Good morning.
I am sitting here trying to wake up. My kid is anxiously waiting to get to camp, probably to show off his new swimming goggles - thank you Target - $11.99 Speedo.
My eyes don't want to wake up. I am not looking forward to working today. We have to take pictures of some of my peeps in the new store today. Glamour shots for advertising. The pastry chef, the four chefs in the bistro, and the cheese shop guy will all be having their photos taken. Woo hoo.
I guess I better get to it. Even though tonight is my late night, I am sure I will be expected to be at the store this morning. Here's to a 12 hour day.

Working
I enrolled the kid into 7th grade today. He has informed me that he wouldn't mind trying out for cross country. I think he would be good at it. He's a natural athlete. The only thing, he is a competitor and it is hard for him to lose. He hates losing. I can see him running just so he doesn't get beat. That is the name of the game, right?
Work didn't suck so bad today. I went by the market place store and checked in. I had department schedules to turn in for grand opening week. That took some time. I hate deadlines in the office.
Wonder what my friend Meloncutter is up to in his store? I can only hope he has a great merchandiser. Melon is a produce manager for the company that shall not be named. It's funny. We can both bitch about work.
Right now I am enjoying chocolate chip ice cream in a glass with some milk added to it. Yummy! We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight. It was okay. I got the seafood alfredo. I don't care for their salad. The dressing is overbearing.
Well, I am off to catch up with all of you. Hope you had a great day.

My Stupid Mouth
Andrew from 4th Avenue Blues presented something yesterday that got me thinking. He was talking about falling in love with your best friend. That happened to me once. The song My Stupid Mouth by John Mayer reminds me of this guy. He always disliked it when people would ramble about stuff and not just get to the point. He always wanted the conversation to have some sort of meaning or purpose. He always had problems "shooting the shit".
Anyway, the song is on my sidebar. Give it a listen. It's kind of funny. John sings about not being able to say the right things to a girl. This is how my best friend was with girls as well. Maybe that is why he was always so quiet. Follow along with the words.
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.

It's Almost Over
Well, it is almost over. What a great weekend. Spent ample quality time with the kid, got to see my mom, dad, sister, and nephew. We saw two movies this weekend, went to the farmer's market, and just had time to relax. Aaaaahh!
I am heading back to work tomorrow. It is going to be balls to the walls till our grand opening on August 26. Don't worry though, I'll be around.

Have A Happy Day
Well, I woke up early on purpose. I wanted to cheer Phelan on from A Homesteading Neophyte. She stayed up for 24 hours to raise money for Farm Aid. I was only able to donate $50, but every little bit counts. You still have time to check out her blog and make your own donation. Please do so if you can. Any amount will be great!
We are getting ready to leave for my mom's house. I will tune in as soon as I get home this evening. It was great to be able to post so many times this weekend. I feel like I am back in the groove again. Got the mojo back.
