Hey, Kids!

Been a while since I've updated... but all I've been doing is working or dreading work. Since I've requested 2-3 nights per week I got one day. Sweet. Typical, too. And now I've been wondering what I'm going to do if I get an interview someplace and I have to work? I have to request days off three WEEKS in advance, since that's how far out they complete the schedule. But it's also nice since then I can at least know what days off I have. I tried beling flexible, but I DO have a wedding to plan in Minnesota! Sheesh. I was told that I can't leave since I am one of the 'few good ones'. I'm thinking that maybe they're hoping to get me into a higher-up position since I'm doing operator (fitting rooms/mens/shoes/answering phone) and John (LOD) told me that that was what Jen P. used to be and now look at her... shot up the ranks! Anyways...

We went to the Sheboygan county fair last Friday (I actually had it off!) with Jason B. It was funny, I was going to Sheboygan to go shopping for the wedding this coming weekend and then I saw J in his car and called him and he told me that he got here half an hour before. Last time we had talked he wasn't sure if he was going to make it or not, so it was really cool that we got to hang out with him. There was someone else there... if you want to hear about it e-mail me. :) And I was disappointed that the horse barn was closed when we got there, but there were ponies stationed outside in little stalls of their own and one had a baby that wasn't even a month old! He was so cute! Then we went home and I had an amaretto sour and went do bed.

Saturday we didn't do much, I had to be to work at 4:30. Sunday we went out to the lake for breakfast, then we went back to the house and relaxed then I went to work. Monday we moved into the basement from upstairs. There is NO daylight down here, and it is sooo odd waking up (that first morning was 10:21!!). And now Shaun has a whole AREA to make dirty instead of just a room... and doing a 'good' job of it, too. Makes me so angry!

This weekend I'm in Jenny Mickey's wedding, so I took Fri-Sun off. It should be a grand ol time! I don't know many people ther either so I only have Shaun. But he can come to the rehearsal dinner (at Damon's) and sit at the bridal party table! Heehee how cute! :) At least I won't have to leave him alone, he hates that so much... not knowing anybody. So this will probably be my last update until monday.

Andrea called me last night and while I was outside I stepped on glass! First I showed Shaun it (he couldn't see it so he thought it fell out... Yeah, glass just falls out of cuts ;-) ) then when he started towards my foot to get it out I said, "NO! I want your mommy to do it!" So I went upstairs and asked her but Leanne's nearsightedness is not that great, and it was poor lighting too, so in the end Shaun did have to do it. He still maintained that it fell out, but when I drug a gauze pad over it it snagged on something that wasn't me. He thought it was my skin, but I could have told that. Anyways, Shaun tried getting it out and it hurt so I bit my arm to distract me from that pain. I can see red marks on my arm today from my canines. But he eventually got it out. It was a skinny little bastard! Just a sliver but oh, did it hurt! Anyways, I'm fine now so all's well that ends well. Talk to you all soon! :)

P.S. I might have a different cell phone number at the end of the weekend! Then it'll actually work here and it won't be constantly cutting out! It's going to be Verizon.

Hi Dana!

Tell me who else was there!

You're a good worker and I'm sure Target will take notice of that. What kind of ranks are there to move up to?

I hope you have a good time at the wedding. How's the planning coming for yours?

E-mail me your new number when you get it, k? Have a great weekend!!
