So yesterday, we went to Fashion District, but the store that I like to buy my fabric from wasn't open!!! That kind of made me mad. I mean I thought the fashion district was pretty much always open, Monday through Sunday! And here I was looking stupid for going there, and it wasn't even open!

After that craziness. We decided to go to Alhambra because it was on the way to LA. So we stopped by and we looked for a store that I really liked, and guess what? That wasn't open either!!! So we basically had to go to the Santa Anita mall and hang out for a while. And then we went to go eat and then we finally went back to the plaza. After that, the store was open, and I went in and bought two earrings. I think their cute. Don't you?

Chanel Earrings!
Dior Earrings!
Anyway, I just got my tax money in, today, so I'm going to go buy that laptop that I've always wanted, but never really had the money for! And I'm going back to fashion district on Sunday to pick up some more fabric, even though I have work, because my manger scheduled me last minute!!! AHHHHH!

And by the way, I can't wait till New Moon comes out, even though I'm going to be pretty darn sad that Edward isn't going to be in the movie as much. :( But it's ok, because as long as Jacob cuts his long tresses in the movie, then maybe just maybe I will be fine.

By the way, don't ever go to Jo-Ann's! Unless they are having a close out sale. It's kind of a rip off. I went there Wednesday and I was so freaked out when I went to Walmart Thursday because I bought a yard stick, some needle threaders, and some heat and bond tape, and it was like half the price at Walmart! OMG, for reals! I'm going to go to Walmart from now on!

SO FINALLY I POST!

Ok, so I'm writing this post in notepad right now. Because my dad disconnected my internet earlier when I wasn't home. So this is a post from Thursday morning, and right now it's just 12:02AM. Anyway So I'm going to start with Saturday, and end with Wednesday (yesterday).

So Saturday after I got off work, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Jo-Ann's in Lakewood, because they were having a big store closing sale. And I got a bunch of little cute jewelry stuff. I picked up some little random ones, because frankly there was pretty much nothing really left. I think I got there a little too late. :( But on the other hand, my boyfriend picked up some very good stuff, that he said that he could use for work. And since everything was either 30-40% off that was a topped bonus. I was looking at the wedding stuff, but I didn't find anything that really interested me. They had thank you cards, and random little invitation card sets, but I didn't really want any of that stuff. I went there with no idea what I was going to get. I got a set of 12 pretty pink thank you cards, that I think I'll probably use when my birthday comes around, so if you get one in the mail, it's from me!

Some of the pretty jewelry pieces I picked up!

And on Sunday, I slept in a little at my boyfriend's house. Seeing as how I never get to sleep in because of school and work. So that was nice! Anyway, so after I slept in for 12 hours, my boyfriend came home and woke me up, and started playing with me. AKA messing around with me. Which meant doing weird things to wake me up, like tickling me and stuff. I hate/absolutely despise getting tickled. I start to cry sometimes just so I can get out of it! Anyway after I got up and took a shower, we were off to our adventurous Sunday! We basically drove to downtown Los Angeles, AKA 9th street, AKA fashion district! And I picked up some beautiful pieces of cloth to make pillows out of! They were all so very gorgeous!

There were the fabrics that I fell in love with!
When we went to fashion district, we went to el pollo loco, and they had these tiny little cups for soda!

After that we went to the grove in Los Angeles, so we could go to Anthropologie! And after seeing Lauren's cup, I wanted to see if I could get one too. And I found it! And I bought it! My boyfriend's kind of weird. I think he doesn't understand why women like Anthropologie, but I see why we love it!
Anthropologie! I love your cute stuff forever!
We basically walked around the grove a little bit, and I never realized that they have a big all day farmer's market right next to it. It was amazing, we walked in, and there were every and any type of food you could ever want. There was chinese food, mexican food, japanese sushi, GUMBO!!! And a lot of very interesting foods! I told my boyfriend that when I get money we would come back and try some of the food there!

Monday came by and nothing really exciting happened that day. Except I had my final for pharmacy 60... And it was alright. I didn't think it was all that exciting, or easy. It was like I said, alright.

Tuesday came around and I went to work as usual. And I got off at the usual time, 4PM. And when I got home, my mom was home because she got the day off from work, because it was a holiday at CSULB. And she was doing taxes. Yes, I know my mom is slow. No, I don't really care if she takes forever to do something. Anyway she was doing the taxes, and she asked me if I had my paperwork from school. I said I wasn't sure where it was. And I would look for it. So I tore up my room looking for a letter, saying what I paid for school in 2008. I finally found it and gave it to my room. (While my room looks like a bum shack because I tore it up looking for that tax paper. Reminder: If my dad hands me my mail, make sure if it's important, or looks important to give it to my mom asap!) Anyway I think I could have saved myself a whole lot of trouble if I had simply just given the letter to my mom earlier. Oh well.

Anyway so then I decided to use my dad's shredder to shred up a bunch of paperwork I've had since 2005! So I did that, and while I was doing that, my mom kept asking me weird questions about my taxs, etc. I finally got up from the floor, where I was shredding, and asked her what she needed to know, and she simply told me that I was getting $1,400 back from my tax return. HOLY COW! I started freaking out! That is the most money I have ever gotten back from my tax return, like ever!

So then I decided in my head what I wanted to buy: New laptop, thats for sure. A new camera, with a 2.0 inch screen, and a new mp3 player. Seeing as how my mp3 player is pretty much broken now. :( And my camera's screen is super scratched up! So yay! I also told my boyfriend since I'm getting so much money back, that I would treat him out to whatever he wants. Right now he's debating between a nice lunch at yard house, a bicycle, or a new pair of shoes. What do you think he should get?

Today, I went to school, and took my last final before spring break. YAY! And then I left class feeling pretty confident about that final. And when I got home, I started asking Christine about laptops. Because I honestly don't know enough to make a good judgement about which one I want to buy. I was seriously thinking about the macbook white, because it's beautiful and at $999, it's just perfect. But I'm not quite sure which one I want to get. But then Christine said that the mac computer keeps changing all the time, and that I should probably stick with a dell laptop. So I think I'm going to do that. I have to see if they have a small laptop with a CD/DVD drive combo and that weighs like very little.

And so Christine invited me to go out with her later. We went bowling! Which is really fun! Because I've only been bowling twice before, and I obviously suck. But it was fun with Christine because we kept encouraging each other to do better! I can kind of imagine working out with her. We would probably encourage each other to walk/run an extra mile on the treadmile! Anyway after that, we went to Tea Station, I've never been there. Because I never knew it was in this tiny plaza next to the mall. Anyway when I got there, I wasn't sure what to order, and Christine ordered almond tea. Or something like that. SORRY, if I wrote the name wrong Christine! All I know is that it was yummy! It tastes like almonds!

And that concludes my crazy weekend/last couple of days! Sorry that I didn't mention Twilight in my post. I'm hoping to mention it more later on!

So last night, after I wrote this super long post about the last couple of days, I couldn't go to sleep, and I realized that I'm a little out of shape. So I was looking at my Self magazine, and they had these little cute cards, that you could rip out and put anywhere. So I ripped them out and made my desk a little nicer, with the little ripped out exercise sheets.

My first attempt at making an exercise board!
I think this one looks way better!
My messy desk after I finished. I couldn't find anything afterwards!More random pictures from this weekend/last week:
We went to Artist Crawfish Express, and my boyfriend got Hite.
