Blackberry aka Crackberry; Fall

So randomly the other day at work I decided that summer is no longer my favorite season. I mean yeah I was born in the summer, and I love going to the beach [ I fell in ♥ with Virginia Beach ] and I love ice cream, I mean hey I've been working at Dairy Queen for three years, so that was bound to happen. But I think fall has my heart, I love wearing dark jeans, sweaters, cardigans, boots and the colors are so beautiful. Perfect day would be Caribou Coffee, good book, warm sweater, I could just chill on my porch and kick back. Fall is also football and I love to watch football, like the sport is just so entertaining, and I get so excited. So besides fall being my new favorite season I'm just getting really excited because Halloween & Thanksgiving is also during the fall. I love thanksgiving, because I love food, which we should all know this by now, I also like Halloween because I love dressing up and being whatever I want for that particular day. So fall you have captured my heart, way to go you!

So my phone has been off for sometime now and I'm really sad, because my phone is definitely apart of me. I recently seen this girl who had a blackberry curve, which I also have and she painted it PINK. I ♥ pink so much, it's my favorite color, and before I had a blackberry curve I had a blackberry pearl and just put a pink cover over it but well, if I can actually paint it pink Im so down for it. You have to see how beautiful this phone is. look for yourself:

Now she did this with Krylon spray paint? I definitely want to try this, but I can't afford to mess up, so should I do this or not? I'm leaning more towards yes, but we'll see because I did see this really pretty case, but I don't really cases just because it's makes it all chunky sort of, but whatever. Hopefully I'll gain the courage to do this and my phone will be just as prettyful. Can't wait to have updates :)

Dairy Queen

So for those of you who are still clueless I work at Dairy Queen. Now this job has it's pros and cons but mostly I always have CRAZY customer stories I have to tell and sometimes it gets quite annoying and becomes frustrating more than entertaining. I have been working at DQ for 3 years now, I started in 2006 and there is ALWAYS going to be crazy stories when it comes to dealing with customers. We get this magazine at the store and now I can't remember what it's called but there's always a part in the magazine that has customer letters telling about their good experience or the bad experience they had when visiting various Dairy Queens across the United States. Well some of them are cool, and others are just the typical complaining of what we as the employee could have done better to make their visiting experience up to par, well people it's time to see the other side of the story. Today I was at work and it was almost time for us to close, one of my biggest pet peeves is when a customer sees the lights are off, the open signs are off, the roof signs are off and they come up to the window anyway and ask " Are you still open?"

# 1. Is it not obvious that we're closed when everything that is usually on during operating hours is off

# 2. Do you really care if we're open, or is it just you as the customer trying to be annoying, because regardless if we are open or not you are still going to want some ice cream.

If you're going to ask me if we're open, and I tell you no, then LEAVE. Do not stand around with that stupid face and look as though I'm supposed to stay up for you, because then YOU attract MORE customers. Now I know this sounds really mean, but if only you could understand how often I have to put up with this annoying question like it doesn't matter if we're closed or not so please do not ask because you will still proceed to give your order anyway, because you want some ice cream. Now not only does it drive me insane when that happens, BUT the funniest thing that I actually find really entertaining is the fact that people will come and order a EXTRA LARGE BLIZZARD, which is a ridiculous amount of ice cream and then along with all of those calories order a EXTRA LARGE DIET POP. Seriously??? What is the point of this people, please let me know? I don't understand how that all balances out. Now another great thing you get to experience when working at Dairy Queen is the fact that when cutomers have an attitude they want you to still continue to be polite to them. For example, I worked tonight from 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm. I got there early though and it was about 9 almost 9:30 and this guy comes up to the window and says he wants six items, and I'm like okay what can I get you, and he says six items again, and then as I proceed to ask him again what six things he wants, he says I'm trying to tell you I want six things, now if you can be quiet I'll tell you, but since you want to do it your way fine. He orders 2 hot dogs, 2 polish sausage and 2 large mistys, then gives me some money [ now even though I had to put up with his attitude I still made a tip ] but the weirdest things happens, he's waiting for his order then the next thing I know I look up and he's gone on his bike. SUPER WEIRD. Why do you pay for all that stuff, and then leave? That's just not all that smart, but hey whatever. I experience a lot of things working at Dairy Queen, some good, some bad, but the location that I work with and the people and managers are amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Regardless of the rude, inconsiderate customers I have to deal with from time to time. Oh and another thing that I think is super cool is the fact that I work at the first dairy queen ever built in minnesota. Go a head, hate on it. :)

late night/ early morning. Whatev floats your boat.

Hmmm, so not to be the whiner, although I feel like since I said that it will be exactly what this post sounds like but I swear I think birth control makes you even more emotional. Yes, for those of you who don't know, although I personally don't think it's a big deal I'm on birth control or ( BCP ) which by the way [ Lilly you have inspired me to write " no babies " on my pack as well ] but any who I always find myself like really emotional over stuff that probably should be that serious you know. But then I think on it and I'm like okay, but I'm not always like this so it's like small spurts or whatever. It's just annoying, I started working again back at DQ aka Dairy Queen for those of you who are clueless to what that meant and I don't have a day off until Wednesday. I'm not complaining at all, NO NO not at all, I NEED THE MONEY. But I already feel that feeling that I always get when I'm heading down the "doing too much" road. I feel like I need to start writing again, man this is kind of creepy because I been reading my brother's god sister's blog too, and she said she use to write ALL THE TIME. Well, I was the exact same way. I had this brown journal my mom gave me and it had a song on the cover page, well a few pages in and it was the song " I hope you dance" by Lee Ann Womack. I love that song, it's super inspirational, as a matter of fact that will be my song playing on page for a few days. But anyways, I would write ALL THE TIME my senior year, about whatever I was feeling, poems, thoughts, quotes, whatever and it would be like a weight lifted off my shoulder. But now, I just don't write. Maybe I don't have the time, or maybe it is " permanent writers block" whatever it is I need a release like 3 weeks ago, something's gotta give. I need a breath of fresh air.

Death to ALL flies.

So basically I am so pissed off right now, because of this stupid FLY! The sound that a fly make truly freaks me out and there's one in the house right now, I believe it's horse fly because it's extremely loud when it's flying around. Now, I tried to do something totally out of character and freaking let the fly out the back door at freakin` 11 pm at night, but NOOO the fly DOES NOT appreciate my kindness which I rarely show when it comes to insects, bugs whatever you want to call it and I usually kill it. I mean honestly I'm sure that there is a reason why bugs exist but I HATE them passionately. They disgust me to the utmost power and it freaks me out that this fly will be flying around in my house while I'm sleep, if I ever get there simply because I do not want to wake up to that sound buzzing in my ear. WHAT THEE EFF! UGHHH! I am so mad seriously, like I know it sound dramatic but you just don't understand, I cannot stand, spider, bees, wasps, dragon flies, flies period! UGHH!

120.

Okay so people I'm really excited, I stepped on the scale today and the number that read back to me made me smile. I was at 130 when I was sick and had to go the emergency room and all that, but I usually was 119-120. So today I was trying to measure a book,[ yes on a home scale I didn't know what else to use ] and I was like oh what the hay, let's see how much I weigh, and lo and behold 120 stared back at me. EXCITING. Yes I know, I mean clearly I've been doing something right that I lost 10 lbs, but if only I could get a bit more toned, and have a flatter stomach, I would be so much more happier. Although I do complain about these things from time to time, I have a HUGE passion for food, that I cannot give up anytime soon. But I just though I'd share this news with you, and now I'm off to find something to eat. Hopefully the tens lbs don't come back too soon. I really don't miss them all too much.
