Tomorrow my grand adventure begins!~

WOO HOO! Tomorrow I will be heading for NY for my 25th class reunion! I'm going to make the drive over two days. I may or may not stay up there for the Labor Day picnic; I'm not registered at the motel for that long so I will play it all by ear. I may just want to get home by that point. I'm going to see if I can get my baby pictures this time as I'd love to show them to Greg. I'm not sure if they are still around up there or not but I'm going to try.

Only 4 days until I leave for NY!

I can hardly wait to see family and old high school friends again. And I am going to stop and visit some Jo-Ann's along the way just to see how different managers set their stores and what different things that they carry. Should be fun!

Gotta work today and then take Greg out for dinner. Yesterday was his 21rst birthday! YIKES! He is LEGAL now! I can hardly believe that my "baby" is 21 now! Time passes so quickly.

Looks like Scott may be heading for Austin, TX soon to visit a supplier there. I wish I could tag along on that trip. I've always wanted to visit TX. Maybe one day!

Everything A O K!

Dr. Antonnetti says Scott is doing GREAT and has healed well! Yeah! Hopefully this will be the end to his naval hernias! He went back to work on Tuesday and tires easily but is doing fine. Now there is talk of him traveling to L.A. and TX.

Next week I will be driving North to attend my 25th High School Reunion! Because he has been out of work so long for the surgery Scott will not be able to go up with me. I've been trying to reach Heather or Peggy to see if they would like to attend since I have paid for 2 people to attend both the ice breaker and the banquet. So far I haven't had any luck. OH well! I'm going to go and have fun seeing classmates and old friends.

SURVIVED!

I'm back from the NC trip and I survived! My head is killing me this morning and I'm not sure if it's just information over load or if I have a sinus/ inner ear infection now. Perhaps a shower will make me feel a bit better. I have so much to "repair" at my store... I have a LOT of behaviors to change. Dress code being the quickest to remedy... I HOPE!

All in all it was a good trip and having Richard along was good as I don't get as sleepy as when I drive alone. He is quite the interesting person once he lets his guard down a bit to let you in.

I'm glad that I am off tomorrow and Sunday and then next week I will be taking vacation to go up to NY for the weekend for my 25th high school reunion. Tomorrow I may get myself in to see the Dr.

Work and then Cary NC AGAIN!

I have to work 8 to 4 today then drive over and pick Richard up to head to NC for STL training. I am hoping to set up dinner with a few other managers for some defrazzling! I'm so worried that I will not meet expectations and issues with the Audit process are a HUGE concern for me as no one has walked me through one and explained each section in detail. I know my paper work is NOT 100% as I've been learning as I go and from mistakes. I worry a LOT about being let go now that Tim is gone. The joy and fun is not with me like it used to be and that makes me incredibly sad and depressed. I know I need to just "take the bull by the horns" but I need to find a reason to make it worthwhile and that hasn't happened as of late. I'm NEVER home with my husband and I miss him a lot. All our plans and dreams seem to have been cast aside for my job. Oh well I better get this day started whether I like it or not!

CHANGES AFOOT!

LOTS of changes are ahead and I'm not sure I can see myself going with the flow this time. Everything is becoming ALL BUSINESS and no fun. I'm starting to get depressed over it all but will be going to STL training in NC Monday night through Tuesday. I've started polishing up my resume in case I don't make it through the training session. No one over me knows me and how far this store has come so I'm walking a fine line at the moment and am not sure I like the tension thats building from it. Perhaps it is time for a change.

A/C Fixed...

But for how long? The unit is so old that the Tech said we are still trying to pull too much off it and it's not working correctly but IS working. If it doesn't cool any better than to 81* he said to call them back out. UGH!

Yesterday we also had our home A/C serviced and repaired... nearly $400!~ YIKES! Oh well!
Yesterday we discovered a Momma cat has her kittens in some of our azalea bushes... just what we did NOT need.... more cats! We have 3 and thats really too many some days. But kittens sure are cute aren't they?
