back by popular demandddd..



Okay, so i may not be the most devoted blogger, but i am going to try to be better! I haven't been particularly busy or up to interesting things, so this will be a short one.
I've been rereading harry potter series, backwards starting with the halfblood prince, and now i'm at prisoner of azkaban at the end of it. i'll finish that today out on the deck getting some sun (but fully covered in sunscreenm mom. Don't worry!) I've been non-stop harry potter, so I am begining to see/ compare everything to if i wasn't a muggle. Lol for instance when I got my school marks back, I realized that I definately got a T (for troll) in french class, but at least I got the credit. I wondered this morning while jogging with Mollie if it would be easier to bewitch my ipod to float along next to me rather than trying to hold it in my hand with mollie's leash. *sigh* if only...
My nails are holding up well, Bonnie did an EXCELLENT job for a great price. I have an appointment with her Monday at 10am to have them refilled and get my thumb nail put on. speaking of appointments, I have a hair appointment for friday at Lolas with Cheryl, for a cut and dye,. That's right, i'm going short again, and adding some professional hair dye to the mix. I've never had my hair coloured professionally, so i am a little excited/nervous. I have a picturte of the cut i'd like, so I'm going to bring that, with a few adjustments. Ashley tells me cheryl is great, so I am like 95% excited, 5% nervous.
Work is going very well, I love the people I work with. I really enjoy my shifts, they aren't nearly as dreadful as my zellers ones. Being around diamonds all day certainly is all its cracked up to be. We've started doing counts for inventory with handhelds. I did a case of watch straps, and it went quite well i think. :) I have a shift next tuesday morning with Wendy at 7AM to reconcile all the mistakes and do physical counts of everything. yikes!
I've been using the Dove self tanning cream fo the past 4 days, and I am really impressed with how well it is working. Not only that, but my skin is SO SOFT. I'll be excited to see the results after one week!

Some upcoming events to be excited for in the next month or so (and i hope i remember to blog them):
Haircut at Lolas!
Trip to Oaklawn farm!
Nails at Bonnies! (can't decide whether to have my tips sparkly white or hot pink...)
A swim at the walkers pool?
Inventory at Peoples
A trip to Upper Clements park :)
The Tattoo In Halifax (With scoots lynds and Asif)


That is all for now! The end :)

Many days later!

Oh deary me! I can't believe I've neglected my blog so long! Since I left off last, I've been to Goosebay and back, and started a new job! Our trip to Goose was great, and very very snowy! (compared to Nova Scotia) We got to relax, eat great food and spend some time with Scotts parents! Not to mention enjoy the great views and nature around the area. Even though it is small, there are some great stores with local crafts and a really interesting interpretation centre all about the lifestyle and the history of the region!

Since I've been home (all four days so far) I've worked three shifts. I'm remembering lots, but I still have quite a bit to learn about all the styles, stones, sales and the store in general. i have a little information book to read and then I get to do a test. I've read it once through, I'll have to go over it a couple more times before I feel confident though. It's fairly interesting all about stones and carats and different types of gold etc. My first day at work I split two nails and broke one, and the next shift I broke the rest. Aarrrgg. So today I'm headed to Lolas to get nails put on. I'm excited, it'll certainly take some getting used to.

That's pretty much it for now, make sure you check out Steph's Blog, really awesome description of her trip in Mexico so far!
