I have tulips poking out of the ground in front of my house.  I dug carrots out of my raised bed garden that I figured would be composting mush.  Instead they were as firm and fresh as the ones in the grocery store.  The maple tree in the back yard looks like it's two seconds away from leafing out the buds are so fat.  Why am I the only one ( Read more... )

Goodbye, Samantha.  You were never mine to begin with, but I know you loved me a great deal, almost as much as I love you.  Now you get to keep a nice old lady company and never have to worry about loud dogs and children chasing you around the store.  I've cried a lot today, but pretty soon I'll realize that you'll be happy and that I need to be ( Read more... )

So I was called into my manager Audrea's office yesterday, along with the Asst. Manager David.  They're both standing there looking at me, and I guess my facial expression said it all because she started it off with, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."  As of yesterday, I am officially the Associate Manager of the Earl May location in Lawrence.  What ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen, this man was in the store today.  Granted we didn't have what he wanted and I didn't get to talk to him because I was on the phone with another customer but oh my God, HE WAS IN THE SAME SPHERE OF EXISTENCE!  Oh my LORD he is tall.  And skinny.  And doing a funky little mohawk thing with his hair that looks good on him.  It ( Read more... )

Here's the deal. I figured, and let me know if this is just not doable, Nick, Tanya, Craig and I meet here at the house and carpool out to the Brimer's around 11 AM, possibly meeting Paulo there or picking him up along the way. From Chez Brimer we pop onto 69 Hwy and trudge on down to the Cider Mill. Oooooooorrrrrrr, if it works better for peoples ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Paul! Gosh, you got old...

 The Reel Big Fish show was awesome.  And I say Reel Big Fish show because I really didn't care for the opening band and while Streetlight Manifesto is a tight ska band, they're not my favorite.  It could have been awesomer (I know that's not how you say it but I don't care) if I hadn't developed the migraine style headache before the show started ( Read more... )

 Holy poop on a stick.  I am watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family (yes, I'm a goody two shoes, it says so on my page) and they showed a preview of DH: Pt. 2 and ohhhhhh myyyyyy loooooord....it is going to be so freakin' fantastic.  It was the scene where Ron, Hermione and Harry come back to Hogwarts via the Room of Requirement and see ( Read more... )

Well let us see what has happened since the last time I posted.  Um, well, the entire season of Spring, to start.  I worked six days a week, got a nice raise, had a lot of respect from the other parttimers, sold a lot of my custom made containers and to top off a great season was told that Beth was handing in her resignation.  I figured things ( Read more... )

 Well, I am officially into my 30s.  And thank God I have been blessed with the Thompson/Boss genetics of always looking younger than you are because of our greasy skin.  Hated it in my teens, loving it in my thirties.  I can't say that anything is really different, my life has not drastically changed.  I still have a loving family, still have a ( Read more... )
