on living and things
So I'm all moved into Emma's house. Its a little strange, when I wake up in the morning I get kind of freaked out until I realize that I'm in my bed in my new house and not in my bed in my old house. So far its been alright, her parents are out of town and I think thats what is making it okay. It might get a little awkward when they come back, but whatever, I'll just have to get over that. I haven't finished unpacking yet, so there are still boxes in my room and in the garage. I never realized how much stuff I had until I have to unpack it all and find a place for it. My room isn't tiny, but I don't have much storage space. I need to buy a shelf for my closet and get some stuff to put on the walls so I can hang my purses and scarves and stuff that need to be hung. I think a trip to Ikea is in order.
For work stuff, our store manager has gone to another store. It was a promotion, so I'm extremely happy for her, but at the same time we lost our manager so its been kind of stressful. Right now I am the acting store manager, so its all a numbers game: what can make us the most money? what can I change on the sales floor to increase traffic? how can i boost our transactions? Stuff like that drives me crazy. I just like to get on the floor and sell, not worry about business stuff. But for the next 3 weeks or so, until we get a new manager, I have to play their game. I get a slight pay increase, which will be nice, seeing as I have a car payment and insurance to worry about now.
I miss my parents. I haven't really said anything to anyone about it, but I do. Its weird not being able to see them whenever I want. Like on Sunday, I couldn't watch the Raiders game with my dad, because hes 1400 miles away. I am such a daddy's girl, its ridiculous. We were on the phone talking about nothing for half an hour the other day, just talking about how they have extra drawers in the kitchen and nothing to put in them, or how the cable was installed and they have Tivo now (I'd been trying to get them to Tivo for 2 years and now that I'm not there, they get it). They've been trying to entice me to move out there, offering me stuff and trying to bribe me. I told them I'd think about it, I'm just not ready for that big of a move. It was hard enough leaving the house and moving here. I think my brother wants to move out there in a year or so, so I guess I have until then to think.
So the baby is crawling now. Well, she has been for a couple weeks, but I haven't written about her since then! She is also pulling herself up, and standing. We think she'll be walking by her birthday, which is so soon! I can't believe she'll be a year old in December. Its madness! I want to take her trick-or-treating for Halloween, but I don't know if my brother wants her to go. Its not like she'll get any of the candy! Its for us! I thought she'd be cute as a little Yoda. Or a bumblebee. She'd be cute as anything, just cuz she is so damn cute. Well I suppose I'd better sign off, I've written a novel.
