I should have known....

Wow....I shouldn't have jumped the gun last week and blogged for the mere sake of full filling requests....I should have just waited and KNOWN that I was due for a "run in"...I mean it had been a while....and what a "run in" it was...
However we have to discuss this week at work..we have two pressing matters...one I can't really deliberate on..for fear of retaliation...but lets just say...one of my employees is NOT a fan of me...like at all..smirk...this is going to make for a fascinating blog at a later date..but unfortunately i seriously cannot discuss the matter just yet as the homegirl already has a lawsuit going on against her former employer..sweet.....sooooooooooo in other news...I am going to Portland Oregon. ( where we are based out of ) ..why you ask??? ohhhh in the ironies of all ironies...there was some "store manager contest" for the month of March at work...I sincerely didn't think I would ever win and originally had never even really read the communication regarding the contest.....it was something like "the store manager in the company who is the highest percentage over plan" gets an all expense paid trip to Portland to meet with the Corporate offices...( fun...NOT )....well you gotta love LA JOLLA for having an early spring break this year....BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SO OUTOFCONTROL busy this past month...so busy in fact ..that gasp I won...once I saw that I had a legit chance of winning this so called contest about two weeks ago, i won't lie...i being Brooke took it one step further and would email the Corporate offices things such as "Cant wait to see you! Will my ticket be first class?"...so I find out today that alas I am going....I find it rather amusing that I am actually going...I am probs the most UN " insert company name" store manager they have...I mean I love my job...but have no desire to move up....in fact I just wrote that on my review..( and i wonder?! )....I like my little store on my little street with my little crazy girls....no need to mess with anything else....sooooooooooo i can hardly wait to go to Portland this month....bc we all know what happened the first time i was there for a meeting...but lets just say it involved my only ever strip club experience...
ANYWAYS, so i was due to go out this weekend...as i hadn't since St. PATRICKS day...soooo low and behold i couldn't deciede on any of the eighty million pairs of jeans I own and went with the tube dress and boots..always an easy slutty choice....soooooooooo mini and i start out a bar for a bday party..where we start singing lines from Just Friends...then Mini and I depart by our lonesomes..( why oh why is this always the case ) and attempt to get into another bar...Sooo what happens next?? The bouncer at the door gives Mary a sobriety test...yes you read that correctly....The bouncer gave mary a sobriety test...( is this a new practice or something in CA?? ) ..he had her hold up her hands to indicate a stop signal...and then say "1234 , 4321..." he made her do this twice...which obvi she couldn't do the stop signal....so much to her dismay she wasn't allowed in...not before having the line give her a hearty applause.....and mary was legit upset bc she got the 1234, 4321 correct!!!..so where do we go next?? the peanut bar obvi...
So we sit down where i start to order her water...i come back to find her eating someone elses' french fries..no literally the people before us apparently didn't finish their fries..and so mary was eating them...lol....we stay for probs about an hour and are leaving to go home.....after having a few frosty beverages in the interim...
When who is in line...none of than pat mf f of course.......so instead of going home which would probs have been best for all involved at this point.....we go back inside...and i attempt to talk to him...which he entertained for about one hot second..he didn't want anything to do with me...shocker...so then my other friend Kaytee comes to meet us at the bar and I point out pat mf f...and she being crazy Kaytee goes up to him to "make a new friend"...yah well..... i then heard her launch about what a great person i am,how 'great' i am, etc.... he mentions his gf or finance...yah thats right...Kaytee cant remember which one he said....classic...that would make sense......i mean is she the reason he avoids my incessant Saturday night calls and texts?? and better yet who is she?
so now it's really time to go...oh wait who is there? why the 23 year old of course...ugh dear god....we talked because i have the pics to prove it..about what, i'm not sure.....but i do remember throwing in something about his gf wearing crocs..............and people i had sworn to myself that i would never say that to him...whatever...
so i somehow get home...call Hoboken obvi...and while waiting for Hoboken...who do i call...why pf course..not once, not twice...but yes lucky number six times.....
This is not my life....

Wow Babe

Okay Okay so I havent blogged in over a month now...but I've been holing up by lonesome and not going out...so I don't anything to write about...okay cough cough that obvi is not the case...but the SD "run ins" have been kept to a minimum lately....soo I won't be able to bore you all with the details of those..although there are some "minor run ins"...some which include the obvi Seanie Poo Poo at the gym and PF at 7 Eleven at a "normal" hour...obvi had to jerk the car in reverse and dash out before he saw me...as i was still "recovering" from calling him 6 times and texting him 4 times just 3 days earlier...oh yah this was last week....( insert smirk )....but gotta hand it to the kid he responded during sunlight hourse with a "wow babe"...was too embarrassed to respond...um yahhhhhhhh
ANYWAYS, I decided to "blog" tonight with regard to my "one year anniversary"...what the christ is my one year anniversary?? I mean obvi i am NOT dating anyone, so there can't be any one year celebration there...however on March 27th last year , it's been "one year" since I stopped the self pity party...hahaha i would love to tell you all that I'm just kidding...but sadly I'm not....I don't know, I remember waking up one day last year and being like enough is enough....I'm done with feeling sorry for myself...so I took control of my life...and have made things happen as I would like them to...who me a "control freak" no never.....So lets discuss some important updates in the past year...
Um I am still at the same job...who would have thought?!?!?! ME?? going on a two year job anniversary..wow this will be the longest holding job that i've had since college besides club med...wow mom and dad should be so proud...and to be honest work couldn't be going better....yah yah Thank You Mini....and i've had the same assistant manager for seven months now too...but of course she sure doesn't beat out Lil Kim from Jersey who just mysteriously stopped showing up back in July...only to find out her match.com bf that she moved across country for got in a fight less than a month out here....who would have guessed that she couldn't come to work that day bc she was en route Jersey back home..( Sorry Kim i DO love you regardless ) .... I've actually learned how to properly staff my store and not have to do any work related things on my day off....and to boot for some reason the corporate offices love me...might have something to do with the old CEO no longer being here...he thought I kept a "messy store"...has the man ever seen my bedroom??
ANYWAYS.....life continues on....I even went to a doctor after cough five years...and low and behold got my very own prescription to "non-narcotic Lunesta".....FINALLY FIVE YEARS LATER....I knew I would love living in the state of CA..so when i finally go in to fill the prescription..it costs a $40 co pay for HALF the bottle...wtf...that means those little white pills are going to cost me more than $3 a pill...i better have some sweet dreams off those....oh yah and obvi all didn't go as planned the doctors....but i won't bore you with that....cough i find it amusing...and me being me will deal with that at a later point...
In other news life with Mini continues on.......( so i guess meeting mini contributes to my "better well being" in the past year" )...hahaha wherever would i be without her? ...we continue to be absurdly inappropriate and have non meaning ADD conversations. that most other people would never understand....o yah has anyone seen Just Friends with Ana Faris? You should see and hear our rendition...I'm not going to lie...her time is dwindling down here in SD...and she isn't planning on staying this summer...here are my choices...meet her in Greece for my bday or have her not go to Europe at all and stay here all summer? Most obvi i am voting to have her stay.........to be quite honest I'm not going to deal with that until June 01st...so typical Brooke...so if anyone who lives in SD is reading this meet us at Bubs...or Plum...apparently I get confused to which fine establishment I am in sometimes...but chances are we will be there most nights during the week....
On my last note I have some exciting news...I actually placed a formal offer on a condo in SD...yes that means I'm A. here to stay and have surpassed my city average of 2.5 years in the very same city..B. am an adult???....i cant further elaborate without semi freaking out ( insert Lunesta )....but I also cannot imagine mortgage payments until I am 59...literally....no sers 59.....i mean I cannot even plan out next month let alone a YEAR....so in my last ditch effort to keep Mini here...I entice her that she can live with me this summer for a mere $200 a month... I mean that amount doesn't even cover my Visa bill which I just opened an hour ago from this past month..in which every single charge was for a bar in PB....Not my life...as PF said earlier this week...WOW BABE......oh yeah and on Sunday bring on the Cadbury Cream Eggs.....i think that will be the perfect breakfast for my Stoli dinner and Hoboken pizza 3am snack...
PS. So since the 27th is technically my one year anniversary date...I assure you there will be a blog to follow....
