So I've been getting grilled at work, my area manager is calling me with ridiculous feedback and making me do the tiniest touch ups to certain parts of the store. I don't mind, I'd rather have busy work than no work right now!! But when I get called to put a button up under the leather jacket on the rack I'm thinking we need to be using our time a bit better! hahaha...
We have our new housemate Meg living with us right now, which is good, she has a little Yorkie named Mogwai he's pretty adorable, but a little yapper when he's upset, which isn't my favorite thing, but he's pretty darn cute!
Needless to say it's a full house, and we have our friend Jeff coming to stay with us this week. He went to CCU with us, and now he lives in Ohio. We haven't seen him in a few years, so it'll be good to have him around.
This week should be pretty busy again, with work on my back, Jeff to entertain, and oh yeah my car broke down on Friday night, don't worry mom Deuce was with me, and I wasn't stranded or anything! :) But I just hope it's not going to cost an arm and a leg! I hope it's just a computer bug and they can just reset it and it'll all be ok!
So Anna and I went to see Watchmen today. It's awesome!! It's 2 and 1/2 hours long, but so good! It's based off of a graphic novel, so it's not a movie for anyone with a weak stomach or under the age of 18... but very moving. I enjoyed it.
Books I'm reading:
Just finished The Alchemist and currently reading Diary by Chuck Palahniuk (he wrote Fight Club, he's one of my favorite authors)
Music I'm listening to:
Elliott Smith, Over the Rhine, and Boys Noize
Documentaries I'm watching:
I'm in the middle of a short called Trafficking. Google some stats on Human Trafficking, it's terrifying!!
OH and those of you who pray, which I'm sure is all of you, pray for my friend Serissa. She is going through a very rough time right now, and I'm trying to be a support to her (she really has nobody right now) I won't gossip about her troubles, but just pray for wisdom and the strength to do what's right for her and her 2 year old.

it's been a while
Sorry I've taken a bit of a vacation from blogging. Let's see here... so I went to Kansas City to visit Sarah and it was a very relaxing trip. We didn't do much, just hung out, and we were able to catch up which was fantastic. She's temporarily there living with her mom to save some $$ before heading to NY.
Once I got home, it was back to the grind! I had 3 days to plan another floorset when I usually have 5. Which ended up being ok, I work with a very seasoned staff, so I can depend on them (most of the time) to help me out. Sunday night was the floorset and the windows took me forever! They weren't difficult, just very detailed and I kept getting pulled out to
help our new sales girl Alli with placing some product o
n the floor. Which was fine, it just set my normal routine off. I'm usually done with the window in 2 hours, this time I finished it in 4.... ugh! but here they are... Beautiful!
So every year in Denver they do something called Denver Restaraunt Week. It's where all sorts of high priced restaraunts create a menu that is either $26.40 for one person or $52.80 for two. Deuce and I LOVE $52.80 week, we get to try new places without breaking the bank! We are super busy, and rarely get quality time, but we were able to squeeze two date nights in last week and had two great experiences! One of his snowboarder buddies is the GM of this great place called VITA, he had a special table reserved for us, and bought us an amazing bottle of wine. The next night we tried Sullivan's Steakhouse, which was great too! I'm sad we weren't able to go to more, but I'm happy with what we were able to do!
This week Christy and I have been trying to work out more, which is killing me! In a good way! We are doing her Power 90 dvd's... and man is it working! I'm so sore! hahaha... it's great, because summer is JUST around the corner, and Deuce and I are going to try to go on a cruise, which means bathing suit time! ugh...
just thinking about that makes me want to work out right now! I better go do that then. I'll be better at posting more often, I promise!
