      It's Been A Long Time...
    ...I shouldn't'a left you...without dope news to read.

    LOL.

    Hey hey hey. So it's been awhile since I typed out my feelings and goings on. But the wait is over. Here I is.

    So basically I have been working on CAKIN' lately. 24/7. My first weekend out in Montauk, I sold way over 20 necklaces to friends & others and almost the whole rack of 12 at 668 The Gig Shack! And that was only a WEEKEND! They're now open ALL week long so I replenished the rack there with 16 cakes -- 2 were sold as I was re-stocking so they're were 14 when I was last there Sunday afternoon. Also, I was offered to sell them in another store out there - it's called kelly b. it's a new boutique. Very fashionable. The clothes and accessories are adorable and the prices aren't bad AT ALL! Esp. for out there - clothes are ridiculously expensive...I mean like $180 for a shirt, expensive. This place is completely reasonable. A dress for $75. NOT BAD!

    I believe the woman who runs the store is also the owner of another store on the same strip..which I may also be able to show case jewelry in. So, I'm super excited about that. Out there, the prices for the necklaces will either be $12 or $15 I'm not sure yet. I have to calculate all of my expenses and so forth.

    The weekend was nice though. I spent it on my fathers boat..it wasn't beach weather but it was nice. The beach day was Monday ----- but I had to leave early. Reasoning left out. :sigh
    Anyways -- I can't wait to go back. Hopefully the next time will be a complete beach weekend so my entire body can get it's life back LOL. My arms, chest, and face got some color -- one arm in particular, got sun burn -- driver's tan. LOL.

    Today, I got a callback from URBAN OUTFITTERS! Finally! I go up to their Montclair store tomorrow morning to fill out paperwork and next Wednesday I start in the store space and help set up the store (it's a brand new store in the local mall so it's super fresh). We have to put up fixtures, tables, etc. Basically the skeleton of the store. I'm excited though. Yippee!

    & an ALERT!
    I'm dying my hair again tomorrow. LMAO.
    I'm lightening it -- hopefully it's a huuuuge drastic change -- it's what I'm aiming for. I'm getting chunky warm sand highlights through my entire head. Chunky enough so I have the least amount of this dark dark mahogany. We shall see how THAT turns out...LOL!

    My sidekick is back on - T-Mobile had to be dealt with and they finally got their heads right last night. My fingers are now occupied. THANK YA LORD!
      Phone Bill Blues
    My phone is STIL turned off and just paid over-half of my bill (it was only $91 - I let it get over 2 months LOL) . I think T-Mobile has had enough of me. LMAO. I don't know what it is, but I ALWAYS forget to pay my damn bill. It comes in the mail and I look at it then I just rip the bottom off to see how much it is and leave it on my desk and throw the rest out. Though I see it almost everyday, I never go "Oh, I should head over to T-Mobile and pay that.." LOL

    You'd think I would..my bill is only $20 a month to begin with..unless I buy a couple ringtones (which I'm obsessed with..) then it's probably ten or $15 dollars more LOL. But still..I don't get it.

    Anywho, they shut my sidekick off yesterday and I didn't realize til this morning because it was off yesterday morning but I got TWO texts last night..so that really didn't make much sense..but whatever. LOL. I got a text this morning too -- ?! But it's off, I can't send any messeges so yeah.

    After dropping my aunt off at the airport this morning I went and paid $80 on the $91 I owed - I used all my cash and I don't own a credit card or debit (I don't believe in plastic) so I figured..I'd pay the last $11 next month .lmao. Not thinking that's what got me in the postion to begin with but that's not the point. The point is that it's been 3 hours and my phone isn't on and I paid more than half. They're SUPPOSED to reinstate service when you pay more than half your bill. AND they have a brandy new sidekick coming out next week...I'm not getting it unless they get their act together lol. ---------I'll probably get it anyways..but you get what I'm saying.

    Fuck you T-Mobile. Ruining lives.


    I'm kidding.........turn my phone back on please...?

    LOL

    What a day! --- what a weekend is more like it!

    I didn't do much this weekend - not like usual but I had a grand ol' time.

    Thursday, I went to eat with the boys at this restaurant they will soon run/own/tear up the NJ club scene with. Food was great, we drank a pitcher of sangria and chatted, before we went to another place for drinks.

    We left dinner at about 10-10:30 and headed on over to this gorgeous new restaurant down the street. The bar and lounge area is insane. All the furniture is 17th century inspired, imported, there's linens from floor to ceiling attached to these large wooden beams, that kind of look medieval and this is all hinted with ice blue lighting. Ugh it was such a scene. I live for aesthetics like that. Also, at around midnight, the ice blue lighting turns this deep magenta, it's crazy lol. We started off with two pitchers of sangria and then the shots came - two of the best shots of after sex I've ever had. You couldn't even taste the liquor it was delicious. However, like 10 minutes later I was so loose..haha. Then they gave us these blue shots that were on the house..I have no idea what they were but...they were damn good! We all had a blast. Met some really nice new people and just enjoyed myself.

    Friday -- I decided to stay in and work on some CAKIN' orders. I made extra cakes of course -- but they are all gone already. Sold - packaged and ready to be sent out. I can't keep them long enough! lol. I am going to work on more tonight. I also finally designed new business cards that I love - I printed out close to 100 tonight. I can't wait to put them into the orders that are going out tomorrow! I hope everyone likes them. ;) It's the new header on the CAKIN' so go on over and let me know what you think!

    Saturday - what a day. I slept most of the day. I had to. I stayed up til' 7AM to CAKE! lol. I got up around 1 or 2PM I don't really remember. I went to have some Vietnamese with my friend Chris. We were going to go to this mexican restuarant but he said he's never had Vietnamese before so I was like ---car screetching noise--- I am taking to you to Vietnamese instead!!! He loved it! As I knew he would -- everyone should expand their palet I think! Anywho, after that we went back to my house and I took out all the left over liq from the party last weekend and invited my friend Bryan that I went to HS with and of course, DaVon and Ray to wet their throats with us lol. We got trashed. It was nice. LOL! We played some drinking games and took pictures in our drunken states - that are hilarious, I'll put them up later! lol - and then ended the night @ white castle. yuck but yum, especially when you've had too much to drink haha. (hence the photo posted last night! lol)

    It was great though...the night was a lot of fun. I haven't seen my bff Von in a while because he's working on this fashion show over at our college that is on Thursday. (I'll be there selling my CAKES! WOO my first table! Yes, this is a big deal LOL!) So it was nice. We all had a good laugh - especially me and Von because prior to our drinking - I totally and completely cut off a "friend". I don't even know if there are words to even describe how far gone this person is but if there are, I honestly, in all my years of vocabulary obsession, do not recall any word that would fit. And you know what? In listening to the ridiculous statements this person was making against me -- I'm glad that is over with. I was in the presence of really good people and in that moment I realized what that person wasn't. And that was a "friend". So, cest la vie! And Von and I cheered with a shot of vodka to "being acne free". OK! LOL. You too can laugh..but we have a sort of...inside joke about that. So, big ups to those who are down for life!

    Sunday -- today, I slept again because of that alcohol. Call me Jamie Foxx cause I'm blaming it lol. I woke up, enjoyed the vacancy of my house for awhile and then got myself together. I decided to go to Panera Bread for food. I haven't been there in months and well, I missed it. If you don't know about Panera, well you better ask somebody!!! It's the bomb! And today, reminded me of all that I was missing! I had the most delicious baked potato soup and a chicken chipotle sandwich -- ugh. SO GOOD! (don't mind me and my food in this post...I'm pre-menstrual so I've been hungry 24/7 fr the past three days, unfortunately LMAO!) I mean really, find a Panera by you..and go eat there. Take your mom for Mother's Day, actually. Something. Just go! I know in Southern Jersey they have "Atlantic Bread Company" which is like a bootleg version of Panera...NOT THE SAME! There's Cosi as well....NOT THE SAME! They try...but they FAIL. So yeah...if you see one on your way someplace...stop. Turn around and go inside. It'll make you so happy. LOL

    So that was my foodend...I mean weekend. :puts the turkey sandwich down: sigh. Let me go work out before I start on those cupcakes. haha.

      Sleeplessness Part II
    I've decided to continue that last "sleeplessness rant". It is
    currently, 4:32 in the morning, I have just finished 200 crunches, some
    squats, etc. My insomnia inspires me to work out. LOL. Although I
    cheated ALL week --- shhh!

    Anywho, back onto the LAST topic I ranted about. HIM. He is, I think,
    unreachable. That or in a totally different world/state of mind than I
    am.

    (((Off Topic: they're playing Robyn's "Do You Know What It Takes" on
    Music Choice right now. Lmao. I never thought she was THAT
    hot....hm.)))

    So yeah..I get this whole "I am too busy and pre-occupied with my own
    life to be interested in yours" kind of feeling from HIM. THAT pisses me
    off. And its not only in the sense of "attempting to 'get to know him
    better'" but even in a "trying to be friends" notion. Honestly, I
    couldn't even imagine a way to be remotely "friends" with him. He is
    so....I don't the word; untouchable? As if he is on this pedastal, by
    himself. All I can do is walk around the base of him and look up because
    I have no idea what is at the top.

    I would LIKE to know..but trust me. I am not going out of my way for
    someone who suddenly acts as if I'm a brick.

    Have you ever met someone that you would like to know, be it a guy or
    girl, and they just act like its too much to fit you into their lives?
    Even to just say "hello" back to you, is like taking a knife to a vein,
    in their mind. I don't understand, and I tried to steer clear of using
    this word, but I truly don't understand how selfish people can be. I
    really, really don't.

    My intentions were good. I didn't expect much of anything but to chat
    here and there. However, the few times I'd say something it was like "
    why are YOU talking to me?"

    I don't know why I was talking to you....

    All I can say is...
    You LOST ONE. - Jay-Z
