Just got home from the midnight showing of new moon and it was amazing!!!  they really followed the book which was great. new moon was my favorite book so i think they did a great job with it!! 

I went home early today from work with a horrible headache!! I took a 3 hour nap! Had dinner with my family and watched adventureland and gossip girl! I think kristen stewart is a terrible actress! she makes the same damn face for everything! I just dont get it! Your an "actress" but can't make different facial expressions for different emotions!! LOL end rant!

I'm feeling better though so thats a good thing because earlier i could not function at all. Back to the grind tommorrow. My friend Christina had her baby today!! she sent me a picture and he is the cutest thing!! I'm going to visit her sometime this week so I can see them both!

I love NYC and I want to move there so badly!!  Now Im a color expert at Sephora!! I have been freelancing alot more. I have done some weddings, a photoshoot and a fashion show!! So the make up thing has been going well! :) 

I went to Europe in July!! It was one of the best experiences of my life!! I went for 12 days and went to Italy, France and England! I went parasailing in Nice!! I still can't believe I did it because I am so scared of heights!

I have been having so much fun!! i haven't been this happy in a long time. My life is in a good place right now. I finally know who my real friends are!! i have a great job and work with great people. :) I'm going to post some new pics soon of some of my nights out once my friend kathy sends them to me. I need to get new batteries for my camera

LOL I love the song 21 by the starting line. I turned 21 on the 20th and things have been crazy ever since. lol I have been going out alot more which i never use to do. I have ran into people who i use to be close too but lost contact with so its been cool. I feel like i actually have a life. lol Tuesday i went out for dinner and drinks with some of my sephora girls. we had such a great time. Last night I went to ladies night at manhattan grill with my friend kathy. Had a little to much to drink and she had to drive my car back to my house. I had off today so i got to sleep in! lol Life has been good. I really things have came together nicely. I couldnt be happier.

its offically my birthday!! I'm 21 years young today!!!

I got my macbook today! I love it! I am sitting outside in my backyard with my mom and grandma. Its a super nice day out! I love having a laptop!! my sister threw the biggest fit in best buy today because she is getting a laptop for college but she wants a real expensive one! I help buy this computer myself my sister isnt so she needs to get a computer that is more reasonable in price. well i am off! i am going to enjoy the rest of this nice day

I have completed week one of training with Sephora and I have too say I love my new job!! I love everyone I work with!! Its all about working together as a team which is great. Are training is do much in deatil!! I feel like i'm in school all over again but in a  good way!! I'm learning so much about makeup, skin, hair, and your smile!! Its crazy!! I still have 2 more weeks of training and then we have to start putting our store together!! It opens Sept. 5th!!

I want to learn everything I can about makeup so I went to the book store and bought some great makeup books!! They are so interesting to read. I have brand training starting on the 13th and that means free stuff!! lol I'm bummed though because I have a huge makeup brand training on the15th which was when I was supose to go see Paramore in philly but now I can't go!! They are actually playing here today at virgin vest but the tickets were $100 so that was way too expensive for me so that was a no go as well.

My 21st birthday is coming up!! I'm super excited for that!! August 20th!! My friends have all been thinking of things for me to do on my birthday! All I know so far is that I willbe going out!! haha  I'm getting a macbook for my birthday so I'm so excited!! I have been wanting one for 2 years now.

Well I'm off! I have some things I need to review for my training tomorrow!

I just got home from the beach!! I had so much fun!! It was very relaxing!! It felt os great to get away!!  I ate so much good food but I will be working hard at the gym all this week!! LOL I did some shopping and got a cute new dress and a dimonand necklace!! I have been wanting this necklace for a year and my mom bought it for me as an early birthday present!! Yesterday my sister and I went jetskiing!! I have never been before so I was excited! I let my sister drive first since she has done it before!! she went super fast and I got scared!! I was yelling for her to slow down but then I got used to it!! lol! Then I got to drive and I sucked!! I just need more practice!! while my sister was driving we both ended up falling off of the jetski!! I don't even knowhow it happened! lol It was fun though and I want to go again!!

I start work tomorrow so I am going to go unpack

Today was my last day at the day care center!! It was very bitter sweet!! I am going to miss all of my babies and of course Leah and Jess but I won't miss much else!! Plus i'm allowed to visit so I can still check up on my babies every now and then and make sure they don't forget me!!

On a better note, I am leaving for the beach tonight!! I won't be back until sunday. I don't have a laptop so no updates until after then. I'm so excited!! I haven't had a real vacation in a while!! I have always went away for a day or 2 but not a whole 5 days in like 3 years!! :)

I start at Sephora on Monday so I'm excited about that!! I have to go  finish my last minute packing!!

I am at the court house for jury duty. I am so bored! The man next to me is asleep and is snoring so loud. I'm typing this from my blackberry. I'm hoping to be out of her soon because today is warped tour and I have tickets and want to go :( this is no fair I could be having fun at warped tour but instead I'm stuck here being bored!

I put my two weeks in at the daycare center! they didn't take it too well but oh well!! :) I'm so excited about my new job!!

Anyway I have a funny story to share!!  the past 2 days my car has been smelling super bad!! Like some died in it! Well I look in the trunk of my car and find that my mom had left a bag from the market in there with chicken in it!! ahh my car smells so bad! I rolled down all of the windows so it can air out! lol

I have afree day since work sent me home early!! I'm super bored and don't know what to do with myself!!

peace,

shannon

I feel like my life is starting to come together. I have made some changes and I couldn't be any happier. I got a call today from Sephora!! I got the  job!!! I'm so excited!! I am making so much more money they I was at the daycare center. On Monday I am putting in my 2 weeks. I'm so happy about that.

I have been eatting better and exercising. I am trying to get into better shape. I got inspired after going to watch the pageant I was supose to compete in. It made me realize what I missed and the weight that I have gained from stress and being so unhappy. Its not a lot of weight but I want it off!! LOL I am motivated to get into better shape that I have ever been. I have missed pageants and I will be back competing next summer!! :)

 I'm done doing things to please everyone else!! It's time to make my self happy for once and do want I want to do!!

Ugh I hate my job!! I have been putting in applications in every place I can so I can get out of that damn daycare center and start doing something with makeup!! I have an interview with sephora on wed! I'm trying to prepare my portflio and everything by then! I also talked to the manager of the MAC counter at my local Macy's and she really wanted me to apply because I am licensed and gave me an application to fill out and fax to the requiter so hopefully that goes well! I just need to get out and start doing something for me and that I love!!

I have been so busy with trying to stay sane at work and looking for a new job! The past two weekends I have went to the beach so it was such a great way to relax and forget! Of Course I never wanted to come home! LOL
