Brandy's Success Diary

I have a job interview tomorrow! Its at Friendly's.... a corporate family style restaurant... not that nice of one, but a restaurant nontheless. And I applied about a month ago to be a waitress and to be a cook, so I will be happy interviewing for either of them. It will be nice to finally get some sort of income. I am really hoping that I will leave there with some good news tomorrow!!! And, though this isn't nearly as good, I will probably be getting my package from Avon tomorrow, so that means some new makeup and hair supplies! :p I'm such a girl. lol.

Everyone wish me luck.
 
WOOHOO, I went for the job interview... and I left with 2 jobs! I will be working as the icecream girl, and as a grill cook! And I will start actually working next weekend!!

And its very very likely that I will be getting my kitty tomorrow!

I don't have time to resize the pictures right now, seeing as I am getting a migraine. I think I need a little nap now.

But Dan and I adopted a 10 month old boy cat, doesn't have a permanent name yet... but here is what he looks like.

Those are all at the adoption center. We will be taking him home on Monday night after he gets neutered. <3
 
I just watched the movie Twilight. And its officially become my FAVORITE movie ever. I'm such a dork! lol.

I have decided to name my kitty cat Jinx. And I can't stop thinking about him. He was just so cute, playful, and SOOO soft. And I wanted to take him home right away. So, I'm a little bummed out that I won't see him until Monday, but I'm also very excited and looking forward to his homecoming.

Tomorrow will be pretty busy anyways. I need to go out shopping for clothes for my new job, (also very excited about), and I need to write a paper on symbolism. My week of spring break has made me relaxed.. and I forgot about all the homework I have to do. Too many exciting things right now. But, like I've said for ages... once I get BUSY (with work, scheduling, etc) I become MUCH more productive. And it won't be hard to get it done. I prioritize better when I'm busy. Am I crazy? Or does that make sense? *shrug*
 
Entry just to focus my thoughts and priorities.

I need to make a plan tomorrow, because whether I like it or not, it has to be a productive day, or else I'm going to be FAR behind schedule on a lot of things. I need to wake up in the morning, have a HEALTHY breakfast, go on a bike ride, come back and call my mom so we can go out shopping for a new shirt and shoes for work, come back and get a TON of laundry done before kitty comes home on Monday, organize our counters and desks because Our kitty (now named Jinx) is going to be a jumper, we can already tell. I also have to do most of my symbolism essay due on Wednesday, and get in 2 work out DVDs.

Tomorrow is going to be a spotless day.

Food plan:

Breakfast- Cheerios with skim milk
Lunch- a piece of fruit, and a salad
Dinner- Chicken breast and broccoli.
Snacks- we'll see as we go along. But that is my basic plan.

Exercise: Bike ride, weight loss yoga, and bootcamp DVD.
Homework: Symbolism Essay
Chores: Laundry, house organization
Errands: Shopping for work uniform necessities.

(That is pretty much my usual to do list style. lol.)
 
I loved Twilight, well the movie was ok but the boooks rocked!!!Wanna talk abt a dork, I saw the movie the first day it was out, we went to a matain before heading to a concert, LOL!!!

You can will do this you know:D

Ive got to get my shit together here...Well i will starting tomorrow.

 
I'm pretty excited to be getting back on schedule with a lot to do every day. Since I've been out of work, I've been super lazy. And I realized that since I won't have any school payments anymore... I will have money to get saving. I will only have one class to pay for, and for the sounds of it I will have plenty of hours. I went out today and I already bought everything I need for work except for a black belt. My mom helped me out. Thank God for Mommies. lol. I still have a lot of cleaning to do tonight, and I need to start my essays. I have been doing a TON of walking today while shopping for 5 hours with my mom. And TOM came today as well, but I kept aspirin in my purse with me all day, along with a bottle of water, so the pain has been minimal. Later tonight I will be doing some more exercise. I would still love a bike ride.

Looking at the future... it really seems like I'm not going to have time for much of anything. Between the end of the school semester, a new kitten to play with and take care of, a new job, going to my mom's on Tuesdays, and my dad's on Thursdays... It is just going to be very hectic. But I will be more productive that way, and probably lose a lot more weight! lol.

Tomorrow is the Boston Food Expo! I think it will be pretty fun. I always love going into Boston. And hopefully (please cross your fingers for me) Jinx the kitty will be coming home after we get back!!!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!!
 
I've been reading here frequently, but not posting - I keep putting it off - but I MUST say I'm sooo pleased for you about the job. I hope it all works out well. It sounds like you're doing pretty well in lots of ways. The little kitty is way cute! He has a lively light in his eye! I bet you have fun with him.
 
Jinxy will be home in about 1.5 hours!! We will pick him up in an hour, and I already have everything set up for him, and the carrier is out and ready so we don't have to put him in a cardboard box on the way home.

Then food expo was fun, but too many sales people in one place... and I hate dealing with them as it is! lol. I'm a sucker and I'm clueless. rofl.

I'm going to play with kitty for a bit when I get home, and then its off to do some essays, and probably an early bedtime tonight because I am TOTALLY exhausted from walking around Boston all morning.
 
Its been a good day so far today, I have about 40 minutes left before I need to leave for work, and it looks like I'm going to have a few quick minutes to update. :) My class today ended up just being a lecture class, so I got out 2 hours early! And then I ended up taking advantage of the time to take a nice, long, hot shower before work. I have worked on my essays... but just barely. I shouldn't be at work for too long, actually... I might even get hours of ACTUALLY working instead of just today's quick orientation.

I have a long, long, LONG list of things that need to get done eventually. I feel like the list will NEVER end. Jeesh.

I feel really fat in my work uniform. I just hate wearing tight fitting shirts, especially when every girl I work with is STICK thin. And about 5 inches shorter than me! I will just have to get over it, and present myself with some sort of confidence. Thats my plan anyways. And I guess its more motivation to get the weight off so I can feel comfortable.

I have so many lists and schedules for myself to make sure I get money for bills and things I need to buy, for keeping track of homework and projects that need to be done, for a cleaning schedule (dust/laundry days/etc) so that Jinxy will not get into anything [He has been going under the couch sometimes, and it is really dusty I think, because he is sneezy a lot], and for times and things to remember when I have to go visit my family... its like my mind cannot remember it all. So I have to do lists and calendar alerts and reminders, and everything else all programed into my phone so I can keep everything together.

I don't know how I'm going to make it through the night. I'm still EXHAUSTED. I feel like I haven't gotten any sleep. But things are going along swimmingly today, so I should complain. But its going to be an EARLY bed time tonight.
 
I'm proud of myself because I have been doing really well keeping up with my to-do lists. It still feels like for every 1 thing I complete, I have to add 2 things, but eventually I will be all caught up. I went on a 1 hour walk with Danny today and it was great, except I stopped at a store and got a reese's icecream bar thing. lol. I have to get the good eating and exercise routine back with my busy schedule. I still have a ton of homework that keeps coming my way, but I'm keeping it under control. I feel like super woman sometimes because I don't remember EVER being this productive. hahah.

I have to go get a couple of chores done before I pick up my sister from Kindergarten and spend the evening with her at my father's house. Then I will be coming home and doing a quick homework assignment, a load of laundry, and probably doing some reading to relax.

I feel like I have everything together right now. :D

Im so happy that you are back!!
 
I had a HORRIBLE, repeat... HORRIBLE day at work. Its too complicated to completely explain everything. But it was my first day on, and people were seriously REFUSING to train me. I would ask questions and want to help, but they kept ignoring me. And some REALLY rude kid came into work and pretty much told me he hated me and that I was lazy. And it went on for about an hour, and then I asked to go home and actually train on Monday. And I'm excited to work with the girl I am supposed to work with. Hopefully I will actually learn something.

Anyways, I have about 35 hours at work next week, on top of going to school for however many hours... and this Thursday I am working, so I cannot pick up my sister. I need to think of another day to spend time with that side of the family, and I think the week after that I am going to ask for Thursdays off.

I am just emotionally drained from having such a bad day at work. I called Dan and cried to him the whole way home, and came home and cried myself into a headache for the next hour. And now Danny went to work, and I am about to head out again. Today is my brother's 17th birthday, so I am supposed to go out to dinner with them, but I just had a cheeseburger so I'm not that hungry. And I really feel bad leaving my kitty home alone. This is my time to spend some time with him because I'm really never home anymore.

*shrug* I'm really really drained. Its been a day from hell. I think I will go out to dinner with my family and then come home and cuddle with Jinx and watch a movie and finish my book.

I know I'm lucky to have an income again, and I am ETERNALLY lucky for my family and friends. So I can't let one bad day at work get me down.
 
Knowing your wonderful ability to bounce back, I'm sure you've started a better day and are coping well again by now. Take deep breaths (as you would tell me), and get stuck in - you have heaps on - but it's exciting stuff.

Good luck for Monday.
 
I had a day off today. And to be honest, I've done NOTHING except for a load of laundry. I am trying to finish my Harry Potter series, and I'm on book 6. I started that book not too long ago, and earlier today I chatted online to 3 people at once. And of course I've been playing with my kitten. I still have some laundry to get done tonight, and I might do a homework assignment before I fall asleep. Besides that I just want to take advantage of my day off to read as much as I can. I LOVE to read. It is such a relaxation thing for me. I am SO busy for the rest of the week, that I am not quite sure when the next time I will have down-time is.

And here's why:
Monday- homework and chores in the morning, work 3 to 8pm
Tuesday- School from 8 am to 4pm, Mom's house while doing homework from 5 to 10:30pm
Wednesday- Homework in the morning, school from 2 to 5, MIL's birthday party at night, studying until bed
Thursday- School from 8am to 2pm, work from 3 to 10:30pm
Friday- School from 8 to 12, work from 3 to 11:30pm
Saturday- Papers, studying, and household maintenance during the day, work from 5 to 10:30pm
Sunday- work from 12 to 8pm

And I will probably be following a similar schedule for the continuing weeks. Today is a much needed break. And before bed some nights I will probably watch a movie, tv show, or read in my book to relax.

I know I can fit some healthy food into my schedule, but I'm having difficulty finding time to exercise. Not with all this homework and studying that needs to be done. Not sure when I will be able to post again this week, but I'll try to get around to it sometime in between homework assignments. lol.
