Needed: A job, friends & furniture.
It’s been so long since I last wrote. Going home for Christmas was absolutely amazing, a much needed trip to Massachusetts and visit with family & friends. Now, I’m back in LA attempting to survive on an Aldo paycheck and a lack of furniture. I’ve been applying for jobs and it’s definitely a work in progress. Meanwhile, I’ve been clocking in a decent amount of...

The Weekend of Endless Eating.
This weekend basically started on Wednesday. I didn’t have Lifetime or Aldo so, I slept in, watched Young and the Restless, and had breakfast. Amy Rogers had to pick up some last minute things at the grocery store so I decided to go with her. While we were out we saw that some apartment complexes were having open houses so we decided to stop and look at a few. A couple hours later, we...

November 20-22.
This weekend has been pretty uneventful. I started at Aldo Accessories on Thursday morning and honestly hated every second of it. Accessories are so small and obnoxious. But, I did have my first experience at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Their vanilla latte is absolutely delicious and definitely beats Starbucks. After work, I went back to the Oakwoods to watch television and get ready for...
November 13-15.
On Friday morning, I had another interview at Aldo Accessories but this time it was with the district manager. I met with her and we talked about the intensity that is Aldo. It turns out that my manager on Newbury Street, Stephane, was her first ever visual presentation head office visit. Needless to say, I was hired and am now a part time key holder at the Beverly Center Aldo Accessories. ...

My weekend living in 90210.
Last weekend was my true, I-live-in-LA weekend. On Friday, Amy and I went shopping in Burbank. I bought this adorable blue one-shoulder top and purple jersey dress. It was so amazing to go shopping again, it’s been way too long. Then, Amy and I made dinner and went over to Brock’s for a party. On Saturday, Amy, Brock, and I went shopping again at Beverly Center. I needed an...

A weekend highlighted by meals.
I spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of last week at Lifetime. Things are going really well there and everyone is wicked nice and helpful. Then on Thursday, I slept in and did homework all day then went to class at night. My 3.5 hour class went by as fast as can be expected. We talked about westerns and watched Gunsmoke and Deadwood. The whole time all I could talk about was how badly I...
Playing Catch-Up
It’s been a while since I last wrote. Things have been going really well. Last Friday, Emerson hosted an event at Jillian’s. It was really fun; we bowled, ate, and just hung out. Then Bill and I decided to walk down the Universal City Walk which has everything and is absolutely adorable. I am dying to find time to go to the theme park. Later that night, a bunch of us hung out by...
Saying Goodbye to Boston.
On Tuesday, September 8th my mom and I left Framingham at 4:40am. She dropped me off at the airport at 5am and we said our sad goodbyes. I checked by bag, and headed through security for my flight to Los Angeles. Putting my suitcase into the overhead compartment was an adventure in itself and luckily, I succeeded as a damsel in distress and someone helped me. The plane took off at 7:30am and,...
