Tough Day and Tired

Ugh. Tough day at work. Long day at work. Then off to go trick or treat with the best kid in the world. I am going to bed early. One more day of working my ass off, then one day of walking store managers around the store for this stupid dog and pony show. I really shouldn' t talk like that. If someone from my company read that, they would probably be pissed. I am considered "one of them". But I didn't forget where I came from, nor have I forgotten what it is like to work in the stores. Our employees work their tail ends off for hardly nothing. I try my best to acknowledge all of the employees I see who work hard. It's tough, this business.

Goddess Rambling

WWE - What a waste of television time. I can't even stand to watch it. And to think that people still believe that it is real. That none of it is staged. It's drama people.

Television is getting ridiculous. I love some of those ridiculous shows. Flavor Flav' was freakin' hilarious to watch. Talk about staged for t.v.

The shows I do enjoy watching are Grey's Anatomy, The Office (Jim is a hottie), Boston Legal, Gilmore Girls, and Road Rules vs. The Real World. Yes, a wide range of television viewing. That is what makes me CRAAAAZEY!

Hehe. The weather is getting cooler. I love that. The wind was whipping into my patio doors this evening. It was kind of eerie. With Halloween tomorrow, I guess the tiniest things could be a little eerie. I don't think my kid will be trick or treating tomorrow. Oh well. I can buy all of the candy that would be missed out on. We can all rot our teeth together. My favorite candy bar is Butterfinger and my favorite hard candy are those lemon sours. Yum.

-Josh keeps asking me questions as I am typing this to all of you. He thinks that my blog is, well, let me ask him. He says that everyone is nuts. Himself included.

Cool! Flipping through the channels and we found the sport of Curling. Did you know that it has been an official sport of the Winter Olympics since 1998?

-Josh keeps asking me what I am typing about. Sign on and read like the rest of us dude!

For those of you who don't know, Josh is the guy I am dating. We both work for the same company, but have totally different jobs. He works in the stores, and I am one of those who walks the stores, looking for "opportunities". It makes for some interesting conversations sometimes.

My goodness, I have said a lot this evening. And I didn't make much sense. Oh well, I don't really care about making sense all of the time. Because every day I get to start over.

Work Sucks

Today is going to suck at work. I have to spend my whole time at one store to make sure they are doing everything they are suppose to for this big walk-thru we are having. I hate those dog and pony shows. It sucks working for a major grocery chain and having walks like this because all of the customers look at ya all crazy. I wish I could join Andrew and go for a hike today. Oh well. The walk is Thursday. Guess what happens after that? I am off for a 3-day weekend. WOOHOO!! I can't wait!

Home Cookin vs. Overrated Restaurant Food

As many of you who know me, you know that I love to cook on my days off. Well, let me tell you what's for dinner this evening. Oven fried center cut pork chops, my famous garlic mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, fried zucchini and peas. Who says you can't cook a good meal at home? It's better than going out to eat. We recently got some new restaurants on the West Side. Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, and Granite City are just a few. Too crowded, too noisy, too annoying. I would rather cook dinner at home and eat around the table with family and friends. Come on over, my online blogging friends. We can make room...

Advance To Go and Collect Your Day Off

I am off today!! WooHoo! It is gorgeous outside! I am suppose to go to a wedding tonight, but don't know if I am going to make it. Work keeps calling me. All of these stores and fellow co-workers keep calling.

I AM OFF TODAY PEOPLE!! CHECK THE SCHEDULES PLEASE!!

Anyway, I am playing board games with my family all day and watching football. It is going to be a great day!!

My brother may be getting a job in Dallas. This would be awesome. I have never been to Texas before. I really haven't been to Oklahoma either and it is only two hours away. I'm probably not missing much there. Anyway, I hear Texas is wonderful. Hope he gets it.
