It's been a few days. I can honestly say I have not been keeping it very classy. All I have been doing is working and working and sleeping and sleeping. The other night Raymer, Ashley, Nicki and I went to Chammps. It was different scenery so it was nice. I was craving a french martini, the bartender didn't know how to make it. So I went with a cosmopolitan. We each just had a drink and decided to leave. Ashley had the BMW, it was nice out, we all needed to destress so her, i and raymer just jumped in the car put the top down and listened to some music while aimlessly driving. It was one of the most stress reducing 30 minutes I've had in a long time. I really needed it. Now I'm getting back to normal. Spending my nights working on the book, drinking wine and listening to music. I love that I don't need to party anymore to have a good time. I love that I have been taking pride in my work. I love that I have options.

I haven't seen him in a very long time. I refer to him as Iced Venti Dirty Soy Chai. Even though I know his real name. Whenever he does come in, I get nervous like I've never gotten nervous before. It's really gross actually. It's a crush in the truest form of the word. 

I found my Steve Madden studded sandals today. This is a very good thing. Those shoes were a staple in wardrobe last summer.

On the Road again.

Look at me People! I'm a comic book character! Dan I stole this from you, but I needed to do it. 

My friend Dan from Starbucks is also an illustrator and writes a comic called Beardo. I suggest you check it out at www.myspace.com/beardocomics while there contact Dan about purchasing a book.

A boring day of class

Probably a bad idea. I'm going to see a friend for his birthday. What's wrong with that you ask? Nothing. I just know it's not a great idea. I do want to see him and wish him a happy birthday and give him the nice little present I got him.

Classy tip of the day:
When you call your insurance lady and you have to pay your car insurance knowing full well it's a week late. Just be really nice to her and she'll waive the late fee. I have a motto, that being nice really pays off. Those people who are rude to me at work get decaf alot, and a not so great latte. But those that are nice I might throw a free shot of espresso in there, give your kids a free cup of milk, or just all in all be nice to you. I do the same to people who are "working" for me. 

 Today is a not so great day for blogging. I have some idea stirring up in my head and I'll share them later.

Class comes and goes

How did I keep it classy today? I did not. Let me tell you. I started work at 4:30 a.m. I was a mess. My body just kept crashing, I felt nauseous, tired, achy and crabby. I got through my 8 hour day with out an ounce of grace. After I left work I literally just sat in my car and cried. It wasn't busy, nothing terrible happened it just wasn't fun. It was one of those days that made me wonder if this is what I really want to do. I got home, took my after work shower, after work nap, and after work do nothing attitude. It was lazy. I have not been to the gym in days, maybe over a week. I have been eating crap constantly. I'm constituting it to PMS. That's what a girl blames all her bad days on. However, after my no good day I told myself that everyone is entitled to bad days at work. I'm one to not agree with the "entitlement" attitude. No one is entitled to anything, but I just thought this once I would let myself feel like I was owed something. It felt good.

The classy hearts aflutter

It's inevitable that  I will eventually get myself wrapped up in something that I shouldn't. I find myself thinking about you when I probably shouldn't. That's not exactly a classy thing to do, ya know? I mean a classy girl keeps her cool and plays the game well. I do not know how to play the game at all. Instead I just tense up and give into things I really shouldn't. So what does one do in this situation? Guys and girls alike who can't keep their cool when "the one" is around just act like nothing is going on. Even though inside their heart flutters like a nervous butterfly. Then when we leave you we think about the next time we're going to be able to see you again.

Todays installment:
Midday naps. All these early mornings have got me needing more and more sleep. So I shower and curl up on the couch for a little mid-day nap. An hour or so is all I need. It makes me feel refreshed. I know you don't think that's classy but if I don't I become a crabby monster. That's not classy at all. To make it even a little classier I like to put on a little sunscreen and my ipod and curl up on my hammock in the backyard. This way i get a little sun and a little relaxation the sun kissed me feels so much happier than winterized me.

Where this classy bit came from

I will save the story for another day, probably one where it's 3a.m,  I know I have readers, and I'm pretty damn drunk. Let's just say for now if you decided to keep your pearls on you will forever be brazened with the trademark slogan "Keepin it Classy."

It started back in my ISU days, I've heard the slogan has stuck around. I don't claim to be the one to start it completely but I know I started it around that campus.  (Look at me gloating) Anways, I wanted to find a way to start writing again every day. So why not start an actual blog with actual meaning. Not like livejournal or myspace or facebook. But one where I'm going to blog about how I find one way to keep it classy every single day. Or how I find others keeping it classy.  This may evolve into something more later, but for now we're going to keep it simple.

Todays installment:
I work for Starbucks, most of you who read this will probably know that by now.  Well while working for Starbucks one gets pretty good at functioning on 2 hours of sleep. Last night/this morning was no exception. After an awful night of sleep I peeled myself out of bed and into the bathroom to wash my face and I noticed the bags under my eyes have gone a little insane. What does a girl do? Well Benefit De-puffing eye gel has pretty much been my life saver. Every morning I dab a little bit of that under my eyes and within minutes I don't look as much like Winona Ryder in Beatlejuice. It's even a good alternative to putting make up on at 3:30 a.m. A little bit of that and maybe some mascara and I'm ok to go. I don't look good, but I can pass for living.

Keep it Classy
