the lines on the map moved from side to side...
so i assume that because sara has finally updated i shall do so as well... i always have to do what sara does damn it... and i am sure that i will then editcopyeditpaste this on to myspace so that i can say that i updated that as well... i am way cooler than you think...
this week is the week from hell... i am working in maybee ten hours a day but i have a two hour lunch... it's miserable.. honestly and seriously... it's in the middle of the country, its further away then newport and i think more so than monroe, not by much... this morning i had to audit the stamp stock with jan which wasn't bad as we were in maybee and it's small so there was no a large amount to count... then it was time to break down the mail and damn the office and it's super small area... it's the worlds smallest post office... it's about the size of your average dairy queen... it's so small that if you have to apc's of mail you have to take one outside so that you have room to open and move the other about the work floor... then you have to dodge the desk and the carrier cases and the hampers... bastards... the box area is horrid as they don't use the damn box numbers so you have to look them all up and it takes ages... it's usually slow but for some reason it was uber busy today... lets home the rest of the week slows down... please.
i knit a christmas washcloth while on my two hour lunch today... it don't like it but then what does it matter if i am going to use it to clean things such as dirty dogs or what not... i started a second one with a pattern that is uber simple but nice to look at... i may use it as one of my stitchmysquare trades... it's also in christmas colors on my little kids starter needles (size 7's that i bought for $2 bucks over the weekend to keep in the car for emergency knitting) ... it's the ever so common feather and fan stitch... and i like the way it's turning out... simple stitch but it has a good final look... back to the emergency knitting... i was not kidding... there are times when i find myself with no needles and time on my hand... then what am i to do? some times you get stuck at work (and forced to take a long lunch so they can keep you FOREVER) or at the doctors office or just waiting for someone... then i have no needles with me because all my nice bamboo are at home in their little case... so then what? now i have these mini kids needles... they are platsic (hate plastic needles!) but i don't care if i lose one or one runs away to make baby needles with the big size 13... so now i have emergency needles and a bit of yarn in the car... and if i ever break down i can knit myself to saftey or atleast a blankie to keep warm with...
last night i made the best cookies of my cookie career... i always had issues with the cookies getting hard or crunchy a few hours after cooling... a fantastic mom (and cookie maker) that i knew made the best chocolate chip cookies that stayed semi chewy and uber tasty... so i begged for the recipe and a very nice person passed it along to me... i started them last night and was super impressed at how well they turned out... besides the chips i added m&m's and coconut... i took some to work and everyone was going nuts over them... johnny took a few with him and they were gone in minutes... so i think i am going to make these again for thanksgiving to take to gram's and maybe a few for at john's parents house... then of course i will have to send beth some or she might beat me... so thank you for passing the answer to my cookie madness to me... i appreciate it greatly...
speaking of thanksgiving... i don't know what time we are going to gram's but we are going to eat well... aunt becky is going to be cooking once agan and she also makes a tasty meal (i've started dreaming of the tasty christmas brunch she makes every year) then after gram's we are moving on down the road to johnny's parents were lisa will stuff us full of all her tasty eats that she makes... this woman cooks enough for ten people and there are only five of us (plus kaya, because yes the dog gets a whole plate made up!)... johnny is making two pumpkin pies, one for each stop... and we are going to have all the cookies plus whatever desserts my dad picks up for gram's... and when my dad is in charge you know that they are going to be oh so good...
tomorrow is major sara and julie tv night... we should go get the hair dye so that i can work on that while we watch our shows (that is if you still want your hair dyed... you let me know...) poor sara is dying...sars or something... nothign a little hair dye can't fix... speaking of hair dye i have to run up to my salon and take care of a few things... shit i better call the damn bank to make sure all is well... i need to start writing all this down... anyone have a pen?
my cat is climbing my christmas tree... eoghan is trying to eat it while sleeping under it and maddie could care less... she just wants to know what the hell the other two are doing in/under it... my animals are freaking nuts...
in other news its finally open enrollment at the post office for benefits... i have my health plan but i never signed up for the dental/vision plans that are offered... i got this thing in the mail about it today so now i need to read it.. and pick a plan and get my eyes checked so i can get new glasses and stop running into things and squinting when i can't read steet signs... plus dr wein says that it will help with my headaches...
speaking of headaches it's time to chase the cat off of my little snowman area... she's playing godzilla and knocking them all around... i might cry if i have to set them up for the tenth time today... then its bed time so that i can go cry, i mean work, in maybee again... and by the way i hate going to work and it's dark and leaving work for home and it's dark... lack of light makes me bitter
