will there be a new post from me. But I do have an excuse.....not a good one but an excuse non the less. Yesterday I did some things that have been neglected around the house this week, like laundry, dishes, you know important stuff. Then I had to work at Chunky's last night. This was the first night that the Mgr. let me do the closing paperwork all by myself. I think I did OK, I did somethings out of the normal order but she said whatever I was comfortable with was fine. I didn't tell her that I didn't mean to do it out of order I just forgot a couple of steps along the way...although, I am sure she noticed the dazed and confused look on my face but she chose not to say anything. *G*
Today was technically my day off but here it is 6:30 and I am exhausted. I left the house this morning at 10am to get my check from Job #1, go by the bank, then I had to come home pick up the pooch for her day at the puppy spa (more on that later) Then, I went to get my hair done.....shhhh don't tell anybody but I changed the color of my hair today! And Sugarbritches didn't even notice! *L* Well, he did notice that it was cut differently and his exact words were.."Something's different right?" Bless him! I also had to go by the grocery store before I
finally went back to pick up the pooch and even after 4 1/2 hours she STILL was not ready! I was kinda ticked off!! I mean I was told it would take 2 hours when I dropped her off at 1pm!! I won't be taking her back there. It was a new place, actually the same girl who had been grooming her just opened her new shop and asked that we give her a try. She told me that she would be cheaper than I was paying now since I would be driving about 10 more miles to her shop. Well, when I dropped her off she asked me how much I had paid at shop #1. Thinking she just wanted to know so she could be lower, I said "$40" She said OK and I left. Well, when I pick her up she tells me that she will MATCH their price for her old customers but the new customers would pay more. Well, I won't be paying more and I won't be going back. Pooch does look fabulous in her little yellow bows but her cut was almost as much as mine today!
Oh well, live and learn I guess. I still need to price things for the Yard Sale and fix something to eat for Supper.
Feel sorry for me yet?

New Job
Back in Jan. I decided that the only way I was going to be able to get out of this credit card hole I had dug for myself was to get a second job. I only worked part-time as it was and I have had 2 jobs several times during the last 10 years so it wasn't that hard to think about. I only applied at one place. A women's store very close to my first job. The rationale was that since it was so close I could leave job 1 & go to job 2 on my way home. I went in for an interview a few days after applying and started that week. I'll call the store "Chunky's" which is close to the real name but not so close as to get me in trouble (HOPEFULLY) I really like working there! For the most part everyone I work with is very nice and the management team all seem to like me. I was told that I would only get about 10 hours a week.....that lasted a few weeks. I started slowly picking up shifts when people called out and soon I was working 20-25 hours a week.
As I said, I really enjoy working there and almost everyone there is great. ALMOST. There are 2 Co-Managers and an Asst. Mgr. Asst. Mgr is 25, lives at home and will tell you all about her life...even if you ask her not to. *G* She is incredibly lazy and seems to work very hard to get out of work. Just a few examples, one day she was re-stocking our jewelry counter (which sits in front of the registers) and I was on the other end of the store putting out that week's shipment. She called me 4 times to come check out customers. The last guy asked why she wouldn't wait on him since she was standing right there! I told him I didn't know. He had been in the store long enough to see her call me over at least 2 times before him though so I hope he didn't think it was personal. On the first night I closed with her, I worked 4.5 hours. In that length of time she took 4 15 min. breaks and I only really saw her check out 1 customer. I didn't say anything to the other managers because I still think I am new and maybe they are close friends and who wants to rock the boat ya know? But then I start hearing that the store manager is having problems getting anyone to work w/ her because she is so lazy. Apparently she was doing this to everyone...and this also explained how I was getting so many hours, if she was the Mgr. on Duty (MOD for short) then most people just called in or tried to switch w/ someone so they wouldn't have to work w/ her. Well, when people started speaking up, the Mgr. started looking into it and she was given a written warning. Fast forward a few months, Asst. Mgr is sent to help out a store in another state. She doesn't know anyone there but proceeds to tell them things about her personal life that...let's just say were pretty shocking to those ladies and again our Mgr. had to write her up. Basically the company has a 3 strike and your out kind of rule. So she was on her last leg the beginning of May... the Mgr. called me at home one Sat. afternoon and asked me to consider going into management. (I gotta say that the second week I worked there Sugarbritches told me I would be in management within 6 months. I laughed but told Mgr. what he said!) Evidently she had remembered what I told her and wanted to know if I would seriously consider it. She gave me a little info about the job, pay and benefits and told me to let her know...no rush but she was trying to replace asst.mgr before she lost all her other associates. I talked to SB and then I told her I would do it. Fast forward a few weeks, all this time Mgr. has been looking for something, anything to give the girl her 3rd strike. She finally gets it last week while I was on vacation & I was officially offered the position last Weds. I started training yesterday and I gotta say if I get the paperwork aspect down I think I am really going to like it!
As a special bonus, I can get health ins. in 90 days...so in 91 days I am going to call about having the gastric bypass surgery! I am very excited!

Has it ever...
been so long between posts that you just don't know how to catch everyone up? It gets that way for me here. I want to tell you all about the stepmonster drama, my new job and our adventures at bike week but I really don't know where to begin. I think I'll leave out the stepmonster drama because it's just too pathetic really; but, I'm going to make myself post something everyday even if it's just a "To-Do" list until I get back in the groove of posting.

100 years...
Today the town I work in celebrated their 100th year! It's a small town...population < class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fliers to hand out for different ministries in the church. I am sure you're thinking 2 things...1. She goes to church? and 2. Why wait so late to work on those fliers? Well, I must say I am offended by your first question! *L* And your second question gets me a little touchy as well. You see I would not have been up at 4:30 in the AM if certain people who shall remain nameless would have turned in their info in a timely manner! UGH! Oh well, I was able to put a little something together and everyone seemed happy with it.
As far as small town celebrations go, this one was even smaller than you can imagine! There were only 7 booths and 4 of those were churches! *LOL* The best thing I can say about the day was that the weather was AWESOME! High 70's w/ a slight breeze. Perfect Festival weather.
I was hoping to come home and take a nap but had no such luck. The manager from my Second Job called and asked me to come in for another lady whose mother had been taken to the hospital yesterday. SAINT that I am I decided to go. I get there and who do I see? Lady I am working for! Could someone have called me? NOPE. #3 Manager (whom I don't like working with) asked me to stay and send other lady home...other lady didn't want to go home...#3 Mgr. only wanted me to stay because she knows other lady is new and she would have to actually work if I didn't stay. I left 2 hrs. later and now I am ready to crash!
I am going to pull on my pj's and curl up on the sofa and pray there is nothing good on TV so I will fall right to sleep! *LOL*
Have a great weekend y'all!

Senseless Tragedy
I have been watching the news the last few days and I can't help but wonder why? Why would this guy choose to handle whatever disappointment life sent his way by going on a killing spree? I also wonder when did people lose their coping mechanism? Does that question make sense? What I mean is when did our society start to think that the best way to handle, being made fun of, dumped, or just having an all around sucky life, is start shooting innocent people? I could almost understand if these shooters were targeting the people who hurt them, but in most instances the victims never knew the attacker.
On the flip side you have people who have truly suffered at the hands of those who supposedly love them. I think of those children who were locked up in cages, lived in their own excrement, etc. Most of those people go on to lead extraordinarily normal lives. Where did their strength come from? Maybe we should come up with video games like that. The object of the game would be to SURVIVE without doing harm to others! Imagine the concept! Maybe then people wouldn't look at killing innocent people as just another way to deal with their problems.
Remember to say a prayer for the families of all the victims in this tragedy as well as the parents of the shooter. I can only imagine the shame and pain they must feel.

How do you like the new look?
A friend introduced me to Revka who makes custom headers for blogs. She even showed me how to add links to other blogs I read. (I know! Welcome to the 20th century! *G*) I spend way too much time on the computer some days but if you check out these blogs I am sure you will see why!
I'll try to get Revka's link up in a few so you can check her out. She was doing 25 free headers to get her name out there so if you're interested I am sure she can help you out!

I know...I know....
I know it's been awhile since I posted. Too much drama to tell full story but the Cliff Notes version goes something like this.....
Stepmonster moves out w/ Sorry No Good for Nothing Boyfriend (AKA THE NEIGHBOR)March 1st...calls a week ago, needs to come home because he is cheating, lying and has spent rent money on drugs...changes her mind the same day....calls 2 days later...definitely coming home...can't pay rent, already behind on all bills and he has left her! Tells her it is all her fault because she is too clingy!!!!
I am trying to help her get a payment schedule together so that she can find somewhere to live on her own. Could be 6 months to a year before I get my house back!
I just gotta say the Month of March was a good month at the Bay but April ain't looking so hot! *G*

Who knew this could kill you?
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Ten employees of a Sacramento radio station have been fired after a participant in a water-drinking contest died last week, a station official told KCRA 3 on Tuesday. Management at 107.9 The End earlier said the Morning Rave show had been taken off the air indefinitely.
The station would not name those who had lost their jobs over the contest, but issued the following statement:
"Effective immediately, the Morning Rave program is cancelled and 10 employees are no longer with the station," John Geary, Vice President Entercom Sacramento.
Jennifer Strange, 28, died Friday after she took part in a station competition in an effort to win a Nintendo Wii video game system.
Strange, a mother of three, did not win. But later that afternoon, she was found dead at her Rancho Cordova home. A preliminary report said she showed signs of water intoxication.
Contestants signed a waiver before taking part in the competition, but the winner of the game said participants were never alerted to the dangers.
A listener who said she is a nurse called the show and warned the deejays on air of the risks of the game.
Timothy O'Connor, a personal injury attorney, called the waiver "meaningless" and said the radio station still shares some responsibility.
"Waivers deal with the risk of an activity," O'Connor said. "Nobody drinks a glass of water and thinks, 'This can kill me'."
I know I would not have thought so....would you?

Releasing Stepmonster out into the Wild!
I have hestiated writing this post for fear it may not come true....but maybe by putting it out there in the universe I can will it into existence!
A little background...
We came home from the Fabulous Vacation to an email from "The (ex-)neighbor's" mom. She just wanted to thank us for her vacation. It seems that while we were away we had allowed her son to come "shack-up" (that's a southern term for living together while not married...just in case you needed a translation *G*) w/ stepmonster. Oh and he got to bring his yapping dog too! We are too kind! I was 6 levels of pissed off before I even finshed the email. I told SB who was also angry but not as mad as me. UNTIL....while talking to Stepmonster (SM here on out) I mention that he could have taken anything in the house while we were gone. SB runs to our room and starts yelling "Oh Hell no!" I am almost laughing and say "You're kidding..he really didn't take something" Oh but he did....SB's shotgun was missing! We looked all over the house but could not find it. I emailed the mother and told her that we called the police to file a report and to expect a visit from the sherriff's office. I was shocked to get an email back from her saying that although the gun was not at her house she had no doubts he probably took it. She also began telling us, through SEVERAL emails over the next few days, that her son was no good and SM should "run not walk as far away from him as she could!" That's nice of a mom to say huh? We also spoke to her closest friend who just happened to be home on leave from the Air Force while we were gone. She told us that Boyfriend drove our vehicles w/out our permission. Even if we had known he was at our home we would not have allowed that because he HAS NO LICENSE DUE TO A DWI!
I spoke to several family members on both sides of the famiy and our preacher about what we should do. EVERY ONE of them said "You need to make her find a place of her own" So I went to SB and said that's what we're going to do. He was less than thrilled but after telling him that I wasn't going to compromise on IF she could stay but only on HOW LONG she could stay, he came around.
We sat her down and explained to her that we could no longer trust her to be alone in our home and among other things we were making her responsible for replacing the gun...she should get Boyfriend to help pay...but ultimately it was up to her. She needed to get her car put in her name and get her own insrance. She also had until the end of April to save up for a place to live and GET OUT! In case you think we are kicking out a child...let me just say she will be 22 next month. She should already be gone as far as I am concerned but SB is a softy when it comes to his only daughter.
So, as of April 30th SB & I will be alone at the Bay! YEAH!
Only 120 days to go....but whose counting?
