I am so thankful to be getting more hours at work but I am so tired lately. Mostly due from the horrid cold I have had for the past two weeks. Such terrible weather we are having, it’s almost impossible to not get sick now a days. I have had some good sleep though. I’m in and ready for bed before 9:00pm comes around — I feel so old. :P It’s my goal to try and stay up until ten tonight, hehe.
I hate not having the time to blog lately. I suppose I am running out of ideas — I am going to have to start brainstorming or something. Geez, I just realized a lot of my sentences begin with “I…” — Conceited much? I’m actually wondering how you, my readers, have been doing? How has the holidays and shopping been? Are you ready for Christmas!? Also, what would you like to see me blog about? Got any ideas I can start a discussion about perhaps?
As you can see, with my stuffed-up head and me already getting drowsy… I am not going to produce a good blog entry today. I did, although, find this really interesting book at work the other night. :P Ridiculous!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Nothing beats getting together with the entire family and pigging out on yummy food. I mentioned in a recent blog entry that I was suppose to have a family photo shoot but it was canceled at the last moment — two of the babies got sick. :( We’re just going to reschedule it towards Christmastime. I did, although, take a few photos of my two cousins after our Thanksgiving meal. I am quite proud at how it turned out despite the location. (Not the most professional-looking being that it’s taken in front of a house, hehe) I’m looking forward to the next photo shoot though, I am eager to improve my photography skills.
Today at work, as soon as we opened, this heavy set woman walks in and with a raspy voice demands me to order her some books. “I want you to order me some books, I didn’t say I want any from here, I want you to order them.” Okay… just because of that I didn’t even mention to her that she could save quite a bit if she ordered them herself from home. Not to mention free shipping.
What should have taken only 2-3 minutes turned into a 20 minute dilemma. While I was filling out the order form she gotten two phone calls. Instead of asking them to hold, she continued to talk to them — interesting enough in the same snappy-and-bitchy tone as she was using with me) So I waited. Mind you, at this point I had three people waiting at the registers. Even while I asked her to confirm the information, she continued to talk on the phone. While I was finishing up the transaction, she remembered some information she had forgotten to give me so I had to go back. My associate came by to finish up the order so I can finally get to the people waiting in line which at this point is now 5-6.
I hate not being able to blog when I want to. My laptop has failed me for the fourth time. Dell refuses to give me store credit and instead will be sending me a replacement laptop. After much aggravation I finally said to hell with it and just pray that my replacement will be good. If not, they can be sure they’re going to hear back from me. :)
So tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am completely blown away at how fast the year has gone by. It feels as though as each year I get older the quicker they fly by. It’s sad, really. But yes.. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am thrilled to spend the day with my family. Chris and I are cooking our acclaimed brownies tomorrow to bring over my grandmother’s house. I can’t wait to stuff my face with yummy food. Ahh, it is the best time of year, it really is. :D
Before I head over to my grandmother’s house tomorrow I will be heading to this beautiful neighborhood to have my first photo session, somewhat. My cousin has asked me to take photos of her mother and all her kids and grand kids. I was thrilled at the chance! I am going to treat this as a real photo shoot and hopefully I can come back with some really nice pictures. I am excited!
My sister had her second little girl on the 7th. She was told just days before that she would have to have a c-section because the baby was breached. We were all worried but the surgery went super well. She is healing up nicely thank goodness. I couldn’t imagine the struggle of taking care of a 2 week old baby as well as an energetic two year old — all while being stitched up!
My sister and her little girl!
Welcome to the world, baby Emma! She is now the fourth niece of mine. I am quite the lucky one. I will be helping my sister out by babysitting whenever I can. Ohh, will my hands be full for the next few months. :) I can’t wait to have both her and Alana over the house!
It’s been awhile since I have lost blogged. All due, of course, to my crappy laptop that has been refusing to cooperate. I have had to ship it back to Dell three times within the past six weeks. I have their word that I’ll get a new one if this one decides to croak again. We’ll see. Oh, and did I mention Chris’s laptop had to be shipped off aswell? Tsk tsk, Dell. :|
We got a puppppy, we got a puppppy! :D
While my laptop was being worked on, I kept myself busy with.. OUR NEW PUPPY! Chris and I have been talking about getting a dog for months now. We have been looking online at varies adoption agencies & Chris just so happen to stumble upon this adorable little dachshund. Unfortunately, by the time we contacted the woman the puppy had found an owner. To our surprise though, the puppy was a litter of nine!¹ The woman at the agency was trying to talk the puppy’s owner into giving them away since she would be unable to take care of them all.
