Closer ...

Spring break is coming to an end, and it feels as if it wasn't much of a break at all. I went to Sea World, yeah, that was very fun. And I have Saturday & today off which is excellent! But working everyday was pretty tiring. It was fun though! I enjoyed everyday at work. I'm just glad that I get to relax a little bit.

Robert invited me to an Easter brunch at his sister's house. I would like to go, right now I'm so tired though. Hopefully I'll get my butt up soon and take a shower. I'm gonna start working on a doodle soon too maybe. I have a litttleeee bit of homework to get done before tomorrow! I'd rather just watch people bake cakes.

Flat Tire ...

I wouldn't know how to change one, but I know now how to fill one up ... I just hope it stays well enough for my trip to work and back tomorrow!
Work! I had a 7 hour shift the other day and it was exciting. I don't know why, but I worked with Logan, and it was pretty busy so I manned the front while he helped around but mostly glazed and changed lots of music. I'm glad we have a cd player in there now instead of an annoying radio that plays the sameee songs all the time. I don't mind as much as the other girls cause they've been here longer, but after 3 times hearing a song, I get a little, what's the worddd ... "over it." So now we can bring in our own music, but I have no personal preference, I love everything! When Andi came in, I helped around throughout while she took care of customers. Then for a good amount of time we got to talk about ourselves, which was very nice, we definitely, hm, connected? which is a really good thing, I think. I'm really loving working there, I just wanted to rave about that. Oh and this one girl, probably high school or college aged I have no clue, was painting the most BEAUTIFUL plates ever, I absolutely adoooored them. :)

So today, Robert and I took the bus(es) to Sea World, it was veryyyy interesting to say the least, the bus ride there I mean. This crazy African American wanna-be-hoodlum tried scaring Robert & I into giving him money, but we knew the dude was a jokeeeee. Regardless, I still wanted to get the hell out of downtown, quickly!! So we got there, had a blast, got to see all the shows [besides the night ones, we got too tired by the middle of the day] ... and then came back home. My wonderfulllll dad picked us up at UTC and had a little bit of a hissy fit while he was at it ... :( Ha. But I'm very thankful for him cause ... buses freak me out!

All in all, the experience was good, and we got to use our Silver Passports! & I spent the wholleeeee day with Robert, which is rare during this break because we both work so much this week. His days off were Tuesday & Thursday, mine are Thursday and Saturday. Well, I'm very sore. It's looking like that scrapbook goal is going to go down to 5 or something lower unless a miracle happens on Saturday!

Welcome!

So I just started up this blog, got it all pretty, and now I'm ... blogging. :) I know this sounds silly for some people, but it's a great way to keep people updated since everybody seems to be too busy to talk.

A quick update on the life of Phoenix:

• I work at Color Me Mine as a "Team Member" and I absolutely love it there for the most part. My boss is wacky yet cool, my coworkers are super laid back, and all the customers are *usually darling to work with! Working with kids and artistic adults is a great experience and I hope to stay there long enough to become an assistant manager.
• A Sonic Drive-In is opening in Santee on Monday (woohoo!!), my dad says we're going to go, I'm more than excited to finally taste the delicious bites they show on commercials all the time! The only thing is ... it'll be busy.
  
• I recently bought a Sea World Silver Passport [annual pass] that I plan to use a lot this summer.
• It's Spring Break for me!

So Thursday night, or should I say morning? I woke up to a stomach pain that felt familiar. After a few trips to the bathroom, that pain quickly went away, and I fell asleep soundly, only to start shivering uncontrollably when it was not even very cold. The shivering would not stop and my body weakened at every movement, so I called my dad on his cellphone at around 3 in the morning to ask for a blanket. Both my parents woke up rushed to my room and acted like I was a sick 7 year old about to die. All I wanted was a blanket. For another 30 minutes after receiving another blanket, I could not stop shivering. My parents took my temperature and stayed awake until I fell asleep. I have amazing parents! I'm 17 and still need their help. I'm definitely thankful for them, because I would not have been able to fall asleep at all without that extra blanket.
So Thursday night's morning wake ups made me sleep until 11 AM Friday morning. I didn't go to school because I wasn't feeling well enough to take tests and speak in front of people, let alone drive. So I slept pretty much the whole day, with a lunch in between, and ended my day watching TV with my mom and dad while eating some spicy ribs of my mom's own recipe.

Just a note, I want to take a picture a day. I'm hoping I'll stay motivated enough. I'll start Monday, the real beginning of my spring break.


My dad asked me to take a picture for my Aunt Chan for Facebook, we tried getting a good one out of my dad and mom, but my dad always looked high, or my mom never looked, I thought this one expressed both personalities of my mom & dad the best.
