You're Damned If You Do, And You're Damned If You Don't.

Let me start off by saying that I work at a Lane Bryant, which happens to be a plus size clothing store for women. I should also add that for the last year, I have been dieting and trying to lose weight and get healthier. While at work today, I approached a woman and asked if she needed help finding anything and her response really bothered me.  She gave me a somewhat dirty smirk, looked me up and down, and said "I really don't think you can help me." As she started to walk away she giggled a little and implied that I shouldn't be working in a plus size store if I can't wear what I am trying to sell.  This bothered me WAY more than I could have let on because I CAN wear what we sell there. I am wearing the smallest size we offer, but I wanted more than anything to tell her that I used to be almost 80 pounds heavier and that I have worked my ass off to get where I am right now. I wanted to give her attitude, snap my fingers in a sassy way and say "You don...

My Bucket List

I feel like I haven't blogged in a very long time, and since I am not feeling too creative right now, I figured I would just share my bucket list with you. The ones in yellow are the ones that i have crossed off the list so far. I know that some of these things on the list are most likely never going to be achieved..... and some of them aren't even in my control, but hey, a girl can dream, right?? 1. Go Skydiving 2. Weigh 150 lbs or less 3. Quit smoking 4. See a shooting star 5. Get married 6. Ride in a hot air balloon 7. Set foot on all of the major continents: North America South America Asia Europe Africa Australia 8. Go to the following countries: Canada Italy Kenya Amsterdam Morocco Brazil Uganda France Japan China Egypt Greece Mexico Spain Germany Poland England Ireland Sweden ...

What's Happening?

Ok, so heres the thing. I was never much of a drinker, and i thought it was just a waste of money. But lately, I've been going out with old friends, and the things they want me to do in public (like dance or sing karaoke), requires me to loosen up a little. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going out and getting hammered every night, but i usually only have a drink now and then...... i can say that since the new year, I've gone out drinking about 6 times. Thats not normal for me. Maybe i can justify it by saying that i never really went through that "phase" when i was going out every other night, but it just feels weird to me and i don't want to turn into one of those degenerates that pisses away their paycheck every other week on alcohol. Am I even making sense? Oh well, who fucking cares. I had fun singing karaoke tonight and I was pretty decent at it. I hung out with friends I hadn't seen in years, and I laughed so hard that my face muscles hurt. I do...

Happy New Year

Well I know that its been a while since I last blogged, I just haven't had anything worth talking about. I work all the time, so my dreams haven't even been as strange. But its a new year, and with that, comes the new years resolutions..... The only issue is that I can't really think of an interesting one, there are just a bunch of things that i would like to do before 2013. Of course, I am going to start my diet again, and stick to it. Its always hard work, but it needs to be put back on track. Another thing that I need to stick to is taking more pictures this year. I started an app on my phone called "Project 365" where I take one picture a day for the whole year in order to create my year in photos. So far, theres nothing worth writing home about, but Its only January 2nd. I am really excited to be doing this, and I think it will make a great memory. Here is a list of all the things that i want to do this year, and goals that i want to achieve: -I want to l...
