"SLOW MOTION FOR ME"
this is weird. juvenile came into anthropologie last week, bling and all. among all of the over-indulged housewives lurked a platinum gangsta.
since i already mentioned work, i want to bring a few things to the surface. a woman, one of our regular customers came in this weekend, and spent $4,700. can we all just sit there and soak that in for a minute. $4,700 on clothes. this is not unusual for her, it happens about every month. i cannot even comprehend the thought of spending that much money. it is almost equivalent to my rent for a year. seriously, it makes me sick to think about how that much money could be used for something greater. basically, i am overwhelmed by the atmosphere that i work in. "numbers" and "sales" consume my thoughts, so much so that i dream about it. also, i find myself believing stereotypes about other races and religions based on the encounters i have with select members of them. gross. i think God is making me so unsettled that i will be forced to find something new.
here lies the next dilemma, what is going to be the "something new"? i am just not ready to be an adult. the only desires i have right now are moving to costa rica or another exotic location and withdraw myself from american culture. ok, let's be honest, that's a little extreme. enough of negative nancy.
poll:
do you guys have resolutions? i don't and never have, but maybe, just maybe i might start. its a few days behind, but who is to say its too late to begin.

POLL ANSWER: I only do resolutions if there is some goal that I really want to meet that year, but this year I didn't make one...hmmm...what does that say about the goals in my life....YIKES!
so i secretely have a list of new year revolution type things....shhh..but i think its good motivation! yeah thats it. and how about picking santa rosa as an exotic new location. that's new!!!
well, no revolutions for me, or I just haven't typed them up yet, but they are coming or I just might copy Bethany Newman's since I wish I was that motivated. hoping for a weekend rendevous
did juvenile buy anything?? i hate new years resolutions but this year i made it my revolve, i mean resolve to eat TONS OF CHOCOLATE AND NOT CARE!!!!!!!!
this is the first year i've made resolutions, if i can even call them that. truth be told, i resolved to do all the things i want to do anyway, so that when i do them, i can be like, "well, i mean.... i HAVE to do it because it was one of my new years resolutions." i don't think they're supposed to work like that, but oh well.
and p.s.- remember Marta, my friend (and future roommate)? she wants to move to costa rica too! you 2 should go together! you're both pretty rad gals.
ive decided each day needs its own resolution, not the whole year at one time. we only get one day at a time anyways. too overwhelming to think about 365 days of resolve.
