Wednesday 308

Very tired this morning. Went back to a complete mess yesterday. I spent most of the morning fixing the signs in the fashion department, and then went back to jewelry to take care of everything there. There was a ton of planograms that came down while I was away. I hope to take some time today and at least make sure that the spinners are at least labeled.
Lots of storms here yesterday. Matthews spring concert was postponed again. This time it was due to a power outage at the church.

Tuesday 307

Boy the week of vacation seem to fly by so very fast. I did not get done what I wanted to which was get to moms and dads to pick up the bed. There was just too many complications. With Aunt Betty dying, mom was very busy getting stuff prepared for the memorial service. Matthew was sick 3 days last week. He stayed home from school. He was bummed for that , but he said it was sort of fun as he spent a lot of time with one of his favorite people. ME! Both kids were extremely cute. We spent a ton of time in the sun once Matthw got better. I now have a nice brown glow to me. Its a good thing its not a RED glow!!! The only place that got burnt was the top of my head. It does not hurt at all just a tad itchy. Well I had better go if I wanna face the jewelry dept. after not being there for a week.

Tuesday 300

I have not been writing much these past few days. Just been taking some time and thoroughly enjoying my vacation.

Spent Saturday with Marilyn and Paula going to garage sales. Found some neat bargins. Sunday I went Corrines for dinner. Had a good time playing Life with Morgan, and Corrine made the BEST homemade wet buttitoes. Monday I was at Marilyns. I went over there to watch Emily while she took Matthew to school but he wound up getting sick. Poor little guy. Today I was over there again. Matthew still sick but not as bad. Aunt Megan worked some of her magic and helped him learned some of his fraction. His momma was getting a bit fustrated with it all.

Have nothing really planned for the rest of week. Just taking it easy. :)

Friday 296

Well its official. After 3:28pm today I will be on vacation. I need this time away from work so much right now. All the "drama" has really gotten me down. I felt bad yesterday for refusing to do something that Sunny had asked me to do, but I still have enough work to keep myself busy in the jewelry department. I will post more later , right now I have to go get ready for work.

Thursday 295

My eyelids this morning feel like little slits. I am so very tired this morning. I even slept in and skipped the biking. I am not too sure why I am so tired. I just hope I am not coming down with anything as I am on vacation after tomorrow.

Wednesday 294

American Idol last night was very good. In my opinion it is going to be Elliot being sent home tonight. Taylor did really well with all 3 songs he did. Kat was ok for 2 of them. And Elliot was just fair. We shall see tonight.

Hopefully there will not be as much drama today at work as there has been in the past. I am going to start out in fashion doing the signs, and then working my way back to jewelry as we got a lot of new stuff in yesterday that needs to be taken care of.

Tuesday 293

Had a good time with Michelle last night picking out music for her wedding. She is going to walk down the aisle to the "Cannon in D" with a piano, cello, and violin playing. That is going to sound so pretty. We chose the song that I would be the most comfortable singing, and ones that ment a lot to Michelle. I am going to talk to Mark Vogal this week to see if he would do a duet with me for the lighting of the unity candle. The only "bad" thing that happened last night is that just before we left I was putting our chairs away when I dropped one on my big toe. I was wearing my favorite open toe flat sandals so it smashed it bigtime. Started oozing blood all over the place. YUCK!!

Cont. after work .....I am so sick of working in a area that is so full of "drama". I get paid to sell jewelry not to act in some fricking soap opera which is exactly what it feels like lately. Claudia and Molly have been treating poor Shannon like DIRT. Telling her that she is retarded. Telling her that if she tells anyone she will be beaten up. I mean no one wants to work around people like that. I told Shannon that she better say something to a manager, but she was afraid because she did not want to get beat up, so I told her fine then I am going to say something. Being terrorized is a work place is unexacceptable. I did call the manager and she came over and talked with both Shannon and I. Hopefully this will take care of the situation without having to have any more DRAMA!!!!

Monday 292

Well I did it. Finally for the first time in a long time I got up this morning and did some biking. I went almost 4 miles before calling it quits to hit the shower. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe I can make it up again tomorrow morning.

Still a bit miffed at Jack for his stupid comments last night. I thought for sure he was going to be calling me last night to apologize. I do not think he had ever seen me that pissed off at him.

Sunday 291

I am so mad right now I could spit nails. How dare Jack call us "novus ordo Catholics"( that is catholic after Vatican 2) lazy? Just because I do not like the Latin mass. I get so much more out of the mass when it is said in a language I can understand. If I had to follow along in a "Parrell missell" I would not be concentrating on the mass but where we were in the missell. ARGGGGGGG and then he goes and calls me lazy!!!!!! Such a loving and Christian attitude.

Saturday 290

Ok then. My first movie review. Do not go see Silent Hill. I thought this movie was going to be scary. It was more annoying that it was scary. I mean what mother would put her child into a car and go barreling down a gated off road with just a small warning "Keep your seat belt on"? I mean my goodness. And what was the ending all about? Did she make it back to her husband? Is her daughter still "freaky" I think this was a waste of 5 bucks in my opinion.

Friday 289

Boy the weather turned nasty here. Its very cold and blowy and rainy. Good day to sit at home and curl up with a good book, but alas I need to make some money.

Hopefully tomorrow I am going to see the thriller movie Silent hill. Have a good day all.

Thursday 288

Good morning world. Up and awake this morning. MUST SLEEP!!! LOL

Wednesday 287

While at work yesterday I started having severe kidney stone pain. I made it through the day, but by the time I left I was "peeing" out blood. That means I either passed or am passing another stone. I slept fairly well. Took some pain meds before bed and I zonked out. This morning I am feeling nearly well, just a bit sore so hopefully this bout is over with.

Tuesday 286

This morning I am posting some lyrics to a song by David Haas. This song has ment a lot to me the past few weeks.

"The Lord upholds my life"

The lord upholds my life, the lord upholds my life.

The lord upholds upholds my life, the lord upholds my life.

Lord save me by your name and by your might defend my life.

Oh lord hear my prayer, listen to my words.

The lord upholds my life, the lord upholds my life.

The proud, the proud, have risen against me,

and the fierce they seek my life. They set not the lord before their lives.

They seek not the lord.

The lord upholds my life, the lord upholds my life.

Behold God is my help. The Lord sustains me

freely I will offer you my life,

I will praise your name, I will praise your name.

I will praise.

The lord upholds my life, the lord upholds my life.

Monday 285

Well another weekend has come and gone...sigh....I am so looking forward to vacation. I spent most of Saturday with Marilyn and the kids. We were shopping for birthday presents for the twins and then at the twins birthday party till almost 6pm. Then of course after that I had to go to work to set the ad for this week. Yesterday I went to mass and then spent some time with Corrine and Morgan.
Hopefully this week at work will be a bit less stressful.

Friday 282

Well they fixed my car for free. I think that's the least that they could of done. Apparently the starter wire was corroded in a different area this time.

Had a nice little chat with Chris yesterday. Kathy and I are getting very fustrated with the entire fashions area. We are supposed to be "dedicated" to our areas of fashion, me in jewelry, and Kathy in shoes. We are both being pulled to different areas constantly and we cannot get our own work done. We shall see if things change like Chris said they would. One last thing for today TGIF!

Thursday 281

Well my car broke down again last night. It is doing the same thing again as it has been doing. This really is pissing me off. I would so love to bring it to a diffrent place to try to fix it but alas I have to keep bringing it to Tuffy till they fix it right. Right now I am just sitting here waiting for Corrine to come pick me up for work. My car is at St. John Vianney waiting to be towed back to Tuffy. ARRGGGGGGG

Tuesday 279

Very busy day yesterday. I did wind up spending the entire day in jewelry. I would love to spend another day there today just so I could get everything back to the way it should be. If my "sneaky" plan works out right maybe I will.
Made my famous vodka pasta cream sauce last night. It was so good. I am bringing the leftover to work today to share with Corrine.

Monday 277

Busy weekend. I did not get much rest which I needed as I am still battling this infection. Friday after calling in sick I slept till almost 11 and then called Marilyn and she and the kids came over and picked me up some lunch. We then took off to the store to pick up all the things we needed for the Easter party. After that I got the nerve up to get my hair cut really short. Its been long for a VERY long time. I love the new style. The Easter party went very well. Everyone showed up except for Mike and we were not really expecting to see him. Mom and Dad even brought their new dog "goose". All the kids got a kick out of him, and he was so very well behaved.
This week at work is not going to be fun at all. I already saw the work list from Bernie and she wants all of us to work in the fashions dept. Right now the Jewelry dept. needs a ton of help. I think I might try and take today and inform them that I need at least 1 day to sort through everything at the counter.
