I haven't always been a huge fan of boots in my life. To be honest it's rare that I actually like a set of boots. So when I found these hunter boots, I was surprised. Some of them are extremely cute!

I love the color of the Hunter Festival 2010 Short Wellington Boots. Them in the color ink are my favorite. They almost remind me of a pair of Tripp pants my roommate wanted. If he was a girl, I'd likely get these ones for him. However, I don't see him wearing this color.

What's cool about these boots are, not only do them come in many colors. Not only are them cute and stylish. They offer free worldwide shipping! Yes, FREE! What's better then that? So what are you waiting for? Go buy some hunter wellington boots now! I did!

The Wellington boot, also known as rubber-boots, wellies, topboots, gumboots, barnboots, muckboots or rainboots are a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. It was worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot then became a fashionable style emulated by the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.

Wellington boots are waterproof and are most often made from Rubber or PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) a halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers. They are generally just below knee-high. The "Wellington" in contemporary society is a very common and necessary safety or hygiene shoe for vastly diverse industrial settings: for heavy industry with an integrated reinforced toe; protection from mud and grime in mines, chemical spills in chemical plants to highest standard hygiene requirements from food processing plants, operating theatres and state-of-the-art dust-free clean rooms for electronics manufacture.

So about anyone who's already has had their 21st birthday remembers what happen. Those who haven't had it yet are dreaming of what they are going to do. Most people hit every bar possible and get drunk off their butt. They wake up with a hangover and hopefully don't have anything important to do the next day.

My 21st birthday was different. I worked all night. I got a vistor from my ass of an ex. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed when I got home. My life majorly sucked. Two days later my mom came and took me to the local casino. It was my late birthday gift. My roommate & I were both given $20 and went off to the slots. Out of the 3 of us I was the only one with any luck. I was enjoying myself, I got a free drink at the bar and I had fun. I left the casino with less then the $20. But I didn't lose it all.

The lights and sounds of a casino. You could almost call it magically. However, not everyone enjoys casinos. Maybe you don't deal with people well. Maybe it's too loud or bright. Is it fair to not be able to try your luck at winning just because you can't stand the casino? No. So how can you still test your luck? I'll tell you.

Just go to Online Casinos Planet, and all your prayers will be answered. They have links to online casino flash games. They also have all the information you could possibly need about online casinos.

But what about those who like casinos, you ask? Well Online Casino Planet will help you find casinos all over the world. From the US to Austria, to Denmark to Sweden. They even list casinos for Hong Kong!

I come back injured, oh how it hurts.

So I haven't updated in forever.. so this may get long. Affies there's a note to you at the bottom. Now let's get started..

So I went down to visit Steven Sept 17th. The flights down there were okay. One was delayed but I lived. I was so nervous and excited flying down there. I got window seat both flights down there too. I wasn't going to, but my seatmate let me have the window the 2nd flight because he figured I'd enjoy it more. The air wasn't working right on our 2nd flight, and the flight attendent made all sorts of jokes. I like him, I think his name was Mitchell.

Anyway, I went down there and had an okay time. I couldn't really cuddle with Steven because of his dad.. and I felt a little like an outsider.. but I lived. And guess what?

Steven flew back with me the 26th. So he now lives here. So he's part of the reason I never update. Another part is tons of homework and just plain work.

Speaking of work I hate it. If you read my past entries you know I work in the Deli. Well, I've hated the job forever.. and I really hate it now. Nov 15th was just your normal Deli day. I started at 11 am, and around 1:20pm I was helping cover a lunch. I was putting our Tuscan Chickens in their boxes.. when a man came up to the meat counter. My fellow co-worker wasn't really doing much.. but she didn't go help him.

So I went to help him. Semi angry that I once again had to go help people so they wouldn't have to wait forever, and angry that it was time for my break. He had 9 2-3 pound turkeys. I started slicing them, and notice how wet my gloves were getting. So I started changing gloves between 3 of them. I was on my 9th turkey... almost done with it.. and the next thing I know I feel pain, pull back my hand. And OMG, part of my thumb is gone. I barely remember it. I remember knowing I had sliced part of it... And the next thing I knew Kim in bakery came over. She told me to keep pressure on it, and went to call management. I'm in shock, I'm crying. Managment comes takes me to the ER. I get no meds, and the doctor puts gluet on my finger to stop the bleeding. Now to wait for it to heal.. it hurts. But I finally have pain meds.. and since I can't get a glove on.. I don't have to work the counter in Deli. They want me to.. our new deli manager is claiming I'm lazy. But I just can't work it and don't want to. I can't wait to transfer to a new store & department.

I'm sorry about not updating. My life is boring. I love web-design, but it's so hard to find time to do anything. Affies, you can decided to remove me if you wish. I'm not a good affie and I know it. Just tell me if you wish to remove me. Also, anyone have an idea for a new layout? Perhaps if I work on one, I can get some feeling to actually update this site. Thanks all for reading.

OMGZ! Is it alive?!

Okay so it has been forever and a half since I last updated. It's extremely odd that I never can find the time to update this, yet alone get online. I really don't understand how people can work all the time and still find time to have a life. Because, I honestly can not find the time. I'm lucky to be able to get sleep and work.

Speaking of work. As everyone, (or some) knew I worked at The Garden Center at Wal-Mart. Well it was a seasonal job, and our manager Patty told us only a few of us would get to stay. Well, I ended up not being one, even I wanted to more then a lot of us. One had to stay because he transfered in, even tho he hates the department and Patty really didn't want to have to keep him. Another basically said they would leave if they didn't get to stay. And since they had been with Wal-Mart along time they got to stay. Another there was no doubt in my mind they would get to stay. Afterall, Patty always was 'surprised' at everything he could do. Mainly because unlike any of the others of us, she taught him everything.

Patty told me right after saying she couldn't keep me that they wanted to send me up front to be a cashier or a people greeter. She then told me she needed to know which I wanted to do right then. I said people greeter because I HATE running a register up front. Well, after she left I thought about it.. and decided I didn't want to be a people greeter for my hours and pay would be cut. So I wrote her a note saying how funny I found it that they offered me the two jobs in the store they know I HATE.. And how giving me about 5 seconds to decide between them was like a spat in the face. I then told her of all the shit I had to put up with, and how I worked my ass off and it never seemed like she noticed or cared. I told her she could fire me, but that I could no longer keep it all inside me. Since I had been forever for fear of not getting to stay back there.

Well needless to say, I didn't get fired. For Patty understood I was just upset. Patty then talked to higher up managers to find somewhere else for me to go that I would enjoy more. She told the General Side Co-Manager that I was about to be a college student and needed more money. He then went to the Grocery Co-Manager and worked his tail off to try getting me over there. So the asst Manager Jason bugged me nonstop for a few weeks about going to Deli. Said I'd make more money and get the same amount of hours.

So I headed to Deli and went up only 50 cents... which sucks because everyone in Deli makes more then me. =( But still it's more money. However, what pisses me off is, I was told before I decided to come over here that if I did I'd be full time still. I was even told in my job offer I would be full-time. They have me down as part time. I wasn't going to say anything, for I figured I'd keep getting 3 days off a week and it would be nice to be able to do school work. However, now they are screwing me over by just cutting off an hour or two off each day. Which I know from garden center is just as crappy as working the whole day. So I'm going to say something and hopefully get bumped up to full time.

Let's see, oh yes the 27th I start classes towards my web-design major. For this semester I'm taking online classes & only 4 of them. Including PreCalc, History of Rock & Roll, Speech & Intro to Business. Then come December I am moving to a different town to attend actual classes. I already hate pre-calc for it costs more then the others due to being more credits.. not to mention the book cost more then any except my business book.

In other news, I got a new phone. It's the same kind as my other, and not new, but new to me. I kind of forgot to take my phone out of my pocket when I went to the lake.. so it drowned.

This is all for now... sorry for the lack of updates & comments to everyones site!

Never work at Wal-Mart Deli, it's too painful and not worth anything you might get. The pay suck, the customers suck and the co-workers are usually lazy.
