Swatch dogs and Diet Cokeheads

… of my desk.

PS- Has anyone tried the Starbucks oatmeal? Do yourself a favor and pick one up. It’ll be the best $2.50 you’ve spent in a while.

I love this store. I really do. But I’m relieved that it’s over. The poor little thing just couldn’t do it anymore. She tried hard. She did. There just wasn’t enough money or attention to make it work. I wasn’t there for the beginning but I was there for the middle and the end. It started as a drunken dare (Me: This shit ain’t hard. I could do this. Patrick: Fine. Be here next Saturday.) and culminated into me running the store for 4 months. Last Sunday we cleaned the remaining stock out and put it in storage. It was sad but celebratory at the same time. I’m mostly sad for Patrick because it was his baby but I’m also glad that we get our Saturdays back.

One of my goals for 2010 was to buy a real domain for my blog and ditch the .wordpress.com. Instead, I got a new job and a new apartment. This past month has been filled with boxes, shopping for new dress pants, FAFSA, learning how to use a gas stove and saying good-bye to Melissa and Julius (the last one being the most difficult). I’ve barely posted at all during a time when I probably have the most to say. I’ll fix that soon with posts of my new spot (once I’m done moving in), pics of some new (and vintage) things that I’ve recently purchased and of course, countless pics of Lucien. Until then please enjoy shit that I’ve stolen from other blogs.

Oh! And I’m now a contributor at Tales from the Blonde Fox so check for me to talk some shit on there.

Every time I think about this scene, I laugh. It never stops being funny to me. Enjoy.

After almost exactly 6 months of unemployment, I finally got me a jobby job! I celebrated with a lovely dinner with the A-list (minus Metha) at Citrus. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams that I make it through a nine to five after doing a twelve to seven at BETA for so long.

I quit smoking 3 years ago today. And yes, I miss it.

Edit: As my reward for not smoking, Patrick bought me ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone!

This is my last week in Apt 2. Kinda sad, I guess but I’m ready to move on. I have lots of packing do and then the actual move. Lucky for me, I know a pretty strong dude who can help.
