So, I got a nudge from 10dimensions regarding the fact that I haven't posted in 21 weeks. Seeing that was about the second week of May I'm kind of amazed at what all has happened since then. At that time I had just moved into my hipster chic house in the Cooper-Young neighborhood and was working a rather odd job selling bridal jewelery. Since ( Read more... )

Getting everything packed to go for the shortest vacation in the world. Hey, ya gotta take what you can get. A VERY abbreviated show in Dallas should be the exhausting mind ride that I've been needing. August seems so very very far away right now. I'll be in New Orleans for a week then and come September another week vacation in Chicago. If I ( Read more... )

I love the lies that start out talking about what a "rare talent" I have and how "needed" I am, or better yet how I'm "going places in the company." Why are they lies? Well, lemme see. 'Cuz I've heard them before and the promotion never arrives as promised. It's more depressing on days when I'm pulling a twelve and using my time to do the job ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm sick. Really really sick. Now part of how I'm feeling this morning is my fault and part of it would have happened anyway considering my condition. After work I went out to the movies because I kinda miss seeing my sweetie outside of a bleary eyed good-morning peck. The movie was Silent Hill. If I hated all of you I'd say "Oh my gawd ( Read more... )

I started to sound like my grandfather the other day. There was a point in my life, after all the crazy ass shit I'd done, (and sometimes still indulge in), I figured there wasn't anything my future children could do that would really shock me or cause fits of disapproval. There is one thing though. Should any of them come home with a "grill" I' ( Read more... )

Just finished the moving process this weekend. All of the furniture and organized boxes that I packed were taken care of one weekend and the next we primed the walls of the old house and cleaned everything up in the hopes that the deposit will be returned in a timely manner ( Read more... )

Lucky me. My gift this year is pneumonia. WHOO HOO!

No, seriously. The doc gave me some hydrocodone syrup and I'm working today. Tomorrow, god only knows.

The day of the funeral I started to get a little scratchy in the throat. I got the flu. Here I am five days later feeling the worst of it and having worked through each and every day. Today I have an eight hour shift, (a blessing considering yesterday was ten and a half.) Tomorrow I'm off work and it's Randy's birthday. I wish he didn't have ( Read more... )

My grandfather died last night.

I started my new job last week. I'm official a shop girl. Retail. Bridal Jewelry. Whitehall. And I rock. So far the only person I haven't out-sold is my manager. The wench made a $15,000 sale on my day off last week. Randy started his new job today. Compassure, or something like that. It's another job to put miles on the new car. Oh yeah ( Read more... )
