wow! i have some amazing friends and family. last night (wednesday) after church justin was going to take me to his apartment to have supper (so i thought) he wanted to show me what he had done at the house all day so we went by there first. about a minute after arriving there, there was pounding at the door. to my COMPLETE surprise it was jennifer, heather, and tabitha yelling “surprise!”. my own surprise party 🙂 a day early hehe. justin’s parents even came. it was a byot (bring your own table) deal for them hehe j/k they brought justin’s kitchen table and chairs with them too. we had pizza and cake and i got awesome presents too! the funniest thing about the night was jennifer’s choice of clothing. she had never been to see justin’s house til last night and she wore a neon green shirt and black pants. needless to say she blended in perfectly in justin’s office. i’m sure he will have a pic online to show you soon. thanks guys for an amazing night! you are the best!

something’s fishy ;)
something sure smells fishy lately hehe. fish have been dying left and right around here. first my beloved lazzi, then poor diver, now justin’s beta dazzle. it seems justin’s cat must have been listening when justin mentioned wanting rid of dazzle because…well….this fish didn’t die a natural death 😉 they say things happen in threes so i guess justin’s other fish have a chance at surviving 🙂
in another unrelated topic…..if you were $80,000 where would you hide? It’s finally book inventory time and it seems we are missing a lot…..now i know $80,000 worth of books didn’t just walk out of here. in my opinion it’s either the deadbooks we sent to africa or a problem with the merge from a/s 400 to banner. we shall see i guess…..surprisingly i’m not stressin cuz i know i did all i needed to do and my counts are as accurate as they could be (considering we ended up counting 5 times last week).
Oh well ….everybody have a great day 🙂
frustrated
ok so weeks ago wayne and i sat down and planned out a date for book inventory. it was later than i really wanted it to be but i decided to get over it. that date was supposed to be on monday this week. I had everything counted and ready. then wayne was no where to be found on monday. so i thought…ok tuesday….guess not..then he told me wednesday or thursday and actually said “you know i’m pushing you off right?” so me being in the “wonderful” mood i’ve been in lately just sucked it up. now, this morning (thursday) he tells me it wont be til next week! This will mean that i’ve counted the blasted books 4 times! and will have to again next week. why do i always have to be pushed off for last? this puts me sooo far behind with spring books. oh well i guess i better go shake it off.

Today has actually been an exciting day at work. I’ve become a terrible neat freak since starting my textbook manager position here in May. i can’t stand clutter around here and it seems there’s ALWAYS clutter. i work so hard to clean one room and someone will come along and trash it. but that’s ok cuz it’s given me plenty to do lately. this morning the overnite truck dropped off two new 500 lb. shirt displays. how many physical plant guys would you expect it takes to unload these things. 6! i guess they heard that there was a free hat in it for them and jumped on over. now, if only we could get that response when there is a leak in a dorm or any other need 😉 anyway….they are really big and really cool displays. you will have to come check them out. we have added some color in the store as far as shirts go and have gotten shirts made for women!!!
i brought lunch to justin today at work. mmmm arbys! hehe i must say i’m in a much better mood today 🙂 and only 30 more minutes to go til freedom!
what am i doing?
ok…so i’m sitting here thinking “what am i doing?” i see all these people around me who have so many gifts and so many things to offer. each one having his/her own dreams to pursue. then there’s me. i guess i never really took the time to dream. i got to thinking and i have no idea what i’d like to do with my life. none at all. i wish i was like so many…where i knew what i was good at and could go from there. so far i’ve realized i can count past 10 and can order books. woo hoo! that ought to get me somewhere 😉 i want to find my something. i want to do something and stick to it. just wish i had a place to start. i guess i’ve just always gone with what was at hand and never thought any further. maybe it’s laziness or discouragement. oh well….maybe i’ll walk out the door tomorrow morning and get hit with a huge sign from above as to what to do….otherwise i guess i’ll just sit here and ponder away 😉
hodge podge
wow, i must be slacking. a whole 10 days since my last entry hehe.
this past weekend was SOOO fun! i must say that atlanta is not my favorite place due to multiple roads named basically the same thing, but the braves game was awesome! my first live baseball game…hot dogs and all. after some of those cab rides i’m just happy to be alive. we ate at this awesome place called sambuca. i loved it! it was the perfect atmosphere. there was a live jazz band and candle lit tables. brandon, meagan, justin, and i really got a chance to sit and talk about anything and everything. it was fun! i cant wait til the next adventure.
tomorrow i get my kitty finally!!! i pick him up after work. i really hope apache will like having a brother around. saturday i will have to get up early to watch them while justin works. poor thing doesn’t have a name but i’m workin on it. any suggestions?
before i go ….i just wanted to mention, in case i haven’t said it before….i hate spreadsheets!!!
yeah….random i am tonight.
friday
friday was a terrible day for dying. i mean….johnny cash, john ritter, ….and most of all…my fish lazarus. i know what you’re thinkin. ‘it’s just a fish bonnie!’….this wasnt just any fish….this was a special fish. i got him from a coworker at good ole winn-dixie over a year ago. he had won it at the carnival. i took it home and it was huge. i woke up the next morning to find an empty little aquarium. i searched the floor to find him barely alive on the carpet. i couldn’t flush him so i thought i would put him back in the water until he died. i found out later that my mom had found him on the carpet around 8am and i woke up and put him in the tank around 11am…so for at least 3 hours he was on the carpet. my mom thought he was dead and was late for work so she left him there for me to find later. a few hours later i went down to get the fish to flush him and he was swimming around perfectly fine. i will never have an explanation for that fish hehe. then on friday while on lunch break i heard rocks stirring and looked to see lazzi floating from the top to the bottom of the tank upside down. i guess i couldn’t expect another miracle…a few hours later he was still dead. RIP little guy!
