A DAY IN THE LIFE ............

Wow, the last 3 days have been nuts. Here is an example of my day:

Midnight:
Just got home from work, took a shower now go to bed

2:30 a.m.
wake up to go pee

7:15 a.m.
alarm goes off and I have slept all of maybe 3 hours (on & off) so I hit the snooze button (3 times)

7:45 a.m.
Get up, wash/blow dry hair, put make up on, brush teeth, switch purses from night before, get dressed, check the newspaper headlines

8:20 a.m.
out the door, stop at SONIC for a cherry vanilla diet coke and jr. breakfast burrito then head downtown and park on the top level of the parking garage. Back my car into a spot, then head down the 4 flights of stairs and up the street to the store.

9:00 - 2:30
Ring up sales, talk to customers, dust shelves, dust shelves and dust shelves then fold t-shirts, fold t-shirts and fold t-shirts some more.

2:30
Run down the street, walk up the 4 flights of stairs, get in my car (which by now is 150 degrees inside and I already can't breathe from climbing the stairs). Hurry out of the parking garage and head to WENDYS (on Grand Ave.) for a jr. bacon cheeseburger. Wolfe down the cheeseburger while heading home.

2:40 p.m.
get home, check the mail, kiss the dog, make my lunch for the night job, brush my hair, go pee

3:00 - 11:30
work at the night job which I absolutely HATE and I just found out that next week we are going to 10 hour days until further notice - Oh NO

My new "part time" job

Happy Monday (not possible huh) - ok, anyway I started my new part time job yesterday. The picture above shows the store downtown where I will be working - it is National Park Gifts & Souvenirs. I worked yesterday from 12:30 til 7:00 and had a ball. I have a lot to learn but I am looking forward to it. I just wrote down my hours for this week and added them up - uh it came to 40 hours OMG this may be harder than I thought. This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and I will be working all 3 days and I bet we will be busy - as long as it doesn't rain. I can't wait. Yesterday Nina, Conner, Annissa and Samuel came downtown to see me - what a nice surprise. We went to Bubbalous for lunch and I ate almost all of Conner's grilled cheese sandwich - half of his fries and then had a Chocolate Shake - YUMMY.

Well, folks, I gotta get ready for my "full-time" job - at "you know where" in the freezer (aka "book print") :( :( :(

S. H. I. T.

Oh, don't get your panties all in wad - I'm not being nasty:

Sure
Happy
It's
Thursday

but really wish it was Friday. This is another one I like. Saw it at Paula Dean's restaurant/store:

S. L. U. T. S.

This is SO me....

Southern
Ladies
Under
Tremendous
Stress

OH YEAH I'm a SLUTS

Have a good day :)

It's just Wednesday

Oh, this was too cute and I had to share. I wish I had the imagination to come up with the cute captions they put on all the dog and cat pictures at icanhascheezburger.com. Well, I had my interview today for a part-time job to work days & weekends. I got the job and think I am gonna work my butt off but I will have fun too. I'm gonna save for a new & improved digital camera and possibly a photo printer as well. Do you watch Survivor or American Idol? Well, I work nights so I don't get to watch them when they are on but Norman tapes Survivor for me and I watch the idols on-line the next day. The survivors are idiots - they should have voted off Coach - I just can't stand that man and I would have to boycott future survivor seasons if he wins. Adam needs to be the next american idol. He is awesome - I know - he screams a bit too much when he sings (oh ok more than "a bit") but he is so cool. I am really upset about the news on Jon & Kate plus 8 - I hate that they are having problems - I love that show but it sounds like they just got to caught up in all the hoopla of being tv stars and "what else can we get for free". Bummer. That's all for today - Happy Wednesday - be back soon.

More wedding pictures

Here we have the happy couple in front of the restaurant where we had dinner. I think we had 14 for dinner. The Belle Arti was the perfect place for the wedding dinner. Downtown Hot Springs in a beautiful old building. The service was great and they had even set up a separate room as a small chapel with chairs just in case the rain was a problem. That was really great. Now here we have Christopher carrying Nina down the stairs after they said their "I Do's. He carried her all the way to the waiting carriage - it was so sweet, and it was a surprise. You should have seen all of us with cameras running around trying to get shots of this.

And this is a shot of the actual place the ceremony was held. It is on bath house row between the Fordyce Bath House and the Maurice Bath House.

Now, so far these pictures have come from my camera which is an older model. Some of the other cameras used will have much better pictures and I hope to be able to post some of those soon. (See the lady in the black dress above - she had a NICE camera - I can't wait to get a hold of those pictures, she is the ministers daughter). I think I am gonna use the money I make on my summer job to buy a newer/better camera.

Sneak Peak

Just got home from the wedding festivities and couldn't wait to post at least one picture of the newly wedded couple. Isn't she gorgeous? I kept telling her she looked like a movie star. She rode like a princess in the carriage to the ceremony (it sprinkled on us - no heavy downpours). Yes she was a few minutes late, but that's just Nina. The ceremony was short and sweet (lots of umbrellas). Chris then carried his bride down the stairs to the waiting carriage where they took a ride around town. They were dropped off at the Belle Arte where we were waiting. We had a wonderful dinner then went to the Embassy Suites for a drink then us old folks left the young'uns to their partying.

More tomorrow.....

I'm OLD

Today is my birthday and I just feel old and tired. I blew out the candle on my imaginary birthday cake and wished for more hair. It sucks to be a woman losing your hair. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I know men go through it all the time - but this is about me and I don't care. Kinda cranky today (bad headache that wont go away) but it will get better. I have the day off work tomorrow so a 3 day weekend coming up !! I got a SONIC Card from my daddy & Carol - WAHOO. When you get a SONIC card, you should always register it on "my sonic card.com" cuz then they send you an email with a coupon for a freebie. So I registered my card, then went out to my car where I had about 20 or so used SONIC cards and there were about 8 of them I had not registered, so I registered them too and got more freebies and even found about 5 cards with little balances on them - another WAHOO. (Sometimes) it doesn't take much to make me happy. Here are my other birthday wishes (yes I realize that most are impossible - but it's ok to wish)

1. A day job that I love, that loves me, that pays what I need and has great benefits
2. All the wrinkles on my face to disappear
3. Turkey neck to disappear
4. NO RAIN ON SATURDAY
5. Lose the flab (everywhere)
6. Dinner at Outback
7. Lunch at Joses
8. Paula to show up for the wedding
9. Learn how to sleep through the night
10. Learn to love vegetables (hahahahahahahaha)

Have a good one, see ya round the bend.

Somebody loves me....

Ain't they pretty? Connor Jordan brought these to me on Sunday so I thought I would share them with you too.

Sandra Sue, so good to have you visit. Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. You know us bloggers just "live" for comments. I hear you are looking terrific. You're gonna wanto to be borrowing some of my clothes soon :)

Norman asked me today what I wanted for my birthday - DUH

SONIC SONIC SONIC SONIC SONIC

OOOPs I must have hit the "duplicate" key.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Sunday Supper

Another Sunday, another visit from Connor Jordan. It may look like he doesn't like the pudding - but he does (so do I). The grown ups had pizza and Connor had Kid Cuisine.

Not much to update on the wedding, we just keep watching the weather reports hoping for NO RAIN. I guess Nina & Chris have everything under control. Found out "Aunt" Barbara is coming - Yeah - that is great. Still haven't heard from others - maybe they will just show up and suprise us :)

My daddy is having cataract surgery tomorrow - FINALLY. I guess it must have gotten to the point to where he couldn't see the golf ball any more.

Oh btw - just in case you were wondering, I STILL HATE #$&*$@ BOOKPRINT.

Here He is .....

We haven't had a good picture of Connor Jordan in quite some time so here is a recent one, taken just last Sunday. He is very camera shy and I have a super hard time getting him to look at the camera. Oh by the way, Nina found some wedding shoes - Yeah. Now we are worried about the weather. It seems the weather channel is predicting isolated thundershowers for next Saturday - which you all know is the BIG DAY. Today is rainy, stormy and just plain ugly so Norman is watching the Golf Tournament and I am entering Sweepstakes (my other computer keeps dying on me so I thought I would take a break and BLOG.) I think I have the Internet Explorer Operation Aborted problem fixed. I had added some music to the blog and I guess IE didn't approve so I took it off. I hope that works. I can't believe it is May already - time to start Christmas Shopping (NOT) but if you need a bathing suit NOW is the time to buy, cuz they will be gone come summer. I guess I'll go watch the golf tournament, maybe take a nap. Ya'all have a good one, ya hear.

The Happy Couple

Here they are - the future Mr. & Mrs. Christopher Hallerberg. What a great picture, this was taken on Easter this year at Cracker Barrel. Just wait - Soon I will have wedding pictures to post !! The wedding is next Saturday May 9 in downtown Hot Springs. Nina finally got herself a "good un" as they say here in hicksville. Now if she could just find some "wedding" shoes".
