Today was Christmas 2007, and I must admit that it went over much more smoothly and was much more enjoyable than I had initially expected. It was definitely a very different kind of holiday, in many different ways. But all in all, I am quite happy.

I came home yesterday (Monday) after finishing up some 11th hour Christmas shopping at Target. Given ( Read more... )

I'M SO HAPPY!!!  I've never been happy like this but I hate that no one can see past the facts.  And I just wanted to say that.

I'm so happy (and relieved!) right now that I could just burst. :)

Work on Saturday was hilarious, what with the "Karl and Christine Sale" and Karl's snide comments about weak handshakes and his love for Gina and me as we put away NEATLY the rugs and slipcovers in the newly beautiful rug room.  Chris and Kim - who actually spoke to me! - and I worked on moving Liz into the Nate room and we did quilts and whatnot ( Read more... )

Oh, I just feel so rotten about Jen.  Words can't really express the sense of loss I feel over hearing the heartbreaking news on Thursday.   Rosie and I cried and hugged in the pillow room, and when I finally got to see Jen tonight, she just hung her head when Gina asked me if I knew; we both looked so defeated, and all we could do was hug.  I mean ( Read more... )

Oh, how good of a day was today?  SO good!!  Alrighty, so I worked 10-4 today.  I was scheduled until 3, but a combination of A. Alicia and Andres' not showing up and B. Karl's endless love of giving me hours so I can work upstairs, and I got to stay late (plus I get to stay late tomorrow).  So I got there around 10 and it was Janet, Rosie, and Jen ( Read more... )

So yesterday and today completed my two-week tour of duty in the stock room.  Yesterday I worked 2-CL.  I'm gonna miss the leniency regarding my shifts.   On Thursday, when Jen asked if I could/wanted to come in on Friday to continue working on bath rugs, I told her that I had a dentist appt in the a.m. so I couldn't come in til the afternoon.  So ( Read more... )

Hey look, a public entry for 2007!  Although I'll admit, my recent entries, that you can't see, are much juicer reading material.  Quite tauting, I know.  But let's talk about a few noteworthy tidbits here, shall we?

So today I had a dry run for the rest ( Read more... )

Today was a lot different than the other two days.  First of all, it was Eric's day off -- it gave me a day to myself, a day to just stop mulling things over so much, a day to be less distracted and get more done.  And I most certainly did that, but I was quite grumpy for a number of reasons.

I went to Starbucks and got passion tea before I parked ( Read more... )

Why hey bitches!  I'm sorry, that's no way to start a Christmas entry.  Ok, so Christmas may be a few days away, but no point in wasting my excess of Christmas spirit.

So it's been a few days, and a lot has happened.  I'm not sure exactly where I left off, but I can tell you that I've been busy ever since I last wrote.  Our planned fun things kind ( Read more... )
