Little Birdie

I have always had a love of birds, especially little baby birds that can not yet take care of themselves. Its seems every spring, a new little baby bird finds their way to me. This year is no different. My moms boss found a bird on the base, so she brought her home to me. I broke out my little bird cage, liquid bird food, and I made a little nest for her to sleep in. She is doing well and eating alot. I have named her Bethi, after my moms bosses daughter. She is just the cutest little thing, she is already learning how to balance on my finger. And at night she nestles into her little nest, SO CUTE!!!


*UPDATE* I have since discovered that Bethi is actually a boy. Oops!!! He now goes by the name Apollo.

Today

Well to day was a very busy day at work. I, and about 8 other girls had to be at the store at 6 in the morning. Meaning Brenda had to wake up at 4:30a.m. I spent the whole day sizing and resizing bras and panties in Casique. Our new manager starts tomorrow, so the store needed to look perfect. We didn't finish until about 2:30, and the store was packed when we left. I am super tired, yet I can't see to fall asleep. Oh, and I am getting my tattoo on Saturday, Kierra's birthday.

Let's See...

What has been going on in the life of Brenda? I have been in my new management position now for one month. There have been some ups and downs. Stress is a bitch!!! The Store Manager quit and we will have a new one on Monday. Which I couldn't be happier about, the store was slowly dying, and now we will be revived!!! I know alot of the girls that work there now will be leaving soon after the new manager starts, they are so use to working(or not working, I should say) with someone who really didn't care about the store and what happened to it. So its a new beginning and I am very excited and looking forward to some hard work.
I have been so busy working a full time schedule that I haven't had much time to see the people that are most important in my life. I was able to go out twice last week though. I more stuff to tell you about, but I have to be at work at 6 in the morning, yay!

BIG NEWS!!!

After 2 months with Lane Bryant, I have been promoted to Full Time Key Holder at the Lane Bryant at the Avenues Mall. I am very excited about this oppertunity and ready for Monday to begin!!!

I've Been Tagged

By Brianne. Which means I am suppose to list six weird facts about myself, so here goes.
1. I like to decorate in sets of three.
2. I will not mix my foods together.
3. I love when Eddie Murphy sings. LOVE IT!!!
4. My cat likes to curl up into a ball and suck her tail, like a baby sucking its thumb.
5. I am the only daughter and granddaughter on both sides of my family.
6. I was born in the 10th month on the 21st, 10 days after my mothers 21st birthday.

Work=Love

Well for me at least. I love, love, love my job!!! How many people can honestly say that? I love fashion, I love working with people, and I love telling people what to wear, lol. The past few weeks I have been working at the Casique part of the store, learning how to do bra fits and learning about 20 different styles of bras and panties and Spanx. Last weekend we had a bra fit event. We had a little compitition going on between the workers to see who could get the most bra fits and sell the most bras during the three days of the event. I am happy to say I kicked ass, blew all the other girls out of the water. I had two full lines of stickers, the closest to me had three quarters of one line. Sorry, I am finished gloating now. My bosses say that I am doing very well and are already talking about promoting me to a part-time manager!!! Well I am off today and Friday, so I am going to go do some chores now so I won't have any to do Friday.

Old St. Augustine

Mom, Jennifer and I went down to St Augustine this past Friday. Jennifer had never been so we thought should enjoy coming along with us. Well it was field trip day down there. We felt like we were at an amusement park. There were some fun times and some disappointing times. In all we had a pretty good time, but learned our lesson. Next time, go on a Tuesday!!! And no one down there serves shrimp cocktail. Oh and Kilmans has the BEST caramel!!!

Another one of my problems was I just couldn't really get into the day. All up and down St. George Street I thought about Kierra. As some of you know, the first time I had ever met and hung out with Kierra was when we all went down to St. Augustine over Thanksgiving weekend about 5 years ago. We had just a good time down there. Its hard to go to favorite places like that and not have her there to enjoy it with.
