So all day today it felt like a Thursday, lol, seriously.

Got to get my truck back this morning, yeah. I missed being up high. Got the truck looks pretty good, Robert will look it over when he gets home tomorrow, he's in Lubbock for work. Drove out this morning. After picking up the truck went to see Miss Rita and get my neck stretched, usually feels good but not so good this time, neck has been tender and sore all day.

Got to the store just a bit before 11 and hit the door running. Got a couple more people signed up for the dd, gave a PAR test, got the schedule for next week finished, weeded through aps to line up for interviews.

Early on in the day Mike came into my office to tell me that Chuck called and wanted to talk to me, Chuck is the GM for the store in Arlington that I was training Seat to Eat at since Sept. They've chosen a new ETC and he called to see if he could borrow me, lol. I called him back and he wants me to come over next week to work with Loreana, help her organize the ETC office and show her the ropes so to speak. Talked it over with Mike, he's ok with cause we lined it up with Lisa to fill in for me again while I'm over in Arlington. I was very flattered because when I spoke with Chuck he told me there wasn't anyone else he could think of that was more qualified to do the job.

Left work at 6 and headed home to the dogs. Home alone, so nice and quite. Got a call from my friend Cindy and we spent oh something like 3 hours on the phone and our laptops discussing our trip in Sept to the Grand Canyon for another of our friends renewal of wedding vows and second honeymoon. Getting excited about it. We looked at all the different places to stay.

Just finished watching the season premier of Survivor and Crimial Minds - can we say Kathy Bates - Misery. LOL

So I guess that's about all I have to talk about tonight, all caught up again. LOL

Enjoy the rest of your week, God Bless and keep you

Tuesday, the 15th of February, 2011

The day after Valentine's, hmmm. LOL

got up early went to work and got busy catchin up on somethings. Signed more people up for direct deposit. I know I did alot, but for the life of me I can't think what all I did do. LOL

I know I was busy all day. At 3:45 Shayla showed up and we got started on her seat to eat training, wrapped it up at 5 till 6 and headed home, ASAP.

Got home, changed clothes, grabbed the camp table, chairs, food, wine, utensils, plates & cups and gifts and headed to La Rues for my once a month Keno group. I call it Scrapkeno cause we play for scrapbooking supplies. Lots of fun. lol

La Rue offered up her home for the event this time, I was hosting but with kids moving out and all the hours I've been working including working the day of the event, there was no time to clean, cook etc. God Bless my wonderful husband, he prepared the main dish for my event. He fixed us up with Chicken Enchilada's.

Glen, La Rue's husband I think knew what he was in for. lol, we get rather loud, we had a group of 13 this time, which is good, we've done anything from 6 to 20, so mid range. Funny thing was, Becky knew Glen cause she knows his sister, then Lori showed up and that was really funny cause when I introduced La Rue, Sarah(her daughter) and Glen she all but screamed I know him, he's my air conditioning man. LOL. It was funny.

We had a fun time as always, and of course I won the first two hands of round one then in round two won and stole a gift and by the time it was over I walked out with only the 2 toppers from the original two that I won. Not cool. lol that's ok though Steph came away with 2 things, one of which was the one I stole, it was the hot commodity for the night.

Didn't get home till 11 stayed helped clean up and visited with La Rue and Glen discussing more of her dilemma with her new business. I know it will all work out. God love her.

So until the next posting. God be with you all and bless you

Sunday & Monday, the 13th & 14th of February

Wow, what a weekend, Sunday got up and headed to work for a couple of hours to enroll more employees into the direct deposit, left and went back home, changed clothes and met up with a friend, Carla, for lunch at Logan's in Weatherford. Enjoyed it.

Got home and took it easy for a bit, being I still didn't feel great cause of my cold. Took a little nap and then had to get up and go back to work to see if I could catch up with the employees from the night shift for direct deposit, left after an hour. Headed home to change clothes and then to Azle to the floral shop to help La Rue out.

More orders and getting things ready for today.

Got a bit before 8 and headed to the shop, loaded up the truck and started driving. LOL delivered flowers all day, from 8:30 in the morning till just after 7. Made for a long day, ran out of flowers and had to go to the market to get more. Busy, busy, busy. I know La Rue probably collapsed when she got home tonight.

Lot's of beautiful arrangements being delivered and picked up today, She really did a fantastic job.

So if you live in or around the Azle area and you want quality work and you like flowers go see Miss La Rue at Sandy's Cozy Creations.

So the last 2 days the weather has been phenomenal, Sunday up to 76 degrees about the same today. It was a beautiful weekend, I guess the muskrat up north might be right, spring will be here soon. LOL

Till tomorrow, God Bless you all

Saturday, 12th of February 2011

So let me tell ya how I started my day, Robert and I went up to Roger Williams and I test drove a Dodge Journey, awesome ride. Really liked it, still gonna check out a couple of others but leanin hard toward the Journey.

Afterward, I headed out to Azle to help Miss La Rue with her floral shop, had a good time. Sold a whole lot of flowers for Valentine, even picked up the bouquet my husband had ordered for me. A picture will be posted on my FB.

Glen, La Rue, Christy, Leon, Robert and I all went to Terra last night for dinner, very good if you've never been, Mediterranean cuisine. Down off 7th street a block down from the 7th street movie tavern. After dinner we went to see True Grit. That was a good movie, all actors involved did a very good job in the remake of said movie.

That was the crux of my day off. Nice time hanging with my friends.

So until next time God Bless, have a wonderful weekend.

Friday, 11 February 2011

What a day, Woke up feeling worse than yesterday, I believe it's moved into a cold, UGH. Runny, stuffy nose, cough and scratchy throat. Got worse as the day went on.

Did a good bit of training, managed to get almost 1/2 the employees signed up for direct deposit or pay card. Left in the afternoon to go see Rita, got my neck stretched, lol, took a nap while the machine stretched me out.

Got back to work and started all over again. Didn't leave until almost 6:30 - finishing the week up with almost 52 hours. Long, long, LONG week.

Headed home, changed clothes, put my hubby in the rental jeep(lol) and we headed up to Antonio's to meet with Thersia Evonne for dinner. Good food - Good company

Got home just a little before 9 and been chillin on the couch since.

Oh we did stop by Roger Williams to check out the Journey's, nice, think I'm gonna go test drive one tomorrow. Will let you all know how it rides. Driving a Jeep liberty right now, not bad, handles well, drives easy, accelerates nicely. all in all not bad, just a bit small on the inside for my tastes.

Till tomorrow, ya'll have a great day, God Bless

Thursday, 10th of February 2011

Another long day of training and more training. Lots of fires to put out also, no pay checks, had to tell people never fun.

We got crazy busy a couple of times, had a visit from the DM. All in all not a bad day, just need to get everyone on the same page.

I really don't have alot to tell tonight, although I think I'm trying to come down with something. I hope not, I really don't want to get get, don't have the time. To much going on with work. Had an itchy left nostril last night, needed to sneeze felt like I'd inhaled a fiber up my nose, woke this morning with it feeling dry and like I was getting a sore throat right back in the back where the nose canal meets the back of the throat, it's gradually gotten worse through the day.

Picked up a bowl of chicken soup from On the Boarder in hopes that the chicken soup would help, immediately took a double dose of zinc as soon as I walked in the door at home. Now on the couch wrapped up & suckin on a cough drop, blowing my nose. LOL, luckily I don't feel to bad at all just the ugh of the beginning of a cold. I know I caught it from one of my co-workers who went through training he coughed on me. LOL

So one more day till this week ends for me, I have another long day tomorrow. Wont be done training unfortunately, got a couple of servers left to do, got all of dish to do and a couple of the hostesses.

We'll get there. Eventually.

Till tomorrow, God's Blessings on you all

Tuesday & Wednesday the 8th & 9th of February 2011

Ok, I was so wiped out when I got home last night I all but collapsed. It was a long 14 hours at work yesterday. So really not a lot to talk to you about except to say I was SO very busy, training the servers and then we got busy business wise, by the time I got home my feet hurt so bad, Robert rubbed them for me for a bit, wished it had been longer. LOL

Had to get up early this AM, was supposed to go in at 6:30 but we woke up to blowing ice & snow and a sheet of ice on the roads. Called in, told them I would probably be in later, after the sun came up. Honey woke me up around 8, cause I went back to bed, lol, to tell me that we were going to Enterprise to get me a car since the Durango is in the shop for a week to 10 days. So we got me a Jeep Liberty and I headed to work, thought I was going to be there really late again today but got lucky and left around 6:30. Still was a long day between keeping up with tables, got a good pop in the AM before lunch and then trying to train, again the feet hurt but I'm chillin on the couch.

I get to start all over again tomorrow at 6:30 AM till I'm done. Already at 30 hours this week with 2 days left to work.

Training is going fairly well, I'm glad to say. Got a few pills to go through tomorrow, lets hope they're as receptive as everyone else has been.

Till tomorrow, ya'll have a great day. God Bless and keep you all till then.
