I have worked retail or even just sales my whole working career. Well before my current job that is. And it always amazes me how people treat sales people. I have gotten "you-who's" across the store, Finger snaps, or rude excuuuuuuse me's" and sometimes you get the nice customers who love talking to you and are so friendly and it's so nice.
Theeeeen you get the people Who want to tell you everything about their lives. Or the crazy ex girl friends that they may have had.
I work with my roommate from time to time to help her out when the store needs coverage. And today when I was working we had a guy come in and talk to us for one hour about crazy dates that he had been on with crazy girls. We were slow but even when the customers would come in he would stop his story and wait till we were both back to resume.
It was really annoying. So if you are shopping please be kind and respectful and nice to the workers.

Tuesday's review
Soo, because I am doing a post a day for a year, I figure one day a week I can do a "cop out" and review a product, app or game that I use. Today goes with writing, listening, podcasts and an iPhone app. Stitcher radio is a great app for anyone who likes listening to podcasts or even live radio.
As you can see from the pictures it has so many options to choose from on a wide variety of shows and topics. It is also very easy to use. The shows are divided by not only content (finance, writing, politics) but also by you put shows you want to constantly be updated on and you can see lots of different topics.
It's a really great app. Anyone with an IPhone or iPad should get it and use it. I love stitcher :)

My bucket list
Flash mob!!! I finally got to see one!! So amazing! I was super happy that I had the opportunity to do this. Kevin's little brother is in a band, dead off center (they are super good) everyone should check them out.
They did such a good job with this flash mob and everyone had a great time. The people in the restaurant are super surprised and it was such a fun song for them to do!
This has always been something that I wanted to see, there is only one more flash mob related item on my Bucket list. And that is to actually be in one. But it always feels good to do something on the list and to experience new things!
I have video but have to upload it to youtube before I can show people via this blog. This was a really fun day for me and I got to spend more time with Kevins family which was really great too :)

A day in HB
I know that it's technically past midnight, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's all good. I got to spend the evening with Kevin's mom. I was really nervous because I had never had any one on one time with her before. But as the night progressed I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about.
It was a really fun time we went to dinner and looked at Kevin's baby pictures, (Kevin was almost as cute a kid as me ;) ). Then we watched Hugo. Which was good, but I didn't understand how the robot tied into it. Like I understood that he drew things and that's all that was left of his legacy buuuuut, why was the robot created?? Ha oh well it was fun :)
So overall it was a really fun day to spend down here and really get to know more about Kevin's mom and family.

We didn't start the fire
So scary day at our house last night. If you never saw Lesley's post, our house caught on fire. Literally flames in the wall. It's really crazy. Luckily the mechanic was here to fix another problem, but it was still pretty scary.
The good thing is our house is fine we are all safe and our possessions are good too. But it's a scary thing to have something like this happen. Something that is so intrusive in your life. You are supposed to feel safe at home and not that I don't feel that way now but still it's frightening.
It's all good though :) life moves on and I have an exciting weekend ahead of me. I get to go watch a flash mob on Sunday. I can't tell you where though. I will be filming and taking pictures though! It will be my Sunday blog :)

Awkward hyper monkey child
I'm pretty sure when I moved in with les and rob, rob was not thrilled. Despite my hilarious jokes, rad personality, and awesome dance moves, I don't think rob was quite sold at this roomie situation. He was a great sport about it when I moved in. Helping me move, giving me an old tv, and, of course throwing the occasional nerd joke my way.
I think after my initial charm wore off, he was a tad bit annoyed at me. But lately I have noticed the blooming of a beautiful friendship. Haha. No but in all seriousness he and I will go running when les is working late and can't come. It's been really fun to get to know him better. Even though I'm sure he thinks of me as his and Lesley's little sister or as I like to joke the child that they never wanted.
One thing that's great about living with a married couple is that there is a man in the house and rob is a handy man at that. It is comforting to know that if anything besides spiders or coyotes were attacking the house he would be all over it.
Living with rob and les has been amazing, as I have said and even though they have done a lot for me, I have brought a lot to the table too. Modern Family. You're welcome! Xbox. Boom! .........that's actually all I can think of besides my jokes. But I hope to one day share the magical experiences of settlers of Catan. One day Rob. One day.

My Carnival Day!
I am so excited! I have been working on a Carnival day for about a month now. I am so excited about it. I have been pinning, imagining, thinking and planning this event. I want it to be amazing! I would love to use this in my portfolio (duh) and would love to really go all out.
I have lots of inspiration from Pinterest. I honestly am not sure how people created events with out them. Aside from my events, I have planned my future house (all 4 of them for all my styles and living room ideas). I have planned my wedding (obviously). Hundreds of clothing options. But for anyone who Pins, its old news. Everyone does that. My absolute favorite part of Pinterest is the inspiration that comes from it. This is something that I can procrastinate on, but it is actually helpful in my own work!I love seeing the ideas that the Pros do and the do-it-yourselfer can come up with. I love getting ideas and inspiration from this and really making it my own and fine tuning it to be mine.
I can just tell that beginning planners everywhere are rejoicing at this new site. Not only is it great advertising for them. They can show off the amazing things that they are doing, but they can also become inspired for up and coming jobs. It is a great collaboration of creative ideas and it really gives planners a way to get a better feel for their clients vision of the event. It is really a great tool. I am truly excited as a new planner to have this in my arsenal for my future career.
