You can't really see either top coat in the photos but oh well -__- Other than me doing a sloppy job on my right hand, I really like the way it turned out!

Some Changes
Today I resigned from my job at the Disney Store, sad day. But they just were not giving me enough hours and I couldn't do it anymore :(
I did however manage to land a job at a retail store called Shasa. It's relatively new to the US, I believe it was only in Mexico until last year or so.. They basically sell clothes + accessories similar to the style of Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Agaci, Wet Seal, etc.. It's not minimum wage, luckily, and I will be getting hours the manager said. I do not start until next Monday, though. (is it silly that I am super excited bc I can wear whatever I want and PAINT MY NAILS again!!!)
After going to the mall, Ian and I came home, while Joe went to the gym. Ian fell asleep:
and I made myself some cheesy fries + tots ^__^

Disney Store's Grand Opening was Today
Unfortunately, I do not have any photos :( I worked 11am until 7:10pm and was in the front of the store the whole time.
When I got there at 11, it was already packed. They had to set up some velvet rope barriers to control the line of people, since we were only allowed ~75 guests in the store at a time (safety/fire marshal reasons). Also, in the center of the mall, there was a stage set up where some members of Radio Disney were dancing/entertaining the crowd, and from 12 - 4pm Mickey and Minnie were there taking photos with everyone.
Around 6 the crowds died down so we were able to get rid of the 'line' that we had, and anyone could just enter the store as they pleased.
After work I bought a father's day present for my dad, hopefully I get to see him tomorrow!
It was a really, really, really good day, and it went by so fast. I had a lot of fun, and I hope every kid that came it had just as much :) I was a little bummed because I didn't get to meet Mickey or Minnie, but eh, it was still overall a great day!

New manicure 6-17-11
I'm really hoping that this new manicure I just gave myself doesn't get disapproval from the Disney Store..bc it is so cute, and really subtle!
I used my stamping plate for the first, successful, time :) The hello kitty is pretty much the only good stamp outta the plate, but hey, it was free!
You can see it a bit better in the second photo. It's just a very light nude/pink base and iridescent glitter on top, with a white HK stamp.

Lunch!
So I got up this morning around 7:45 - 8am after Joe left for work, because I couldn't fall back asleep. Decided to check what time I needed to be on the bus in order to get to work on time, 10am to my surprise, so then I hurriedly got myself and Ian ready, and told his father to meet us at the mall. Since it was a call in shift from 12 - 5, and since I was waiting at the bus stop, I called the store only to find out they didn't really need me to go in today~! ....annoyed and sorta sweaty (bc in texas it's like 90 degrees at 10:15am) I walked back into my apt. Luckily I hadn't gotten on the bus already..
Ian got picked up around noon or so, and then I finished watching the two final episodes of Kuragehime (pics above) ..I didn't really feel like cleaning yet so.. I made some lunch!
Okay, okay, I know it doesn't really -look- all that appetizing, but it tastes delicious! Today for lunch I made myself some plain noodles (help from maruchan ramen lol) tossed with some toasted sesame seeds, and chicken breast with a garlic-peanut spicy sauce. And while my nose is running a little bit, it still isn't as spicy as I wanted it to be -__-
I am just so bored at home today with Joe gone! When he was working at Forever 21 I was sort of used to it, but last week he was home every single day with me, and now I miss him.. lame..I know. I also wish I could have shared this dish with him!
Here's the recipe (even though I didn't use one....)
Sauce:
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2-1 tsp corn starch
1 tsp peanut butter
1 tbsp sriracha
2 large cloves of garlic, chopped fine
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Everything else:
1 large chicken breast
1 package ramen noodles (only used the noodles, not the flavoring)
1/2 - 1tsp toasted sesame seeds
This recipe probably would have tasted better if I had more ingredients, ideally I probably would also have added/wanted: powdered ginger, scallions, carrots, crushed peanuts, onions, and probably rice instead of noodles..but I made do!
I cooked the chicken first, then cut it up and added all the ingredients for the sauce. Noodles cooked separate, and I actually used the starchy noodle water instead of just tap water to help the corn starch thicken it up. Also, I'm used a hell of a lot more sriracha than what I stated above..I just figured that 1 tbsp was more...'normal'..
There ya go!

My one pet peeve of Disney Store..
We have to dress so plain! I can't even wear nail polish unless it is nude, or clear!! And as an obsessive nail polish hoarder, this is the worst news since finding out Pluto wasn't a planet.
I had on cute gold Milani holographic nail polish today, with one black mickey shape on each thumb today:

but when a manager at work saw them, she told me although they were cute, we weren't allowed to wear any colored nail polish.
So I just took off that polish, but instead of going clear, I put little mickey shapes in a very pale, nude color. (I know, I'm such a rebel..........)
Disney Store, North Star Mall re-opening!
Hello to all the followers I wish I had!
I have been working for Disney for a few weeks now, and more specifically, working on our new store opening up at North Star Mall. I think I've put in 30+ hours just in the past 5 days :o!
It is completely different than the other stores here (Ingram, Rivercenter) and like nothing you've ever seen before! This new Disney Store is about 85% interactive, with things like trees that change color for the different seasons, a skyline depicting some famous landmarks in San Antonio, as well as a magic mirror located inside a princess castle!
I wish I had actual photos from the store, but I haven't had a chance to take any, but here are some from other interactive Disney stores, like our new one, around the nation:

In the first photo, you'll see the renovated outer portion of the store. Second photo, the 'box office' area, better known as the cashwrap :3 And finally in the third photo, a gazebo type area that has a 'theater' for different events that are going to be hosted by the cast members, for the children (and adults' inner child~*)
Welp, there ya go folks. My little summary of the new store. And if you are wanting to attend the soft opening of Disney store, it will be tomorrow, June 8th, 2011, at 10am. The first 100 guests get a prize at the door, and there will be a special surprise for one lucky kid.
Also, this is just the soft opening, the GRAND opening is June 18th, 2011 at 10am, and at the grand opening there will be appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse!! Bring your cameras, and take as many photos you want, both days!! Mickey and Minnie will be there between 12-4 :)
(I do not, in any way, claim credit for the photos above, they were found on google, and if you own them, and want credit, I'll be more than happy to oblige.)

I guess I will start off this blog talking about how I can't wait until we have a two bedroom apartment! I can't wait to decorate a room for Ian!
Let's see..Ideally I'm going to list everything I would want in his room :>
Let's see..Ideally I'm going to list everything I would want in his room :>
This bed from US Beds is amazing~!
It's not as tall as a bunk bed, it's pretty much the perfect height to make up the bed (for an adult) and look at all that storage space! I really don't think I would need another dresser for him in the room, maybe just some shelves or cubbies for his toys. That cute lil space underneath the bed looks so fun! I know he would love it, keeping all his favorite stuffed animals down there with him :3 The only thing I would be worried about is that Ian moves around SO much when he's sleeping. He always rolls off his mattress that he has now, I would have to buy something else to block the side of the bed.
Something like this for the storage of his toys would be adorable! I would want green bins instead of blue, however. It's so cute and modern looking, and different compared to the usual cubby/cloth pull out drawers that I always see.
Probably get him a toy box just for the hell of it, as well..
Definitely would want him to have a little table with some cute, colorful chairs as well!
Well, that's all I can really find right now, I included links to the sites where I found the furniture..and if I find anything else I will definitely update this post!
I rarely post on here, because most of the things I want to talk about are private..therefore on my private blog.
