I'm opening at Starbucks tomorrow and Wednesday. Urgh, definitely not my cup of tea but at least I will be getting home earlier, right?Friday we have our store meeting about the new Christmas drinks. I have to say the Caramel Brulee Latte was somewhat of a let-down. The special caramel syrup is great, way better than the normal, but other than that the drink just doesn't seem to live up to my

It's been a while since I updated, so I thought that I'd give a recap of all that's happened. Surprisingly, it was my hair dresser that reminded me I should post today!Since I last posted I got a job at Starbucks as a barista. I work around 30 hours each week, and though the hours can sometimes be a bit painful, the work is good and I enjoy it. It's been hard these past two weeks though as Ross

Procrastination is horrible, ugh! Usually I have a slow start on my Hilltop Times articles, but this week's are just...bad somehow. I think it is because most of them didn't have much information or quotes. Not much to work with.Actually, the one I'm working on now has an inundation of information and maybe one quote. Still difficult. Quotes are great because they break up the information and add

So I believe I've written about Ross deploying. Well, now he's gotten orders to go to Korea, as well. At the same time.It made me laugh a bit, because it seems even the government can be super disorganized. Well, I guess that is a given for most people, because it seems that anyone I talk to isn't surprised when the words "government" and "disorganized" pop up in the same sentence. Can you

Ross decided we're going to go ahead and get the townhome. It's exciting! It will be the first house for both of us, and now we get to plan out decor, colors, etc! :DI'm probably going to search out some episodes from HGTV's design shows. I love those...Well, I'm going to bike down to Tai Pan Trading and see if I can find anything nice. Hope my legs are up to it!

Ross and I have been busy trying to view our options for housing when he gets back next year. So far we've toured two places, aside from the fluke we toured a while back, which I'll probably have to recount later.Place A was a batch of typical apartment homes, except for the fact that we viewed the floor plan that included a loft. As always the model home looked great, the only thing that really

Ross got his deployment orders last week. He will be heading to Afghanistan early next year for around 9 mths. ): This makes me one sad panda.We're trying to spend a lot of time together before he goes. Also hitting up the gym every day which is great for me, I really need it. I just wish it wasn't this particular reason that was causing us to go.Not much else going on yet. Still job searching

I've started redoing my online portfolio, also titled "Eccentriffic". Unfortunately, it might take a lot longer than I thought to actually get a custom design out there, because Geocities decided it is going to stop hosting free websites this October.Wait, what? I don't understand why they would do that, really. Here is their statement:"We have enjoyed hosting web sites created by Yahoo! users

My legs are telling me how much they hate me for what I did to them yesterday. Still, some part of it all feels really good, and I'll definitely be continuing to exercise the hell out of them. Sorry, legs...Sigh...I got a medical bill in the mail when I came back from my trip to NM. It's very frustrating to pay $100/mo for insurance, then have an $81.00 doctor's fee for a simple consultation that

Getting in shape is going to be harder than I thought. I went to the base gym with Ross and ran about 3/4 of a mile, then did some leg exercises. Afterward, I felt horribly light-headed, so I had to lay down on the couch in the gym and again outside on the grass.I'm home now, but still feel icky. My legs feel like rubber, too. Guess my body is reprimanding me for letting it get out of shape in

Well, since my pal Aaron decided he didn't want to pay for his site anymore, which was hosting my portfolio, I've moved over here to Blogger. Thanks for letting me sit on your web space for so long, Aaron. :DFor now, I'll just be writing, but later on I'll work on updating with links to my portfolio, which includes writing, design work, and art. I'll also see if I can tweak a website design and
