Camo

I've been noticing a ton of camo in stores and on people as we gear up for fall fashion. I've seen it on every type of clothing from blazers to shoes to pants to even frickin underwear. Camo isn't something you'd typically catch me in. I don't think i've worn anything Camo in like 8, almost 9 years. I was 9 the last time I wore camo and it was blue camo zip off pants. You know, the one's that the legs zip off to make them shorts. I'm not really loving the Camo trend for fall. I think that designers should leave camo to the military and not use it as a fall fashion statement.

One Last Thing...

I saw this in People Magazine and said why not copy this for my blog...

Last present I gave...
The last present I gave was a check for $50 for my friends birthday. However, I have 2 surprises for 2 other friends sitting in my room that I'm waiting to give to them.

Last vice I indulged in...
ummm.... Is shopping a vice? Well if so... I recently bought a pair of Levi's Black Super Skinny Jeans.

I last forgot my wallet....
in my hotel room when I went to Puerto Rico about 6 weeks ago. I was on my way out to the beach and forgot my wallet with my room key, my money and my ID. Luckily, my friend still had her room key in her beach bag.

Last sunburn I got....
After I got back from Puerto Rico and I went tanning with my friend. The next day, my skin was really red, tender to the touch and began to peel and flake.

These last few days...

I've been pretty busy these last few days. I started work on Thursday. I've been attempting to see all of my friends and I've also been trying to enjoy the last few days of summer.

So lets start with work! I've put in 19 hours at my new job. Oh if I haven't mentioned it already, I just started working at Cold Stone Creamery! I absolutely hate it! My boss sits at home and watches us from her living room via the security system. She keeps complaining about me to my supervisor but won't actually come in and help out or train me herself but she can call in and complain. I really want to quit but I'm not a quitter and I can't give up this early in the ball game. I said I was up for the challenge and I'm going to have to stick with it.

I've also spent a lot of time seeing my friends before they all leave for college. I've also spent a lot of time with one friend's family in particular. I went to her brother's hockey practice with their mom, played a prank on my friend with her brother, went to breakfast and lunch and boating with her dad and brother. I don't even think of them as friends anymore but more like family.

I'm working really hard on setting up my business. But I've also been trying to enjoy each and every last day of summer before reality hits and its time to go back to school. Well, it's really starting school. I've been trying to get my last minute school-switching details settled so I can start school next week and take time off when I have my surgery.
