you are volatile to my existence

did i ever tell you about the time chad gave me a potato for my brithday?

no? thats too bad...it was a funny story...

so i have completed two days of work thus far and am beyond tired...its hard going from being a lazy wop to a working woman...i have to get use to all this running around...

its so nice tho to be working in a place that you love in an industry that you love...i guess i cant really say i love work already...since it has only been two days and i dont want to be too hasty...but i am really enjoying it...even the small tasks that may seem boring are so exciting right now...

ive worked for a very long time in an office where i never felt like i belonged...i never had my own desk or space or anything and i couldn't have cared less about the work...so it feels amazing to have a desk and a computer and a window that is all mine...not to mention all the fashiony stuff that goes with it!

what amuses me most so far about work is how every morning each member of the design department checks me out...to see what im wearing...how stylish and creative i am...i guess it makes sense since i am working in fashion...but its just weird being put on display like that...im not use to it...

anyways i gotta figure out how to balance work and blogging and demanding italians with out loosing my head or wanting to kill someone...

this week should play out interestingly...ironing, shopping, numerous birthday parties, family events, hoopla...

yea...i can TOTALLY handle a stick

ok...so here is the story about my car...its a sad one...and very emotional for me...le sigh

so i bought the jetta off my uncle about 3 years ago cause i needed a bigger car to lug around all my crap for school...so i bought the jetta...it was so pretty and maybe me feel classy even tho i was a bum...

the only problem with the jetta was that it had been in a super bad accident...an accident that should have sent it to its grave...but instead of sending it to heaven the insurance company decided to pay for it to get fixed...big mistake...this fixing of the jetta was done wrong and ended up causing me tons of money in repairs over the 3 years...

my dad being a mechanic informed me that since i would be getting a full time job this summer i should prob. look at buying a new car cause the jetta was not going to last me much long...this was not fun to think about...i guess i should have taken it down all lose logging roads in the summer...ha...my bad

so we fast forward to last week...i went to pick pat up one night and noticed that my signals stopped working...then the next day my brother took it out and said it smelled like burnt plastic...GREAT...so father looks at the car and noticed that there was an electrical fire...SUPER...needless to say the car was about to explode and i was banned from driving it...

but i needed a car...to pick chad up at the airport...to go to work with...to do things i needed to do...so we randomly went out on holiday monday just to look at different cars...and then all of a sudden...i bought one...

i had my heart set on a VW because i dont know they seem so classy to me and they are so pretty and i really really really wanted a jetta or a beetle or something...but it had to be VW...needless to say i had no money in which to spend on such a car...
so i bought a kia rio...it was so random...one minute i was looking...the next minute i was test driving...and then boom...i bought it...so random...but it fit by budget and dad seem pretty excited by what it offered at the price it was...being that it was brand new and i had never owned a brand new car...just cars that cost a lot to fix all the time...

its not my dream car...but its cute...and its black...and its a stick which excites me...and it does the job and it was a good price and i know its not the range rover that matt wanted me to buy nor the audi that pat wanted me to buy...but its a car...and it does its job...

and yes...i did cry like a baby when i realized that the jetta was going bye bye...it was my baby...my attempt at being classy...the car that had been with my through the best and worst years of my life...but it was falling apart and was not safe to drive at all...at least i got $750 bucks for it...ha

so there you have it...the story of the old and new car...i guess there wasnt that much emotion in it but for me i just hate thinking about it...so i got the rio until i start popin out babies and then i'll need the escalade! haha

so good bye jetta
ti amo

i bought a korean car from a korean salesman but not in korea

i have a very depressing and emotional story about my beloved jetta
and how i had to get rid of it
and how i randomly bought a new car yesterday
and it was all very sad
but i dont have time to tell the story right now

cause i have to pick someone up at the airport
hopefully he wont get caught at customs for trying to import illegal korean booze
i wonder how much duty free scotch hes going to bring back

i should go to bosa and buy some salami for lunch
and i should try and remember how to drive standard before i leave
but i have to straighten my hair first
and finish eating this cold pizza for breakfast
8 days was too long...but maybe im just being a pansy
