I went to an Ironbirds game tonight. The Ironbirds are the Orioles' Single A farm team. Minor ball is fun. We left in the 7th inning, with the team up 2-0. I hope they won ( Read more... )

My three day weekend was really great. Jenny and Emilio's wedding was so beautiful. The ceremony was outdoors and they just had the perfect day for it. The reception was a blast, with most of the Barnes & Noble crew out on the dance floor almost the entire time. And we Rickrolled the wedding, requesting Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up and ( Read more... )

It was Inspirational songs tonight on American Idol. And they did it without being too schmaltzy, if you know what I mean. I loved David Cook, Jason Castro, and Brooke White. Michael Johns did great as well. And Syesha Mercado, for the first time, blew me away. Randy said he didn't feel like she connected with the audience, but she did with me ( Read more... )

I just realized a problem with my schedule. I'm 99% sure that I asked off for this weekend. I have a wedding on Saturday and a bridal shower on Sunday. I'm almost positive I asked off for both days. In fact, I am positive because I asked off for the wedding first and had made sure to ask off for Sunday since I knew I'd be out late on Saturday ( Read more... )

I'll be off to the game soon. Tina and I will be taking in all the festivities prior to the game. My only wish is that it wasn't raining. Hopefully, it'll clear up by the afternoon ( Read more... )

The day got better yesterday. Closing went off without a hitch. It was busy and lots of teens were roaming the place, but the store wasn't a mess at all. And it was a good crew, so we were out relatively early ( Read more... )

It was a glorious day off today. Well, not glorious in that anything monumental happened. Just glorious in that I was off ( Read more... )

The Ravens win!!! The Ravens win!!! It wasn't a rollicking win and if it wasn't for Matt Stover, we'd have lost, but it's a win and I'll take it. We went to Damon's and watched the game there. We ate round after round of appetizers. It was a lot of fun, despite the heart attack the Ravens nearly gave me ( Read more... )

I had fun at the Ironbirds game tonight. There wasn't a large group of us B&Ners since some people flaked out on us. But it was fun. I definitely want to do it again sometime.

And now, I'm on a three day weekend, courtesy of my most awesome manager. Woohoo!! I'll be seeing 3:10 to Yuma tomorrow night with a bunch from work tomorrow night. ( Read more... )

Well, my day got off to a rip-roaring start! I misread my schedule and got to work late. That sucks since I was the opening manager. Rob called me just as I was waking up. I called him back after realizing my mistake and hightailed it out of the house. Luckily, I only live ten minutes from the store. :::sigh::: I have never done that...ever ( Read more... )
