well that was fun
I had a good time at wrestling with Shawn last night. And I got to see my other Sean, Sean O'Haire. *sigh* He's so hot.
I've actually been feeling kind of sad lately. I've not been trying to let people know about it, because I don't want them to worry about me. It's not a big deal. And I am trying to be upbeat and positive. It's just sometimes a wave of sadness will wash over me. I guess I'll talk to Dr. Miller about that when I see him at the end of April.
I think I am just letting stupid things get to me.

work, work, work
Lot's of work! I've been averaging 45 hours a week lately. But, I asked for it. I am not complaining. Our sales are finally starting to pick up in the new store, so the days are going by faster. But we are also getting huge shipments, and we are getting backed up.
We did an exercise yesterday where we competitive shopped at other stores, just to see their service behaviors, and almost none of the stores even talked to us. They ignored us. The whole point was to show us what a huge opportunity we have to win customers with helping them and just being nice. I mean, half the stores didn't even greet us when we walked in. Even the stores that work on commission!
Off today, taking Shawn to WWE wrestling tonight. Should be fun!

Ahhh... A Saturday off
And I have done nothing today. I have cleaned up my bedroom. I took a nap. I'm doing a little bit of laundry right now. But that's it. And it's just SO nice to have the day off to rest. Tomorrow and Monday, well and Tuesday for that matter, are gonna be killer days. Monday is our audit, so I get to work 6am-3pm (at least, the schedule says that, I might get to leave earlier or have to stay later). Tomorrow is 9am-6:30. Normally it would only be 11:30-6:30, but we have to get all this shipment out, so we can scan it for the audit. And then Tuesday I have a double shift. Ahhhh. Nice.
But then I have Wed and Thurs off to recover. I can handle this!

This is my title
I am still sticking to my points, but it is so hard, with those half moon cookies down there. I have eaten some, but I can't assign a points value to them, because there is no nutrition value on them. So, I just save a whole lot of points, and then eat one.
Lots of shipments coming in to work lately. Have to get it all out before Monday. At least out of the cases. Because we have the audit and have to scan it all.
I have Saturday off work. It will be so nice. Boy that I like visited me at work yesterday. I told him he should take me out. His sister is coming into town, though. But he said we'll see. Then, later on, his best friend came in and said hi (I was in our New Albany store, where boy and his best friend live) and so of course I had to ask best friend for advice. He didn't know about all this stuff that was going on. He said don't wait around. He also said, yeah, I am kinda like boy I like's ex. Freaky.

Day one
And I stuck to my points. Less, actually. I am supposed to have 24-29, but I only had 22. But that's ok, because I am almost to the next level down anyway.
I am so tired. It is bed time. I am going into work early tomorrow to work on shipment.

Weight loss
Okay, so I have lost 20-30 pounds just by taking this medicine, Topamax. It's an anti-seizure drug, but it has a side effect of weight loss. My psychiatrist prescribed it for me.
I think I can lose more weight if I go back on weight watchers, so I am going to do that tomorrow. I'll start out at 24-29 points. But that won't be for very long, because I'm just at the very bottom of that scale. Normally when I start these things I don't tell people, because I am afraid to fail. But, we will see how well I do. Exercise, I don't know if I am going to keep this up or not. I started out pretty good a few weeks ago and then that fell off.
Boys. There's this guy I like a lot. He knows I like him a lot. I told him as much. He says I remind him of his ex-girlfriend. He had told me that a couple times, before I had even fallen this hard for him. So I thought I that I wasn't being given a chance because someone before me screwed up. But he said it is because he doesn't want to use me to fill the void she left, because that would not be fair to me, that I deserve better than that. He's confused and wants to make decisions for the right reasons. That he still needs some time to think, but please don't leave him.
This is also the kind of thing I normally leave out of my blog. I would normally just post it on the uberbrain where my uberfriends and only my uberfriends could see it and offer advice. But I figured what the hell, let everyone see it, I don't care.
I don't know how to date. I've never really dated before. I was with Kirk for so long. I don't know "the rules." I just know I'm crazy about this guy. But then again, I also work retail, and most weekends, so I don't have much of a dating life anyway.
And I just burped. And I could taste the Whopper I had for dinner.

Here comes the bride
So, yesterday I was consignment shopping with Trisha and her mom. We also went into this antique mall. Where I found the most perfect wedding dress ever. And I now want to go buy it. I don't even have a boyfriend. But I just feel like I need this dress. It's just what I need.
Isn't that nuts?

still in a pissy mood
so, we had a store that was closing, and relocating to another spot. I helped out on two days. the first day, I boxed up product, but then I was shipped off to another store that needed help with their shipment. the second day, I was at the new store, and I had to unbox things and put the product back on the shelves. the manager said:
"don't worry about the rack plan, just keep things organized by brand."
So, that is what I did. I still mostly kept it organized though, dark to light, just like it's supposed to be. I'm anal that way. Well, last night my manager told me that the other manager had been bitching that I fucked up her rack plan and had been standing around doing nothing.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
The next time that girl needs help with anything she better not even THINK about calling me to ask for anything. I worked on a SUNDAY from 8:30am - 5pm and I worked my ASS off for her. A couple of times, yes I did take a few minutes break because my feet hurt.
I also realized the other day that I need to talk about my manager because for the first time in 6 years, it crossed my mind that I have been training people to be managers but been paid a pittance to do it. I'm really just pissed that I am getting such a small raise that the "pay scale matrix" has me at the top. The only reason that I even became an assistant manager was to get bigger raises.
*SIGH*

Stuff
To answer Jodi's question, a normal pregnancy is 40 weeks. My sister needs to carry the babies at least 25 weeks. She saw the doctor last Friday. The babies' heartbeats are strong. This is good.
I am in a really pissy mood today.
