Marketing Internship

About two weeks ago, I applied for a summer Marketing Internship for big name magazine (in my small town. . . irony. . . not lost here). Anyway, I thought that since I had not heard anything that of course I did not get it.

So then Thursday afternoon, I get a call from the magazine. They conducted a little interview over the phone asking me about my degree, and if I like to travel. . . and so on. The person said they would let me know by the end of the day Friday. Nothing that I hadn't heard before, but I was still hopeful.

Not thirty minutes later I get a phone call from the same person offering me the internship. :) I start Monday and honestly I cannot wait. I couldn't wait soo much I rushed out and splurged on a new dress from Cali's (a local store that I love love love). I actually bought two. . . but I think I am going to return one because it is just a little too big on me.

Also Tom took me out to Dairy Lodge a got a Dole Whip Twist with chocolate and cocoa crispies on it. YUMMY!!!!

Dole Whip IS AWESOME!!!!!! I had only thought that Wares Bros carried it with the frozen yogurt dole whip twist (awesome) But Dairy Lodge is fast becoming a fav because of having both Frozen Yogurt and Dole Whip. My stomach cannot produce Milk. However, I

can still have yogurt and cheese (strange. . . that I am). So when it comes to tasty treats, frozen yogurt or dole whip is about the only thing I can have without moaning on the couch for hours and taking about ten Tums.

So on Etsy.com which I love to browse, there is a shop called HyrdaHeart and I love love love her ability to make the cutest shoes. I soooo want to learn how to make something like that. I love being able to figure these things out for myself. Not that I wouldn't buy them from her, I just would love to figure it out. I have never really sewn in my life but there is never a better time then now eh?

Black Devil!

So yesterday, I noticed a GIANT hole in my yellow bird feeder. Yeah. . . I came back into the dinning room and found a squirrel sitting inside my bird feeder. Now I was not able to get a picture of the devil actually sitting in the feeder, but I did get this!!!!

WTF. . . is all I have to say. I bought a squirrel feeder last week. It's called the Squngee squirrel bungee. I suppose not putting corn cobs on it fast enough for their liking turns into this.

Normally we grease the pole that they climb on. . . guess it wasn't greased enough. *sighs*

So I went outside and slathered on a HUGE coat of Vaseline. Should keep them at bay. . . for now. However, I have a HUGE hole in my feeder so it looks like I'll have to get another one. . . ugh.

The battle continues. . .

BEEP update

YEAH all is well since the BEEP is gone. . . I wont have to set fire to the building now. . . WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hamlet gets a treat

I made Tuna Pasta this weekend because it's cold and tasted good on the hot weekend we had. So Hamlet headed into the kitchen, and well gave me the cute kitty eyes and I gave in. I let him lick the empty tuna can.

He loved it. Haha. I don't normally give my cats people food because I don't like the additives in them. . .plus Hamlet is a little on the chubby side LOL. But I caved! Plus cats love tuna! And it was not the kind soaked in oil, it was in water. If it was in oil I would not have given it him.

Garage Sales, Power-washing, brakes. . . oh my!!

Sorry fellow bloggers, as you may know this past weekend was Memorial Weekend which meant GARAGE SALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom (my lovely fiances) took Friday off in-order to hit the garage sales early before they got picked over. So as I sped off to work he met up with his Mum to go rummaging.

WOW, I came home to a wonderful surprise. We have a bed frame now! Now I know that sounds strange, but when we got a bed from my friend almost two years ago it didn't come with a head-board and a foot-board. Which was something I have been wanting for quiet some time now. It is very nice looking, I will take a picture of it to post!

He also got. . . a new printer-scanner-copier, a dell computer (which does not work) but it was $1!!! so he HAD to get it. (He will take it apart and tinker with it)
A weed-whipper!! WEEE (We needed one as well)
A shovel
Work light
grass spreader
Tools
Then I wanted to go on Saturday. . . SOOOOO
Tom bought
More tools,
two large work lights
a crow-bar
wires
a keyboard
a wireless router
digital converter box (we didn't need this. . . since we already have one but oh well)
Three stines
I am sure there is more. . . but I can't remember. . .

OH! what did I buy. . . hahaha
Two Kurt Vonnegut books. :) for .70cents. yes. . . that was it.

So from there, our neighbors were power-washing their house and Tom was talking to Mike about where he might be able to rent one. Mike said we could borrow it (Mike is a maintenance guy for our old apartment complex. Ironic.) So. . Sunday (which felt like Saturday since Monday was a vacation day) Tom power-washed our house. This wash probably used more water in one day then we use in a month cause it was using 2300 PSI of pressure! Tom was wet and sweety all at one time. It didn't help that it was like 90 degrees!! and humid. Ahhh Michigan you either get a freezing cold Memorial day, or a BLOODY HOT day. However I have had a chance to wear all of my super cute dresses! In the past I have worn jeans and t-shirts in the summer. (Crazy, I know) But last summer I started to actually wear shorts! And this year hell. . . I've started to wear dresses and more skirts. Suppose I am feeling more girly. . . who knows.

Anyways, Monday. . . aka Sunday part 2!
Started off slow, which was nice. My friend Erin lent me her Lego Indiana Jones video game so that is what I have been playing on the Wii. Tom finished the brakes on my car! He is very proud of himself and I am proud of him as well. Saved myself like 400 bucks!!! It cost me two t-shirts, making yummy granola, and letting him play Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii last night. Not bad! The parts only cost like $70 so yeah I think I saved a lot of money!

So. . . even though we pay tons in city taxes, the city wont bother to SPRAY FOR TENT CATERPILLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These HORRIBLE beings are terrible and disgusting. ( I am getting sick just thinking about them). HORRIBLE I have to say it again. . . HORRIBLE!! We have five large oak trees on our property, and all have these terrible beasts crawling on them. We have been spraying them, but they are just so many that it is hard to keep up with. The power-washer LOL sent them flying. We have been using Seven which is a toxic spray to just bugs, but still I honestly don't like using it. Mike our trusting knowledgeable neighbor, recommended a few products that are natural and wont harm other animals. So we are going to try that. Spray every few days. However, in a couple of weeks they will DIE because their life-span will have ended! HAHAHA. GRRRRR. . .


So. . . back at work today. *sighs* The alarm system is broken so every like three seconds I hear this horrible BEEP if they don't fix it soon. . . I will go postal!
