Enjoying Friends...

Tonight, my husband and I went to a movie and dinner with our two best friends. We met right in the middle between our two houses, and went to see Resident Evil: Afterlife and then to Olive Garden for dinner. I know what your thinking, "Who Cares!" But, the point I am trying to make is that meeting up with friends for simple things like movies, and dinners is what keeps us going. I have had a rough month or so, and just getting together with them, talking about other things like their pregnancy, or the UFC, school, and others just makes me feel at ease. It helps me remember that there are more important things in life than jobs. You need people in your life to sometimes help you sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment. Although the movie sucked, and disappointed us all, dinner was wonderful and it was great to see one another. We have all been friends for a long time, and it just makes me so happy that we are still very close to one another even though we are all doing very different things. I love having friends that know everything, understand us, and want to spend time with us more than just once a month. It's interesting to see sometimes how friendships work, last, and end. Finally, I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all my friends near and close, and how I love all of them!

P.S. - I have my first shift at The Family Dollar tomorrow! Wish me luck! I hope that I can stay awake for an 8 hour shift, and that my feet won't give out on me! haha

Remembering 9/11....

I just wanted to say thank you to all those people out there who serve our country, and protect us day and night. 9 years ago, I was sitting in my 7th grade study hall, when we heard people running through the halls, thats when my teacher went out to investigate and he found out what was going on. He came back into the classroom and turned on our tv. What we saw was horrifying, surreal, and very very sad. I saw the second world trade center tower fall, and I saw people jumping out of the building, and I saw debris crashing to the ground in NYC. As a 7th grader, I was in shock, to me the U.S. was impenetrable. I really never thought that something like that could happen to my country. I was shocked, appalled, and confused. I realize now how naive I was, and how my judgement and view on life was forever changed that day. I really have no idea whether it was the planes that knocked the to...

How Rude!

As of recently, I was hired and took a Customer Service Associate position at Lowe's. Which at first, I thought was just really a glorified cashier. As it turns out, we do a lot more than just ring customers out with their purchases. As a customer service associate, we ring customers out, we handle customer complaints, requests, problems, inquiries, we handle the phones, we find, print, and call about customer's order that were special ordered, or an internet order, or just ordered. We do a lot, and sometimes it gets very busy and crazy. What I really want to write about concerning my job was how to me it seems that people have just lost their ability to be pleasant, nice, and gracious to the people they are buying products from. I had so many customers be rude to me today, that it got me wondering, (and using Full House phrases), "Why are we so rude?" I know that I don't have a very important job, but I am still a person that should be treated with respect wh...

Book # 38 Water for Elephants

Thanks to a co-worker who lent me the book, and friends and family that told me how amazing this book was, I finally read, Water for Elephants , by Sara Gruen. I have been hearing rave reviews from friends, family, coworkers, online sites, and other blogs about this book, and I have to say that I agree whole-heartedly. This is a wonderful book about love, life, the circus, and how connected people can become with each other and animals in such a short time. It's a stunning tale of the carnival and circus people of a time long ago, and how their lives revolved around the circus, the performers, the workmen, the animals, and the crowds. I loved all the characters in this book, and it was really interesting going from the past to the present with the main character. The love between Marlena and Jacob is so wonderful, and pure that it's a great part of this book. I also love how involved and invested Jacob becomes with the animals and some people in the circus. It's a tale of...
