   I finally have the whole weekend off!  Well I did!  What is left of it anyways.... :-(  It was a nice weekend though.  Again I am at my parents house using their computer.  I finally got my wireless card today so I can have the internet at home with my rommate Jessica who I am not sure has bought the wireless box on her part.  I know she will.  She is very nice and reliable.  Maybe I will just gently remind her tonight??? ^__~  I started reading "Bridget Jones's Diary" today by the author Helen Fielding.  Very good so far.  I have only read one chapter so far but I am really into it.  Any girl can relate to the character Bridget you know.  ;-)  I plan on reading some more in a while outside on my parents patio sipping a drink and enjoying the beautiful spring-like weather we are finally having now.  I mean it was snowing hard here on May 1st!  It was cold on Friday May 2nd too.  I better enjoy this weather.  Colorado is so weird sometimes. O__o 
    Yesterday was a fun Saturday.  Like I said it was one of the 1st Saturdays I have had off in about a month.  I went and did a little shopping.  I first went to the bookstore and looked around a while but did not buy anything.  I next went to the mall and went to Victoria's Secret and looked at all their lotions and perfumes which were on sale.  They were like 6 items for $30 or 3 items for $24 so I bought 5 items in the scent "Romantic Wish" which smells a little like watermelon to me and then a bottle of their new "Dewy Peach" lotion for my sister who is notorious for liking anything related to peaches.  ^__~ I took a bath last night and tried out all my new stuff.  The body wash, body scrub, lotion, and body mist all in the same scent!  I felt like royalty.  I then watched the movie "Meet the Fockers" with Jessica and then got sleepy and went to bed at about 10:30.  I listened to my ipod a little before actually falling asleep at like midnight.  We were both babysitting one of her friends huge lab dog last night along with her lab too.  They were barking and making a lot of noise so it was hard to fall asleep a little.  I do not know how Jessica did it because both of the huge male dogs were in her room!!!!!  O___o   I woke up at 9am sharp today and starting reading my book and went to look around in the store Kohls.  I am now at my parents home!  Phew!  That seemed like a lot to type up!  Hee Hee.    
    I am listening to the song "All I Want is to Feel This Way" by "Toad the Wet Sprocket" now.  It is a ood song, but the band or whatever's name is really well "weird".  The song is from the mid 90's or so.  A really good song.  Here, I will insert it so you can hear it too!  I plan on having another Bridget Jones movie trilogy marathon tonight.  I am going to have lunch here at my parents and hang out for a while and then head back home with is only a 6 minute drive from here.  :-)  Work tomorrow!  :-(  Oh well.  I will try not to think of it now.  It is only 1:40pm so I still have half a day of play still!  :-)

    Good news!  I found out that the movie I was talking about in my previous post "The Other Boleyn Girl" comes out

this coming Friday, February 29th!  So excited!  I like these kind of historical movies with the great costumes the actors/actresses get to wear.  I really like those big, colorful, and elaborate dresses of the era.  I bet they were a real pain to wear though!  I read somewhere a while ago that the ladies of the southern plantations dresses around the Civil War could weigh up to 25 pounds!  Yikes!
    As to music.  I really like this song called "Cyclone" by Baby Bash.  It has a catchy beat to it and makes you want to get up and dance!  My friend Crystal told me about this video/song she found on Youtube of "Cyclone" which sounds like the chipmunks are singing it.  I like the chipmunks and "Cyclone" so I looked it up and listened to it.  It is so funny!  You can obviously tweak a song on your computer to make it sound like the chipmunks real easily, but I thought it sounded so funny just listening to it anyways. :-)  Here is the video.  It is more funny if you have heard the original song too by Baby Bash. ^__~
    Tomorrow is my last day at my part time job!  :-)  :-(  I work from 7:30am - 2:30pm.  My co-workers then have a meeting at 6:30pm after they close and then I am going to meet everyone at a bar/restaurant near the bank for dinner and fun.  I will really miss them.  As I said before though, I am looking forward to my new job too.  I am going to orientation for it this Monday at 8am.  Afterward I am going to drive back to the branch and speak with Stefany, my new branch manager, and fill out some paperwork. Change isn't always good, but things have changed a lot for me lately and they all have been definately good changes.  :-)
   

    It is really hard to title your first entry.  What do you call it?  "My First Entry?"  Just kidding...  I will take this time to talk about who I am and what I like, what I hope for and some things I dislike.  First of all I am so happy to say that I finally have a full-time job which I have been looking for since this past November.  My new job is at another bank where I will be a "Universal Banker".  It is a title which means I will be mainly responsible for opening accounts and going out into the world to bring back more accounts to our bank.  I may be working on the teller line every now and then but the account openings are going to be my main concern and duty.  I am currently working my last two weeks at my current job which is at another bank.  I am/was only a part time employee there and desperately needed full time employment.  Not only for more hours but for the benefits as well.  I am 21 and my insurance runs out this August when I turn 22 under my parents, and it is so important to have health, dental, vision insurance etc.  I will receive all that when I start work at my new job at the new bank.  I hope to start "training" this Monday for it. The branch will also only be 1 mile from my home instead of the 13 miles to my old part time job. :-) That will be nice.  I will not have to be scared driving to work in the snow too much anymore and not to mention what I will save on gas!  My last day at my part time job is this Saturday.  I am excited about starting a a new job but also sad to leave my old one.  All my co-workers are wonderful people and we were a great team.  I hope to stay in touch with some of them after I leave.
    One of my co-workers/managers named Crystal and I hung out for a short while this past Saturday.  We went to get

our eyebrows waxed.  Mine which I had been growing out since last November to be re-shaped turned out well.  Yesterday though, I noticed that there were a bunch of red bumps which might even be pimples >_<  above each of my brows where the lady at the salon waxed.  I texted Crystal to see if this was normal.  She has had her brows waxed before and I thought maybe she would know and she called me and told me her brows had the same bumps above them!  She said it had happened once or twice to her before and she was thinking maybe the wax the girls used on us was a bit too hot!  It is kind of ironic both of us would break out at the same time.  I thought maybe I was just having an allergic reaction or something.  Oh well.  It was fun and I bet the bumps will go away after a few days.  My brows look great and I can maybe just cover the bumps up with some makeup when I go to work tomorrow.  :-)
    This past Christmas I received my first ipod from my parents.  I have been listening to it like crazy the past few weeks.  I put a bunch of music on it like songs by Blue October, Trisha Yearwood, Fergie, Chris Brown, Belinda Carlisle, Rihanna, Linkin Park etc to name a few on a wide variety. I have been playing the song "The Calling" by Blue October over and over again.  I don't think it is extremely popular (could be wrong) but I really do love this song!  I also saw an old movie from about 1997 I think on TV several days ago that I had forgotten all about. I remembered liking it and it is called Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.  I cought the last 45 minutes of the movie and the next day I went out and bought it for about $12 on DVD and have watched it several times since then.  I also have been really enjoying the movies Stardust and Amazing Grace.  Amazing Grace stars one of my favorite actors Ioan Gruffudd.  Not only is he a good actor, but he is incredibly dreamy!  I first saw him in the A&E series Horatio Hornblower where he plays an 18th century British navy/sailor.  You may also have seen him in the movie Fantastic 4 and as Lancelot in King Arthur.  My other favorite actors include Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana.  Ok, I'll throw in my favorite actresses too; Renee Zellwegar, Anne Hathaway and Nicole Kidman. 
    So I just spilled on my favorite music and movies.  I could talk about these two things for a long while but I was forced to stop myself.  I like some books too and are excited to say that I actually have read one book before they decided to turn it into a movie.  It is called "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory.  The movie based from this book should be coming to theaters soon and is going to star Eric Bana (Yay!), Scarlet Johansen and Natalie Portman.  It should be really good.  I have not seen it obviously yet, but think they have chosen good actresses/actors to portray the characters in the historical, lusty, and extremely good book!  Will deffinately be going to see this film.
    So now I have officially written my first entry here on Vox.  I just thought of my title for this entry and already typed it in.  It is kind of silly but so is my personality.................    ^__~
