Day 158!

The last day...

Today was the last day of my store being open. It was quite busy during the morning, then around 1:30, with three rounders of clothing all marked at $1 which is insane when our average priced shirt is about $54, a woman came in and bought all three rounders of clothing, approximately 200 pieces. So insane!





















Also insane...I was a rebel. I wore my zombie shoes to work. Ooh man.




















"Ain't it a shame we're so young and insane?"

Day 157!

Alien Ant Farm!!!!!

 My favorite band for last 11 years did a free show in AC, and it was amazing!

I post a lot about shows that I see and awesome bands, but seriously there is no other band that I love more than AAF.

I tried soo hard to get decent photos at this show and it was nearly impossible.

 This seriously was one of the best shows I've been to in such a long time. The crowd was pretty chill, the sound was awesome and it was Alien Ant Farm, need I say more?

"For that I'll dance. And sing this song"

Day 156!

I went to The Museum Of Natural History to check out their butterfly exhibit. Quite expensive, hot, and crowded like you wouldn't believe with kids trying to touch the butterflies as they got yelled at, it was well worth it just to have a butterfly land on my head.

I didn't get the greatest photos because there were so many people and my lens kept fogging up from the humidity, but I got a few.

I love this shot!

They're so beautiful.

"And with a subtle wink and a flutter of wings..."

Day 155!

Farewell cupcakes :(

Everyone at work is bringing in food as our days of working together become less and less. We're basically eating our sorrows away. Hey whatever works. I made carrot cake cupcakes (or is it just carrot cupcakes?) with cream cheese frosting. They were melting terribly by the time I got them to work, but still pretty delicious.

"It takes my pain away. Never mind these are hurried times. Oh oh oh. I can't let it bother me."

The little bit of random...

This is going to be a long one..

My weekend has been insane! Friday through Sunday has been so busy! Let's begin with Friday...after work Dan and I drove to PA to see a show, which as said before was amazing! After the show trying to drive home we got lost, don't we always? The thing is we wanted to get home asap because one of our favorite bands was competing in the Billboard battle of the bands and it was live streaming online. Getting home from PA before they performed was not happening, so with Dan's phone dying we plugged it into my computer and live streamed it from his phone. Back and forth it would freeze and cut off and we were freaking out. We literally just pulled up to my house and was able to see Patent Pending win! It was sooooooo awesome. It was about 2 am by the time we got to bed, which sucked only because we had a clean up at the park in the morning. Saturday now....we went to the clean up, which had a horrible turn out, but since the park was actually pretty clean, it wasn't so bad. Once that was done we went home to get ready for my friend's birthday. Which was at Park East, ughhh. If you don't know Park East, it's basically a guido bar, and I'm not really into bars, let alone guido bars. Luckily we stayed on the restaurant side and it was pretty cool just hanging out. After that, all fancied up, I must add we were terribly over dressed, we went for Cold Stone. So good! Here we go Sunday now... I went to work which was boring and frustrating at the same time. We have about 8 racks left of clothes so there's nothing to clean or really do, except get verbally abused by customers who don't understand why we don't have their size left in a top. Err. After work Dan and I had Patent Pending Billboard Music Award party! By Patent Pending winning the contest they won a chance to play a song live on the Billboard Awards, 12,000 there watching and 12 million at home. How ridiculously amazing is that?! So excited for them, Dan and I wore our Patent Pending shirts and ordered a pizza (of course lol) to watch it. They were the best performance of the night, hands down. Everyone should go vote for them on http://www.billboard.com/bbma/sundrop they deserve it.

How cool do we  look?  We were told we were lame, and yeah we are, but we're cool with it lol.


"If we dream, we can do. Take the streets, me and you."

Day 154!

On our way to see Eve 6 and The Audition (which were amazing) in Pennsylvania, Dan and I stopped at a rest stop and saw this sign.

Going to be honest there are very very few things about Pennsylvania that makes me smile.  I mean other than Blake, Crocodile Rock, and The Starting Line being from there, I'm not too fond of anything about that place.


"This place is a prison."

Day 153!

It's nearing! Approximately 11 days left and my store will be closed! But it's really not a bad thing, let me explain...

When working at Ragshop, the last few days the store was opened, a lady threw a pen at me because she didn't like the sale prices I was telling her. As if I can help 60% off of $12 fabric being $4.80. I was 18 at the time and cried about it in the bathroom.

Now, just the other day a man came into my store and yelled at me about our return policy. Yelling to the point where he was spitting on my counter and I considered calling the police. Scary as it was I kept calm and didn't cry.

Growing up with each store closing!




"Well I guess this is growing up."
