Do It Well

My new favorite song that I am addicted to: Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well. I know it’s been almost 2 months since I’ve written. Did you think I was dead? I would have. LOL I can’t believe that much time has gone by. And here I thought I’d have all the time in the world to write with football season and all. Turns out I was way wrong.

My life has been flying by, as I said. Christmas seems to be coming up so fast. It doesn’t help that I work in retail and we started getting Christmas things in October. But at least we’ve got some awesome things at Pier 1 Imports. I never thought that Pier 1 carried so much for the holidays, but they have some of the neatest ornaments and the coolest decorations I’ve ever seen. Everything is so unique and well designed. Speaking of work, I got Associate of the Quarter!! It’s so great to know that I’m appreciated for what I do. I know how to do my job and do it well and that’s something I’m very proud of, so I was super thrilled to learn that my managers think the same! I got a $50 gift certificate and a couple of gift-y items. I bought my lamp and 3 ornaments with my certificate. I’ve been wanting this lamp since we got it in and it looks amazing with my frog and candles on my dresser. I’ve got a picture here so you can see what it looks like. The placemats, frog, candles, candle holder, and lamp were all purchased over a period of time at Pier 1. Since I started working there I’ve decided that my room needs to coordinate. My blue walls do not match anything that is relevant to this decade, so until it gets repainted, I’m stuck with ugly blue for a backdrop. Oh well.

As for my love life…it still sizzles. JN and I are going on 7 months now and while we practically live together, we haven’t managed to go insane. I always want to spend my time with him! He’s just that addicting! It’s got me thinking, though. When I look back and remember all the people I’ve known and the relationships they have been in or are still in, it makes me so glad I’ve found my guy. I always believed in finding that perfect person who will be everything you’d ever want, but I also was afraid that it might be easier to just settle for what I had. I’m so glad I didn’t. There are so many women out there who are settling for guys that don’t treat them the way they should and don’t know what they’re really worth, thinking that he’ll change or grow up eventually (You are so wrong!). I’m telling you, hold out. Hold out for that dream guy as long as you can and don’t settle for anything less. You’ll be happy that you did and you won’t have wasted 2 years with some prick who never deserved you anyway. Not that I would know…

Anyway, I’m working on a holiday layout that should be up soon. I am really going to try to update more often because I can literally see the spider webs forming around poor Cameran up there. I did add two pictures of my and my man in the current pictures section of my Brit page, so you are more than welcome to check them out! If I don’t write, I hope those of you who celebrate it have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
