Merry Christmas

Glad that it's finally done and over with? I sure as heck am! I mean don't get me wrong, christmas is a lovely time of year and all and supposed to be filled with cheery feeling...but it can be difficult with my family.
I'm going to be honest, I'm glad that it's finally all over with. I love Christmas and all...but I loved it alot more when I was a small child.
There was just something about it that was so much more...when I was so much smaller. The lights shined brighter, the tree was bigger, I could relate more to my cousins, my house seemed more cheerier.
You know...now that I think about it, alot of it might have to do with my abuelo(grandfather for my non-spanishing speaking readers). He brought so much joy to Christmas for me. And when he passed away things were never the same I guess.
The first Christmas without him was the first time we didn't get a real tree, just one of those small plastic ones. The family didn't come over, we went to my uncule's house. It was a solemn time of year. And I don't think anyone recovered from that slump. It's actually quite sad. I think ever since he's passed away I just can't get into the whole cheer. I really can relate to that song "Where Are You Christmas".
But anyways...like I said it's all done and over with. I can breathe easy although I still have some presents to deliver but that parts easy.
I'm glad that my house is mine again and I don't have family drinking down vodka, messing up the bathrooms, laying on my bed with their shoes on, invading my computer, misplacing things in the house...yadda yadda yadda...I know I sound like such a complainer, but at times I really am a creature of habit.
Tommrow is work, and I must say I am quite excited to work with Mckenna. I think she might be the only reason I stay at Oilily, although I am looking for another job this new year.
Let's seee...this Sunday I'm off to see Autumn with Devin since she's going to be in St. Pete so it's gonna be fuunnn! Specially since it's her b-day and all.
Uhm...sleep deprevation is finally seeping it's way through system, and I have to work tommrow...which I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned.
I'm off to dreamland.
Goodnight to all!

I Made A Wish on 11:11...

Still waiting for my wish to come true....I'll never tell.
So my computer is waiting to be picked up from the Geek Squad. I've left it there an extra day as punishment for getting sick! Aren't I a stinker? LoL.

Today I saw Hulk Hogan shopping with Nick and Brooke. They look alittle different in person, it's kinda funny. I totally stalked them...and it kinda creeped me out. Haha. They must have been Christmas shopping or something.
So yesterday Sarah Rivera came to visit me with someone who I hadn't seen in years....Micheal Hauter! Still tall but not quite the string bean I was used to seeing. We've planned a BCA reunion for December 29th. So anyone who went to that....."wonderful" school, come join us in Ybor City for lunch and a movie, it's gonna be fun.
So Oilily is not doing to well it seems. Which means it's time for me to find another job. I was looking into St. Joseph's hospital because there's always something to do there. Wish me luck, job's are scarce these days.

On a happy note, I've gotten most of my Christmas shopping done! I've just got to get one more thing for Mallory, a couple of things for Casey, one for McKenna and something for my mother....which means something chocolate for her.
So Heroes season 3 is finished and let me say it was really really really confusing! OMG...yeah but I loved it and I can't wait to see what season 4 is gonna bring. Apparently they're all fugitives now.
And now I'm watching House...but it's an old episode, which saddens me. But I'll deal, new episodes in the new year to come! Party!
Tommrow I want to go to the youth group christmas party and chill with my little homies, haha.
So that's the news for now, nothing to interesting huh?
Why don't you leave me a comment, those make me happy.

Peace

I Miss My Own Computer...

For those of you who actually read my blog and don't know, I've been secretly using the computer at work to get all my internet dailes done.
Now I know this is no excuse for my lack of updates, truth be told I've just been down right lazy, but with this new year approaching, I promise things will get better.
So computer tower has been at the geek squad for almost three weeks and I think it might be finally time to go and pick it up. Apparently it caught some nasty Malware bugs and had to be cleaned out...thanks Verizon. X(
I think after we're done with the first 6 months we're going to switch to Brighthouse.
So interesting things as of lately? Not to much. Being a slave to your job is definately no fun at all but working is all I've been doing for the past...ohhh...3 or 4 months. I've bonded so good with McKenna, my co-worker, that I have no idea how I survived Oilily this long without her.
Driving...it's coming along okay. I've kinda slowed down with it after I got my wisdom teeth pulled and I get the feeling that I need to start up again if I ever dream of becoming independant someday.
Things to I've been following lately? Postsecret.com and TWLOHA.com.
Totally in love with these two organizations! What are they you ask? To start, Postsecret is a community started started by one man where you can send in a postcard with your most private secret and let the world know without revealing yourself. It's pretty amazing and eye-opening and a few have made me cry. I've been thinking about sending some of my own in someday soon.
TWLOHA? It stands for To Write Love On Her Arms. It's an organization based in Cocoa, Fl and deals with people who are thinking about scuicide, people who have lost friends to scuicide, depression, self-mutilation, ect. Now I'm not saying I'm any of these because I'm not, but I have friends who fall into this category and I've lost a couple of very special people because of it.
This organization is here to help those people who just need someone to talk to, it's amazing. Bands everywhere have gotten involved, you can see these interns at music venues and other various places and the cool thing is...they really care. Get involved.
Well I have to go and open the store now. That's it for now until I get my computer back and can post up some pictures. Until then, Peace.

Guess Who I Saw At The Mall?????

Linda Hogan!!!!
OKay so I'm not sure what her maiden name is because I know she's like in the process of divorcing Hulk Hogan...or maybe she is already.But anway, I was at work talking with McKenna when all of a sudden I see her and her much much younger boyfriend out of the corner of my eye!!! My jaw dropped and I ran to the doorway to watch them walk into Burberry. Actually, Linda was like sorta draggin her boyfriend almost. Hehe it was kinda funny. Me and McKenna kept walking to the door to see if they would walk back in our direction and finally when we weren't paying attention, they walked past again. McKenna's jaw dropped this time and we ran to the door and like stared at the back of her head the whole time they walked away.Haha there were some people that stopped in their tracks and stared to. But she's like a local celebrity around Tampa, because she and the rest of the Hogan's live in Clearwater.But anyways, it was kinda cool to me anyways...lol. I know I'm a doooork!Oh, and she happens to have really nice blonde hair extensions. I know for a fact that's not her real hair. And she's really tall too!But that's my excitment for the day.Until next time!

This Is What I Get For Working In Retail....

Ohhh boy....

Imagine my surprise to get to work when the FedEx dude decides to drop 13 big ones alllllll for me! I wanted to cry..really. I've had to deal with boxes, upon boxes, upon boxes!Can you tell I'm so excited???

Yeah...there they are. Those awful things.....

But whatever...I dealt with it and there's not much left for me to do tommrow. Other than that life's been pretty boring. I've been procrastinating on getting into school, and getting a job at Publix.

Oh...I just heard that Obama won. God help us all. That's it for tonight, sorry for lack of updates. There will be a better one tommrow.

Peace,

Kianni

Lack of Updating is B-A-D

Okay so I finally have stuff to blog about! Work has been keeping me tired...which makes me lazy, which makes me not want to update. See, there's a good excuse for everything.
So there's a new girl at work named Heather and I already LOVE her! She's sooo sweet and she's 19 just like me. We like the same music, have the same taste in clothes and other stuff too. It's pretty pretty cool. I can't wait to work more with her which is going to be happening because Cassie is going on her maternity leave early soo more hours for me! Devra wanted me to start working on Sunday's after chuch but my mom is not having any of that. If I had my own car I would but as long as me and my mom are sharing one and I don't have a liscence yet, I'm stuck to her rules. Oh well.
But on the driving news, it's all going pretty well. I drive most of the time and take interstate. Buuuuuut I'm still really bad at turns..and backing up..and getting into parking spaces. Those are pretty important right? Guess I need alot more practice.
My mom and I are going to Publix tommrow so that I can fill out a job application. I really want to work at Oilily until January like planned, but if Publix can hire me right away I'll have to take it because it'll probably be more helpful in the long run. Publix will help with school and stuff so it's pretty good.
Speaking about school. I'll hopefully start in January taking Remedial Math. What sucks is I have to pay for that class and it doesn't even count towards my credits! Grrrrr...whatever. I hate math, I'm really really bad if you didn't guess by now. My mom said if I don't get into school this year then I'll have to get a full time job and I really don't want an office job.
I think that Oilily might be going down the tube though. There is so much drama going on in the company that it's like a soap opera! I don't want to say to much though...I will another time.
So today at work I got a visit from Kyle!!! I haven't seen the dude in like a whoooole month, let alone talk to him. I was starting to get sad and stuff because Kyle's like the big brother I never had. Soooo I nearly tackled him when I went to see him.
He's doing good. Right now he's playing for the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Performing Arts Center! Isn't that cool?. He's going to be really busy for like a long time so I don't know when I'll see him agian...buuut there's always the phone. He promised to call me back everytime I called and he couldn't answer so I'm holding him to his word!!! Or else!!
Anyways, I'd better end it here. I have to get to work tommrow morning.
Oh and wish me luck! Thursday I get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed...scary!!
Peace,
Kianni

It Was A Long Day...

So Kim had to cancel me babyisitting and sleeping over because she wasn't feeling to welll. That's okay though, there will be other times.

Other than that, it was an okay day at work. It was slow but a couple of our regualar customers came in and made it worthwhile. But other than that....I was pretty much bored. Annnd when Kianni gets bored she has to think of ways to entertain herself, so I took a couple of pictures to show you what I do at work! I like to play around in the dressing rooms and take pictures!

I check the e-mails at work! Fun stuff.....

So that's pretty much it. I don't have anymore cool pictures to show you. Buuut hopefully my next blogs will be more interesting. I'm tired and I have to work tommorow...so peace out!

<3 The Little Lady

Okay so I made a promise to myself that I would try and post a new blog everyday, if not every other day. I don't want this blog to end up abandoned and that is something that could come very easily with me. I'm easily side-tracked if you don't already know. But I'll try to keep this thing interesting. You can't really blog when nothing exciting happens that day right?
But anyways moving on....
These days, everything just been kind of happening in a blur. There's soooo many different things going on in just this past week alone it's crazy! Sometimes trying to keep my head on straight can prove to be a challenge. I think I'll start with the first important thing.
My mother's friend Jerome Mancuso, also known has Pancho passed away last Wednesday. He is the one that me and my mom went to the Bahamas with also with his sister. He had been battling cancer for a long time now and sadly it took him. He was a really great person when he wanted to be, and he's not suffering anymore.

I'm not sure about his relationship with God. I can only hope that he saw the light before leaving this earth. He'll be missed. We had an awesome time in the Bahamas.

He will be missed.

Other than that work's been kicking my butt lately. I've been working long hours...but I really can't complain. I mean, I have a job, I'm making money when alot of people out there are losing theres. I just get tired sometimes...we all do right? So this is one of the many ways that I keep myslef occupied before work starts. Hahaha I mess around in the dressing room before work with the little manniquins! Those things are really creepy! It's like something out of a horror movie where they could start moving at any minute and try to kill ya!

But it keeps me from being bored right!

Hopefully I'll be getting a new job soon, I need to get out of retail and start a new job so that I can start school, pay for car insurance and become more idependant.

Those things are really freaky!!

At the end of the day though, there are things in life which keep me sane. Some of those things being, my friends like Mallory and Matthew,Sami-bear, Rachel and Matt, Mary and Eric, Kyle, Casey, Devin and Autumn, Elliot and Tara, Suzzie, Angie, Melody, Haley. Oh the list could go on and on and on. I think I would be lost without them. They definately keep me grounded in my faith and in life. These special people make me want to strive to become a better person. With that being said, I going to be trying to read my bible more, pray better and harder, and just push myself alittle more. Wish me luck! Well, I'd best be moving on, got chores to do today and really not much time to get them finished in.

Two of the reasons why I get up in the morning.
I love them more than anything.

Well, tommrow I babysit for the Cragg's. I'm spending the night and what not so I'll have pictures posted up after that. Peace out!

<3>

I've Joined the Blogging Family!

So I've finally jumped aboard the blogging train!

Everyone at my church has one of these it seems and now a few of my friends have decided to get one so I thought, what the heck right?
And I was feeling sorta left out.
But this should be fun. I like to blog.
In case you didn't know, I'm on deviantart.com, myspace, and facebook. Soo if your my friend on one of those sites, don't be surprise if this blog is the same as what's on the others. But sometimes I'll blog things on here that I won't do on my other ones.

So it's really late now, this is just going to be my begining post and tommrow I'll start for real!

Love to all!
