Worked all weekend at Destare. I always work every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, It’s starting to be a bit much because I never have any free on the weekends to do anything fun. It stinks! (said in the voice of Jay Sherman) I don’t want to just have random Friday and Saturday nights off, because then I might end up sitting at home not doing anything, when I could be at work making money! But I’d like to be free to do something. I would LOVE to have a Monday through Friday job that I love, and then work the occasional Friday or Saturday night, and that will be my fun spending money.
Here’s another message I got on a credit card receipt at work. This guy left a number AND his name (but I cropped out the number when I took the picture). Most of the doofuses only leave their number, and no name. Geniuses. It wasn’t even a 20% tip, so he mustn’t have thought I was THAT cute. Plus, he left it on the credit card receipt that I have to pass in at the end of the night. Note to all guys who leave numbers to girls, DON’T put it on the credit card receipt!
Saturday, I worked till 2:30am, then had to wake up and go to Macy*s on Sunday. After working the full day, we had our Christmas party that night to get ready for the busy holiday season. We always do it on Sunday nights, cause the store closes at 7. That way, even people who work can still get to the party. But once we get closer to Christmas, the store is open later on Sundays, which is why we had to have the party so early. Jenny and I got our makeup done by Lori at Clinique. It was fun, but I don’t like wearing so much makeup. It made it very obvious that I was wearing makeup. I like wearing enough that the color in my face is well blended, but I don’t look made up or anything. You can’t really tell from the picture, but my eyes were pretty made up. Notice my thyroid scar? Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. Everyone at works keeps asking about it, and they think it’s a scratch! But then I tell them it’s a scar from surgery. Oh, and I just found out that one of the guys at work was gay (he’s on the right of the picture of Jenny getting her makeup). He was talking about some hot guy he saw at CVS, and I thought “jigga what?!” I had no idea. Then I told everyone that I didn’t know, and they all made fun of me. Kaleena said I had bad gay-dar.

This is Coleen, Jess, and Jenny at our table at the party. We had a ton of fun, and danced the night away. We did all the crazy group dances like the macarena, the electric slide (which I don’t know), the song that says “now glide to the left…. cha cha cha”, and of course, the YMCA (as seen in the picture). I got a cute Christmas tree decoration that has my name on it. I also did an awesome 17,000 by working all day and then dancing!
On a final note, I must be seriously stressed out or worried about something, because I am absolutely tearing my nails apart. This is a picture Nicole took of my hand after she did my nails. She went to nail school and she did my nails a couple times to practice. After the nails grew out a bit, I decided to take them off because I didn’t want to have to pay for them. However, now that they’re off, I can’t keep them out of my mouth. I’m biting them so much that they’re bleeding, and they HURT. I think I’ve decided to just get them on again, at least for the holiday season while I might be overly stressed (2 jobs, babysitting, school, and planning the Brew Year’s Eve party). But I’m going to do a simple thing so they’re cheaper. However, with babysitting, I pull in $50 a week, so I figure that can be my free money to spend how I please. I know that fake nails are stupid, and pointless, and a waste of money, but when I have them, I keep my fingers out of my mouth.
Biting my nails was a HUGE deal when I had my radiation. Because I drank my radiation, my mouth was a major hot spot (it was mixed in with strawberry Kool-Aid - seriously). I couldn’t kiss anyone, share utensils or cups with anyone because my mouth was considered hot. When I put my fingers in my mouth, I would get the radiation on my fingers, and then, of course, anything that I touched. It was a big deal, and a bad way to contaminate things. I got yelled at by my radiation safety officer for putting them in my mouth right in front of him. Oops! Being wary of that has not made me change my habits, though. And so, the only way I know to keep them out of my mouth, is to put fake nails on them.
