1. I just spent an insane amount of time cleaning my bathroom and bedroom. Not because I was being extremely productive and thorough, but because they were that disgusting. Does anyone else wait until a room is clean before lighting a candle in it? Just me? Well that's fine. I just have this thing about not wasting a scent on a room that needs to be cleaned. It's like my little reward at the end....

2. Does anybody else not care that Beyonce had her baby this week? She bugs the be- Jesus out of me. Beyonce, not the baby. Not yet anyway. And seriously? She needed to rent out the entire wing or whatever of the hospital? You're not that important. Go put on some pants (it drives me crazy how she only ever wears leotards now.  It's stupid.)......

3. I have been very randomly super hyper at work the last few days. I spent much of Wednesday night pretending the rolled up window banners were light sabers. Also, I devised a game of popping my gum as loudly as possible when customers walk by to see if they look in. This is what happens when the last sale of the day comes in at 3:50 pm, and the store is open until 9. That's a lot of customerless time to kill, Y'all.

4. The first person to mention that maybe customers aren't coming in because of the gum popping is off my friends list. For realz. With a "z", which totally makes it more serious.

5. I'm mildly obsessed with Ninjas. Like I kind of want to be one. I even have a Ninja Handbook. It's from Urban Outfitters, but it totally counts. I love the days when I wear leggings to work, because they are very Ninja- like. Seriously. You have so much freedom of movement in leggings.

6. I also tend to use "Ninja" as a verb. As in, "I am totally going to go over there and Ninja that window display". It basically means "to make awesome".

7. It's very possible that I have had too much caffeine today.

8. My associates and I also collectively made "Hollister" a verb. As in, "I need you to Hollister that table". Which roughly translates to: turn yourself into a folding beast and straighten up that table like a rock star. I hired a new guy, and he also works at Hollister; I think he appreciated the verb usage of the name. Or he's really scared and won't ever show back up to work in my store. Which is really too bad, considering he hasn't even seen my light saber show yet....

9. I was really worried about hiring a guy to work in the store, but he's pretty awesome, and seems to fit right in. Also, he's not a stupid Hollister pig, so that helps.

10. I have inventory next week, and I'll be pretty honest here.... In between prepping both stores to get ready, and then conducting the actual inventory, I'm not making any promises about whether or not I'll be blogging. Including my participation in next week's Life's Lessons. If anyone want to guest host for me, I'd be forever in your debt..... And just think how convenient it would be to have a Ninja owe you one.....


Have a very Ninja weekend Y'all!!!!

Also, "ninja" definitely works as an adjective....

So this isn't as good as the Adele versions (because she's pretty much the ultimate....) but it's my favorite cover of this song.... I love his versions of songs, and I'm going to one of his shows in March!!!

When I had Donut I didn't get the entire floor to myself and I think my baby is just as special and wonderful as theirs. That story burns me up too. Get over yourself.

Sounds like you did have a lot of caffeine, but you made me smile. :)

I NEVER waste a candle on a dirty room....I'm OCD like that. Oh, and I haven't lit any candles since before November 14! LOL

Natalie

Whoa girl how many cups of coffee did you drink before you wrote this post! :) LOL love how you are using "Hollister" and "Ninja" as verbs!

Kim

You definitely need to think about putting together a dictionary! And Beyonce mildly irritates me too. I hadn't even heard about the birth.

Di

I couldn't care less about Beyonce's baby. And no one needs an entire floor of a hospital to themselves!
