I’m Back, or At Least I Kind of Am.

Amber — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 12:38:43 +0000

It’s really good to be back in Texas. I had a lot of fun in Idaho. You can see all my pictures on my Flickr account if you’re interested But anyway, I am back, sort of. I’ve taken a short break from the computer and got my life sorted out, started back at college and everything is going smooth..for now at least. Starbucks hasn’t given me any hours in the past two weeks, and I have no idea if I’ll be working this coming week either. I have to go up there today and see what’s up with my schedule and if they don’t give me hours, I’m quitting. I know, I know, I wanted the job so bad, but I’m not going to put up with that big of a cut on my hours..it’s kind of ridiculous! But yeah, so I don’t have too much time to update right now because Andy and I have been watching movies for the past few hours. First was The Sixth Day and now we’re taking a small break right in the middle of P.S I Love You. I’ll be sure to have reviews for them later on! (That’s something else I need to get back in the habit of doing as well) But for now I have to get back to the movie Toodles!

Snow..In Texas?!

Amber — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:13:57 +0000

Yessss! It snowed on Wednesday! It was so awesome You can check out all the pictures from it on My Myspace for all the pictures of it I totally can’t wait for Christmas to come now Over this week I’ve been surfing Threadless and blowing a lot of moeny on the $5, $10, and $15 t-shirts they have right now Here’s all the shirts I got! You can hover over them to see what they are called and click on them to go to their full pages to see the full shirt

Those will be here today. I’m waiting for the UPS to get here with them already! They were supposed to be here yesterday but for some reason they rescheduled the delivery for today. Then yesterday I ordered these shirts

Hopefully those will be here by Monday or Tuesday I’m excited!!

Other than all that, I don’t have anything to update about right now really. I’m out of class for the time being, at least until January 20th which is when the new semester starts here. I did very well in College Algebra.. I aced it with an A! As far as Psychology is involved, I have no idea what my grade is but I’m sure I did well. Now, Chemistry, that’s another story. I didn’t go to my final specifically because I basically stopped caring for that class. I made a 30 on the last exam and I know there’s no way for me to possibly pass that class even if I made a 50 on the final exam, so I just didn’t waste my time on it. I’m going to fail it anyway and I’m not going to retake it either..I only have to have a year of a science so I’m switching it over to Biology instead. I don’t know why in my right mind I would ever want to take chemistry over biology! I’m crazy sometimes.. The Q*Bee blog day is on the 15th so that’s when you can expect another blog entry from me. Toodles for now

WordPress 2.6 and other stuffs

Amber — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:14:03 +0000

I finally got my butt to update WordPress. I was using the ancient version 2.3 for ages, and I finally got tired of it and updated. I’m glad I did because I love the new interface I also installed the TTFTitles plugin so my blog entry titles would look better I have an exam Psychology class today which I haven’t spent one second studying for, so I’m going to take the next hour or so that I have to do that. I’ll update tomorrow after class!

Starbucks, Bath & Body Works, and Lots More

Amber — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:43:00 +0000

Yesterday morning I received a phone call from Starbucks asking me to come to an interview at 6 tomorrow How cool is that? I barely turned in my application 24 hours before and already was being contacted. They must think I’m the greatest (of course I am!) . So tomorrow will be pretty busy for me. I have class from 8 to 11:30 AM and a Algebra review session from 5-6 (which I’ll have to leave early now) and then the interview. So I have to look all nice and pretty before 4:30PM.

After I left college yesterday, Andy and I headed over to the mall to visit Bath & Body Works. I didn’t want to go to the one I recently applied at because I figured I’d feel out of place and weird there having been denied a job. I went there with a coupon for 20% off my entire purchase and also one for a free bottle of lotion. Of course I used both. I bought Irresistable Apple body splash, Black Amethyst body splash, Pumpkin Spice pumpkin candle, A 3-pack of the limited edition Forever Festive holiday scents, and my free bottle of Sweet Pea lotion. Now, normally all this stuff would cost $50, but with my coupon and an additional free $10 item coupon one of the clerks gave me, the cost was brought down to just under $20. I’m always the best shopper

I have to pick my sister up from school in a few minutes so this blog is getting cut short. Toodles!

New Theme, Yay!

Amber — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:45:14 +0000

Even though I’m a huge fan of Halloween, I just couldn’t stand my site looking so gloomy and dark any longer. So here is a new theme it’s based off one of my previous themes. Click Here to view it There’s many differences but I kept some elements I favored. Which one do you think is better?

Last weekend Andy and I went to a Halloween party, so we got to dress up in our costumes! It was a lot of fun especially since I got to do both of our makeup myself. Before the party we had to go shopping around to find me a cat tail and andy some dog ears and a dog collar. Party City had some for $10 so I went ahead and got them for him. He looked so good in his costume, especially the way I did his makeup I bought some clip-on whiskers which looked a lot better than just drawing whiskers on my face with makeup. They only cost $2.00 too and I can reuse them over and over. What do you think about our costumes? We have to wear them again on Halloween night so hopefully I can recreate how I did my magic that night. Now, I know it might be a bit childish and dumb but both me and him are actually thinking about going Trick-or-Treating this year. Firstly, because we want some free candy. The people give out whole candy bars in this ritzy rich neighborhood a few miles away which is totally awesome Secondly, we love doing silly stuff together, especially when it involves us dressing up and acting like little kids! Third, there’s nothing else we could do that night. No one that I know is having a party so we have to figure out something to do. So, that seems like a good plan for the both of us

I’ve been doing really well in my college classes lately. I’ve started to really pay attention in class so I can actually learn things for once instead of blowing everything off until exam days I’ve also been working on my procrastination problem by doing all my assignments the day I get them, or at least within a few days time. So far my plan has been working successfully.

This weekend is the Wings Over Houston Airshow. I really want to go but the tickets are $15 if I buy them by midnight tonight or $20 at the door. The weather has been absolutely beautiful since Fall started, so that just might be enough to persuade me into going with Andy Oh, and I’m also still waiting for Bath & Body Works to call me. I hope they do by this evening! I wish I could update more right now, but if I want to goto the airshow I need to get my butt working on my homework. Toodles!

Busy, Busy Busy!

Amber — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:54:54 +0000

Whew! I have been a mess lately. I’ve been very, very busy with getting back to school and settling back into a regular daily routine. Finally I’ve managed to do that. I’m still a tiny bit behind on some school work but other than that I’m fine and dandy. I’ve put a Halloween theme up to be festive and all since October is my favorite month of the year (other than December of course :D) Hope you guys like it. Andy and I have been job hunting and stuff. I sent an application to Bath & Body Works for a seasonal job earlier tonight. I hope they hire me I think it’d be nice working there, especially since they get a nice discount on things Well, I didn’t plan on doing a big update until later tomorrow night, so check in then. Toodles!

College, Hurricanes, and Drama

Amber — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 23:20:16 +0000

So, I’ve been gone for over a month now and had planned to come back to my online abode last week, but Hurricane Ike got in the way. Talk about a wicked storm. If any of you guys have been watching the news coverage on it, believe me watching it on tv is nothing like seeing it in person. Friday night my family and I “evacuated” to my grandmother’s house. She lives only 7 miles away from us by the way.The main point as to why we went there was because my family and I live in a trailer (not the dumpy trailer park kind- it’s a very nice quad trailer..bigger than most of my friends’ houses!) so we figured it’d be a lot safer to ride the storm out in a house. Big mistake. Let me list a lot of what went on. We had power until around 10pm when the winds really started picking up. I have never seen such high winds in my life. Transformers were popping all over the neighborhood making the sky flash bright green. A telephone pole caught on fire across the street and we had to call the fire department. Around 3 in the morning after a lot of trees had broken in the front yard making it completely inaccessable unless you drove a bulldozer through it..a huge tree limb falls on the roof and right onto the porch, casting a baby robin right through the front door. Luckily it lived but I think it’s foot and wing were broken. Where we were, we got the Western eyewall of the storm which is where the highest winds come from. It peaked at about 120 MPH, much greater than a supposed category 2 hurricane has. So for that reason, my grandmother’s house got hit a whole lot worse than my house. A telephone pole fell in my grandparent’s back yard ripping out the power box and completely damaging the back fence. I fell asleep around 7AM, an hour or so after the eye passed over us. I woke up extremely sweaty around 2PM. The power was out so there was no AC. I was so mad and frustrated. Andy and I went walking around the neighborhood to see what kind of damage took place. There were so many trees uprooted everywhere the neighborhood was inaccessible. I ended up getting stuck 3 foot in some mud and lost a shoe on the way. I spent 20 minutes trying to dig it out while one of the neighbors decided he was going to try and give me his stand-up comedy act. I never got my shoe. So it’s still 3 feet in the ground in front of some stranger’s house. Talk about a lot to deal with.We came back to my house Saturday evening and took the baby robin we brought with us out of the box and it was dead My mom thinks it died from internal injuries. On the other hand, we got power the next morning. Yay! Anyway, I’m waiting for Andy and my mother to come back from thr grocery store. A lot of the city still doesn’t have power yet so school has been canceled until Monday 9/22. Woopie! I’ve gotten a nice week and a half long vacation for all of this. So, I’m going to be busy with recovering from the storm and stuff so don’t expect many updates for a while. I apologize! I’ll try and blog every once in a while just so everyone knows I’m still alive and all

Hiatus Until Mid-September

Amber — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 02:47:20 +0000

That’s right, I’m going on a short term hiatus. This Wednesday I’m leaving for California! I’m so excited I can’t hardly wait. I’m in the process of packing and all, trying not to forget anything I’m going to need. When I get back I’ll be starting college classes so I want to take time to get used to my new schedule and all, yanno? So, until around mid-September I won’t be making any updates (except on myspace and flickr) I’ll still be on AIM and stuff so if you must contact me for some reason, you can IM me at ItsAmbrosity. Toodles until September!

New Job

Amber — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:52:57 +0000

I got a new job on Tuesday. I’m a sandwich artist at Subway I’ve worked the past three days and so far I’m liking it very much, except when there’s a huge surge of customers. I’ve worked 14 hours already on a 6 dollar an hour wage (Sucks, I know) so, so far I’ve made about 54 dollars, give or take a few for staying over my time tonight. Tomorrow is graduation! I’m so excited! It all starts at 7pm tomorrow evening but I have to be there around 6:15 to get prepared and stuff I guess. I’m so glad I’m finally done with high school..now it’s off to college!! I will be updating more over the next few days hopefully- since I have a job now there will be less updates but I will try to get more done than normal. Toodles!

It’s official

Amber — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:47:49 +0000

Funny things my family says
Grandpa: “I don’t want to trade in my TV just because it’s old. I’m old.. Does that mean you’re going to trade me in for a new grandfather?”

I put my two weeks notice in at work. I honestly don’t think I can work at Toys R Us anymore, at least for the time being. I am extremely busy with school and my own personal life. I don’t think I need the stress of working right now. And anyways, I’m only making 6 bucks an hour! I think I can do a little better than that at another job. I have a 1,000 word essay due on monday evening and I haven’t had any time to start on it since I’ve been busy with other schoolwork and my job..So I decided I should just quit. I really need to start on that paper though, so I better stop my updating here for now.
