So Monday has come and gone, lol. Got to see Rita this morning, did some adjusting and then traction. Felt inches taller. LOL

Got to work right at noon, a bit busy. Found out that my managers decided to jump the gun on some training with some of the servers. I was VERY upset and aggravated at them. We scheduled these people and there is a system in place. We'll see what happens. Did our first training "the right way" at 3, went well.

Finished up at 6, just as they were getting busy, of course, I had to leave to head to the gym, did Zumba again, awesome. Love it.

Got home just after 8 and Robert and I took the Durango up to the Body Shop and dropped it off.

When we got back I had a bit of dinner and we watched Harry's Law, it's really a good show, of course they have shoes which I enjoy seeing. LOL After the show, watched a bit of news and then headed to the shower, all sweaty after my work out. So now I'm all toasty, just finished watching Castle - another one of my favs and now I'm gonna head to bed.

Boy my life is really pretty boring when I write it all down like this. Sorry, not alot to report.

Hope you all have a great week, expecting bad weather around here again tomorrow night. I gotta get to bed, got a 14 hour work day for the next two days.

God Bless all

Super Bowl Sunday, who cares? Not me that's for sure and having to live all week with all the hipe since it was here in the local area of where I live. And to the idiots who are speculating whether or not to have Super Bowl here ever again - WE CAN'T CONTROL THE WEATHER. I do feel sorry for all those business owners in down town Fort Worth that lost alot of business due to the weather.

Didn't do much today, went to Albertson's to meet brother in law Greg to pick up Girl Scout cookies, did a bit of grocery shopping, took some cell pics of floral arrangements and texted them to LaRue with prices so she could see what some of the competition looks like.

Hung out at the house with hubby till I had to get ready for work, went in to do a meeting with the 3 that didn't get it done a week and a half ago. They were all there, 2 not to happy about it but knew if they weren't there they'd not be working for 4 weeks, till after we are done with all the training and then certified.

So I missed the beginning of the whole debacle with Christina Aguilera, although got lucky enough to see it again on the news, and again, and again. Did enjoy the commercials, especially the coke commercials and loved the Darth Vader VW commercial, totally cute.

I also enjoyed the half time show, I'm a fan of Black Eyed Peas.

That was my big day. LOL

Till next time God Bless and keep you.

Well guys finally showed up this morning a bit after 9, took them a bit over 4 hours to change out the pump. Yea, got a shower, flushed all the toilets with out having to hand fill the tank with water. Headed out to pick up my friend LaRue and her daughter Sarah. We went to Hobby Lobby did some shoppin, looked for things for her new business, she's re-opening a floral shop in Azel. Found alot of nice things especially in the 60% off area. I found some great pictures of antique french ladies shoes(slippers as they were called once upon a time) for my craft room.

If you have been reading all my postings, I think some where I've expressed my love for shoes, heals, when I see a heal my heart races, I LOVE A STILETTO, no wedges, some flats are cute, but give me a 4 or 5 in spiked heal I'm in heaven. The young man checking me out said you must like heals(there were only 4 pictures) but I said you just don't know, there was a man behind me in line around my age who was smiling at this exchange, I told the cashier that I've always been in competition with Imelda Marcos, he said he didn't know who that was, I looked at the man behind me, as I laughed saying he was to young, seriously the man behind me didn't even know who she was. I said she was a dictator in the Philippines who owned over 600 pairs of shoes. LOL oh well.

So we headed on back to Azle, picked up some pizza after dropping off all our finds at the shop and our guys(Robert & Glen) were waiting on us at LaRue's house. Watched the rest of Robin Hood - Russell Crow version, ate pizza and then we played dominos until about 10:30 and headed home. Wooo whoo, big night. LOL

Ya'll have a great Sunday, enjoy the game if you are into that. God Bless

So the snow was here this morning then the sun came out this afternoon and the roads started to melt some, yeah.

Early morning, had to be up in time to get on a conference call at 7, then hung around watching the snow for a while, got ready for work and Robert drove me in. The minute I walked in the door it was chaos. Two managers, both cooking, 5 servers, a cashier hosting, another cashier, a retail and the retail manager and we were busy. But we pulled it out. Just did guest services the whole time keeping the dining room cleaned up after the large groups. Slowed down by 2 as usual.

Robert came and picked me up and we were home by 4 and here we stayed. Still no water, 3 days now. At 4:30 Robert called the well co that was supposed to come out to change the water pump, the one about 150 feet down below the earth cause they told him yesterday they'd be back this afternoon, where they? HECK no, they're response oh no they wont be there till tomorrow. MY RESPONSE - THANKS FOR THE PHONE CALL.

We watched The Karate Kid - the new one with Jaden Smith, it was really good and that little man is so like his daddy and adorable to boot.

So tomorrow I think well go out and test drive some new cars to see what I'm gonna like, once we get the truck fixed from my accident with the ice. ARG, 2 payments left and truck in great shape, under 100K and what do I do hit the black ice.

Till tomorrow, God Bless

Well another day in the cold. lol, headed to work here in Weatherford. Busy day. PAR tested 2 of my servers, worked on the schedule for next week to get all the servers ready for their 1 on 1 training. Not busy business wise, just busy catching up. Stayed to help out the evening shift, didn't want Mike to have to stay, bless his heart he hadn't been home since Tuesday. So I told him to go, I'd stay as shift leader. Things are shaping up for S2E, just behind on the prep cooks since all their hands on was supposed to be done this week, but with the weather most everyone has not been able to make it in to work. Not much to tell about anything other than I lost control of my truck on the way home and did a bit of damage to the left side and rear bumber/tail light.

Oh update on the water well, it is the pump that is 150 ft below the surface, it will have to be replaced. So tomorrow that will be taken care of.

Got a conference call at 7 AM, not sure if I'm even going to work now since I need to call the insurance office and see what I need to do.

So goodnight to all, God Bless and keep you.

Groundhog day. The groundhog says spring will be here early. LOL we'll see. Right now not so sure. But enjoying the snow and surprisingly the cold, as long as I don't have to get out in it.

Got up super early this morning, so that I could be at the store there on 360 by 6:30, when I got there everything was dark. News is saying it was rolling black outs, so the power was out about 30 min, came on just in time to start my training with the trainee's I had today. Got them wrapped up a bit after 8:30 so that they could head back to the hotel and finish up there.

Left Arlington for the long nerve wracking drive home on the icy roads. Took almost 2 hours to get home, roads clear in some places not so good in others and it's still cold, cold, cold.

Now their calling for more snow tomorrow afternoon.

I caught up on the shows I recorded last night since I wasn't home and played on my FB, watched the dogs play in the snow. Kept hoping Robert would figure out why we don't have any water. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have water, we may have to call a plummer or drill outfit. We have our own well, Robert thinks it may be the pipes down under the pump.

So again not alot to report about. LOL

Till tomorrow, God Bless you all and stay warm. Global Warming my foot. LOL

Woke up to major ice and snow storm, house bound for the day. Wind chill made it zero degrees outside today. Very, Very cold. So really didn't do alot, caught up on recorded tv, finished organizing my bathroom, then packed for my trip and over night stay in Arlington. lol

Which is why this didn't get posted last night. Took me an hour and 1/2 to get to the hotel. Roads not to bad on the major areas. Couldn't get on the net last night, hotel(Marriot - if you can believe it)charges 9.99 if you hook up to the net in your room. With as much as you have to pay for a hotel room there especially super bowl week you'd think it would be free. Seriously.

So this is the post for the first day of February. Not alot to talk about. LOL
