Well.. It's been forever and a day since i've been on here last. I'm not really sure why all of a sudden i decided to get on Xanga.. It's kinda weird, but i guess boredom has taken over. A LOT has been going since i last updated; which was almost a year ago, already. 


          The Summer of '10 was memorable. I had great times with great people<3 Went on vacation with Rich and his family to Ocean City, Maryland for the week. I LOVE getting away..i wish i could do it more. Went to Atlantic City with Rich, Mom, and Jim. That's always nice..that's an overnight trip, so it's alittle getaway..but hey, i'll take it :P Oooh, and also..i took a day trip to OCM with Jill, Jenna, and Rich. It was nice to just take off to the beach on any day. Unfortunatly, a while after we arrived at the beach it started to storm. But we did have some time on the beach before we had to get off. I got my puppy in the summer..she's my baby. Her name is Roxy and she's a Chihuahua. It took some time to find her..on account that her breeder was Amish (accents are my downfall), and it was in Mifflinburg. After driving and driving, we eventually found the breeder and as soo as i saw her i said "YES! I'll take her!". I was soo lucky to have gotten her..and to think she was the last one left.. Yes, i treat her like a child. We snuggle, i dress her up, spoil her a lot, and she doesn't like to see me leave the house without her. I love my Roxy Roodles<3 :) Another plus about the Summer..i got myself a new vehicle. I'm quite proud to say that and happy to have gotten rid of my previous car. I was looking for a Scion XB in general. Yes, the toaster the hamsters make fun of in the commerical for the Kia one. haha.. My cousin definetly ended up hooking me up with a Scion XB..and then some. It's pretty loaded: with a system, designed hood, air intake, etc. I really like it :) It's all black and yellow. And i plan to stay with just those colors.. Unfortunatly, some damage has been done to it. Purposely? Or Accidenatly?.. I don't exactly know.. But karma is a bitch. I would like to put it in a car show come this Summer, i think it'd be pretty neat :) In October, my baby brother was born<3 His name is Trevor and he's just the greatest. I know him and I are going to be good buddy's.

          Lets see... It'll be 2 years in May that i'm at the SmartStyle. Things have been going pretty good, and i've been just working on building my clientele and whatnot. Also mentioning about 2 years...Rich and I's anniversary just passed<3 It's been a wonderful 2 years, and i'm looking forward to the future with him :) It was a great day spent with him. I ended up getting him a dressy Dickie's shirt, and Paper Jamz drum set with amp. He got me a beautiful bracelet and earrings set, Shining Stars frog, roses, and Paris Hilton perfume. He ended up making dinner, and it was super yummy..like always :P

Snowed in...

I've been stuck in this house for a whole day because of the TON of snow we got. I'm pretty close to going insane...

I could of spent the time in the house cleaning, going through stuff, and whatnot. But i made it a "lazy day" and watched tv, took a nap, got on facebook, etc.etc. And i think i'll end it off by watching Twilight on my portable till i fall asleep. I can't wait till i get out tomorrow. I usually look forward to days like this, but not today.

This Summer has been nice. It went by wayyyyy to fast though :( It definelty was a good Summer :) I'm nowhere near ready for the cold weather already. I can't believe it's September.. I am excited for Halloween and stuff though :)

-I had such a great time in OCM with Rich & his family. I'm glad the week didn't fly by, but i still didn't want to come home yet. lol. Spent most of the time down at the beach<3, between being down there during the day & then walking along it at night :) It was nice to get away.
-Mayhem Fest was awesome. Went with Rich, John, & Audrey. I plan to go next year, fo sho. Manson rocked :) All the other bands were great, especially Bullet For My Valentine.
-AC was a nice trip with Rich, my Mom, Jim, Antzie, & Kenny. We all kinda did our own thing for the day, got together for dinner, and then went back to doing our own thing. The next day was pretty much spent at the beach<3

Work down at SmartStyle is going alright. I really do enjoy working there most of the days, and the other girls that work there are awesome. There's drama, but what do you expect with a room full of women? ..So yeah, i just try to stay out of it as much as possible. There are definetly days that suck down there. But you'll have that, right? Some days i feel like i don't belong, but others i'm glad to be working there. It makes me super happy when one of my clients come in and requests me :) That truely makes my day. It's been pretty busy with back to school, but i'm sure it's going to be dead for the next couple weeks though.. As for Bath&Body?..I still work there every now and then. It's a nice second job. I have been thinking about eventually going to College for Fashion Design. I have no idea where i'll have the time to do so, but i'm sure as hell going to try to fit it in. I'm guessing probably next Fall, by that time it'll be a year & a half i'd be working at SS and hopefully i can pull some strings to get time for schooling. It's worth a try.

Stupid car and all of it's problems. I tried cashing it in as a clunker, but unfortunately it did 22 mpg back in '96 and couldn't qualify. Honestly, if they are trying to help the economy NOW why are they looking back in the past at when the car was brandy new and ran great? That was back THEN not NOW. My car deffinetly does not do 22 mpg now. The best part is i only missed it by 4 miles, it's suppose to be only 18. Yeah, my luck. lol. So now i had to put more money into the beast to keep it going till i figure something out. I love VW's<333, but mine is such a pain. I need to find one that isn't going to empty my wallet on a occassional basis.
*edit/ Just found out by my mechanic that the guys at the dealership where i bought it from, went ahead and blacked out the check engine light from the other side and put a bandaid ontop so you wouldn't be able to see the light was on the whole time... Luckily, i might be able to get all the money back that i had spent on it *crosses fingers*

A new hobby of mine is ghost hunting. A group of us go to cementaries and such in search for them. We explored Rest Haven and was that awesome. We didn't go in too far.. Plus, the place is huge with it being once an Isane Asylum and a Nursing Home. But we did get some great photos. Got some orbs and shadows from the inside. The outside is where we found all of the good stuff. We just took a ton of pictures of the front, and the yard. We got a picture of a figure of a lady in the one window, and it looks like a few kids in the other window. I'd have to say that's the best picture we've got, so far. A group of us are going back there tonight, so hopefully we'll find even more great stuff. It scares me, but i enjoy doing it.

Rich and i are doing great<3 We were already talking about our 1 year.. and it's not till January. lol. I want to do something special, like go to New York City or Philly for the day - go to a nice place for dinner and such. I'll have to figure that out more. But something like that would be cute to do :)

Rich's birthday party and such was good :) Since he likes to collect all types of glasses from places, i figured i'd make him a personalized birthday glass. He LOVED it :) I also got him some WOW cards, cologne, oils, and some other stuff too. But he really liked the glass, and i'm glad. The party was fun, like always. ..I like being with him and his family.

♥* Tonight John-Tim, Hope, Rich, and myself went ghost hunting. We tend to do that every-so-often in hopes to find something cool; and it's something to do.. I probably shouldn't of worn flipflops and shorts though. I'm suprised i'm not as scratched/cut as i thought i was going to be from the plants/thorns/whatnot. We're planning to go tomorrow night, so i'm definetly being more prepared for it. lol.

I'm really excited about vacations :)
*OCM July 11-18th with Rich and his family
*OCM? August 1-3 with Amber, Mandi, and Samm
*AC Sometime in August with Mom, Jim, and Rich
