i just had the opportunity to share jesus with someone. that in and of itself is the coolest thing. the person didn't pray to receive christ at the moment, but had so many questions. i felt so unqualified to answer them all. i did give them my number and invite her to church with me on sunday. and they came back about 5 minutes later to ask me ( Read more... )

what a crazy, fast paced week i just had! it was really cool only having to work for 4 days. I can't remember the last time i've had a week like that. and i still have a lot of vacation left for the hopeful move whenever it is going to happen ( Read more... )

ever since i became a manager, my interest in merchandising has sort of been hindered. it's almost like i've completely lost any creative touch. people that know me well personally, have seen that in order for me to live somewhere, it has to become mine. i paint walls, i buy random material and furniture and i make things mine. at one point, i ( Read more... )

i found and immediately bought the cd i was wanting yesterday. after getting it home and finally having a chance to listen to it though, i thought that maybe next time i buy a new cd that i've heard a live band play, maybe i should take a moment to see if they sound the same on their cd ( Read more... )

yesterday i went out with a friend i haven't seen for awhile. i've known her for several years and it's cool cuz now she's pregnant. (seems to be a trend amongst my married friends lately) we went to get gelatto (mmmmm...) and i went to powell's books for the first time. it is really bigger than i imagined. REI and whole foods. well, ( Read more... )

i believe this is the first time in my history at christian supply that i've had more than 2 days off in a row. i decided that i NEEDED break from my store. and trust me, it was a long awaited one at that. i slept in 3 days in a row! of course, i still woke up before 11am, don't want to get my schedule all messed up for when i do need to come ( Read more... )

i like having the ability to write on here and not worry about too many people that i know reading it. not that i write anything too personal ( Read more... )

i was just thinking about how i have like at least 3 days off from work in a row! maybe i will have four. which leads me to realize i should probably make a schedule for my staff next week. i always hated that boss who never got the schedule up until the very last day... ugh, i don't want to be that person! and i'm sure they don't want me to be ( Read more... )

yesterday was such a nice break from my typical 9 hour work day. i cut out mid day and went to uncle paul's fruit stand over on hawthorne. i love that place. they get in tons of local farmers produce, almost like the farmers market, but cheaper. then i bought some fish. the fish just sounded so yummy that i went home and had fish for lunch.

as i sit and write, i am slowly being lulled to sleep by the sweet sound of my friend summer playing her guitar and singing. i believe i am starting to get old. bedtime feels like it gets here earlier and earlier each month. maybe it's the stress... all's i know is that i need more sleep now than i used to. however, my guess is that it's ( Read more... )
