Black Friday why are you so ugly looking?

I work in retail, whoopee. So I was one of the lovely ladies that said "did you get everything you needed?" or "thanks for coming in see you later", yep that was me, the red head behind the counter all day. Taking your money, wrapping, bagging, smiling all day....

At the end of the day my thoughts went to other scenerios that I wish I could of said today, for example....

1. No I do not like working here, please stop asking me

2. No I don't want to see you come back in again, in fact I didn't want to see you at all today

3. Yes that is our last one on the wall, and NO I do not want to get it down for you, in fact I'd rather cut my legs off

4. I don't care if you are decorating your mantel, don't ask me to come over and do it for you, figure it out yourself

5. YES! I did put your discount in! and YES I am going to stamp your rewards card! and YES I want to reach across the counter and slap your silly little face off

6. To the lady who went into the office and took the stocking, I wanted to reach my short arm across the counter and punch you in the face. Then I wanted to tell you that we do not take things that don't belong to us, especially if it is a room where your not aloud. So don't ever do that again.

Thank you for shopping with us and have a great day.

P.S. To the people who tried knocking on the door to let them in after closing, GO AWAY! There is reason why we locked the doors.

Brian told me I am not being very nice, and way to be in the Christmas Spirit, BAH HUMBUG!

Really I wish I had some babies so I could be one of the ladies standing in line at 4 a.m., asking to get things down for them, taking stockings, and making sure I got my discount and my rewards punched....But alas, that is not my fate today, maybe next year, maybe next year. To all the mom's I am JEALOUS, that right you heard it JEALOUS! Someone give me some babies!

Happy Black Friday!

Rah, Rah, Rah.....

This is late but we went to the BYU game on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Our friends Miles and Kris came, who are visiting from England, and we had a spectacular time. We had great seats, North endzone 2nd row right next to the cannon. Which is a lot louder when you are sitting right next to it. Good thing BYU won because it was cold! Go Cougars!

Come Together........

At the beginning of October my side of the family decided it was time to take some family pictures. The last one was over 15 years ago. Since then there have been 7 new people added to the family, and well it was 15 years ago. What slackers we are. They turned out FANTASTIC, and we were able to get a great photographer, who is one of our good friends from Fresno. Michelle Tandy is a great photographer and very affordable. We had so much fun with her. Visit her blog michelletandyphotography.blogspot.com. You will fall in love with her pictures! Here are a few, the background is my parents backyard, beautiful in my opinion, just gorgeous.

Yes...I am Alive

I know, what is an intervention worth, if it doesn't help? I've been gone...I know, have you missed me? I've missed myself if that helps? There comes a time in everyones life where they have to sit back and look from the outside in and revamp what is going on in their lives. They have to dissappear for a little bit maybe even hide out, and then one day in all the confusion and darkness the light shines through a little brighter and everything is well again. I'm back, and am feeling like a shining beackon of hope. In fact in honor of my shinyness, were going to throw a party, a bloging party! Sleep with one eye open your not going to want to miss it!
