Yesterday...

Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary!! Yay!!! We went out and had dinner and then went to paint pottery at the pottery bayou (http://www.potterybayoumosaicstoo.com/) We had a great time. Then today we went to the flea market in Winston (not much fun) and on the way back we went to the farmers market. If you have never been to a farmer's market you should definately go!! We got some great deals on some yummy food. www.agr.state.nc.us/markets/facilit/farmark/triad

anyway, that's all for now

I have a cold!!!

I got a cold a few days ago and I've been miserable ever since. I can't breathe out of my nose most of the time, but at least it's not running uncontrollably anymore. I'm glad I haven't got a sore throat or cough though.

Two of the girls at work turned in notice today so at the end of the month we will be back down to 4 people. That really sucks! I suppose we'll start interviewing people again very soon, hopefully we'll find someone half decent. I'm kind of upset because one of the ones that is leaving is the one who does my hair. :(

Also, I've decided I like people posting comments. Especially random people. I like when people I know post (like my sister) especially when she ADDS TO THE CHAIN STORY. But when a random person responds it just seems more special. They aren't obligated to read my posts, but they do. I feel so warm and fuzzy!

hmmm...

I'm sitting here eating girlscout shortbread cookies and wondering why I paid $3.50 for one box. They are good, and I could eat a lot of them, but $3.50? come on! I could probably make them cheaper myself! I just thought about it, and I bought 3 boxes. One thin mint (which I ate all of...frozen), one shortbread (which I just opened) and one carmel delight (which i have no idea what happened to them). I know Bob didn't eat them, he doesn't like coconut. Hmmm, I'll have to look around and find out.

I started on a new crochet project today. I'm trying to make some potholder/hotplates for my sister. They were supposed to be for her birthday, but I'm so slack that her birthday already passed 2 weeks ago and I'm just now starting them. Oh well, I'm sure she'll like them anyway.

I spent most of the day at work sitting around with nothing to do today. I like Wednesdays at work though for two reasons. One is that all the new merchandise comes in to put on the showroom floor. The second reason is, as a result of the truck coming, the manager buys everyone lunch. Today we had chinese food, and it was delicious!

Bob and I are both off work this weekend and we are going house hunting! I'm so excited about getting ready to move. The place we live now is a dump and they are raising the rent in April!!! Besides, we want to move out before the bees start coming in again. (They live in the wall of the 3rd bedroom) Also, they don't allow pets, so we want to move out before they find out we have Jasper. by the way, they are owned by ARC which is Affordable Rental Communities...yeah, they're affordable if you want to live in a junk heap.

We've been eating only organic veggies and meat products as of the first of February. We got some organic eggs and they were delightful! The brand we buy is Horizon (www.horizon.com)
and they have everything! Milk, eggs, juice, pudding, jello, cheese...and their drinks all come in single serving size packs too so you can pack them in your (or your hubbies) lunch! Before you say anything, organic milk is still Pasteurized!!! The only difference between it and "regular" milk is that the animals are fed a strictly vegitarian diet, and they are not injected with antibiotics or growth hormones. This makes the milk untainted. Check out the website for more information.

I suppose that's all I've got for now

The last few days...

I just got my hair dyed again. It was supposed to turn out blonde, really really bleach blonde, but the red just does not want to go away. The roots are super blonde, but it fades into medium red at the bottom. It kind of looks like I planned it that way, but I really didn't.

I'm trying to find a new place to rent. The place we are in now is horrible and the place we were going to rent got sold. I guess now we are just kind of stuck here until we find something better. Hopefully we will find something soon, maybe with a yard for the puppy and a big kitchen for me!

I got a raise at work, but when I looked on my check it was wrong! I was told on January 23rd that I would get a $.75 raise, it just showed up on my last check, but it was only $.25!!! I told my boss and he said he must have been confused as to what my original pay rate was. I already waited 6 weeks for the raise! now i have to wait even longer for them to fix it! It really sucks. I was also told that I can not take vacation the week of labor day for my 1st wedding anniversary because we are not allowed to take time off on holidays because that's our busiest times. I found out the other day that the office manager is taking off the entire week of July 4th. Well, if she does I suppose I'll be off on Labor day week whether they like it or not.
