Just wanted to remind everyone that I am planning to be gone until late Thursday night. I will try my best to catch up on every one's blog while I am gone. However, I am not making any promises.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week. You have all become very special people to me. I never thought I would be so close to people I could meet online. Well, good night...

Full Day Of Getting Nothing Done
Okay, so the day consisted of me pretty much doing nothing. Well, actually I didn't get anything accomplished. I started the day taking my kid to school. He has a social studies test coming up on Wednesday. He is struggling a bit in that class. I then went on to a store in one of the small towns which is pretty much hooked on to ours. I took a conference call there and walked the store. I then headed to our future marketplace store. I went in to see all of the changes that have happened so far. The store manager talked to me and wanted me to come back with one of the directors to go over some construction moves. It's going to get ugly in there.
I ate lunch in my car, which consisted of a chicken dinner. By the time I got to my next store, I was ready for a nap. But, no. I went in and talked to the store manager about promoting his deli second to a deli manager in one of our other stores down the street. The girl gladly accepted the position, which I figured she would. She said the money would come in handy.
I came home for "lunch". Actually, I came home to kill some time. After about an hour, I headed over to the west side and picked up some product from one store and took it to another small store located in a smaller town close by. I got a call from the director (deli/bakery) and had to head back to the remodel store. We walked the store with the same manager and I told them I had to get out of there.
I had to go back to the west side to pick up my dry cleaning for my trip this week. Total miles on my car today - 112. yep, it sucks.
Tomorrow will consist of a dull, dry, boring meeting with the pres and vps. Every zone will be there with all DMs and zone specialists and the department directors will be there as well.
can't wait.
can you sense my enthusiasm?
booooooring...

Lunch Break
Hey you guys! Yesterday was a blast. I spent the whole time with my kid. We had a wonderful day of mom and son time. Loved it. I was pretty tired when I got home so I didn't have time to post anything. I am on a lunch break right now so this one will be held short.
I am leaving Wednesday morning for my business trip. I will try and post while I am away, but will try and read up on everyone else first. I promise to get pictures of where I am, even though it is all for work. Catch you all later this evening...

I Need A Favor, Please.
Well, thanks to all that posted a comment. I need a favor though. If you have a chance to do so, stop by the Frumpy Professor and send some words of encouragement his way. He is one of my favorites and I feel so bad knowing that he is hurting. You can get to his blog through the link on the right hand side. I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!
On to other news, I finished cleaning my apartment today. WooHoo! I am done!
Also, I am having to go to Columbus, Ohio for business on January 31 thru February 2. We are going through some training up there for our bistro which will be featured in one of our new stores. I am also going to Seattle, Washington on February 6 thru February 8. We are sending our chefs to training and we have to attend part of that training. I dread the flying part of all this. I get sick on the planes. I have never thrown up, but I do get that dizzy head feeling. What I also dislike is sitting next to someone who falls asleep and puts there head on your seat. If I haven't told you guys yet, I do not like it when someone is that close. I'm a slight germ-a-phobe. Can't help it. If you went through all of the food safety classes I have been through, you would understand why. Ugh!
I am excited to go to Seattle though. I have never been to the west coast before. The farthest west I have been is Las Vegas. I am ecstatic! It's going to be a great experience for me. One of the VPs up there used to be a deli director for our division. I remember her when I was an hourly associate working in one of our stores. We hit it off great. Perhaps she will remember me. I would love to see her again. Hopefully I will get the chance.
Okay, so the post is a little bit longer tonight. Again, if you could stop by the blog I noted above, I would really appreciate it. You guys are so great with leaving such wonderful comments on my blog, I think that Pipe would enjoy some new readers as well. I know that Andrew from 4th Avenue Blues would agree with me. Thanks again people!

Blog Addict - Yes, I Need Help
Got two miles in today. The Y has a lot of cool free exercise activities that I am thinking about joining. Of course, one must have time for all of those extra curricular activities. We shall see.
I have been reading up on everyone. There are a total of 25 blogs that I read daily. Thank goodness not everyone posts daily or I would be in some serious trouble. Of course, there are some I am addicted to. It's like drinking a cup of coffee each morning or reading the newspaper every day. Some people just can't get through their day without it. Know what I mean?
Maybe I am an addict. What do you think?
