* Pretty Little Endeavors

Dear Cheap Tippers, I understand that going out to eat/drink is more expensive than staying home. If you can’t afford a 20%+ tip to someone who makes sure you’re glass is never empty.. please, just stay home. That $1 tip on your $60 bill isn’t fab. However, it wasn’t all that bad considering I thought that person walked out leaving me to pay their $60 tab.. but, still.. a dollar? Dear Waitressing Job, I really do enjoy you. Sometimes you make me realize how much I don’t like people.. but, I really can’t complain. Before you I was working at a tanning salon making like $7.25 an hour.. working about 25 hours a week.. that’s about $180 a WEEK. I dig being able to make that or more in one shift. I see why some people waitress opposed to getting a career.. but, I just don’t understand how anyone could deal with all of that for more than a few years. Dear Lucas Blaze, I am SO excited to have all day with you! I’m so glad you’re taking me shopping! I’m also very happy that you went to b...

I was absolutely ecstatic when I found out I had the opportunity to try out this software! I love scrapbooking and to be honest, I never thought about doing it digitally. This software is awesome.

Here’s a few things I started working on… Now check out a few of their Pinterest pins.. So many options! I love this software! There are so many things you can do other than just scrapbooking.

I have a severe shopping addiction. I’ll be the first to admit it. Christmas time is my favorite because I have an excuse to spend money. As I’ve mentioned before I’m not a Black Friday shopper. I’m a Cyber Monday shopper. I’d much rather sit in my home at my computer. I don’t have to deal with lines or rude people plowing over me with their cart. Instead I’m sitting here dying for it to be midnight… I know I’m a broken record about Ebates. But, seriously why wouldn’t an online shopper use it? I have such a hard time shopping for other people because I want to buy all of them way too much. The worst thing is, I love wrapping gifts! If I had a million presents to wrap & make pretty I’d be so happy! I’m the easiest person to shop for because to be honest, I’d be fine with receiving nothing. This post may seem like I’m just typing without a purpose.. it’s probably because that’s exactly what I’m doing. I try sometimes to have structure to my posts but, every now and then I enjoy...

1. Name 4 jobs you’ve had in your life. A tanning salon where I just cleaned beds. A tanning salon I worked at that I was fired from because the girl I worked with slept with the boss and got jealous of me and made him fire me so he fired me for “stealing” which he couldn’t prove. I was clocked in under her name, so all of my sales went to her.. which meant I stole.. lol. I got a job that same day at a tanning salon. It also sucked. I quit as soon as I found my current job.. A waitress at a bar & grille. 2. Name 4 movies you would watch over and over. Love and Basketball, Step Brothers, Dirty Dancing and Blow 3. Name 4 places you have lived. Michigan, Michigan, Michigan and Michigan. Can’t wait till that changes. 4. Name 4 of your favorite foods. Pickles, Guacamole, Pizza and anything my mom cooks. 5. Name 4 things you always carry with you. My iPhone, Money, My cards (debit cards, I.D blah blah), 6. Name 4 places you have been on vacation. Puerto Vallarta, Na...

Dear Thanksgiving, You were fabulous! Mom cooked way too much amazing food! I enjoyed family time! I also enjoyed watching Lucas’ home videos with him and his parents! Can’t wait for another Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday! Dear Dudes who write notes to girls at Starbucks, It may seem like a cute idea.. but, it’s not. Just don’t do this. Seriously. Don’t. However, this will be a really good start to an addicting Lifetime movie. Please credit me if you actually make a lifetime movie from this…. Yup. 1 year ago I posted that note shown on my computer screen. He gave me that note at Starbucks. Never said a single word to me. Last night at Starbucks a dude stares my friend down for an hour then drops off the note I’m holding without saying a single word… then it all clicked…. Stay classy Kyle. Dear Readers, To be fair.. I’m giving the 60% off ad spots deal until MONDAY. I’m going to be doing something for all my sponsors this month since I love gift giving for Christmas! So go grab ...

Thanksgiving 2010 & Thanksgiving 2012. Many of my Facebook friends posted a status every day saying something different they were thankful for. But, I didn’t. I also didn’t get the blogging memo about posting this the day before Thanksgiving. Ooops. I’ll warn you that my post may not seem as serious as most blogger’s thankful posts… However… Thanksgiving doesn’t make me realize what I’m thankful for. These are the things I’m always thankful for. My parents who have spoiled me my entire life and never gave up on me when I was feeling a little extra sassy. My family that I still associate with. Family members I no longer associate with. You have showed me that real family isn’t always blood related. Lucas Blaze. You’re amazing to me even if I’m sometimes a crabby girlfriend. You always call me out when I’m being a “diva” even though you always let me get away with it. When I’m feeling weak you force me to realize how strong I am. You’ve made me love who I am. You’re my best fri...
