The longest week of my life

So....to start off this is Breast Cancer Awareness month :) So even if you don't have a pair of your own wonderful boobs (men) go out...where pink..support the women in your life...or if you absolutely cannot where pink (mom) go out and help the cause in some other way.  My Coffee is currently selling a few types of wine that are donating part of the sales to the cause and it makes me feel great to be a part of it :)  That's a good thing going on at work...then there are not so good things in a way....while working millions of hours can be gratifying come payday...the actual working them is going to run me into the ground haha!  I'm exhausted and it's only Thursday...which I keep thinking it's Friday...while my fingers try and write Wednesday :/ don't ask...I don't understand either haha!  Good thing..while I am spending so much time at work, I'm getting the extra time to work on my coffee art :)  Here's a peak, come by and order a latter and I'll do my best to make you a pretty one hehe!

Last week I went dancing with my good friend Corrie...I am very excited because we are going again!! Woohoo!! Here are some pictures from last weekend...it involved lots of dancing and alcohol..yay!!  I must say it's pretty wonderful to just let loose right now...I'm tired of being stressed out and dancing is a wonderful way to relax and get some exercise :)  Here are some pictures from last week...there are also some from my sister's continuation of her bday party the following Sunday night haha!! In this family we don't just do one night of bday party....we do two....AT LEAST HAH!

Love my girl

Ummm.....hehe

Dancin

Cayenne Tequila...enough said hah!!

These are called Vegas Shots by the way, grey goose vodka with grenadine :)

                                                                                                                 You might see in some of these pictures that I have in fact dyed my hair red....TWICE haha!  The first time I didn't think it was drastic enough...I wanted super red..so here is the final product :)  I love it and have received tons of compliments...yay!!  And apparently it's sassy ;)Another drawback to working millions of hours is that I feel like a mole when I walk outside...the light actually hurts my eyes...sometimes the pain is severe, depending on the weather haha!! I've started tanning regularly...partly to relax and partly because my body needs sunlight...artificial or otherwise. 

A couple stories for you now.

                                                                                                                                                         Last week I had a "pirate movie moment"...you know when they finally find some treasure and open the box??? No..I did not find treasure haha...but I opened a roll of nickels to find that they are brand new...or appeared to be...they were so shiny...I oooohed and aaaaahhhed and swear I heard people singing  "aaahhh" Hahaha!! It was great :)                                                                                                                                

Today while working the first part of my split-shift...the girl I'm working with catches the oven mitt on fire LMAO...OMG..who rests their hand on the element and turns around and has a conversation? This girl apparently haha, but it's cool whatever...I just told her she was on fire...she put it out. Then during the second half..the girl closing is doing an alright job and then she has to count the money and counts all the change one. coin. at. a. time. Oh my goodness if I ever have to close with her again and she counts the till...I seriously might scream!!  The following picture is what I have to say to these two ladies.

Hmmmmmmm...NO! That is all :)

Sleep well everyone and pleasant dreams :)

Amanda

Wow how time flies......

So...It's been forever since I last blogged...partially due to having no internet but now I do!! Yay!! So excited to Skype my husband when we can make our schedules work :) Hmmmmm........where to begin....

Okay, so this weigh in is a little late because I've been so busy moving and such but here it is!!

Starting weight January 1 : 258
Starting weight June 1:       241
Starting weight Sept. 1:      208
CURRENT WEIGHT:      202                      
YAY!!!!!!! 
I don't know if you all can see that but that's a total loss of 56 pounds this year total!!! and 39 pounds since June 1st hehehehehhehe!! I'm so excited and feel great :D

my baby sis is all growed up

This weigh in was extremely difficult for me....I hurt my back about a month back and have not been able to go to the gym or work out for an entire month. :(  My back is still giving me trouble, but I'm confident that I'll be able to return to the gym soon...So a loss of 6 pounds is amazing in my mind!! I'm so grateful that I was able to keep it up through diet alone while I re-cooperate :)

By the way....everything is moved up to Beaverton and I'd like to thank everyone who came over and helped me pack, move stuff into the uhaul, countless trips to the thrift store, dump and everyone who drove up and helped me unload....phew!  I never would've been able to do it alone!  Without your help I never would've been able to spend the two days up in Portland with Fletcher :)

Now I will apologize ahead of time for anyone who rubs me the wrong way in the upcoming month and half....I will not be able to see Fletcher until Thanksgiving and as the weeks go by I'm sure I will become more and more agitated :/  I will do my best to limit myself to a few moments of weakness but I'm not sure I will make it all the way through this time without a few outbursts.  It will please you to know that I'm now on Paxil :)  I didn't want to be on an everyday pill, but the doctor said that it would be best :/  It seems to be helping..in more ways than one :)  I am a little calmer...I still have trouble going to walmart during peak business hours(so I try to avoid it at all costs) or any store for that matter.  It's saving me money haha!! as I have to do a quick sweep of the store kind of shopping ;) Also it helps me sleep, which is something that I haven't been able to do very well for a long time now...so for now things are seeming better.  I don't wish to stay on this pill forever, but for now I'm okay with it. :)

Last night was my sister Brianna's 22nd birthday :)  We had a blast...well what I remember of it haha! We hit a certain point in the night and everything went blank...I was told that I did quite a few things that I have no recollection of :/ but what I can remember was definitely fun hehe! So all in all, we had a good time.  It's bittersweet that while I'm writing about her birthday I'm remembering that my sister Sara (who lives in California) is going to be turning 21 this year and I won't be able to celebrate with her :(  I miss her and the rest of my Missouri family terribly.  I wish there was some miracle that would happen and I would inherit two round trip plane tickets so I could fly down and see my sis for her bday and then fly over for Christmas with my father, his new wife Cheryl, and my brother Jared.

Before I got drunk last night (hehe) I decided to color my hair :) What color you ask? Bright Red!!! It's a color I've never done before...I've done purple-burgandy-red, but this red is new for me :) Very excited about it and have come to realize that I can pull off almost any color of hair...YAY!! Because I love dyeing my hair so :) This is part of the living my life to the fullest...no regrets thing I'm trying...again Thank You Sam! You are a wonderful friend and overall person and you mean so much to me :) You've opened my eyes to a wonderful way of life!




TO SAM:  I know that sometimes life can suck but I know you will make it through this...just remember what you told me like a week ago.."girl, you are strong....like me :)" So I know you can do this!! Just think of happy things and before you know it you'll be right back here in good old Roseburg. Also, just hold out til like Mon or Tue when you get my care package...operation tootsie roll is almost complete ;) P.S. KARAOKE!! HEHE....YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!! :)



Well Next Monday will mark the beginning of costumes for A Christmas Carol...wish me luck I'm going to need it haha! I'm also knee deep in rehearsals for The Messiah....goodness gracious here I go again!  Well people...I'm exhausted after last nights partying and think I will relax. Now I leave you with more pictures from our party.........haha!

Love,
Amanda

I thought this one turned out cool :)

Aww :)

I LOVE YOU BRIANNA!!

So much to do still......

Well everyone...it has been a week since my last blog and I blame it all on my LACK of pictures haha! I've been waiting for a certain someone to upload pictures from a certain night to see if there were any I wanted to use...but I guess I will just go on without them because now I have so much catching up to do.

Starting with last Saturday....the band had a gig at Cycle Oregon :)  Cycle Oregon is called by many "the best bike ride in America" and rightly so...Oregon is awesome ;)  With over 2,000 cyclists joining in this year...the band sang for closing day in the starting city Sutherlin.  It was an awesome sight to behold and everyone was super friendly.  It was an awesome place to be..it was like the air was humming with energy.  The crowd was kind of lacking....as they were all exhausted from their trek haha, but it was definitely worth it...what great fun!!  They headed up to Cottage Grove..then over to Reedsport...through Bandon,...over to Powers..Riddle...and back up to Sutherlin....traveling almost 500 miles in all.  That's determination...congratulations to everyone who participated in this amazing event! :) Mercy Matthews..awesome little actress.--->

Sunday was yet another long and tedious day at work :/  We have been having a lot of slow days and this day was odd because the sales numbers were around the same as the previous week but it would be absolutely dead for an hour and then slammed-crazy busy for the next.  So I ended the day with a crazy hour and was almost late for the first night of auditions for A Christmas Carol.  Auditions were, and always are, filled with loads of talent and so much fun. :)  Skipping ahead a couple days..the cast list is up..sooo congratulations to everyone who made it into this wonderful show...even as just costumer I'm looking forward to working this cast.

Okay...back to Sunday evening...WHAT. A. NIGHT! haha..it started out with Melissa and I getting "one beer".  Yeah right..McMenamins closes at 10 and we didn't know that ordering our beers at like 930...so we chugged them down and told Melody to meet us at the Sawmill Tavern...a minutes walk up the road.  We walk in and there is karaoke :/ uh oh...the "one beer" has turned into another pitcher, because you can't sing karoke without beer ;) Then..the real problem shows up....two trucks of firefighters :/ they start by buying us another pitcher and then shots come to the table haha! And then the bartender buys me another shot! Goodness guys! (someone was obviously trying to get laid..not this girl guys..I'm taken)

Monday night is another day of packing, work, and then auditions. After auditions we go out to applebee's...this time I start out with my friend Corrie, whom I haven't seen in a while. So we start out with margarita's and jello shots haha!! That's my girl Corrie!!!  Then I run into an acquaintance from high school and it turns out she's a really awesome person...we ask her to join our table and have a lot of fun :)  Joined by Bethany soon after..we all have an awesome time.  I'm extremely excited when people that I most likely wouldn't have gotten along with, or just wouldn't have approached in high school, are so awesome that you want to hang with them.  I hope this is the beginning of a great friendship. :)  I go home and try to pack and relax with a cup of tea...chamomile to be exact.  Apparently I've never heard chamomile tea, otherwise I would've known that I'm allergic to it hahaha! Everything is fine, but now with this and my leg blowing up like a balloon after a bee sting the doctor is making carry an Epi-Pen.  Not too thrilled about shoving a needle into my leg if something happens and I need it, but oh well...such is life.

BTW!! I'M DOING THE READER'S DIGEST VERSION BECAUSE I'VE NOW BEEN TRYING TO WRITE THIS BLOG FOR TWO DAYS!! SSSSHHHH, DON'T TELL ANYONE HEHE!

Tuesday....myself...Beth...my mother...and my dear friend from college Cody go to Applebee's for lunch.  I know what your thinking...like, damn!! that girl eats a lot of Applebee's hehe, but honestly I've been there twice in the last year..both times in the last week ha!! Cody was only in town for a short time so I'm extremely grateful to have seen her and caught up!! Also, everyone should know that my mother is celebrating two years of beating alcoholism and we, her family are celebrating two years of having our mother back.  I'M SO PROUD OF YOU MOM!!!!

Wednesday...I pack all day....go to the theater for 90 min and take measurements for A Christmas Carol..go home pack some more..like 3-4am more :(

Thursday...wake up...pack some more..go to work..come home and pack some more..only 2am more this time...although I should've stayed up later. Although a lot was accomplished with the help of Beth and Taylor who were here til almost midnight :D

Friday...repeat...after work I go out to the VFW to sing then come home and pack for an hour...now fighting sleep to write this blog..eyes are closing........trying to see if I can get through adding the pictures to this so I can publish it haha!

Saturday....oh yeah..it's only 12:43 into saturday morning but I can give you a preview of what's to come..pack, work, gig, and sleep...repeat for Sunday ;(

OMG...I cant' believe I made it through the pictures..Yay!!!

Love to everyone,
Amanda

A Great Night :)

<------SILLY BOYS

I originally was going to call this "The Aftermath of Opening Night" haha, but after all the good things that people had to say about it and all the compliments I received I just couldn't! Not to mention the wonderful evening spent with friends directly following the show..so all in all it was a great night.

I'm supposed to be packing...but quickly realized that my back is not going to let me do that right now. :( So, I'm sitting here with my long-forgotten Shiatsu Massager trying to work out the kinks. Don't get me wrong..the chiropractor helped...A LOT, but ever since the initial pain has subsided the muscles in my back have been so tight that it's uncomfortable to do most everyday activities. Which includes work..which makes it very difficult :/ So...since I can't afford to go to a massage therapist, I'm hoping this trusty Homedics Massager will do the trick. (with the help of a muscle relaxer, maybe this is just what i need)

Amanda

Anyway..last night was opening night for The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker...and although I'm a little biased I recommend that you all go see it :)  They did a very good job and  were very professional when anything happened to go wrong..I don't think the audience noticed when it did.  Now most of the actors in this show are seasoned performers with UACT, but I must mention one newcomer to the theater....she shined on stage and I truly think this is her calling :)  Her name is Amanda (that's my name haha) she apparently just turned 17 and she is doing a truly magnificent job. Well beyond her years :) I heard from her very own lips that she is planning on auditioning for A Christmas Carol and I'm very excited to work with her on this production as well. BTW, Christmas Carol auditions are this Sunday and Monday at 6:30pm at UACT theater followed by call backs on Tue at the same time.  There are going to be 25 roles cast, most of which will be playing another character as well..so please come out and audition..we'd love to see some new faces :)

Back to 'Pennypacker' :) After the show it's tradition that a sort of organized chaos ensues.....all the patrons and actors head back onto the stage and chat about the show...say hello to old friends not seen in a while...say hello to new faces as well.  It was a wonderful feeling to hear people telling friends that the 'costumes were amazing' and 'they really looked authentic'...all the while they have no idea that I'm the one who made them. I get to eavesdrop and hear first hand just what they think :)...I know, I'm tricky like that. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with rave reviews...it's always nice to finish a job and know that you did your best and people really enjoyed it.  Again I'd like to thank my friend Melody for helping me put finishing touches on a lot of things. YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING!!!

Best Friends :)

Another 'tradition' if you will is going out after opening night and chatting about the show, also just chatting and spending time in general.  Both friends and cast and whoever else wants to come along :)  A lot of us have known each other a long time...so it's always a fun time when we are all able to get together once again. One person in particular is Bethany...we have been friends for forever it seems like haha!  We lived across the street from each other when I was in the 5th grade!! Which was let me see......1996? Yes, I think so...we have been friends for 15 years!!! Crazy when you think about it haha...but I believe that we will always keep in contact no matter where we are...Beth and I just click. :)  So...here are some photos from last night.

Awww :)

Troy, Melody and I

Myself, Asian Brian, and I don't know Taylor hehe

Taylor, Beth and I

Well...while I get the next week off from sewing...I'll be taking measurements for Christmas Carol on Wednesday and after the move next week I'll be in full swing again. It's based around the same time period...so at least I've got a grip on what I need to be doing haha! While at the end of this show I am very tired and worn out...I'm definitely read to work on Christmas Carol as Melody is directing and it will be a blast I'm sure :) Also, it's shaping up to be 10x more organized already...so that will definitely help things along. She's been planning everything for her show for months and we've already had one meeting about costumes....we are ready to get started ha! Bring it on!!

So...while I've got all of you reading this I'm gonna put in a little bit about my upcoming Etsy account.  While it's still in progress..it's only because every time I make something...someone buys it and I don't have any inventory to put up haha! So with that in mind...ladies!! and gentleman (because Christmas is coming up)...I found this idea and low and behold I will be adding a new item...this scarf shirt :)  I got thumbs up all around last night and lots of compliments..so I will be beginning production haha! If anyone is interested..I haven't nailed down a price yet..but will soon....just contact me ;)

Well...that's all for now.

Amanda

IT'S OPENING NIGHT!!!!!

Well everyone..it's here!! I finally made it through a night of rehearsal without someone bringing me a list of things needing to be found :) and student night went very well for "Pennypacker.

Just wanted to share this picture with you first...I LOVE BRAIDING MY HAIR!!! Hehe, and I love how it makes it just the right amount of wavy and....girls, you know what I'm talking about...moving on. :)

Backing up....the last few days have been very hectic indeed lol...and I never would've made it through without the help of my wonderful friend Melody :)  Since I work 30 hours from Fri-Sun, she came on as my assistant costume designer and got a lot of stuff done over the weekend...also..she has taken over hair and makeup design because our original lady was involved in a car wreck...GET WELL SOON BRETT :) Monday rolls around and we've got two major items left to find...NO LUCK...Tuesday....NO LUCK...then low and behold Wednesday we find them and all is well.

(These next coulple pictures are for my friend Sam :) Enjoy!!!)

Last night was Student Night...essentially a Final Dress Rehearsal where we invite anyone who wants to come and watch the show for free....giving the cast a preview of what it will be like on opening night. Having been in a show before this night is particularly helpful in knowing how your cast mates are going to react...such as stuttering through lines and practically giggling through the entire thing hah!  Which can be well....distracting to say the least.  It went pretty well...just a few flubs here and there by a couple people..but overall it was a good show.

I had the pleasure of watching student night and not having to sit downstairs and sew the whole time...it was really nice to be seeing the costumes in action, just to make sure that everything was in order for tonight.  I also had the pleasure of the company of my sister Ricki :)  She also has been in a production here at UACT and wanted to show her support to her friends in the show this time around...yay!!! for team spirit hehe!!! It's always wonderful to see her and it will definitely be interesting moving in with her and our other sister Brianna...we love each other...but all of us under one roof can be very........interesting...I'll just leave it at that.  I'll let you know how it goes in a couple weeks ha!

I've been trying to get my "to do" list done but have only managed to accomplish a load of laundry which will be two when I get done with this blog and......oh yeah..that's it! GOODNESS GRACIOUS!! I need to pack lol!!  I'm getting very stressed out about being able to get out of this house on time :/ but I can't allow myself to get too stressed...otherwise I'll end up freaking out like last weekend and....well, that's just not an option. I'm doing my best here and will continue to do so, until I can do no longer ;)

Well, this week is pretty boring guys........haha.....that's about all I've got for from the last 3 days!!  I'll try and update tomorrow with some cast photos and such....and our mini-celebration after the show tonight. Haha! Melody and I are going to get our drink on!!! Yes we are!!!
DON'T GET IN OUR WAY TONIGHT ;)

Amanda

One. Day. At. A. Time.

Alright, well.....where to begin.  I posted an update early Saturday morning and feel like I've lived 3 days worth of events and information since then haha!

So...before I forget...I get home from a ten and a half hour shift on Sunday...that seems like a million hour shift because it was so slow and someone is knocking on my front door.  Why is this strange you ask? Well, I've gotten used to the fact that I hardly ever have visitors and when I do, I know they are coming. :p  There is a stranger on my front porch and she asks (in the screechiest voice I've ever heard) "Is this house for rent?"  I'm stunned....what?  Oh yeah..I'm moving...so, "yeah...in October...I'm living here until the 1st."  She says, "Oh...do you mind if I look around?"  I'm blindsided and end up accommodating her because my brother is with me..keep in mind I would never let anyone into my house without someone being there...I proceed to show her around the house rattling off my "laundry list" of things never fixed and falling apart...I'll be damned if I'm gonna give these landlords and this house a good review, HA!!  I feel as if I've done my good deed for the day...helping a stranger out...YOU DO NOT WANT TO LIVE HERE!!! TRUST ME!!  We send an email to our landlords asking them to edit their craigslist ad...please say that it's occupied until the first of next month and they throw a fit and are growing even more agitated about our request for a walk-through..we have pretty much come to terms with the fact that they are going to screw us over no matter what we do, but we are trying out damnedest not to let that happen.

Well, anyways....starting from the beginning....Saturday turns out to be a relatively slow day at work and I feel myself getting lonelier and lonelier with every passing minute and all the heavy extra cleaning I really shouldn't be doing right now with my back the way it is.  I should back up and just say it...it's really tough saying it...but I have been suffering from panic/anxiety attacks for a while now...which I'm pretty sure stems from depression. (don't worry, I'm calling my doctor tomorrow about some sort of help with it)  Now don't freak out...I'm really not that bad...or at least I wasn't...it seems as the move date approached and passed the attacks got more frequent  and harder to control.  Yesterday evening Fletcher told me that the bank is going to have him working 6 day weeks...probably for the next few months (and before you say...you can go up sometimes and see him instead of him coming to see you...know that we have tried every combination and it just isn't in the cards...i've come to terms with that now) so our plan of him coming down at least every other weekend is gone :(  I get to see my husband for maybe two days later this month and then probably not again for at least a couple months :/  Well, I got agitated...more so than even I realized...and one thing led to another and I got so worked up that I couldn't breathe and I couldn't make it stop...this went on for about an hour before I was able to get calmed down, with Fletcher's help. I've been avoiding bringing this up to the doctor because I guess I didn't want to admit that I'm having a problem...and one that I can't fix to boot. A part of me was even ashamed...that I can't control my own body....I've been reading online the last day and read that 1 out of every 10 adults has some form of depression...ranging from mild..to debilitating.  I've decided..with some discussion with Fletcher and my friend Sam that it's probably best if I talk to my doctor about getting some medication to help control these attacks...at least for the next few months because well....being apart from Fletcher is upsetting me and makes me emotional and more prone to these attacks.  I hope that none of my friends or family..or even strangers that might be reading this deal with these problems but know that if you do...I know it's hard but it helps to talk about it.  I'm finding that no one thinks any less of me because I have this problem...I've had nothing but support and that makes me feel so loved :)  Moving on..now that the serious stuff is out of the way ;)

So, after this attack...I try to get some shuteye...I take a sleeping pill thinking..yes..I need sleep.  Haha, yeah right.  I wake up sort of half remembering(wondering if I dreamed the whole thing) talking to my friend Sam on skype..but I know I didn't because she's in France and with the time change she wasn't up  before I went to bed.  So I ask her about it and sure enough....I SLEEP-SKYPED...if this isn't a work..it is  now haha!!  I have done sleep walking...sleep talking...the whole nine yards...but this is ridiculous...I guess I better start sleeping with my phone downstairs!! haha

Anways...I get up Sunday morning and head to my ten hour shift at the coffee shop and start my day with a quad-DECAF-iced americano. Doctor's order's...no caffeine :( I don't have any customers for about an hour and then the second couple that walk's in order's an Umpqua Oats Oatmeal Bowl..let just explain this real quick. The directions say...shake thoroughly...lift lid...fill with water to the fill line...replace lid and let sit for 3-4 minutes...it's always worked before.  Apparently, every oatmeal bowl I've dealt with has had a wonderful..tight sealing lid because the following picture is only half of what it looks like when you receive a bowl with a faulty lid.


It was in my hair..my ears..OMG..they seem so small on the outside but holy crap! do they somehow shrink the oatmeal and fit twice as much in? haha..I was so tired I was able to laugh about it though.  As I get "Dude!" and "Woah!" from the only two people in the shop. It was so ridiculous...so after I sweep up the mess..I make the mistake of realizing that I've gotten some oatmeal down my shirt...I try to get it out and cover the floor yet again with oatmeal..I repeat...how much oatmeal can you fit in one of those containers? Haha! And the day only gets better when I continually run out of key ingredients to items that are best sellers lol, all the while...continually dropping things and making a mess because once you start you are messed up for the whole day...the rhythm is just off.  I drop a gallon of milk...thank god it wasn't too close to me when it shot up out of the gallon as it hit the ground...and all I'm gonna say is coffee grounds can really make a mess ;)

Even after all that and coming home to possible tenants for my current house I manage to corral my brother who has been staying the past couple weekends with me..keeping me company. :)  Many of you know that my brother and I are very close...during some family troubles he came and lived with Fletcher and I.  He helped me when my back pain was in its worst last week..doing the dishes and laundry and practically ripping the grocery bags from my hands as I tried to pick up what he deemed as "too heavy for someone with a hurt back" hahahahah!!  I love my little brother so much :)  Thank you Ben for taking care of me the past week.

Then I get a call from my sister Ricki...she has decided to make dinner for myself and Ben AND she's taking him to school in the morning so I can sleep in!! I know, I know right!?! What an awesome support group I've got with these two around...I will miss them(and the rest of my family lol) when I finally move up to Portland..but until then I'm moving in with Ricki and my other sister Brianna...should be fun and interesting to say the least.  She makes one of my favorites...a recipe that my mother came up with...we affectionately call it Parmesean Chicken :) Yummm!!!

Recipe: Take 1 lb chicken, equal part of miracle whip and sour cream...enough to cover the chicken..top with shredded Parmesan cheese and bake until chicken is cooked..depends on how thick the chicken is. Serve with salad and you've got one awesome meal.  I haven't had it in forever and made me so happy!! :) Thank you soo much Ricki..you are the best!!



Last but not least, I wore one of my hair creations today to work and it put me in one heck of a crafty mood. :)  Now that all I've got is little touches here and there left to do on the costumes for Pennypacker I've got some time to work on projects that have been sitting getting dusty...some new ones that I can't share because the recipient's could be reading this right this very minute. Even in France ;) hahaha!!  I've got loads of friend and family birthdays coming up and am so excited to be creative for each and every one of them. I promised some of you an Etsy account would be coming...so my next goal is to work on some inventory to open it up...I refuse to say when it will be up because you all know me and my life and who the hell knows what will happen next. So I leave you with this :) (I know this is a really long one..thanks for bearing with me)
