Throwback Thursday: what it's like to work on Thanksgiving.

So somehow Thanksgiving became pretty much an opening act for Black Friday... And a lot of people think that's a terrible thing... And it's a little messed up, but in some ways it also makes Black Friday more like Thanksgiving. More people probably shop with their families than usual and that's always a nice thing. For the people working... From experience it isn't terrible.

Usually, the customers aren't that violent or demanding. In fact, I think the majority of people are really nice around the holidays. Sure, a lot of the grumpier customers I've had have been around the holidays... But for the most part they aren't mean or anything. They make a mess,sure but for the most part it all gets cleaned by closing, so it isn't too too bad. 

One thing I don't like is that it smells worse than any other day. Most people just had a big meal and they're stomach isn't feeling fantastic most likely... So there are farts. There is crop dusting and farts and it is stinky and terrible. And the farting etiquette is not the best in a store with no bathrooms... So there is that. 

The other thing is, I like to shop too! And you can't really if you're working. There is usually a tote bag at the mall that I couldn't get even though I was there before anyone else. And there was a special at Victoria secret where they had perfume for like $20 for that day only. I really wanted the Victoria fragrance... But of corse when I went on Saturday, they didn't have it :(. I'm hoping they do the same thing this year... Even though I don't really want the perfume as bad and I have the mini mist... I'll actually be shopping this year so I can get the deal at least. Ohh well lol. 

Anyhoo that is about it. It's a fun event I suppose lol. I'm happy to be shopping this year... But not right after I eat probably, so I won't fart at least. Lol. 

BYEEEE!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
