Border's Goodbye's!

Welcome to Tuesday's Post,

Sorry, yesterday was a pretty busy day and I haven't had any of my posts all made up and ready before hand so I know I seem a little disorganized. 

I can't believe Borders (my favorite bookstore) is going out of business. It's just so hard to chew over. The only thing I think we can blame is the economy because I know it is hitting everyone hard. It's a disaster just waiting to unsheathe it's sword. However, I am proud to say that I got to spend a few last hours in the bookstore last Sunday, enjoying the books one last time. The only place I've ever liked shopping for books. I can't bring myself to shop elsewhere. I refuse. This store closing frenzy will not silence my need to own books or to buy them. That's what the internet is for is it not.

Last Sunday, while I was out shopping at Borders I bought three new books.

1. The Book Thief
2. Howl's Moving Castle
3. Lock and Key

Since Borders was going out of business where I live. I got all three books 20% off their original price. I think the cashier told me I saved like $5.30. I was like that's so awesome. Now the only thing on my list to get is a new Borders Rewards Card. My old one was stolen along with my wallet back in July.  What really made me mad is the person who stole my card, used it in two different locations. Thankfully, Borders Customer Service was able to cancel my card so the person wouldn't be able to use it and then they told me they'd be able to transfer all my benefits to the new card. When I asked the cashier for a new one, she told me that she couldn't give me one. Can you believe that. Hmph, it made me so mad. Then she had the nerve to tell me I could get one online, I was told earlier by Customer Service people that I couldn't get it online. So I was like okay they must have changed the procedure. So I'll be crawling off to do that in a bit.

I love volunteering at the Library. I really enjoy helping people and talking to people. I'm so proud of myself. I taught someone how to use the computer and I was happy to see them smile once they got the hang of it. I also picked up "Six" more books to read. That brings my total to like fifteen...I think.

1. Warriors 2: Fire and Ice
2. Chosen
3. Heist Society
4. Fire
5. Starcrossed
6. Eyes like Stars

Before, I went up to the Library I was at Joyce's house. Sue was showing me all the things I would have to do this week while they are away on vacation. I'll be taking care of Joyce on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. So I won't be able to volunteer Tuesday (which I'm bummed out about). I'm actually really excited to have the house all to myself. Although, I'm not sure how I will get to church on Sunday but I'm sure I'll fine a way. I'll have to ask around to see if I can get a ride.


Love Britt

A New Chapter In My Life...!!!

Hey Everyone, So I started a new Job. Well technically I've been there for a few weeks but I haven't been posting anything on my blog. It feels like it's been an eternity. And I guess I should start from the beginning. So I was at my new job, maybe a couple days after I'd originally started working there. I was bagging for a cashier who I didn't know that well. Our customers started comparing us. They were saying we looked alike and that we could be related. We just looked at each other. I told our customers that I don't have an older brother, just a little sister and we didn't even look alike. The next day, he asked me what our customers were talking about. I smiled and told him that they thought we were related. Then other cashiers agreed and thought we could be brother and sister. Haha. I thought it was great. After that day, I didn't want to bag for any one else. He made working ten times better than I ever could have imagined. And we'd tal...

A Ruff Patch in the Pumpkin Patch...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night I had a class at the local community college. I was already late due to a nice conversation I had with my best friend over Skype. I really thought I'd get there on time. When I got there, I was rushing to get to the class but I got merely five steps over the bridge when I saw two people I usually talk to on the way out of class. They told me that our class was canceled. I wasted my gas to get there. It pissed me off. Not to mention that my boyfriend and I had a ruff day yesterday but everything is better now. We just had to talk about it. I was so scared I thought I was gonna lose him. Then last night he told me he was filling out papers for the air force and the navy. I started to freak out because I thought he was signing up for them. I just, we've been together for seven months and I'm not ready for him to up and leave me here while he's travelling the world.

13 is for Treize!

Salam, Good morning everyone. I think today is a really great day. I woke up way off schedule but I managed to get everything I wanted to get done this morning. I don't have very much time to complete this post so I got to type faster. I  am a busy little bee. I've been filling out applications everyday. Last night I was attempting to fill out an application way too late at night and decided it would be better to do them today instead. I feel like such a slacker. I'm not one though. I've been trying very hard to get a job, filling out five applications a day except yesterday because of poor judgment and planning. I'm normally pretty good with planning and organization. So I don't know what happened yesterday. I have been racing to get things done. I have my school work (home schooling), plus my daily chore chart(which I need to fill out), and my reading list which I already know won't be finished by the end of this year. Now, I'm focusing on a job ...
