I am the newest Buyer's Assistant for the largest retailer in the world. There, I've said it. It's really shocking to me every time I say it. It really doesn't even sound like my voice when I say it. There's happiness, excitement and promise in my voice when I say that sentence. It's been my dream job ever since I found out that there was a ( Read more... )

First off, I'd like to thank KFC for creating what is possibly the best comfort food in the world. When old significant others call your roommate to hang out...when you feel superfat in your palazzo pants...when Target shoppers won't stop yelling at you...Grab a mashed potato Famous Bowl. The world will go away for the two minutes it will take to ( Read more... )

Last night, I had a dream that I was dating Ashley Parker Angel (formerly of O-Town), and sadly, he was a much better date (even though he's married to someone who seems like a nice person and has to carry him a lot) than anyone I've been dating recently. The funny thing is that his wife was actually on the dates with us, and I still had a much ( Read more... )

I have had it...NO MORE Miss Nice Dixi! My heart can't take it anymore. I am so mad I could just spit. I am no one's punching bag. It hurts and I just don't have the energy to have him take his anger out on me anymore. I did nothing wrong. I will admit that I am a complicated girl. I have faults. I have insecurities. I need attention. But ( Read more... )

To say that I've had a bad day or even a bad week would be an understatement of epic proportions. I began yesterday normal enough. Feeling energized by the reality that I was off work, I popped in the Billy's Boot Camp DVD that has been busting my butt all week since I got it on Monday. Afterwards, I thought a stint in the Tanning bed would ( Read more... )

I was great once. I was everything that I thought I should be. My dad (and Tim Curry) promised me when I was little that if I could dream it, I could be it. And I think I've gotten FABULOUS at dreaming...It's the being part that scares me half to death. I've searched for inspiration at every possible avenue and come to find that you can't ( Read more... )

Hello My Kittens! Tonight I've had my first fight with my new significant other...I always hate these because afterwards I never know whether or not I still have a significant other. There's that 12 hour waiting period until you've both calmed down enough to talk about things like humans. Although I'm really unsure of what this one's about. ( Read more... )

SNOW! I dunno why, but I'm beginning to think this Winter Storm isn't nearly as bad as the one brewing inside of your Dixi. How dare anyone think that they can come in and set up residence right in the heart of Dixi? I'm so not ready for this. I don't need anyone to tell me that I'm pretty, keep me warm when it's cold out, and kiss me goodnight ( Read more... )

I'm not really so much worried about money because I actually planned all that out, and I'm fine at least for another couple of months. I'm worried about getting a job. I haven't even got a callback from places I put in applications like Pier 1, Home Depot, Hastings. I went to a place yesterday where beaded necklaces are made because they had a ( Read more... )

When I was in elementary school, I noticed very early on that some girls just have it and some don't. There were girls in my class, actually girls in every class, who had this it factor...this unmistakable quality that rendered boys speechless, sent them running to open doors, carry their lunchtrays and give them their ID bracelets. Not only did ( Read more... )
