Scarlette and Shrimp

Oh, and the besties.
Yes. I understand it's quite possibly the weirdest blog title you've ever
seen. However, there are two adorable reasons behind it.
Let me take you back to 2 1/2 weeks ago;
I got a call from my best friend Taysha. The two cats I was supposed to get from her (Simon and Madixx) got taken by her mom's ex-beau.. whatever. So anyway, she tells me that I can have the 2 little baby girls that are left. And that's how Scarlette and Shrimp became mine. Now, as far as the names; I just liked Scarlette and my mom named the other one Shrimp because she's so tiny

Shrimp

So the day the babies get brought to my house was last Saturday. I did so much that day. Cleaned, played mother, worked, came home to play mother some more. And my best guy friend got back that day too. We all hung out Saturday and Wednesday :]] Wednesday was the best. We went to the Las Vegas Strip that night. Just to walk around. It's always fun.
Anyway, I bought the matress, some of Kip's puppy stuff that was cheap on sale and paid some bills. The week was pretty good. I can't wait for Taysha to come back :]]

Earn, Spend. Earn, Spend. Earn, Spend.

Sleeping on an air matress; not exactly what most people would call a "good night's sleep. Well now that I have a job, I can afford to purchase a new Memory Foam mattress and a boxspring. That way, I don' have to worry about Kip popping my current bed with his claws. Anyway, I'm also getting a new desk. Yayy! I found the cutest black desk with a glass top. It's only $135 as an exclusive to Target.com; not in Target's stores.
This coming Thursday, I'm getting a new tattoo as well (A small star behind my left ear). And starting to pay for my puppy. Which means I have to buy puppy food, puppy toys, housetraining pads, a playpen type thing and training stuff for Kipland James. (By the way, I get to pick which one from the litter is mine, this coming weekend. Most likely a week from today!)
After all the spending, I have to start saving for a car. I can't believe how much my life has turned around since I moved back home. I'm making quite a large amount a month compared to all my past jobs. Plus, with it all being directly deposited into my bank account, it makes online shopping so much easier.

Well, I'm gonna go enjoy the majority of my day in "paradise" before work.

I'll Take Pembroke Welsh Corgi for $600

I can't believe that after months of research (and I'm talking like 6 months worth) for the PERFECT puppy, I'm Finally done! I found the breeder I trust. One who's friendly, loves keeping in contact with potential buyers and someone who's enthusiastic about answering my millions of questions.
I've already decided on a gender and name. A boy named Kipland James (but you can call him Kip if you prefer). He's going to cost $600, and yes, I know thats quite a lot for a puppy. But he comes with like everything;
Dew claws removed, his first 2 sets of shots completed, and his tail docked. His AKC registration is even included in the price. He's also a purebred, which makes him more expensive. And before you question my insanity about paying that much; I've searched and searched and searched..... but couldn't find a shelter that has any Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
So today (well yesterday; since it's just past midnight), my mom and I went to Petco before I started my shift at work. I found so many things I am going to get him. Toys, food, collars, harnesses, a leash, and even treats. He'll be too spoiled. He's not even born yet and he's already pushed his way into my heart.
Mommy's little boy; Kipland James. <3

Introducing Kipland James

So by the end of the year I should have a puppy. A Pembroke Welsh Corgi to be exact. It's going to be a boy and his name is Kipland James. I'm very excited! He's pretty much going to look like this;

although those won't be his exact colors. He's going to be a tri-colored corgi. Mostly black with brown spots and white on his paws/snout. He's basically going to be the only baby I have and I plan on spoiling him rotten. Expensive food (my baby gets the best quality for his little tummy!!), more toys than he can imagine and so much love he'll feel like he's in heaven. I've been planning on getting one for the longest time and I can't wait to be able to get him. I'll keep you updated and soon, I'll have another blog for you to follow! A blog just for Kip!
Be on the lookout for that!!

Slutty Central, How Can I Assist You?

Do you ever see those girls that wear too much make-up, to "compliment" the "fashionable" attire they're wearing? (And I don't mean the well-dressed conservative ones; I'm talking about the barely there booty shorts and the shirts that don't cover enough). Yeah. Ew! I prefer to call that Disgusting on-the-go. Well, anyway, I saw someone come into my work today. The only problem; she was trying to show the world more than the normal DOTG girls do. A halter that barely covered her huuuuuuuuge fake boobs. They looked like they would make her topple over if she leaned forward. In other words, they were too big for her skinny body. On top of all that, she saw a guy in the store that was (and ladies, i mean it) pretty much male-model material. He was that gorgeous! So she started to try and show off in front of him, which only made him give her looks of disgust. Which made me and my trainer laugh. I guess she thought he wasn't paying attention enough because she attempted to strike up a conversation as he passed her; she failed.

So, as she continued on with her Sam's Club experience, she tried quite a few more times to get the attention of handsome passers-by. It only made us laugh harder. Finally, after many failed attempts, she purchased some items and left. I thought for hours what could possibly have been going through that DOTG's mind when she got up this morning. Seriously though. I could only come up with the fact that she's about 10,000% insecure. And obviously, she wanted attention for all the wrong reasons.

I asked a few guys that I work with what they think when they see girls dressed like that. Surprisingly, I got quite a few guys tell me that they wouldn't ever date a girl like that. "She's more of a one-nighter," one of them told me.

So the question that continually rings through my mind;
Why would you dress like a slut if you are out looking for a relationship? Seriously. You're more likely to get a guy's attention for more than one night if you dress conservatively and portray confindence. Duh!

To My Sissy :]]

This Always My Sister poem, is my favorite Poem that I've ever written. I wrote it for my sister.

My hero, my best friend, my best support
I don't know what I'd do without you.
I've thought about it time and time again,
and yet, I still haven't got a clue.
You're my turn-to person when I need advice, or a helping hand.
and when it comes to my poetry, you're one of my biggest fans.
So i thought i'd write you a poem, so you can keep one for yourself
do with it what you please.
Just make sure you read it before you toss it on your closet shelf.
Sister, you're my best friend, and I just wanted to let you know
I'll be with you till the very end, I'll be in your heart. No matter where you go.

Poke Poke...Touch!

Money; The green papery stuff and the silvery coins that have presidents' faces plastered on the fronts. I can't imagine a time where I haven't needed (let alone wanted) money for something.

So as I was walking through Target yesterday, looking at clothes that I can/not wear for work, I wandered to the bedding area. Originally, I was going to make my room black and white. Everything from curtians to rugs and bedding to furniture. Well then, I came across blue and brown combos and fell in love. I started torturing myself with "Oh I can't wait to get this!" and "I am so going to get this when I have money." Then I came to realization that I have 2 past due cell phone bills to pay before anything. Plus, I'm getting rid of my sidekick, so I can just pay the "normal" $65/month cell phone bill.
Well, as I came to that conclusion about paying the phone bill, I realized that I can't get my new phone just yet. I'll be stuck with the sidekick for a while longer. Ugh! I hate the sidekick. the Samsung Behold is twenty times better than what I have now. I'm all for the touch-and-go scene. Touch screens are awesome! My iPod is so worth what it's advertised for. Well, for the most part. I want the phone too! No, not the iPhone. That's lame. The contacts and such take up 65% of the memory. I'd rather stick with my 32gb iPod touch and have the Behold right along with it. There's no charge for any uses. So, it'll be back to 600 minutes and the extra $15/month for unlimited texting. Yeah.
The only problem I've come across is knowing if I'll have enough money to get the phone at the same time as paying my bill. Direct Deposit + Auto-pay = I find out if I have enough to get the phone :]]

Wish me luck!

Random Thought

"It's hard to follow the "spend money to make money" rule when you have no money spend in the first place.

Let's Bring in the money, people!

So... I've got some GREAT news!

I'm FINALLY going to be working.

(and yes, I realize that this post is short; but after 5 months with no cash.. DUHHH.. It's happy news.)

Hey ambs, What's the 411?

Blogging; not something I thought I'd ever do. But after reading my sister's blog, I convinced myself that it's quite possibly the best way to fully inform my family, friends, and random stumble-upon-my-page people about the things that I'm up to or about to be up to.
But, before I get too into detail with those situations, let me give you a heads up of where I'm at in my life right now.
In the past two years, I've accomplished the following goals:
1. Graduated from High School (Class of 2007!!)
2. Earned my first 9 credits from college
3. Learned what it's like to live without parental-units
And up until late April of 2009, I enjoyed 95% of it. Yes, I bet you're thinking "So what's the 5% that you didn't enjoy ambs?" Well, the whole I'm jobless bit kind of killed my living-on-your-own experience.
The entire experience wasn't a total bummer though. I did live with my sister for 10 months and I did learn so much from her. (By the way; she's my biggest hero ever. Give her props. Yay Ape!) Anyway, Before I moved in with her, I had been through a lot. I think though, so you don't get lost in all this confusion, that I'll start from the very beginning.

So, when I was 6, my parents divorced. Saddening? Yes. Painful? Yes. I learned from it though. It taught me (not exactly when I was 6 years old) that at multiple points during your life, you're bound to have falling-outs with friends, loved-ones and sometimes even yourself. But, if you stay strong through it all, you'll know better for the next round. And that, unfortunately, has brought around a major trust issue with me. It's not as bad as it used to be, but I still have a hard time letting people in. As I grew older, I sort of drifted apart from certain people and when I was 9, I spent my fair share of weekends filled with visits to a psychiatrist. It didn't really help though. I was young and didn't really care for it.
At this point in my life, I should be almost done with my sophomore year of college. I'm not though. It's really the only decision I've ever made and regretted. Because, to be honest; I don't regret things really. They're learning experiences. Think about it. If you regret something, you dwell on the situation for a period of time, when you could be concentrating on better, more time-consuming, and possibly fun.
Like I had said earlier; moving in with my sister was a great experience. I learned that her and I are opposite ends of a gigantic spectrum when it comes to most things. But we're both extremely easy-going, we enjoy the same kinds of music (for the most part) and when just the two of us hang out, we're filled with non-stop laughter. I have enough best friends to last a lifetime, but my sister is my closest one. She knows me inside and out. Well, except for a few minor details here and there. Her boyfriend is pretty cool too. We had plenty of moments of making my sister have total blonde moments.
Now, let's get back on track.
With the support of my family, friends, and loved-ones at my side; I'm slowly getting my life on track. Everything is going good for now. I still have to concentrate on getting a job, getting my license, a car and paying my phone bill on time. But the greater amount of responsibilites I begin to hold onto shows not only me, but everyone surrounding me that I can get by on my own. I can be an independant person.
Oh, did I mention; I'm a poet? Yeah. Be on the look-out for some poems to be posted soon! One of which recieved an award in October 2006. AND placed 3rd in an international contest.
Enjoy your weekend, as Another Day in Paradise ends.
Goodnight and Love to all!
