[EDIT] I’ve added 2 new tutorials: How to convert a site to PHP and How to add a link in Wordpress. I’ve also added a new texture (the last one on the page). Enjoy!

So, as you’ve probably noticed by now, I put up a new layout! It features the lovely Blake Lively from Gossip Girl (I’ve actually never watched that show, but it looks good!). I really like the colors, it like total opposite from the last several layouts! Let me know what you think (constructive criticism is welcomed…also, if the text size is too small, let me know…. I’m still not sure about it…).

I’m sorry I’ve been kind of AWOL these last few days. My parents shut off my internet connection on our network. They weren’t going to turn it back on until I cleaned my room and bathroom. So I finally got my lazy self around to doing it (one day was spent not doing it purposely to spite them… I’m so evil…). And here I am, haha!

So I finally started my job as the jewelry ambassador! My first day went really well, considering I received no training. But I didn’t really need any… I’ve been at that store for 15 months, and I’ve sold jewelry before at another store, so I pretty much knew what I was doing. I ended up selling a Swiss Army watch, a Marc Jacobs watch, a Juicy Couture watch, 2 DKNY watches, and a bunch of Lois Hill and Crislu jewelry… and I almost sold a Movado watch! Woohoo, I rock! It was so much fun, and way more relaxing than working in customer service.

So yesterday I finally spent the day with my best friend. She was in New York for 2 1/2 months visiting her grandma, and finally came back a few weeks ago, but since then went on 2 more family trips to Disneyland and Mexico, so this was really the first time we really had time to hang out. We went to this new mall out in Gilbert called the San Tan Village. It’s really a pretty mall, and is an “outdoor” mall, so like they have streets and sidewalks, and all the shops are along the streets, rather than being in one giant building like a normal mall. Hence the name “Village”, haha! We didn’t stay long, though, because it was really hot yesterday. Granted, they had the mist systems on outside, but it still wasn’t much relief. We first decided to get a little snack in the food court. We split a pita wrap from this little Greek stand… it was soooo good! I also ordered a large soda, but the guy seriously gave me a small’s worth of soda, and a large’s worth of ice. I was so disappointed. I was going to say something, considering the drink was like $4, but since I paid for the whole meal, I just had my friend pay me back by buying me a smoothie at the smoothie stand (we have no boundaries when it comes to food, lol!)…. so we walked around some more, and ended up in Dillard’s. Since yesterday was my mom’s birthday, I had to get her something, so I got her this cute pair of earrings from Dillard’s. We then walked around the mall some more, and saw a sign for a frozen yogurt place. When we walked inside, I was in heaven…. the walls were hot pink, and they had clear furniture, and jars of gumballs as decorations. It was the cutest place I’ve ever seen! My friend then proceeds to order a small chocolate yogurt. The guy hands her the cup, and my friend goes “wow, so is your chocolate pink?” The guy accidentally gave her strawberry instead of chocolate. I just looked at her, stunned. I couldn’t believe she said that… out loud! So I was like “geez, sarcasm!” That’s when she realized what she had just said, and apologized. We then proceeded to have a good laugh over it, haha! Gotta love moments like that with friends!

We then left the mall, and I went over her house for dinner. It was the first time I have ever tried cous-cous (sp?), but it was actually really good! We then hung out and proceeded to talk and gossip, and read random news stories on the internet and look up random facts about different countries (we’re dorks….), but it was nice hanging out with her again, I’ve missed that.

Poll Question:

So what are some funny moments/quotes you’ve had with your best friends?

UPDATES: new tutorials coming soon. I’ve been tweaking the site’s coding a little bit, so if you notice things have been a little quirky around here, sorry. Just trying to make it look more organized. I hope I’m not making things worse, though, because the site seems to be loading a little slower… I’ll try and figure it out.

And quick question… does anyone know if Blogger clashes with the Safari web browser? Because I use Safari, and the other day I tried bookmarking two blogs on Blogger, and they saved, but then like 2 seconds later, they disappeared from my Bookmarks, which is sad because they were nice blogs to read, and I can’t remember the url’s. Oh well :(

So onto my blog…

I just found out yesterday via my local news and my brother, also my local news lol (he’s a news producer), that NFL legend John Elway’s son will be a freshman quarterback for my university’s football team this school year. How cool is that?!? So then I got to thinking of all the famous people that have come out of Arizona. Arizona has long been looked over for its stars, because most of us just flock to Los Angeles if we want stardom (it’s only a 7 hour drive, and about an hour flight from Phoenix). But we really have produced some big names, so I’ve compiled a lit of all those I can think of:

  • Jordin Sparks (American Idol season 6 winner)
  • Brooke White (American Idol season 7 runner-up)
  • David Hernandez (American Idol season 7 runner up)
  • Tyler Hoechlin (Martin from 7th Heaven… he went to my university also, and was in my best friend’s English class!)
  • Michelle Branch
  • Barry Bonds (yep… that walking steroid went to my university also)
  • Jimmy Eat World
  • Linda Ronstadt
  • Linda McCartney (Paul McCartney’s (of The Beatles) late wife… they owned a ranch in Tucson, which Paul still owns and visits)
  • John McCain (2008 Republican presidential nominee)
  • David Hasselhoff’s daughter (she’s going to be a freshman at my university)
  • Jenna Jameson (the famous adult film star… her son also went to my university, and actually lived in my dorm, in the room directly below mine…)
  • Alice Cooper

Hmmm… that’s all I can think of for right now….

Poll question:

What famous people have emerged from your state/country?
