i have a few things to say... like multiple update-style... but i'm definitely going to start with one of the gooder stuff in life today, cause gooder stuff is good, and if i'm going to share anything, i want it to be good.
i drove mommy to work this morning so i could have her car.
then i came home and took a nap :-D
and then i went back and mommy took me out for lunch at this mexican place in chanhassen - rey aztecas. kinda like los aztecas in dubuque, but not quite as good (close though).
then she took me to kowalsky's market for the first time... it's like byerley's, only smaller and with more interesting things.
then i went to the mall and pretty much finished my christmas shopping... at least for the fam.
then i went back to church and played the grand piano for a while, and pastor paul heard me playing some elton john and came in and sang with me :-D
and then i went to work at 6.
and i worked for 5.75 hours
having already worked 31.25 hours this week
so that means i can work 3 hours tomorrow.
hardly seems worth it, but you know.
oh, and i definitely have a quote from when we were zoning the one-spot after close tonight
"Oh, I get it. Look! I'm a pen!"
-Jennifer, 12/22/05
by the time 11:30 rolled around, we were all losing our minds... which is probably why it seemed so damn funny at the time...
i heard this christmas song on the radio today
it made me smile, and kinda want to cry
I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"
But it's folly when you volley for position
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
To ideas meant to free us
If you could see us, then you'd listen
Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages
There's no union
We're only through when we outdo the competition
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
Make some noise
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping
And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement
But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
Make some noise
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
You look at yourself
You're an elf
And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition
We, the undersigned, feel undermined
Let's redefine "employment"
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
Make some noise
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
it kinda made me think of hermey
but it is kinda sad
oh, and
the moment i fell in love with my new hair product combo:
i woke up this morning,
having washed my hair before work yesterday,
then walked to work, wearing a scarf,
then worked as a cart attendant for a fair portion of the day, wearing a hat,
then slept on my hair,
and i ran my fingers through it.
that's right... before i even brushed it this morning, i could run my fingers through it.
target brand pyrithione zinc dandruff shampoo for everyday cleansing
infusium 23 frizz control shampoo
garnier fructis fortifying deep conditioning sleek and shine 3-minute masque
infusium 23 frizz control conditioner
herbal essences citrus lift let loose detangling spray
infusium 23 complete moisture restoration treatment
mmm
there was an apprehension at work today.
i guess i don't know if that qualifies for "gooder stuff", but it did make life interesting.
it was an 87-year-old russian woman (?!?)
apparently she is (was) a regular in our store - always took the southwest metro bus to do her shopping
but we found out that she actually lives 4 blocks from the minnetonka supertarget
uhm... yeah... can't imagine why she came all this way to shop
oh wait
it's probably because she didn't feel comfy shoplifting in the neighborhood store.
$98 worth of merchandise, and it was mostly small stuff
but she was being really friggin dumb about it
like
putting stuff in her bag under her coat and continuously messing with the coat
putting stuff in tupperware
stuffing random shit into other random shit (i.e. almonds in margarita mix (?!?))
and finally taking the whole damn cart into the restroom after checking out (and she went through the lane of a kid who was training... i hope he doesn't know, cause that could kinda suck on the first day)
so, yeah, she got caught
and if she comes onto target property she can be arrested for trespassing
ha
any target
ha ha
i should go steal my mom's car and run to the atm
cause if i don't do it now, i won't get a chance
ever
well... not for a while
too long
cause i'm on foot tomorrow :-P
and when i get back i think i'm gonna have some ice cream
cause, well, i want some
