better things have come along; face book, meebo, G1's. Its quite understandable how one could get distratced and let 87 weeks go by until one finaly makes a post.
So a lot has been going on. New job- Pre-K teacher, new car yeyeyayayahhhhh, new man, and a tumor. Interesting turn of events, if i do say so myself.
I lost my self for a bit, got lost in drama, and being caught up in other peoples lives.
10 year anniversary for LJ??! (i looked in the right hand corner of my screen)
CONGRATS!

so alot of things have been going on lately and i'm so busy i don't even have time to update. i was working 25 hours at starbucks and 35 hours at the daycare center i made a bunch of money, but now my boss cut my hours down to 11 for next week at starbucks. i lefter her a note and hopefully she gives me at least 20 i need the money real bad. as usual i started working at wee care and loved it in the begining and now things are starting to really piss me off about the director and owner. for example: i schedualed 2 WEEKS in advace that i wanted an early day this coming wednesday so i can plann and cook the thanksgiving dinner that i am making for the homeless shelter. and now the schedual came out and i'm working 10-#'s what THE FUCK, that means i'm probably not going to be getting out untill like quarter of 6 wich doesn't give me enought time to take the bus to hannafords, and go shopping and then go home and prepare everything that i need to. I'm really pissed and totally calling them when i get back from grocery shopping and making a point that i let them know about it 2 WEEKS ago. Its not rocket science, my co-teacher is off that day, so they should schedual me 7-3 because thats what i REQUESTED 2 WEEKS AGO! and then when i leave have one of the other teachers go into my room. BUT NO they have to make it difficult and act like no one else can cover me. if they don't let me come in early i'm going to call out and they can go fuck themselves.
Last night i worked at starbucks and it was alright, i was ravenous all day and ate everything in site, for some reason i could not control myself and i just ate it all!!! I ate a bunch of rice and beans, saldad and french fries for dinner and was still full this morning.
Nyah's (my favorite baby in my room) mommy jennifer brought me to starbucks last night, cause she is super sweet, and caring and wonderful. on the way over i mentioned how they aren't giving me enough hours at starbucks and the daycare so i might look for a 3rd job, and she said that she would love for me to babysit for nyah when she goes grocery shopping and cleaned and such. OH I WOULD JUST LOVE THAT!! I was really excited to hear that and hopefully when she gets back from florida on monday we can talk about it in more detail.
I bought a sick book that i read about in the Veg(an)News magazine www.vegnews.com as the cookbook of the year, "Vegan Cupcakes Take over the world" and its simply amazing! All of the recipes look delicious and i can't wait to bake up a storm in the kitchen this weekend. i bought alot of groceries and i'm planning on making vegan spinikopita, portobello wellington, and a veggie tempha stir fry with noodles. mmmmmm, on the menu tonight, vegan tacos, with a spinch salad and homeade guacamole, green salsa, and grilled veggies.
MMMMMMMMMMMMM can't wait

I wore cute kitten ears and a tail today to work. Only 3 hours of work today, now i'm waiting at the southboro public library for the bus to take me back to marlborough. Tom and i are suppose to hang out, but i think i'm going to get a mani+pedi package at L.A. nails on main st. I can't wear dark nail polish to work, but i'm sure i can get away with something very clear and light. I got new pics to share on myspace, and i made a new icon, too=)
All the babies wore black and orange today to school and we sang the itsy bitsy spider and callie and charlotte did the hand motions (SO CUTE!) I'm so happy to have babies back in my life, not just a couple, but 20!!! Babies make everything better, if i'm sad, i cuddle them and they make me happy, if i'm in a bad mood they coo and laugh and i know that everyhing is going to be alright.
My hours for starbucks are as followed:
Thursday 6-10
Friday 6-10
Saturday 6-10
Sunday 4-8
I was planning on going to boston this weekend to visit norelle but i don't think i'm going to be able to because of work, and i have a lunch date with fabio at 12 on sunday. I suppose i'll just have to call her and promise to come sometime next week. Bummahhhh

So far starbucks is alright. I get a free package of tea or lb. of coffe a week, plus tips. I worked 6-10 on Friday night, 3-7 on saturday and 4-10 on Sunday. Poor tom was waiting outside for me for a half hour since i had to learn how to close, and do everything really fast because the usual closer didn't even call, and didn't show up. What a dick. Ne way i get free drinks, and the people that i work with (so far) are really nice. There is a girl named alli and she is vegan too, so i gave her some stickers and we talked about our favoirte receipes and now i want to cook a bunch of things and have her try it all =)

So alot has happened since my last post.
Work is going amazingly well, the hours change but i at least get 30 hours a week. I'm falling in love with a wonderful baby named nyah and she is falling for me. We love playing together, eating lunch, and rocking in the rocking chair. These past weeks i have been doing really cute art projects with them. On monday i cut out little pumpkins and had them glue on the yellow triagle eyes and goofy tooth mouths. The younger ones , philip, rowan and dylan couldn't do them (they are only 3 months!) so i did them and hung them up on the door to our room. All the parents loved them as well.
My co-working has been slacking lately, she doesn't do the cirriculum or the daily notes, and she is like 30 years older than me, so i don't want to have to remind her to do so, but, ugh, i'm torn. My director and owner of the center are following the vegan diet(not for moral reasons tho) to loose weight and i made sheppards pie and everyone loved it! I baked two huge pans last night and brough the other pan over to tom's house while we watched the game. Tom and his parents liked it too, but i forgot to bring the mushrooms sauce, and it tasted diffrent. I've been spending a lot of time with tom and his brother mat lately, we hang out at least 5 times a week, we get along great. We use to argue a bit, but now we just smoke and drink and he lets me drive his car (obviouslly not while drinking :/ haha)
My 6 month anniversary that marks my vegan journey is november 1st. I can't wait to celebrate with a wonderful indian dinner with tom=)
I'm starting at starbucks tonight (6-10) and tomorrow i'm working 4-8. I can't wait to get a cafe mocha (can you belive the chocolate sauce is vegan!) i need some extra energy, i've been up since 6:30 :(
I'm such a trooper.
GO SOX!!!!!

tom and i went to hemp fest this afternoon after sleeping in late. i woke up at 12:30 and made a vegan tofu scramble that was delicious with tomatoes, onions, garlic, peepers, veggie crumble and spinach. to top it off i had some vegan cream cheese to put on my pumpernickel bread =]
i drove toms car into Boston and spent the entire time listen to him tell me how awful i drove, when in fact i don't think i drive that awfully, only when I'm in his car, cause he makes me nervous. we took the train from wellesley and arrived in park street at around 3 and we walked around and got some water and tom bought a grinder. it was a good deal, nicely made for only 20$ he was happy. we listened to some crappy live music and watched the hot hippie chicks walk by with their dreads and burkinstoks. (sp??)
at 4:14 we both went our separate ways and i went to Sullivan sq to meet up with kent at his appt. kent's friend just had a baby a week ago, I'll update with some of the pics he took of baby mason and i later. i changed his stinky diaper and after he graced me with some cute noises and cuddles.
Spending the night over kents tonight. we went to the liquor store and bought some booze that I'm going to to take care of later. I nice bottle of organic red wine, my favorite. Off to bed

Wow my last post was in march when i got a job as a preschool teacher. that all went to shit after i realized all the people that i was working with were posers/2faced and only interested in putting in a good word for themsleves to make them look better in my creepy bosses eyes. so whats new with brandizzle?
i've been vegan since may 26th so this month it will be my 4th. i feel healthier, i'm contributing to the "go green!" movement by not eating animals, and i've lost 20lbs:) went from 185lbs (was i really that heavy??) in the begining of the year and now i'm down to 165lbs. my goal weight is 150 by the end of the year, that should be simple enough.
i'm off birth control so i eat close to nothing, since my appititte is almost completely gone.
started a new wonderful job as an infant teacher for beautiful babies in southboro. had the day off today working less than 40 hours a week, but hey, its better than nothing, right?
the women that i work with are alright, i'm expecting some drama to go down sometime in the near future. i will brace myself for it.
my 21sth birthday was on august 8th and no one said happy birthday, and no one gave me presents, and no one threw me a party. i guess everyone is alright with that. i got over it.
my only present was probably the best present of my life the complete series of sex in the city i basically peed my pants when unwrapping it. it rocks, and i was happy with shane (the best present giver of all time) he also got me 2 tickets to the iron and wine show on the 27th. i'm going with this lovely gal i meet, norelle. she is mixed to and quite the cutie.
men are dumb, except for tom and kent. they are cool. all other men are scumbags and proceed to shit on me after i give them my heart. i hope nathan burns in hell. peice of shit.
not dating men anymore, i'm optimistic that everything will work out with the ladies.
other than that, everything is about the same. i got my ID so now i can drink, still have yet to get my licence, its going to cost me 200$ from missed appointments and taking the test over a few times. i kno w i've been saying this for close to 4 years, but i'm seriously getting a car before the winter. SERIOUSLY. even though i'm up to my eyeballs in debt and i stil haven't paid my bills. oh i suck at paying bills.
the end.

Got a new job. As a pre school teacher at a local day care center, fun fun. I start on monday, wish me luck. They are waiting for a toddler position to open up when a pregnant teacher ends up leaving. Pre school is fun but i'd rather work with younger children.
I'm on a fitness kick. Hoping to loose some weight and tone up before summer and my 21st bday! Yey! Not much else is going on. Blah.

I spent a wonderful weekend in the lovely city of Boston.
I headed out friday afternoon after running a few errands and getting some cash. I thought i was going to be -50$ in my bank account but i only ended uo being under 30. Once arriving in boston i went shopping at urban outfitters and bought a new outfit for the party i was attending that night. I bought a pair of light grey skinny stretch jeans, a grey and black striped shirt a black belt and these maroon-ish/purple addis sneakers with orange stripes. They are hot. I love shopping for sneakers. The shoes were on sale for 30$ marked down from 90$. Thats what i call a deal:) After shopping I met laura in central square for Nepailese food on pearl st. We had a lovely time. For the apatizer we got a potato pankcake that was stuffed with spinach, ginger, garlic, and fried. MMM it was so delicious, and filling. For the entree laura got some MOMO dumplings that were delicious along with some soup. Greens were my choice, spinch and asparugus. All in all it was a wonderful first date, we are making plans to see eachother again on thursday before she heads out for her work training in Atlanta and in Louisiana. After stuffing our faces we walked around central square, luckily it wasn't to cold, and ended up at the bridge over the river. The view was absoultely lovely, and incredably romantic. We said good bye at copley and went our separate ways. I arrived at Costanza's at around 8:30 after walking through the projects:/ Scotty and i took a walk to get some booze and bonded while on our little adventure:) I ended up getting 3 sparks and drank them with in an hour and a half of the party starting! LOL The party at costanza's place ened up being great! There were a shit load of people that showed up and i dance untill 12. At 12 i called nathan and told him were the party was, he showed up at 12:30 and we left shortly after that. Alot of sexiness went down. I had some other dates of the weekend, and over all the weekend was great. Heading back this thursday and stying till monday again. Taxes are coming soon:)
OH yeah

the second baby sitting interveiw went well, also. It would be great to have both jobs.
I should be getting a car soon, and paying off my debt when i get my ass in gear.
Hanging out with matt today. We talked on the phone last night, and his plan is to convince me into going out with him. I wonder how it will turn out. He is nice, and its hard for me to think of him that way, but you never know. I'm trying to keep an open mind when it comes to guys, since the guys i have been interested in lately, end up making me feel wonderful for a couple weeks, and then shitting all over me.
it sucks.
I should know by monday/tuesday if i have the morning job, and by the end of the week if i have the afternoon job.
I spent the morning looking for new music to listen to, and watched videos on youtube of iron and wine and the yeah yeah yeahs. karen o is the hotttttest white girl alive. the end.

[12 Jan 2007|09:47am] |
woke up at 8 without the assistance of a alarm clock, impressive. made some eggs, watched the news and caught the 8:40 bus to framingham. i'm at the library now, an appointment at the doctors office at 11:30 is what brought me into town.
if i had an extra 30 bucks i would have stopped over at the DMV to get my LP, since i keep missing out on a fun time with the ladies, since i am with out an ID. after the dr. appointment i'm heading back to marlborough. interview at 4pm and dinner with fabio&cintia. i hope it goes well, cross your fingers >_

| soon to be nanny |
[11 Jan 2007|06:26pm] |
I had a lovely nanny interview today at 3 for family that lives at the hillside school. they have a 2.9 year old boy named jack, and a little 1 year old girl named molly. we played together, ate sanck, and i answered a few question that the mother (heather) had for me. I have another interview for a mother helper tomorrow for a 5 month old set of twin boys. Awwwwwwww. If it works out perfectly, i will be working 8-1 with the first family and 2-5:30 with the second family. wish me luck! <3
i'm dirt broke. it sucks, the credit car company is calling, cingular is calling, everyone is calling to remind me how much i suck at paying bills. I need to get my shit together.
taxes and working full time will help with that.
hopefully

| i want this |
[01 Nov 2006|09:52pm] |
i want benjamin so badly, but i keep pushing him away, and it ends up hurting both of us. i could never ask for a more trusting/understanding/compassionate/intellectual/cultured/sexy/funny/manly man. i'd never to have thought that one day we decided to hang out, that it would turn into such a passionate experiences. probably one of the most intamite and passionate relationships i have ever been in. he is so consdierate of my feelings and i am so blocked up. i have trouble expressing my feelings to him, and then i get stressed out and push him away. its distructive and it needs to stop. its hurts him, so much. he is so sensitve and he knows when anything is wrong, its kind of a sixth sense how on the money he is about everything. and to be honest, that scares me a little. it makes me feel vunrable, but i need to realize that its ok to be a vunrable little girl, tucked into his strong arms. i have to make a concious and possibly a subconcious desicion to not fuck this one up. because if it does end up being fucked, then it will be entirely my fault. i honestly can't say anything bad about him. its weird, sometimes he makes me upset, but then he realizes it and apoligizes, and then it never happens agian. he is like a perfect man. anyway, this needs to work out, of i'm the biggest fuck up on the planet. i have been writing notes to myself, for when i get into a total bitch mood. hopefully i can mature fast enought to keep his intrest. i mean, come on, if he has put up with me for our first 2 months of the relationship, what does that tell me about him? that he cares about me deeply, that he is willing to commit, and work through things because he likes me soooooo much.
i'm so lucky.

| off to the fair! |
[24 Sep 2006|07:57pm] |
today is our 1 month together. it was nice. i've been really sensitive lately, and ben is supportive even when i get really mad at him when he talks about things i don't want him to talk about. the first month has been nice. i'm mad alot, but i think its because i'm insecure with myself. it will fade over time.
we went to the fair today after we went out for breakfast at this diner in maynard. it was alright. jakes is better. we ate yummy food and saw various farm animals and looked at crafts. it was nice.
work has been a pain. i finally got a raise. after a god damn month, fuckers. my paper that i needed to get my licence finally arrived in the mail. i just need to take time off from work to head into framingham. i missed jessi's baby shower and i felt like shit. i worked instead, made fifty bucks. then i spent it. benjamin's friend had a birthday party and it was nice. poor benjamin has been sick lately. (he needs to quit smoking). I drank nice wine and smoked for the first time in a month or so. I get really drunk and high, and ate fancy cheese and crackers. I met some of his friends and had a good time. We went back to my house and slept over. We didn't go to bed till quarter till two.
My stomach hurts i think i ate to much fried/sweet food today.
I sent in the depoist for the wonderful bed and breakfast ben and i are going to stay at in a month for our trip. We are going to go camping for a night and then stay at this charming little place in jacksonville, vt. can't wait.

[08 Sep 2006|04:27pm] |
I finished! Its amazing, i'll post pictures on tuesdays of our glorious reunion! Its going to amazing. Plan for the night/ getting out of work at 5:30 home at 6 holli is comming over to do my hair. Ben should be over at 7/730 i plan on making something delicious before he gets over (shhhh its a suprise! i told him i'm ordering pizza!) i'm planning on making something on Sunday that can reheat easily so i'm not slaving over the oven and hoping everything will work out alright. I was thinking maybe greek food. I am craving spinikopita and it re heats nicely. Stuffed grape leaves? Tabuli? Homeade hummus? perhaps. My friend courtney gave me this wonderful cook book to look at and now i am obsessed with it. the author hand wrote all the recipes and its named one of the all time top ten cookbooks by the new york times!!!!! its really cheap. i'm going to call borders to see if they have it. I might take the bus in a little.
wish me luck!
