Sooooo Quiet...

Evan has gone trick or treating with his dad, and I live in the back of a fourplex on the highway, so I am expecting a very quiet evening. Was a good day at work, all the girls dressed for the occasion. I got to be Cinderella for a day, excpet in the part where she does all kinds of WORK, not the part where she meets the prince and gets to sit on her royal heine all day. Tomorrow I get to wear my new uniform, and I am kind of excited/anxious about it. It will be the first day of the rest of my life....or so the story goes.

It's Official...

I am now a Supervisor. Got me a little promotion. Woohoo! Just waiting for my new shirt to come in. It will be green and a little different than the shirts the regular staff wear. One of my first new duties...helping to decorate the store for...hold on to your shirts...Christmas. I personally think it is a bit early, but what do I know. So by the end of this week, we should be all prettied up for the season. And now you know...the rest of the story.

TGIF

So here it is Friday evening and I am home alone for a few hours. Evan has gone to a hockey game with the girl next door. Then he is headed to his dad's later tonight and I won't see him agian till Sun around lunchtime. It's funny, such a little person takes up such a big part of my life. When he's not here, it's so quiet, I sometimes don'tknow what to do with myself. Think tomorrow will be a day for Christmas shopping, I got a good head start already. Other than that, not much new going on. Still waiting for something official to happen, then I will fill you in on my good news. Off to clean up the crayons....

Recovery

Ladies night was FANTASTIC!!! WE started with daquaris(I mean dinner), then off to paint the town. The lesson for the night: always smell your shooter BEFORE you drink it. Long story short, I ended up with sambucca. By the end of the night (about 1:30ish), I could barely walk back to my friend's place. I did ask the bouncer if he would come home and take care of me, but seeing as how he had to work, I had to go without. All in all, it was a great night. So good in fact, we're going to do it again next month for my birthday...:)

Ladies Night

My friend is having a birthday today, so we are taking her out for dinner and a night on the town. What better excuse? Things are moving along, and I am doing fine. Tomorrow I might not be...lol. Some changes coming in the next few weeks, when they become official, I will let you know...:)

7 Random Things

Ok, since nobody tagged me, I tagged myself, I know how sad. Just kinda liked the whole concept. Here goes:
1-I played Mrs. Clause in our school production of a Christmas play in the third grade. And I did a FANTASTIC job.
2-I have only had 3 real jobs in my life-A restaurant for 5 yrs, a bakery for 3 and Tim Horton's for 9.
3-I LOVE Baskin Robbins choolate chip ice cream. It's probably a good thing the closest one is hundreds of kilometres away.
4-I have one of the most wonderful support systems in the galaxy. Between my family, extended family, friends and cyber-friends, I am doing great.
5-I once had a hairline fracture in my foot by falling UP the stairs. (I know, I know)
6-I have the most polite 5 year old on the face of the planet.
7-At my grade 8 prom, I lit up like a Christmas tree. (You'll have to ask if you want the whole story)
I am also happy to reprt that I purged about 6 bags worth of crap this weekend. And that was just the kitchen and Evan's bedroom. Snaps for me...:)

Lazy Saturday

I am thinking about cleaning out all of Evan's toys that he no longer plays with. Problem is, thinkin about it doesn't mean it's getting done. Evan is half asleep on the couch and it is only noon. They had a sleepover at his school last night. 25 kids got to invite a friend and he was chosen by 2(did I mention I have a great kid?) I dropped him off at 7 last night, and picked him up at 9 this morning. There were snacks, games, a scavenger hunt, and apparently, as I look at Evan, vey little sleep. I'm glad he had such a great night. Guess it's time to actually start doing instead of thinkning......

Stuffed...

Went home for the weekend to North Bay and was nice to just kick back and relax. Oh, and have REAL turkey! It is also nice to be back in the comfort of my own home. I cannot believe that it is already almost mid-October, where has the year gone? I hope you all had a wonderful weekend...

The Beginning of the End

So, I was packing up the last bit of stuff for the weekend on Fri, when there was a knock on my door. Seems the inevitable is here. The next few weeks/months are going to be tough, but one day at a time. I am leaning on friends and family, and they have been wonderful. I got nothing else, sorry to say.
