Tie 129

My sister gave me this tie last night. I like it because it is pink and shiny! Other than that things are pretty normal. Today is my second to last day of work and it is going fabulous. I don't have to take an inventory class, I don't have to worry if I am getting fired or care too much about what other do or say; I just have to do my job. I help out and try to make the four hours that I am there go smooth. Sadly I won't be learning anymore chinese but that's okay. I can just go to China. However, people want me to bake a lot of junk and I want to bake and I am feeling stress from all the pressure. Oh and I want to make them hats so I'll have to find time to do all of this. Anyway, hope you have a good day. Much love, K

Tie 128

This fabulous tie comes from a very good friend of mine called Ayla Jane. She is super cool and lives in Buffalo, like all good people, lol. Anyway, today is the last tie I have unless tomorrow someone gives me more, which I doubt. No one else has asked for my address and I don't plan to see anyone new well tonight maybe, we'll see. It's been great! I really did enjoy not wearing the same tie in a row. I kinda feel like a celebrity because you know they never get caught wearing something twice, or maybe I just don't notice. SO yea, have a good Monday. I plan to, no matter what I shall rejoice! Much love, K

Tie 127

This is the last tie in the DT Collection. I had a great day at church today. Baked some goods for my class. Didn't quite participate as much but it was okay, basically she just wanted us to be prepared. Got it! And then the sermon was awesome. I got a believe God attitude. He has shown me what I good things he has in stored for me and I believe it! I am excited for this last week of work. I shall not let others attitudes and actions effect mine. I will be the best cashier I can be and leave that place smiling and happy to have had a fabulous seven months and three weeks there. Much love, K

Tie 126

DT Collection: I am super tired right now but will try and make this short quick and simple. My best friend is leaving for school tomorrow. My sister and grandma are heading to South Carolina right now. I miss my Buffalo friends and Refugees. I like pink and cats and the smell of clean rain and the landscape after it snows. I like poetry, reading novels and brushing Beansy's hair. These are a few of my favorite things. Much love, K

Tie 125

Another tie from DT. Today I baked some cookies, cake and bread. It was very fun and also make some chicken parmesan and pasta alfredo for dinner. It was all good until my bodyguard lost her wallet. What a sucky end to a perfect day. We did see Gantz number two which I am happy to have seen. Left some unanswered questions but was good nonetheless. Also we saw my favorite movie The Holiday. Loved it so much. Minus the fact that Cameron Diaz probably got paid more money than Kate Winslet for that movie but w/e. She did do more acting but still, Kate is the much better actress or rather I just like her more. Anywho, hope to have a good day at work tomorrow/today. Much love, K

Tie 124

DT Collection: I just keep getting more and more ties. I got another tie in the mail yesterday. Love it! I also baked two types of cookies and a batch of brownies and then come to find out that the lady didn't want that, she just wanted cake. So now I have to make cake but now she also wants what I already made, well she wont be getting the came amount. Not for five dollars a piece. She can have one container of cake and that's it. Anyway, this whole thing just makes me think that I shouldn't start a bakery I would not be able to price things well. This is why I give out things for free. Anywho, One more week of work and then I'm out of there! Life seems so much brighter, so many more possibilities than being stuck in retail. I think I'll write some love letters. Much love, K

Tie 123

So this is what I look like this morning, lol. Took me forever and a day to get dressed. This is another tie from DT. I liked it very much until I felt it and it's not that great but I still like the design. Today I go to work, again but it's wednesday so it's all good. Then I shall bake and try to work on the hats I wanna make for people and then that's it! Much love, K

Tie 122

Hey ya'll! Another tie from the DT Collection. Yea, I know it's in plastic. I don't wanna take it out. It's like new and never been wore. I don't want to ruin it. Anywho, finally told my manager I'm leaving. Now ppl wanna talk to me, that's nice. So glad to be leaving. They were gonna make me come in at 7am on a sunday and I live an hour away. ABC Family has this very nice show called Jane by Design, I hope they don't screw it up and make it all drama filled like they did with The Secret Life of an American Teenager. I liked that show too then it went all crazy. I also like the show with the deaf people. ASL seems like a good language to learn. Much love, K

Tie 121

DT Collection: You're probably wondering when this is gonna end but I have absolutely no clue and that kinda scares me. I am beginning to run out of space in my closet and then where will my ties be. Oh man, I just had a mean craving for apple pie. I think I'ma see if Aldi's has any. I went there today and spent 89 cents on bread, such a great deal. And I got some chocolate chips and brownie mix. I have to bake soon. Oh and I put in for my last day of work so we shall see what happens after that. Other than that things are going okay which means something about to go wrong. I better stay prayed up. Recently I have been regretting my conversations with certain people, mainly guys and then I think they would never wanna talk to me again but then they do. And they call me cute, which I don't like. Dogs and babies are cute. I am not cute. I am eccentric and fabulous. Anyway, it just baffles me. I have nothing more to say but thank goodness the UPS store was open today. Much love, K

Tie 120

Hey guess what?! I got a bag of ties today. Aren't you so lucky! I got a bag from one of the deacons at my church, Deacon Tony Taylor. He always said he'd give me some ties but would always forget but now I have it. I wonder if he saw my facebook or someone reminded him just in time so I could continue this blog. Oh well, whatever the reason I am highly grateful. These ties are fabulous and I can't wait to wear them. Today was a fabulous day and I hope its just the beginning of a fabulous week. Much love, K

Tie 119

Yesterday while visiting my fellow workers of Century 21 I bought myself a tie. One that was bright because it is very ugly out and cold. It is a Bugatti tie and it was on sale :D Century 21 is having lots of sales so if you need stuff, go buy it now. I kinda miss having another tie to wear. I know I have plenty but nothing new. It was kinda exciting wearing a new one everyday, but I can't continue that. I'd be poor, lol. Have a very blessed day. Much love, K

Tie 118!

PB Collection: Hey we made it! Thanks for traveling through out this adventure with me. I has been fabulous and very stressful. I hope you all enjoyed it and that you start something of your own and share that as well. I have shared with you my love of ties and my life. My ties are pretty much my life. All the wonderful people in my life have given me ties and have added much personality to my collection. Now I'm off to get fingerprinted. Much love, K

Tie 117

PB Collection: So I got the tutoring job. Thanks to all who prayed and to my heavenly father. I do not know how all this will play out but I know that God has something marvelous in stored for me. Today I had a good day with some good friend of mine at work. They just all happen to be Asian. They make me feel so wonderful and special and are teaching me so much Chinese like this. 你好嗎？,你媽好, 媽你好. There was a very good joke that went along with it but I don't think I can explain it well unless you know Chinese. So laugh if you understand and if you don't just smile and nod. Other than that I felt like I could really be myself at work today, such a very glorious day it was today, even if the sun wasn't shinning. I so was. I hope others were shinning as well. Much love, K

Tie 116

PB Collection: Today is a day that the Lord has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it. His faithful love endures forever. Two more days and we are done for a while. Today was a very eventful day. So my sister decided upon herself to go and take a check and sign it and try to cash it. Big mistake! the bank called and I didn't know what to do besides not give her the money so I told them that. I was a little scared about what would happen next, whether she would storm back here angry or what. Both came home and were so quiet like nothing happened. I don't think anything will change unless my sister gets the right punishment for her crimes. I feel like the next time she tries something she just might get away with it. Sometimes I wonder what the Lord has in stored for her because right now I don't see anything besides jail. But luckily my ways are not His ways and that He knows much more than I do. So I will trust in Him and lean not onto my own understanding. Much love, K

Tie 115

PB Collection: So this is it. This is the last week. I'll be done with all the ties I have, no more secret bags hiding anywhere. They will all be hung up on my tie rack for all to see, if they come over. My day was okay. I bought play-doh to work to keep me busy and to entertain others. I had my favorite supervisors and the day went very smooth. I don't like it when the people in suits came though, they always bug me. Oh and I did feel like I was in one of those movies where the black guy/girl acts all crazy because of some "racial profiling". Well that's how the guest I had was acting. I don't even know why they were checking the prices of his clothes, they all looked okay to me. And they got cursed out, not me. Oh and the supervisor I don't like, she got told off too. I know it's bad but I kinda enjoyed it. He said all the things I couldn't say to her when she had a stink attitude or did something mean. But I know I'd never do that, but he did. I'm glad nothing got too bad though. I kinda wasn't even there mentally. Like it was someone else all this was happening to. Still kinda feels like a dream. It was probably very serious but I didn't see as that. I saw it at as the guy saw it, maybe not racially based but there was definitely a reason they did all that work and I don't know why. I guess I'll never know. that's how retail works. Much love, K

Tie 114

PB Collection: I'm super duper tired right now. But I gotta keep going. I have to go to work and come back and do only God knows what. I shall take today one step at a time and make the most of the time I have. I shall love lots and smile often. Wish me luck, Much love, K

Tie 113

PB Collection: This is Johnny. He's taking a pic of the tie for me. Isn't he purrty. Yea he's taken so sucks to be you. Anyway, work sucked majorly, well it was okay until the end. Oh and people got fired, like mad people. I'm very thankful that I was not one. I don't think I would have liked it very much. However, I am sick and tired of being told what to do by people who think they know everything. I know I need some humility but I don't think I'll get it when someone is barking orders at people and they are not the one in charge. And that was just at work. I also got it from church. So right now, I'm just waiting it out so I can leave my job and I will no longer be singing in my church choir until I can mature a little more. I think I need to be more in the Word. Study some more and actually live my life like I believe what the bible says. Yup, that's the plan for this and every year after. Much love, K

Tie 112

PB Collection: So I stayed up until two in the morning baking cookies for my co-workers. I don't know why I do these things. I just hope they like it and don't complain. Even if they do, there are plenty of people who would enjoy my cookies. So today I have a longer shift at work. I don't want any drama, I don't want to have to worry I just want to do my job for these last three weeks. So yea, I will have to leave my job, it wont work anymore. I think I'll be sad after a while since I kinda don't have many friends here in NYC so I guess I'll have to find some somewhere else. Any ideas? Much love, K

Tie 111

PB Collection: So today's interview went alright. I had to take a test but first of all I did research on the company and found out that I would have to go to people's houses. That's a bit scary. I do not want to go to some ghetto with gangs and thugs and possibly get shot, raped or my organs stolen. I don't mind helping children out but in a safe environment. Anywho, so I get to the place and I see a whole bunch of other people there. I have never done a group interview before so it was really hard to let my personality shine. I was just the little black girl in between a big black man and a guy from New Mexico with dreds. I'm sure I was highly forgettable. But yea, we had to take a test and then answer questions about how we would teach something and how would handle certain situations. I work well under pressure so I was fine with all that. It was just the whole part about being remembered that worried me the most. But if God wants me to have this job, I'll get it. If not, who knows, maybe I'll get something else more fabulous. Anywho, hope you're have a fabulous weekend. Much love, K

Tie 110

Man these ties are going by. Luckily I'm down to my last bag and all from Pastor Bill. So today was another sucky day at work. I was short ten cents but that's okie I guess. I also bought some more yarn. It's so hard to knit and crochet when there are so many books to read but I guess I have to give up reading for a while, so I can make these blankets, scarves and hats. So that's what I shall do. Pray for my interview tomorrow! Much love, K

Tie 109

PB Collection: I really don't want to go to work today, nothing against work. Work is fun, most days. It's just that it's so far away. I just want to stay in bed, maybe, not really. I think I want something more than going to work and coming home. I want to help someone, reach the lost, do something good. I don't think being a cashier at Century 21 is doing anyone any good besides the company and even I suck at that. But I'm glad I haven't been over or short on my till. I'm trying to work on that, so when I leave they can't say I didn't begin to do well, lol. Anyway, I also wanna go to Strand and Book Off, to sell some books. Why do I enjoy reading so much, it's crazy. Or maybe I just like to collect them. I have tons of books that I haven't read but I still want more. I don't know. Oh well. Off to work, Much love, K

Tie 108

PB Collection: Feels like I'm leaving Eden. Going to school to see about some Financial Aid. I just wish some rich person would just pay for my schooling. That would be one less thing to worry about. Oh well. Gonna make some moves. Oh I went book shopping last night, so fabulous! I'm excited to start reading again, but I have to finish up these blankets. Did I ever tell you blankets take forever, that's why I like scarves and hats. I can whip those up in a train ride. Oh well, have a very blessed day. Let your light so shine that others may see and glorify your father in heaven. Much love, K

Tie 107

I forgot to mention that the last tie as well as this one is from the PB collection. Now on to another topic. I got burned making Bread. It sucks very much but besides that everyone loved it. I don't know what it is but it seems that when I make things people seem to love it. Even things I don't like. Like brownies and cake. Oh well. I hope I can continue to bless people with my baked goods and hand made crafts. Much love, K

Tie 106

So it's a New Year. I slept right through it, and want to continue to but sadly I have to work and go to school. Yesterday I did not go to church, I stayed home and did absolutely nothing. Oh wait, no 305 came over. We watched Gantz and then she permed my hair and then we ate and watched Sanctuary which I am in the mood of watching again. Such a good show. Much love, K
