bored!

ok so it’s totally pointless to be open today! no students are here, so basically we are here to stare at each other all day. i know i shouldn’t be complaining while things are calm and simple. in a few days i’ll be dreaming of this moment. i just wanted one more day off 😉 it’s been a busy weekend. a good one….but very busy. we are closing early today (shh) hehe just because 2 out of 5 of us already left and it’s DEAD in here. then i am off to heather’s old place to pick up some things in the truck for justin. we finished painting all the rooms in the house now. all justin has left is the trim and some other odds and ends. i’m so excited and can’t wait til everything is all moved in. it’s gonna look great!

i have a few minutes left here at work so i thought i’d share with you about my weekend since i know you really wanted to know 😉 i had the day off friday and took pixel (yes i finally named my kitten for good) to the vet, justin went with me. He was a very good boy (pixel too) 😉 j/k justin hehe. then i ran around shelby for much of the day and got my hair cut at hair expressions. then justin got off work and we went to his polk county high homecoming game. the other team was slaughtered (75-7). then we went to his parents’ for the night. i fell asleep during the news on the couch and justin was so sweet and made up the bed and brought me to it and tucked me in. then we were off the next morning to wal mart with his dad and then to best buy and target in asheville. finally we arrived at my parents’ house and took justin to see kelly’s daycare. it was a lot of fun but definitely not long enough. then sunday we went to the panthers/titans game. all i can say is GO TITANS! hehe When we got back we moved justin’s living room to his new house and watched a movie. monday was crazy as well and went by way too fast. all in all it was a great weekend.

til next time….

:)

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.

new

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 😉

:)

The most amazing thing happened to me. Don’t you wish you knew what it was? 😉

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.
