Today I did nothing. Which isn’t much different from any other day. Just most days I work a little.

My parents are coming to town tomorrow evening so I did start picking up the house a little. I will do most of it tomorrow. Gosh, I really have nothing to say…. Ooo, it’s close enough to friday so I’ll do the friday five. Well, I’ll have to do last weeks cuz the new ones aren’t up yet. Hush.

Really, I love my job.

So today I woke up around 11:30am. Lovely, I know. Last night as I was trying to fall asleep (this was around 3am) I thought that since I didn’t have anything to do today until 6pm that maybe I should exercise. Well, I can tell you that that didn’t happen today. Why am I so lazy?

I did, however, type up a shiny new About page so if you have like 5 hours why don’t you take a read? It’s really good, I promise *cross fingers behind back*. And Emma, let me know if anything is wrong in there since you know everything about me already. Love you!

I went to work at 6pm and had a grand ol’ time. I always do. But today, I was different. Sometimes I do get in these moods where I really hate people. Not all people really, just stupid, inconsiderate ones. Most of the time I am really really good at hiding it tho. I have to be because I am around these types almost every minute at work. If you ever come in to see me at work you will never notice this. I will even joke around with said people while I am waiting on them hand and foot. For example, Monday I was checking these two girls out (not like “checking” out but you know, at the register, me ringing in there items, them paying me…ugh, shut up) and after telling one girl her total she did this and I swear to God I’m not telling a tall tale: She reached up from the bottom of her shirt into her BRA!!!! and pulled out her wade o’ cash. Oh.No.She.Didn’t. Yes. Ok, these girls did look incomprehensibly skanky when they came into the store buy really? I thought only prostitutes did that. Oh….ok. But anyway, after I witnessed that I just pretended that I hadn’t and took her cash and life went on. Well, until they left the store. Then I went around to every associate in the store and told them what happen. Oh yes, only after I flooded my hands in sanitizer. But today, nope, if had happened to me today I wouldn’t have even taken the money from the girl. Seriously, I was in that kind of mood. So needless to say, it wasn’t a very good idea to have me on the only open cash register this evening. I didn’t blow up on anyone or anything public like that, I kept it all inside. Which is almost worse because I’m sure everyone thought I was some bitch who thought I was too good for that place or the people, or worse they thought I was weird mute girl. Oh yea, AND I had to stay late and help people clean because they can’t do it themselves.

Really, I love my job.



my day

I love summer for so many reasons. I would like to take this time to tell you about a day in the life of…me

On a regular day I wake up oh, whenever I want to. Usually I don’t have anything to do in the morning so I just sleep until I wake up on my own. Like I have said before, it’s not a great habit to get into but it’s nice to do it for two months out of the year. And when I have a real job and kids, I won’t be able to do it, so there. Once I am actually awake (sometimes my empty stomach wakes me up, I eat some cereal, but then go back to sleep) I will do around the house, do around the internet, but won’t actually get ready for my day until and hour or so before I have to “do” something. On most days, it’s work that I have to get ready for. Today, for instance, I had to be at work at noon (aren’t you jealous?). So I got in the shower at 11am. I worked until 4pm (again, aren’t you jealous?) and then came home. I did around the house again, and yet again, I did around the internet.

Now, when I say “do around the house”, that includes taking care of the dogs, cleaning something in the house or just the whole house, doing bills, cooking…you know, house-wife-y things. Also, when I say “do around the internet” I mean that I do my computer routine: check hotmail, online banking, my MSU email, facebook, gmail, and then a spend a while on my website. And my website includes more than just mine. I visit everyone on my blogroll (in order, yes I’m OCD) and comment like the comment whore that I am, and then I will blog on mine. Sometimes I don’t get to that last part because life interrupts.

When Neil came home from work (God bless him, He works 6 days a week, 8 hours a day (I love you baby!!!)) he sat down at his computer and did his computer thing but shortly into that declared that he was hungry. Whoops. I had forgotten the time and hadn’t made anything for dinner yet. This usually happens. And we usually go out to eat somewhere very yummy but also very cheap. Then we will come home and go back to doing our own thing. Other nights we might watch whatever came in on our Netflix. He goes to sleep around 11:30pm and I…well, as you see I am still up writing this at midnight. I will probably go to sleep in another hour or so because, remember, I don’t have anything to wake up for in the morning!
