Jamie's Junk in the Trunk now open!

Well exciting things are happening :] First of all I have a job prospect, I don't want to talk about it yet because I may jinx myself but it is full time, benefits, close to home, and pays well! This also means I may not be going to California in April...which was kind of not planned yet so thats ok. Alex and I have been having a terrible time deciding what to do and I think we finally decided to either go to DC for a few days or go to the Annapolis mall one day and hang out at the Apple store :P NERDS.

Secondly, I started an Etsy account! Store one of Jamie's Junk in the Trunk has officially opened. Maybe someday I will have a real life version but for now this is perfect. Right now I only have 7 items up. Nothing has moved but people have "favorited" my items so that is really neat. I mean there is tons of people and items on Etsy and I have been favorited like 6 times! I have up items that I have loved and collected over the years (even inherited) but quite frankly I am ready to move on and love new things.

I was talking to Nicole the other day and she was like, where do you get this stuff? I said, Idk its just kind of all over my house, i've been collecting years! And she said, "I thought you liked your collection?" I do like my collection but I can't keep collecting if I hold onto every little thing! I guess I never saw it from someone elses point of view so I thought that was interesting.

Ok well visit my store, new stuff will be up next week also. On Etsy you can only sell handmade or antique/vintage items so thats why everything is old and probably wouldn't interest any of my friends haha.

sexyy one pieces

For the past 2 years I have been SEARCHING for a super cute one piece. Easier said than done let me tell you. Still on the search but here are a few that I think are super cute.

mac

Happy February! Yesterday was the grand day that I have been waiting for ever since the Iphone came out. It was available for verizon customers to order online! Of course I missed the deadline and can order mine on February 9th. I cannot wait to get mine. I am convinced this will be the last brand of phone I will ever need to buy. I have had Macs since I was a kid. My sister had a Mac in college (yea back in the 80s haha). And then when she graduated she gave it to me. I had that thing for quite a long time. I remember typing papers on it in the 4th grade. That computer was so old it only did like 3 things- printed papers, played 3 games, and I think it had a calculater but I wouldn't sware by that. The screen was even in black and white. I wish I still had that thing- its a total relic!!!!!! Anyhow thats my mac memories for the day haha.

things that I find annoying lately

Well any college graduate could understand my frustration with the next few topics haha.

-First of all its annoying that people don't understand why I took my pre-college job back. I don't have a job. They called me for a job. Put two and two together and some money is better than none.

-Next, it really is annoying when people keep telling me I should open a boutique. If you haven't noticed we are in an economic slump! Also the only places where I could open a boutique that would do remotely well around here...are not close to my house at all.

-Third annoying topic..."why don't you move to New York and open a business?" UMMMM thats nice except I don't have any money to just pick up, move, rent an apartment, and a space to open my boutique plus buy inventory!



ps. went back to work tonight and loved it, missed it, and can't wait to go in on wednesday haha.


And people who were obsessed with Jess and my long hair and can't understand why we cut it....grow your hair to your ass and see how you like it. :]

Las Vegas, California and beyond.

Well I have had a very exciting month of January so far. I won't give every detail because either I have already told you or plan to tell you when I see you next but, in the last few weeks I went to Las Vegas and several places in California. Las Vegas was fun but I had more fun in Atlantic City! California on the other hand was definitely a whole new experience for me. I have never been somewhere with so many different climates and terrains all bundled into one. We stayed in Rancho Mirage for the majority of the trip and it was actually one of my favorite places the whole trip. Rancho Mirage is a lush, green, flowering, tropical oasis in the middle of the desert. Several famous people live and have lived in the town and when visiting there its easy to see why.

Another cool place we went was Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, and Malibu. I group them together because when your driving along the highway its almost hard to tell one from the other. I really enjoyed seeing all three of them and hope to go back and spend more time in each someday. Lastly Hollywood was a cool place to see. It would have been way cooler if I kept up with movie stars and such but I still enjoyed it!

I really can't wait to go back. I've been home almost a week and have been miserable ever since I left. Its way easier adjusting to a warm balmy climate than it is adjusting to the artic of the Eastern Shore! Alex and I are talking about going back in April. I guess we will see how my job search progression is going.

Speaking of job search, while I was in CA my old boss at Cato called and asked if I could work there till I found a job. I am so thankful to have a good boss who appreciated me as an employee and friend. I am also thankful to have some money coming in while I find a job. I know when my two best friends graduated college it took them several months to find a job and they both went back to their previous jobs and now they are doing really well. Lets just hope this is my case as well!

The past four days Alex painted my room. It was bubblegum pink with polka dots- a four year olds dream room. Now it is a burgundy/rose color. Very mature looking :] Alex still calls it pink but it definitely is more on the borderline of burgundy. Today mom and I are going to buy fabric to make curtains. I have a lovely black and white fabric picked out that will go PERFECT with the victorian look I was going for.

Well have a great day and Happy almost Birthday to me ;]

I will be on vacation for a few weeks so I won't be blogging!
