Working Again and ENGAGED! to be married....

So first things first, IM ENGAGED!! Handsome Gentleman Friend is Handsome Gentleman Fiancee! We went to our favorite place Elevation 66, to try their new menu, and he totally surprised me on my way to the bathroom ;3 lol!! The ring is titanium and redwood, cause im a california girl, and on the inside it says "Remember, I love you!!" Because hes a big sweet sexy enchilada (so spicy and cheesy). The food was also awesome, I had morraccan chicken over roasted vegis, and holy COW. HGF had smoked gouda mac n cheese and of course there were delightful beers and after the proposal the waitress brought us champagne. Desert was ice cream with stout brownie and salted caramel, and of course tears of joy because I SAID YES but I think you figured that out. Now I have to plan not one, but two weddings because really all my people are here, and all his people are in Utah and what ever we just wanna party and eat nachos and get drunk. Yes, I want a nacho bar for my wedding. Your Welcome.

Next up, I have a job!! Im working for a company who does gift shops for special events, aquariums, zoos, and attractions, My position? Sales lead for the Hunger Games Exhibition!! Now when I started i knew NOTHING about the HG but now I do. its pretty cool, A bunch of origional costumes, interactive displays, plus all the butter cup plushies you can stand. Also my boss is awesome and the company seems super cool. Makes corporate petshop and corporate retail seems like...slave labor,

Now enjoy some pictures of HGF on the coast as we celebrated engagement and heart shaped pizzas for V Day!

Job! Upcoming Adventure! Life!

And so much more! So I have been a work-a-holic this week at the new job. Not gunna lie, thusly its really not bad. Not bad at ALL. A little enjoyable even. Why would selling men's shoes possibly be enjoyable? Well, maybe its my frame of reference. After the California Corporate petshop gig and horrific managers, constant animal abuse and little monies, and before that working my happy ass off for no monies and little perks, and basicly having had a bunch of crappy jobs, its nice to have a job where people know what their doing. Also, men know what the FUCK THEY WANT. They want a pair of shoes. They want to leave with a pair of shoes. I fetch shoes they give me monies. Not that there arnt annoying/evil/spoiled customers, and not that there arnt angry wives, but over all its "Fetch me this shoe" which isnt to hard. well, sometimes its hard to locate it, but that too is like a treasure hunt. and we KNOW how I feel about treasure/geocashing/etc.

Memorial Weekend was the 75th anniversery of the Golden Gate Bridge.

 they had lovely fireworks, bands, food trucks (OMG) and tons of fun, which Gentleman Friend told me ALL about as I.... was working... Earnin the cash ;) Anywho, Papa worked on the bridge loooooong ago, mostly for earthquake retrofits but still, that bridge helped put food on my familys table.

This weekend Im going to be spoiled out of my mind by the GF. His best friend is coming to town and apparently we're going to PARTY!! In varios citys even ;) Not gunna lie, super excited!!!

And so it is (a little explicit)

Yesterday was the real orientation for school. Meet the President, thank you for your money, get excited, see cheereaders (at art school? oh my) get excited, draw things, get excited, Charlie Brown, Star wars, get excited, harry potter, blah blah blah...

Oh ya, Im an Urban Knight. Oh Detroit dont shun me please.

But I DID get to meet the head of my department. Yay!! and I got supply lists, got to see Fashion Rachel, (Double Yay!!) see Cory (tripple yay!!) and remember why I dont live in dorms (Uberist yay ever!!!!) School starts tomorrow. Holy Cows.

Still no job. Corporate Petshop is evil and the manager out here can kiss my happy white ass. Jerking me around, bah! I'll get all ghettoblaster on him. lol. Not really, I'll write a strongly worded email to corporate and apply for other jobs. Im a weinie...

Anywho, pictures are coming from the trip, plus stories of stories of stories... Cats are good, Herman is king and Cooper is still as fuzzy and incoherant as ever. Most of my lovely plants didnt make the trip, but the green spidey did, aloe vera wang, and the chicken farm are doing nice. I also have some spideys from Joanne, which are from a 30 year old plant from her oldest son's memorial... memorial spideys!! Their feisty buggers too. Pictures are coming. And Im terrible and got a goldfish. A little humpbacked Ranchu who is too cute for words. He will have a 10 gallon soon, and grow to be a beast!! mwahahaha!!!

Ok, so back to school stuff. My school has free buses for me around the city. Also, free workshops, free exercise and who knows what else! Well, not free, part of my ungodly tuition I'll be paying off for the rest of my eternity. I plan on taking advantage of as much as possible. I wanna be hot, fit, smart and oh so talented. Also, kinda thinking about Viola lessions.... Prolly not, but OMG it would be awesome.

BTW, check out crockpot365.blogger.com and see what I live off of, aka my food bible. This gal rocks.

Accomplishment!

Finished over at the Piquat Museum. Its bitter sweet, on one hand its done and Im free, but I like working over there. Of course I had a very awkward moment when one of the head people came up to me and mentioned the job was supposed to be done by June. oops. Oh well, I had no idea. But my side is DONE!

Made another chicken in the crock pot! Super easy:

Chop potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and half a bell pepper (I used orange) and toss in pot. Cover one chicken in cajun seasoning. toss in the pot. Put Crock on low for 7-9 hours. Inhale. :) OMG I love the crock pot!!! I also made this last night:



All I can say is, YUM. Holy crap yum. And good with soy milk even! (Vanilla Soy, lol) Make this soup. Now.

I have been on an Adam Carolla riff for the past few days. Just obsessed with the pod cast. so many hours of podcasts!!! lol
