Finally!

So for all you people who have give up hope of me ever writing on this thing again, here's a tidbit for ya. Let me update you guys on a couple things because my mom is mad at me for not updating this thing as often as she wants me to, so this is mostley for her. Ok...here's the cliffnotes version:

1- Broke up with heath in april
2- Started dating daniel in may
3- Did bloomsday (wanted to die)
4- still in bridal hell
5- went to portland for the first time
6-moving to portland in march 07'

That's an update, but now I'll elaborate. I met daniel at a party in the beginning of may. He's shorter than me so I really didn't want to give him a chance (the butthead that I am). My best friend cathryn then called me choice words, including hypocrite because she "reminded" me that I'm always complaining about how I want people to accept me, blah, blah, blah, and how I suck because I'm not giving this really cool guy who totally digs me the time of day because he's shorter than me ( i'm 6'0 and he's 5'8). So because she was right, I decided to give him a chance. I don't thing I've ever made a better decision. He's graduating from a top cosmitoligist school in oct. and he wants to get out of this town just as much as I do. I've already met his family and they all love me, and I totally adore them. My parents haven't met him yet, but I was trying to make sure that we were a for sure thing before I got thier hopes up (yet again).

His parents took daniel and I out to dinner a couple of days ago, and when his dad and I were waiting in the car for daniel and his mom, he asked me if I knew why they took us out, and me not knowing, he told me that they were celebrating of sorts, and of course I asked why, and he told me it was because of me! They were so happy to see thier son dating a wonderful person, that they wanted to share in the happy-feely stuff (awwwww!!). That touched my heart, no parent of a significant other as EVER said that about me. The next moment my thought was " ok, NOW he gets to meet my family". And this time I'm not nervous or worried about anything like I was last time. Heath meeting my family and watching them interact was kind of the clinching point in me not wanted to be in a relationship anymore. He embarrassed me and my sister and all sorts of stuff. He tried to hard to impress people, and I know daniel will be a little nervious, but he won't try and dance with my sister and sing show tunes in the middle of a crowded mall!!

Work is ok, I'm just trying to survive this bridal season. It lasts for about 1 more month, and then things will start to quiet down. Our main presser is leaving early next month, so I get to go back to my old ways. I am realizing that I can do EVERY job in this place, and I think that means I should get a raise because if a key person quites, who's going to take up the slack?? ME! I don't think I'm even close to earning enough for the kind of crap that I go through on a daily basis! My manager is completly incompetent, and not to mention the most fake person I know. The only reason I'm even remotely nice to her is because it keeps the peace, but it's really hard to stand there and sympathize with a woman who's a size 2 complain about stretch marks and the only "fat" on her body which is only extra skin from 2 babies, complain about her body image and her lack of relationship type action! She drives me insane. I told one of my co-workers that I'm going to start writing a memoire of all the crap that happens to me at this place, cause I totally belive that it would be a best seller, people would eat this stuff up I'm telling ya!

Any way, I'm only able to write this because I'm stuck at work waiting for a customer who is freaking out because she wants to order her dress befores she moves to montana, TOMORROW. I'm not even going to mention that she's been in here a bazillion times with every friend she's ever had, past, present, and the nice people she just happens to meet on the street, and now she calls up in a panic because we close at 5:30 and she doesn't get off until 6. Oh, this place owes me big. I don't get comission, so I'm doing this out of the goodness of my own heart! Gah!

Hopefully I can update a little more often, but mom, don't get frustrated if I don't, it just means I can't sneak on the computer at work! Cheers!
