Job hunting, Sally finds, and my hand at doll making

Hello! So i was going to have a record of three days in a row but i was really busy yesterday. I went out job hunting! I got a few leads but nothing big. NO one is hiring in this economy. Ugh.  but like i said i have a few leads. For example:

• The Giving Tree-a boutique of cute clothing and such.  That was the biggest lead. I really hit it off with the lady there.
• Natures Grace health food and deli- got an application for that.
• The Wallflower-another boutique but more on the up scale. They are hiring so maybe. I am going to drop off my application today

There is one place that i would LOVE to work, but i doubt they are hiring. It is a European cafe! Yes here in honesdale we have a European cafe. It is run by a french couple, and they serve authentic food and pastries. I had a bagel and cream cheese there yesterday with my mom (aka my driver). I ate, drank tea, and listened to french music! Very nice. I dont think i have a chance but i am going to call tomorrow.

A new store opened up in town. A consignment shop. It is GREAT!!!! I bought a wallet and my mom a shirt. Here’s a picture:

The outside of the store

The wallet i bought! it was only $9!

So, i have been a little obsessive with this blog:

She makes the cutest dolls and paintings! She was on the Martha Stewart show and showed how she made the dolls:

So i had my hand at making one:

So what do you think?It was SO easy to do and i think she turned out to be very nice!

Being that it is Wednesday, the Salvation army has Family day (everything is half price). I got a LBD (a little black dress), a pair of shorts, a  dress shirt and my prize finds:

I LOVE the blouse. Its brand new with the tags still on them! I love Sally’s.

I guess the only other news was that i got new shoes from target. I need sandles for the summer and i was looking for a specific kind. Low and behold, target came through and ta-da:

Aren’t they gorgeous!

Please ignore the very white legs ; ). I am planning on getting a killer tan on vacation. I forgot to mention vacation! My family and i are going to Assateague , Va. We are renting a beach cottage right ON the ocean and we spend a week there. I am planing on getting a ton of books ( a collection of Jules Verne to be exact), were dresses and skirts all the time and get a killer tan!

Have a great evening!

gorgeous weather and my current problem

So how Gorgeous is the weather!?! a balmy 52 degrees is not a bad shake! I hate the cold so i am happy (although it is rainy and wet out but who cares!).

Today i went to the park with my family. My dad met us over at the “central park” of Honesdale (he had boy scout leader training) and we brought snacks. My younger brothers “thing” is rollerblading. It is very good exercise and the love it. The greatest joy to them is to run through puddles and making weird alien like tracks. Ryan’s “thing” is skateboarding. He LOVES it and i must say he is getting better the more he practices.

For the past while i have been having an identity crisis. I was in a not so healthy relationship and it really messed me up. Long story short, i have no idea how to be a teenager.(i know this seems hard for some people to understand)! I don’t know what they, listen to, enjoy doing, but more importantly to me what to wear! its nerve racking! I have been learning gradually over the past few months but everything is all still new. Previously i was dressing like i was a 25 year old.  I though it was inappropriate to wear tee shirts when going out (twisted right??). So when i emerged from this way of thinking i bought some regular “teenage” cloths (jeans, tee shirts, converse sneakers, etc). But know i was thinking, i love vintage inspired clothes like this:

http://www.modcloth.com/

(These are great and i love and want everything off of them!)

So the big question:

is it wrong for me to wear these things even though i am 17? Will i be looked down on by people my own age because i wear these things? Should i not care and be myself?

*sigh*

i don’t know, maybe its all me but im troubled. I will have to really think about this.

Sorry im so depressing! I think im more contemplative. Enjoy the gorgeous weather!

the world of me!

Hi! welcome to my world! My name is Meagan and i will be 17 on Jan. 21.

I was born in Brooklyn NY on January 21,1992 to my 2 great parents Donna and Jimmy. I have 3 brothers Ryan 14, Joshua 11, and Zachary 10. They are great brothers, crazy at times, but fun.

Here are some pictures of the fam:

All of us together.

We moved to Milford Pa when i was 8, then moved 2 more times before ending up in Honesdale Pa where we are currently residing. Honesdale is a small town, with a population under 3500. We are a christian, homeschooling family, attending a great church Parker Hill in Dickson City, Pa (which is not to far from Scranton for all you Office fans).

I am planning on graduating a year early from school. I have finished all my required subjects and am planning on taking my GED sometime in February.

And know some things about me. I LOVE reading, especially classic literature. I also love children’s books and have started collecting them. I already need another book shelf! Some of my favorite books/ authors are:

• Marley and me by John Grogan (they just made this into a movie and it stuck surprisingly to the book.)
  
• Edgar Allen Poe-an amazing writer! Yes his stories are scary but i simply LOVE them!
• The Westing game- one of my most  FAVORITE children’s books ever written!
• In the year of the boar and Jackie Robinson- also one of my most favorites!
• A tale of two cities-The french revolution is my favorite time in history and this book is amazing

I could go on forever but i will stop now :D!

And now so random things about me. I Like making lists. I am addicted to notebooks and inky pens. I LOVE dark chocolate. I dont like any hot drinks except Starbucks and Dunkin donuts hot chocolate (which is sad because it is SO expensive). I have found a brand of hot chocolate at the stores that i like ‘Hershey’s dark chocolate’ made with hot milk and strained (i know im weird, but this is MY world and in MY world thats what I drink :D!). I am going to try to train myself to like hot tea because it is so good for you.

I like movies:

• Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,
• Footlose
• ,Aliens,
• Apollo 13,
• Oceans 11-13,
• Leatherheads,
• Iron Man,
• Moonstruck,
• You’ve Got Mail,
• Sleepless in Seattle
• What about Bob,
• Elizabethtown,
• It could happen to you,

Just to name a few ;D!

I enjoy doing non-spiritual yoga, pilates, and kickboxing. I am looking into colleges for next year, hopefully majoring in photography.

So now you know a little about me and what i do! Have a great day and enjoy your new year!
