holiday recap...
apparently i'm so used to being up early, i can't sleep past nine am...and i went to bed after 130am...argh. oh well. i feel rested, at least.
here's what happened yesterday:
t'was slow-ish in the store...got some things mostly done, before i left. mostly just relaxed and had fun, and helped what few customers came in.
i didn't run payroll, so i hope that tary did. i'm sure she did. she's a smart girl. :D especially considering i'd gone thru and confirmed most folks already...should have been easy.
i left around 330, and found the sibling, and we went to my house and packed up prezzies. shannon's didn't come in...like it should have. i'm beginning to think that it is Not coming. i have to check my credit card info, and see what they hell is going on.
i've decided i'll just pay that bil that came into the store, with my credit card. t'would be the easiest thing to do. and just be uber mindful not to do that again. i hate being so tired that i make mistakes like that.
anyway, we get on the road, which was kind of an ordeal, but not too to bad, and head down to the parents' house.
takes not as long as i thought, but who knows? i might have fallen asleep.
we hang out, and finish getting dinner ready. tonya brought two desserts from her work...a cheesecake and a spice cake. wow!! and apparently, not only does her company supply the Cherry Bean, it also supplies Gloria Jean's, too!! how funny!
they are still talking about selling the house, but now it seems that jason and shannon might be considering a move to soledad, to be closer to work, and it would be mom and dad that move to washington. how it became washington, agian, i have no idea, since on turkey day and when i got an email about it, they were all still considering oregon, *shrugs* who knows??
ton sez they are serious this time, but honestly, i doubt it. they've been saying they want to move, practically since we moved back from Idaho. i don't find it a likely thing to happen. especially mom and dad moving together, without one of us...they'll kill each other.
gramma got us some chocs and cups that have glowy candles when they are hot, on them...which was super cute and sweet of her.
i got alcohol! woot. two bottles of wine, two bottles of the Rose's martini mixes, a Kahlua fun pack, that comes with 4 mini bar Stolis! woohoo!! NYE is going to ROCK!!
a couple shirts, a kick ass mouse pad that looks like a tiger rug thingy...mom gave me her latte/espresso machine, and the lil' grinder!! yay!! since we have beans to grind, too, that makes me uber happy! phillip was saying he'd almost bought the exact same one the other day. heehee. mom's so cute.
my calender is a victorian paper goods type calender...WOOT!! totally awesome! so that means, thus far, we'll have a Fruits Basket calender, a Victorian one, and an Orlando one, heehee. fabulous!
oh i found a Yuki plus the other day, completely by accident at Borders!!! OMFG!! phillip almost died when i gave it to him, heehee. it was so kewl.
sometimes, i wish i worked at borders, *sighs* i really like that place. plus, they own my mom's store...but supposedly barnes and noble is better...sometimes i agree with that, other times not. i really really hope my brother's book came in.
i have GOT to do all my mailing this week!! omg!! hell, i'm thinking of cheating and mailing one or two things from work, too. *smacks hands* can't help it. it does cross my mind.
especially things for justin's parents/family...that would be local and easy...'course i could just go drop it off, and stuffs...that wouldn't be such a bad idea...hmmm, something to talk to shawn about.
we played LOTR Trivial Pursuit, and i won. *dances* only because jason was referee'ing and not playing, tho, heehee.
then we started to watch "the brothers grimm" but i was falling asleep, and sometime shortly after that, we decided to go. shannon had offered to take me back up today, but i know that would have meant me not getting up here till the afternoon, and i want to be Done with cleaning by that point so i opted out. especially since i totally didn't expect to stay and stuffs...i didn't bring anything with me.
i feel like i should have, that maybe shannon was like, i want to hang out, and maybe i just sort of missed that memo,...but i don't know, i just didn't want him to feel like he Had to drive me home. it's just such a long drive. :(
i do need to spend more time with my family. 'course they seem to planning plenty of things on their own, that don't include me...like them all going to see The Chieftans, Ministry, and possibly Disturbed, even. i don't know whether to feel offended or not about that. shannon was like, what? you're not going with us to see the Chieftans?
such a good brother...
my mom was all sad when we were leaving. i have totally gotten the holiday blues from all this. blech.
i have three comp days coming up,...i'm thinking i'll scheduale myself three 3 day "weekends", btn the 2-3 wk of january, and one of those will be to spend down there, and one will be for L.A.>>>disneyland, cameron, and troy...woot! and the 3rd, will just be for me,...up here...or maybe to see michele? hmmm...that's not such a bad idea, at all...
i have to do scheduales very soon. i've not gotten an hr list yet, nor have i gotten an end date for my holiday hires. *sighs* there are folks that i don't want to go, tho. really. that's going to suck.
yeah i totally have the holiday bluez. hope everyone's had/having a fabulous holiday, be well, eat drink and be merry! see you in the coming year!! PAX!
