Monday & Tuesday, 30th & 31st of May 2011

The last two days of the month, memorial day, a day to remember those who have died serving our country.

I had to work yesterday, Monday, I accidently went to work an hour early and I have to say I came home VERY upset. I just get so very tired of being disrespected by certain employees who are allowed to repeatedly get away with breaking the rules and don't care. Managers who can't communicate with one another much less anyone else. We were busy but not so terribly busy to have the kind of problems that we had. Mike is really a great manager for the most part but his biggest down fall is when he thinks we are getting busy he gets very flustered and stressed and it carries over to the rest of the staff and then everyone is on edge. If I knew how to teach him to be calm and not start to go nuts when we have a half full dinning room.

I did manage to get one person PAR tested before I left work yesterday.

I came home mad and got changed then chilled out on the couch watching recorded tv. Then at 9 we watched the new extreme make over.

Today - Tuesday, went to work at 8:30 and had orientation today, 2 guys showed and the girl didn't show up, surprised at that. So today was like a typical Monday, slow. LOL

All in all it was a good day, left at 2:30 and came home and chillin. I kept getting sharp pangs on the left side of my neck, so not doing to much. Watching an old movie that I enjoyed from ages ago called "The Dark Chrystal" one of Jim Hensen's first movies. LOL

Waiting for America's got talent to start.

Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week. God bless

Sunday, 29th of May 2011

Up early, shower, cook some sausage & biscuits and on the road. LOL

Glen & La Rue showed up at 8 and we loaded up and headed down the road to Waxahachie to the faire. We arrived at 9:30, get parked, glen gets changed into his kilt and off tot he gate we go. I tell the Lady at the will call window our names - nothing. Hmm, where's our tickets? I turn around and heading toward us is my Uncle David with our tickets. LOL

The cast entertained everyone before the gates opened, it was fun. When the gates opened it was a push to get in. We just took our time. After we were inside the gates, David - Lord Bothwell came to visit with us for a bit before he headed off to do his thing.

We wondered around the park, visited shops, tried on clothes, ate, watched a few shows and the last thing we did was to see the Scottish court at 3:30, my Aunt & Uncle are in the cast, and we visited with them a few, got some pictures. Then at the end of their skit Lord Bothwell tells Queen Margaret that he has family here that he'd like to introduce to the court. Calls me up and then Robert but he'd gone to get water so there I stood in the middle of the circle being introduced to the court and all who looked upon. It was fun but we were done after that show, all 4 of us were tired. LOL We really had a wonderful day, got some sun but not to much, it was windy which was fine cause in the shade made it comfortable.

We headed home just after 4:30, got home around 6 and literally vegged, I was tired and dirty as was Robert. We watched some tv, I took a shower at 10:15 and felt more human. LOL

Robert came back shortly there after and took his shower and he went to bed which is where I'm heading off to now.

Good night all, have a wonderful holiday tomorrow, God Bless and keep you.

Slept in this morn till around 9, got up and ate a bowl of cereal and watched "You again". Robert was weed eating & mowing. After the movie I decided to take care of ALL my indoor plants, repotted a few, cleaned them up and fed them, they all look pretty again.

Pretty much didn't do to much else, Robert ran to Walmart around 3 cause we finally decided what we were going to do for the evening. We met Glen & La Rue at La choza's for dinner at 5 then all headed back to our house to drop off their truck and the four of us headed down to Granbury to sit and wait till 9 for our movie to start. LOL,

We went to the Granbury Brazos Drive In movie theater. Wow we all commented one how it had probably been 30 plus years since any of us had been to a drive in. Even though I saw it yesterday with Cindy I didn't mind seeing it again. We saw Pirates of the Carribean. We had so much fun they don't open the gates till 7:30, we got there at 7 and there was already a line of probably 25 to 30 cars lined up the road waiting for them to open, then when we did get in the gate, boy the front 2 rows were already full. We ended up on the row right behind the concession not in a bad spot. Of course it was hot, the sun was still up but the wind was blowing so it was a nice evening and watching others around us. We set up to chairs in the back of the truck, had to sleeping bags for padding for sitting on the bed more comfortably.

After the sun went down the wind really picked up. The were showing a second movie, Tangled but we needed to leave to get home and to bed cause we're going to Scarborough tomorrow morning. Can't wait looking forward to a great day.

Till tomorrow, have a fantastic memorial day weekend. God Bless this country and those who have served it faithfully. Military, police, fire.

God bless

Friday, 27th of May 2011

It's Friday, day one of my 3 days off. Up early surprisingly, woke up before the alarm went off, unbelievable. LOL, just laid in bed for a bit, just stretching and waking up. After I got up got on my laptop, checking messages, playing FB games. LOL Steph still having probs with her car so she came over to get the old truck and that wasn't running to well so she came back and contacted work to work from here. I cleaned the kitchen then went to get ready for my afternoon date with my girl Cindy.

I ran to Azle to the PO, then went to Rues and baby sat the place so she could run some deliveries. She got back a bit after 12 and I head on to Lake Worth to the Starplex to see Pirates in 3D. Can I just say AAAWWWEEESOME. It was fun and funny. We really enjoyed it. If you got to see it, remember to stay past the credits for the little teaser at the end.

After the movie we went over to Goodwill and found a few hidden treasures. From there we went to Dot's, Cindy has never been, just recently heard of it so I took her over. She found some new clothes to go with her new size, since she's lost over 40 lbs and is looking great.

After shopping at Dot's we went our seperate ways and I headed over to Walmart. Called La Rue to see what she was up to since Glen has had to work late a couple nights this week, was gonna invite her to come over, however Glen was home so they invited us to come eat Man burgers. I called Robert to see if he was up too it and he was and said he'd just meet me at their house. We ate a nice dinner enjoying it then we watched The Green Hornet, after the movie we headed home. So now here we are home watching Pawn Stars and about to go to bed here in just a bit.

So I think it might be a lazy day tomorrow, maybe do a few things here around the house. Who knows, see how I feel when I wake up.

Have a great weekend, God Bless

Today was my Friday. Wooo whoooo. Busy day though, had people coming in getting computer stuff done and some PAR tests. First thing I did was finish my part of the schedule for next week, adding in those who need to do their computer stuff next week and meetings.

I got things ready for Mikes interviews tomorrow, did my DM(tattle tale)report done and sent off. Had a meeting with some of my trainers at 2:30 till about 3:45 and left work at 4. Went over to Goodwill cause a friend of mine told me that they have packages of 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper for $1. Went to check it out and didn't really see anything I liked. I did get a George Foreman for $3 and it works. I figured it would be good for when I start my diet, Cindy used hers for her meat when she did the same diet. I just tootled around Goodwill for a while checking out their stuff, not much, you can really tell it's in a poor small town. A lot of winter stuff, everything people couldn't get rid of in their garage sales. Don't get me wrong, I have found some really great stuff there before just not today.

Headed home where I've pretty much vegged since, watched movie & visited with Amanda, she came by and had her help me get the trash to the road before she left. Now I'm watching another movie "Delgo", not bad, animated good vs bad, teaching a lesson movie. LOL

So I have the next 3 days off, yeeeeee haww. Gonna get up in the morning and vacuum then head to the post office to mail a package, stop by Rues to get my car charger for my cell & my jack that I loaned her daughter to change her tire. Then meeting up with my BFF at 12:30 to see the new Pirates movie. Can't wait. Arrrr ye matey. ;-)

Robert should be home after 4 and I wont be far behind, maybe even before him. He's driving back from Amarillo tomorrow. Not sure what we'll do tomorrow night. Hmmm have to think about that.

Well until tomorrow, ya'll have a safe and happy weekend, Happy Memorial Day. God Bless

What a Wednesday! LOL. Not to terribly bad but long. Ended up working 10 hours today. Gave 8 PAR tests, got several people to get their overdue courses done. Travis(RS) got computer work done and his micros.

As much as I did today I feel like I didn't do anything. My neck is really tired, came home with a bit of a headache.

I called La Rue on my way home to see if she might want to meet me at La Choza's for a margarita. They make the best mango margarita's. She said she was game, so I came home & changed clothes and headed to the restaurant. We shared fajita's and just chatted. She got a little bit of hail damage on her roof last night from the storm and the power went out for a little while at the shop. Luckily it must not have been off to long, she didn't loose any flowers, that's a good thing. I got home just after 9 and just chilled on the couch, watching recorded stuff. Bummed just found out gotta watch Biggest Looser online due to the fact of the storms yesterday they spent the last 48 minutes of the two hour show showing the radar and talking about what was happening. Dern them. LOL

So that's about it. Tomorrow's my Friday, looking forward to it. Got Friday, Saturday & Sunday off, woooo whoooo.

Good night all, God Bless.

Tuesday, 24th May 2001

Got to work today and stepped right into being busy for me - the store on the other hand, not so busy. Mike was there and he was supposed to be off today but apparently Shawn was stuck at the airport in Kansas City, likely story, seems he's pulled that one before but I didn't mention that to Mike.

So had Nick and Travis(new RS) ready to get started on Menus and had my computers busy all day with people doing their over dues and taking PAR tests. In between all that I was checking on the back ground checks I sent off yesterday, getting all my papers in order so that I can call for interviews and being busy. So around 4 Stephanie called me at the store and was crying and in between her being so upset I got "my radiator blew up on me in my face". Scared me to death. I had two ladies on the computer, one trying to finish her PAR test and the other finishing her last two courses so I could test her. I was trying not to cry, wanting to start calling people to find out what to do, calling Steph back to find out what she was doing. I got Christina through her PAR told Sarah to finish her courses, lock my office and turn off the lights when your done, I gotta go to Burleson.

I jumped in the truck, called Niki to see where she was since I knew she was headed down, called my sister that lives in Burleson to see if she could find Steph and get her to a facility that could take care of her. Because I was imagining the worse. Called Amanda, her and Jason were heading down, I called Robert to give him a heads up. Reminded me of the days when he could go TDY and within days of him leaving something always happened to one of the kids. Glenda, Robert's sister called me and said she was on her way as was Mary Lou(Grandma). We were all headed to Hugley in Burleson at that point.

Talked to Sis and they were going to an urgent care on 1187 & Crowley Rd. She felt that it looked ok and that the ER would make Steph sit in the waiting room for hours. Niki found them I wasn't to far behind. When I got there Steph, Niki, Bailey(niece) and my two sisters, Kisty & Sissy(Triesha) were all standing in the vestibule talking. I opened the door took a look at Steph and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked fine, no blisters or falling off skin on her face, no redness. Looked a little like she got a fast tan, you could see her sunglasses outline, thank Heavens she had her sunglasses on. I gave her a big hug and cried a bit thankful she was alright.

She was more scared and traumatized by what happened I believe that she just wasn't sure what to do. So here's what happened, she was headed home from work up Crowley Rd. She wasn't even in Burleson. She was at a convenience store on the corner of McCart & Crowley Rd, so she was in Fort Worth. Sissy went and picked her up and all ended well. I took Steph back to her car after we went to Auto zone to get another radiator cap and then stopping at Kroger for bottled water.

After stopping to get Steph's car we headed back to the house. Amanda was here waiting when we got back and we spent most the rest of the evening getting Netflix's to work on th PS3. We watched "Easy A" pretty funny. Not a bad movie.

That's it, I gotta go to bed, early day again tomorrow, God Bless you all
