interviewed the first time the schedule was 8-6 w/ an hour lunch. that’s 45 hours a week. i dunno about that. well actually i know it’s not for me. Although the job itself sounded pretty sweet, and the people i’d be working seem really cool too it’s still 45 hours a week for the people that i DON’T work with. So, so far, i am appreciative of the opportunity to interview because it helped me realize how much the work schedule is to me. So Retail: check (hella fessible) and AdLucent very atypical firm and you know they mention liberal hours on their ad. i think that makes me more productive. i know that much about myself. i need a period to get away, recharge and return refreshed.

so where else have i applied: Wholefoods! as a planner of private label inventory…yes my forte: PRIVATE LABELS i’m HUGE on exclusivity and planning heck yes. that job is no longer posted but this is the summary of the next job i’ll be applying for:

General Summary
Responsible for development and leadership of the team, tools and culture of space planning and planogramming in support of the global and regional procurement teams. Must be decisive, driven, and have proven success in coordinating efforts and deliverables to make an immediate financial and operational impact.

we’ll see.  it’s wholefoods.  i’m not gonna get too excited or hopeful either.  but anything that offers me a discount is sure to make me a loyal slave to them.  so, may not be the best for my personal well being.  mk homebodies i have to get to the gym now that i found out that i’m still paying for it.

 

PEACE OUT HOMEBODIES ps. looks fade dont get attached!

ok so back when rose (my-best-friend-from-seattle) came to visit me we got bff shoes.

we even had a photo shoot: 

so today i went out hunting for shoes because i have an interview tomorrow and…not like i need shoes but hey? i scored an interview off of an interview: let’s celebrate that. so i decided to get black slingbacks…bffs in black to be precise. i called rose and she gasped (WHILE at work!! she should resign out of shame and move out to texas and be with me! as punishment of course)

ok so speaking of celebrating Sun Harvest my favoritist of grocery stores ever, is having a special on avocados to celebrate cinco de mayo. i totally jumped on that boat and loaded up on them. i had a BOWL of guac w/ chips for dinner. i felt like i was five and mom was out of town so dad let me decide what to eat for dinner. soooo bad but ohh soooo goooood!!

so today i registered for 4 more miserable hours of class EVER. :( yes it’s a little sad…but it’s ok, but still sad.
¡viva distance learning! i did distance learning last summer and it was pretty sweet. i wish i had done ALL of my schooling with certain liberties. like getting to eat during exams. this time i get to bring my pet w/ me to class…

and as for the cats: i named them today!

yes, that means, i acknowledge their existence now. so the gray one is ‘blue’ the white one is ’shady’ and the orange one is ‘leia’ as in…the princess because she is…in an annoying way. ok well peace out!

looking into those eyes reminds me why she gets to live rent free…

actually no, they didn’t call. they more so left a comment on a previous blog entry for me to call them.  i totally thought they were done w/ making paper airplanes with the resumes not approved.  YAY! i made an impact or at least…i got a blog visit.  seriously this blog makes me nervous :-/ but…i emailed them back yay!!!!

just fyi: adlucent’s office is aia honored.  this in itself doesn’t reflect on their company directly or their work but i like bragging rights like that.  i mean we spend a 1/3 of our lives at our workplace so it’s nice that they invested into the office space.  

ok my brother’s in th’ house! so we’re gonna go make a run to our neighborhood home depot so we can raw up my apt. i’m talking cinder blocks, unfinished wood, and big nuts and bolts that are sooo big they intimidate the baddest of the border gangs muahaha

peace out homebodies!
