Go Giants!

Very excited about the Super Bowl last night. One of the best that I think I have ever seen. So happy Tom Brady didn't win. Maybe it's the satisfaction to know that no one is perfect. hehe

Work went well. Didn't get much done but I didn't miss anything on the stock test and I got to talk to our DM about a few things and real happy about them. The only bad thing was that I fell, my own dumb mistake, and now have a bump on my head and both my knee and ankle is swollen. What a dumbass!

Had a great weekend. Got to spend time with Sara and Adam on Friday, which was hilarious! Then spent some time with JR and Melly for a bit before hanging out with Adam for a few and then going to the Rodabaugh's. Had so much fun with the family. Watched Sweeney Todd, had quality sister bonding time, and played with my niece and nephew a lot! We celebrated Mom's birthday with a little surprise gathering, which she was really happy about, and had cake, ice cream, and presents. Then it was Super Bowl time! Yahoo!

Nothing else is really new. I'm not blonde anymore. I went back to my normal hair color. I look so weird! Not use to my hair being this dark anymore! Besides that, things are well!

Will end right now with a quote that has been one of my favorites for a long time. Have a great week!

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
~Henry David Thoreau

While watching the Super Bowl...

...I was checking out some quotes and this one made me laugh...

"Man with penis in peanut butter jar, fucking nuts"

Gotta love Confucius! hehe

Also... Tom Petty rocked!!! Very excited about this halftime show.

Go Giants!!!

All things considered....

Things are going well, minus the fire in my apartment, but I really don't want to have to relive that one again! hehe

Work is going real well for me. I got the new layout for my department. So excited! Things will be so much better once it is done. The day that happens will be one of the nicest days that I will have in a long time.

Family is doing well. Dad's surgery is March 29ish. Then we will be able to to breathe easier.

More confirmation! Sometimes I just wish that I wasn't in the position I was in just for that reason. Oh well... shit happens.

Can't wait til the Super Bowl. I think this year will be one of the first years that I will actually be watching the game for more than just the commercials. hehe I hope that Eli wins it.

So this one is going to be short, but I will leave you with the quote of the day.

" I don't want this fighter to crash. Maybe if she follows my smoke, she might take me on and chase me around in the sky."

Brrr.... It's cold inside!

Yes, when you have bad insulating in your APT you definately have to bundle up on the couch, even when the thermostat says 70. Only good thing is that I have ice-cold pop whenever I need it! hehe

Right now, the tail-end of an ice storm is hitting us and all I can think is I hope that I will be able to open my doors tomorrow. With about a quarter of an inch of ice on the car, it makes me happy I don't work until 1.

Work is going better than ever, even if all i do is work, sleep and repeat. I don't need to cook because my "moms" at work keep me well fed since they know i'm not that great of a cook. Only problem is that I've gained my weight back from all the good food! And with the Christmas season almost done, I might be able to go back on the normal schedule.

This Sunday a bunch of us from work are going to the Toledo Zoo to go see the lights that they have on display. I guess they are amazing. So, we are having food at 3, then lights about 5/6ish. Very excited to be able to go out and do something else besides work. Plus, other things are going well, just need to wait for them to pan out.

Lions dissappointed me today. 18 seconds! Come on!

Rearranged the APT. Kinda was getting bored of the old way. Can't do too much though, with it being the size it is.

I think the new neighbors upstairs have DDR or something cuz I always hear music and there is a lot of stomping. Makes me feel old. All I wanna do is take the broom to the ceiling! Argh...

Now its off to watch Disturbia. Good times!

Things are looking up...

• Got confirmation.... now we will see what happens.
• Mom and Dad are coming to visit this weekend to spend time and bring my Christmas tree. So excited to put it up.
• It officially snowed, which means the people of the great state of Ohio don't know how the hell to drive. I mean, seriously, 15 in a 50 just cuz there is a little water on the road?! Come on people!
• October Road is back on the air... Yahoo!
• Still happy I moved here. More now than ever. I don't think that will ever change.
• Enough with the lists... off to bed!

The wonders of Black Friday weekend extravaganza!

I don't think that I ever worked and hoped that it would end but never end at the same time. The 14 hr shifts, having t0 pretty much stand up at the front cold from the doors, and dealing with a few choice customers, associates and shoplifters kinda sucks. But for the most part, all of the customers were really happy and well-behaved. We didn't have a lot of complaints and the ones that did were just trying to cheat the company. Gotta love the holidays! I think the best time started today about 6 when you could tell we were all tired and wanting this weekend to end. I think the last 3 hours were the best time I have had with all of us together. I don't think that will ever happen again. I think that the best part was Michael trying to talk gangster so he "could sound hip" and then 4 black guys walk around the corner. Can we say AWKWARD?! hehe... Makes me even more glad I moved down here.

Everything else is great! Life, work, family... its all wonderful. I mean, there are always a few hiccups, but is all worth it in the long run!

I wish I could describe this day in one word...

Today was my first day "flying solo" as they call it. I had my first official close as a manager without anyone else there. Really, after a few hiccups, it wasn't too bad. Definately not as bad as I thought it would be, except for the fact that I T kept calling and asking me questions and when I tell them I don't know, call back tomorrow... don't keep asking me questions!

Other things are going well... but don't want to jinx it. We will see what happens.
This weekend going up to the cabin and spending time with mom and dad. Real excited, especially since I'll be hittin the casino saturday night, which I haven't done since a few days after my surgery.

As of right now... besides this weekend, won't be home til Christmas. Have lots on the plate the next two months, including Black Friday (Yahoo!!... yeah right!) and lots of plans with the co-workers... hehe... pictures should come with those fun trips!

Besides that, not much is new. Had a great time spending time with SA, JR, Brandon and Andrew this past time weekend, with special appearances from Nathan and Dad Bornemann. Definately worth the laundry. I sometimes forget why I love talking to Brandon and Andrew.. until we sit at my parent's house for 5 hours and laugh our asses off!

Now its off to bed... tomorrow's truck day and I gotta lotta stuff to do tomorrow before Friday comes. Yeah, definatly should have cleaned up the house a little bit instead of playing video games. (But Mom, I was on Level 5 of TMNT Tournament Fighter! I can't stop now!! hehe) Have a good one!
