Bryan turns the big THREE OHHH

I am so tired I cant even keep my eyes open, but I did want to share these pictures of the suprise party for Bryan's 30th birthday.

Times-They are a changing.....

My cheese is moving........
So, if you know me at all, you know I have worked nights at the APC for 2 years now. Go to work at 3:30 pm and get off at 11:30 pm. I have also been working 30 hours a week during the day at a gift shop downtown. That is all about to change.

I'm sitting in my cubicle at work a couple Tuesdays ago and all of the sudden this voice in my head (DO NOT LAUGH) told me I needed to transfer to the day shift. I'm thinkin "NO, I do not want to get up that early, NO I do not want to take a cut in pay, NO I do not want to leave my nighttime work friends. The voice says you have to go to days. WTF.......I have never wanted to go to days = WHY. No reason, just go to days. So at break I call Norman and see what he thinks (besides the fact that I'm crazy) - he says we'll tighten our belts but we can do it. Now, in the past, if someone requested to go to the day shift, it took weeks, months, or even longer. So, I'm thinkin, I'll request to go to days and maybe sometime next year I'll actually go. So back to my cubicle I go, I email my supervisor my request to transfer.

THE NEXT DAY, the supervisor's supervisor comes to me and says "so you want to go to days" - I'm like "yeah" and he says "WHEN" . OMG what do mean "WHEN" you mean I can go now - yep you can go now - OH NO. So I say I'll go in 2 weeks-gotta give the day job boss some notice to hopefully change my schedule so I can keep working downtown too.

OMG-I'm gonna have to get up at 5:45 AM, I must be crazy. I'm not a morning person, I cant smile in the morning, I cant be nice in the morning- what am I gonna do. Then I start thinkin, I'll be getting off work while it is still daylight - WOW. I'll get to watch my favorite shows (that I've missed for 2 years) - WOW. I'll get to see my husband more than 2 nights a week - WOW. Ok so some good with the bad. The very worst thing is that I have some of the greatest friends at work on the night shift and I am going to miss them terribly. But the good to that is that some of those wonderful people have gone to days in the past so I will get to see them now.

The day job, well it is down to just Saturdays for now-but that's ok, I will luxuriate in some time off. My Cheese is moving - big time.

Oh, if you're wondering about the picture of the sofa, it is for sale. Nina has two of them. Very retro/cool. She needs to downsize to just a love seat. Let me know if your interested. Have a wonderful day - This weekend is supposed to be RAIN FREE yeah!!!!!!!

Whew, its over

After weeks of getting ready, the yard sale/glassware sale is finally over. What a job. If I ever say I am going to have another one, somebody slap me please. Nina and I worked so hard getting it set up, we were exhausted when we shut the doors on Saturday. Wish we could have sold everything - but that never happens. The Salvation Army will be getting a chunk of the leftover yard sale stuff and I guess I'll take everyone's advice and start ebaying the glass ware.

So, I've decided to go to the day shift at work. That will be strange - getting up in the wee hours of the morning and getting off work while the sun is still shining. I'm excited. I just hope I can continue to work at my part time job - just in the evenings instead of the mornings- keeping my fingers crossed they can accommodate my new schedule.

It is a cold, rainy, depressing day here in Hot Springs. The kind of day you just want to stay curled up in bed under the covers but since I have some time, I better enter some Coke Codes. I've got a box of caps just waiting for me. Have a great day all.
