On the Bright Side of Life

It's been a good week so far. Today was especially good. I slept in, read some more of the New Testament, and had a relaxing but productive day. I drove Mom to work late (she didn't feel well when she woke up originally), then went and stopped by the Pelrines' and caught up with Mary a little bit, which was awesome. Then I went downtown and handed out Blood Drive posters along Main Street. We're having a blood drive at the Church on Saturday, so I wanted to get the word out about that. I stopped at Darrell's Music Hall while I was down there, of course, and looked around in there! I saw them unloading and putting together a BEAUTIFUL baby grand piano...it was white...I think I almost drooled! I also finished cleaning my room today, so now it's clean and there's a lot less cat hair in it! I think I'm going to light a candle...

okay, now it's lit and pretty and will smell good! Even though I need to go to bed relatively soon. Because I have to be at work at 5am tomorrow. Oh the joys of having completely flexible hours for the grocery store! But at least I'll be done before the morning is over, so I'll have lots of time to finish other things on my list of things to do! OH! And I got to talk to James today, and we made some plans for while Mom and I are in Alaska. Woohoo!

Yesterday Steven and I took a road trip up to Laconia, and saw Lake Winnepesaukee while it was dead, before tourist season. We also found a drive-in movie theater. And Rollercoaster Road. And Karen's Gifts and More. And tons of other fun things! It was a great road trip. Okay, I've gotta go now, as Michael wants to show me something and so does Mom. :) I'll post some pictures later in the week! :)

  1. You always seem to find the bright side of things. Just an ordinary day but you make it sound so much fun.

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....
