Recap: Last 2 Weeks

So I haven't been updating this as usual as I usually do. There's a reason; since the 14th up until Christmas Eve, I was working everyday - yes, literally everyday - for at least 8 hours, if not more. Psychotic? Yes, just a little. I kinda overdid myself a little last week but thank God it was ending. So, now that the chaos has subsided and I can, once again, sit down at the computer and properly type something up, here's a recap of the highlights of the last 2 weeks...not that all of them are good highlights...

~Me only getting 6 hours sleep in 2 days because I had to meet a deadline for a final essay. Yeah, that was fun. Day 1, I worked till midnight, got home and right away continued working, got a 15 minute nap sometime around 4, continued working until I had to get ready for work at 6:30, went home at 10:30 and continued working for 2 hours, got it done and turned in and went back to work (another job) at 1 till 10. Needless to say, I was running on adrenaline and caffeine all day until I started to crash around 4pm and took a break and a nap. That was mad.

~Opening at Vickie's, starting at 6:30 (mall opened at 8am) and closing at Crabtree (mall closed at 11pm). 3 days in a row. That was mad, too.

~Going to Southcenter Mall with Ryan and Junior, then going over to Jr's to watch Mean Girls. That was a funny movie. I also showed them (the edge) of my panties (I was wearing a pair of my new ones) - the black lace and fishnet ones - and they deemed it skankalicious and "we loves it!!" I got my gay (kinda) friends' approvals! Hahaha.

~Working my first 8 hour shift at Vickie's since I left and nearly walking out (read: quitting on the spot). I was about to pull an Emily (She did that at our first workplace. Ah, the memories.) I can't stand the job and I had to escape to Crabtree on my lunchbreak. How funny. Honestly, though, I can't stand working there anymore. The people are great - well, most of them are - but the job itself is nothing to cheer for: it's tedious and repetitive, and plus, I'm only a regular sales associate there so I don't get more responsibilities other than sell, sell, sell. I want more things to do!

~Em came home on the 21st. Yay!

~Dad came home on the 23rd. Yay!

~Spent some of Christmas Eve with Em and Dem at Em's parents' house. We exchanged gifts, hung out, met Molly - Em's oh-so-round kitty!! - and exclaimed over Scruffy's skeletonial state - she's Em's other cat who's going to outlive us all. Dem had been reading my blog and noting what I wanted and had gotten some of it for me! She commented on my lack of blogging and said, "When I saw that you hadn't blogged for, like, 8 days, I got a little worried!" Aww! Just goes to show how busy I was! We then went to Muckleshoot Casino nearby to eat dinner and do a bit of gambling. I gambled $1 - haha - and Dem bet $5 and Em $20. It was uneventful and Vegas is so much better. Oh, and it was 'Asian Invasion' night at Muckleshoot, too, and oh what a joy that was. We didn't stay long. I bought an ice cream cone on our way out and it was HUGE. Holy cow. The one scoop of ice cream was like 3 regular scoops put together! I couldn't finish it all; it started making me a little sick.

~My family opened presents on Christmas Eve because dad wanted to leave early enough on Christmas Day to catch the noon basketball game. Ugh. That, of course, meant no sleeping in for me. Damnit. But presents were good!
