just catching up on some blog reading & realized it had been a while since i posted one myself. i was afraid you all might not make it through another day without my ramblings so i thought i would ensure your continued existence.
kindergarten is still going well. i love the little brats. they are too cute for words.
dillards is still dillards. i'm past my bitter ramblings (for now) about the idiocy of a commission-based sales system and the girls buyer. my only beef with the place now is that i have to be there 30-35 hours per week and that is 30-35 hours i would rather be somewhere else. this, however, is not dillards' fault and, as such, i am trying to not take my frustrations out on the establishment.
christmas is here. almost anyway. almost all of my shopping is done and i'm almost feeling the christmas spirit. i say almost simply because i'm not as giddy as i'd like to be. some say that it's impossible to enjoy christmas when you work in retail because you constantly come in contact with cranky people. this year, this is not the case for me. i have yet to come in contact with any truly cranky people. i think the one thing that is keeping me from being in the giddy christmas mood is the chance to sit down, watch white christmas, and drink some eggnog. oh and do some christmas decorating.
oh and i finished 'searching for god knows what' and must reiterate the fact that donald miller is my hero. seriously, if you haven't read blue like jazz (his first book), do so. immediately. if you are hesitant, let me know and i will explain to you in greater detail why you must read this book and possibly personally escort you to the nearest bookstore where i will purchase it for you.
i hope this blog finds all of you in the giddy christmas spirit. much love to all of you & thanks for the many birthday messages!
