Got a Sweet Toothe for Online Shopping?

This morning I was listening to NPR on the way to work (afterall, Kidd Kraddick doesn't air on Saturdays) when I heard about this really cool clothing store in Boston. You see, I'm a sucker for appealing ads and clever advertising tricks, so this shop was right up my alley--Johnny Cupcakes. You might have already heard of this store and if you haven't just click the link above to visit their website.

Johnny Cupcakes looks like a bakery on the outside. Bakery shelves and jars are seen through the windows, but once you go inside you soon find out that it isn't a cupcake store. Shirts are folded in baking pans and the cashiers are wearing aprons. Various paintings are hung on the wall feauturing the famous cupcake. The Statue of Liberty is holding a cupcake instead of a torch...Marlyn Monroe has a tiny cupcake by her mouth instead of a mole, etc. The layout is really cute and people visit most of time thinking they are going to endulge in some sweet cupcakes. The shirts are neat too...rather expensive for just shirts, but Johnny purposely limits the amount sold.

If you go to their site and click on the "shop" tab you will see all the stuff they sell. Again, really cool shirts..a little expensive. BUT, another thing I like is how they arrange the models for that page. My fave is the baseball t-shirt model with cupcake icing for those little marks under his eyes...very creative. Oh, and I like the hippo shirt the best. :)

Man,..now I'm really hungry.

A Pain

School is just around the corner and I'm really not that excited anymore. I suppose I'd be more excited if I knew exactly what my "normal" week looks like. So far all I know is that I'm going to school and working. I have no idea when I'm working because the schedule hasn't even been made yet therefore I have no idea what I will be doing in my spare time. Will I work all Tuesday or Thursday when I don't have class? Who knows! Right now trying to get a schedule made for me at work is a pain.

On the other hand I am eager to see my friends that don't spend all summer in Nac! It is really weird thinking that school starts in about a week and I don't have to move. I won't have any suitemates. :( AND it won't be as easy for friends to just drop on by my room in between classes. Of course people don't have marker boards on their apartment doors, so I won't go home and have funny messages to read. This year will be wayyyyy different for me...

Hopefully better in some ways though. We'll see.

Recap

As I was walking around the apartment in my fuzzy gorilla slippers I remembered that it was time for my monthly post. I now have my very own apartment with high speed internet and I STILL don't blog! In fact, I get on the internet several times in one day so it isn't like I am too lazy to open my laptop. That reminds me! Here is my *new* favorite website. Shinyshiny.tv reviews all the latest high-tech gadgets that is some way or the other geared towards women. I am addicted to it and it has officially made it to my bloglines.

Life at the Nacogdoches Medical Center is the same. I still enjoy my job and am getting the hang of it more and more. :) I think the doctors are starting to get used to me as well.

A lot of stuff is going on in my family so please keep my parents and younger brother in your prayers. Speaking of brothers...my older brother Jan (pronounced "yawn") came in for a visit last week before moving to Fort Hood. All summer I have been blessed to see my two nieces and they have truly been a joy to hang out with. Unfortunately I was only able to see my brother once so we really didn't get a chance to talk. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to visit him some time without all the people around. Here's some pics of my nieces:

Meet Katarina (left) and Sashia.

THE most positive people I know. Last summer when they stayed in my room they'd wake up and no matter what the weather was they'd say, "Oh what a beautiful morning!"

So that is it for now...I have to be at work in the morning. Hopefully I'll take the time to do this again before the month is over with. Until then........
