"It's My Resolution"


Okay, I ended up downloading the *NEW* Nick Lachey album from iTunes, (Thanks Mark for the iTunes card!). His CD is awesome, so much better than his first retarded album. The lyrics are really good and man he really wrote from his heart from all this divorce stuff that is going on. Very good!

I finally started on the resume today. I wanted to change the format and everything from what I had before.

Had a training session today and worked up cases of Mother's Day cards with the mad house rush at a Target and a grocery store today. Tomorrow I have to work on Mother's Day at the Meijer's. Plus, I have to get a badly needed oil change. I was at 5,000 miles on Monday and needed it and now by Friday I am at 5,900 miles. So I think it is time. The next 2 weeks are going to be rough - with changeovers and all.

I think I might make something in the slow cooker tomorrow. I will have to look at my Slow Cooker book - maybe I can make a stew or a chili or something in there.

Mark is going on 3rd shift this week so they can train someone and then he will go back to 1st shift.

Well - hope all is well with everyone else! :)

Rain...Rain...and Yes, More Rain!


It has been raining non-stop for 2 days. Of course, I had to drive thru it both days going to Lafayette - that's always fun to hold on to the steering wheel the entire time fighting the wind. I actually want to say it was like water was being dumped onto my car, not raining.

Now the weather is supposed to be dropping! So - work is still not letting up what so ever. I am about to hit a breaking point if one more load of work gets thrown upon me. I have already started looking online for some possible job leads. I want to re-do my resume to keep my options open if American Greetings isn't going to give me what I want. I am working way too many hours and not getting paid the amount for the amount of hours of work involved -that's what sucks about salary and working out of your house. There is no way out of it all.

I miss home! I miss Cleveland, miss my friends, I miss everything. I have to work this Saturday since its Mother's Day weekend and we make the most money on this day out of any other day of the year. I've already worked over 40 hours and its not even Friday yet, let alone Saturday!!!

Well, this weekend I will be working on that resume and then maybe watch some DVD's and clean my apartment some what! Plus, I need to get back onto my points. It's a must! Have a good one! Smile!!!!!!!

Advice, Anyone?


Okay, so I need advice! Work has been non-stop hectic and it is NOT letting up. I feel like my boss keeps throwing more and more at us. I have store remodels, revisions, new store openings, train new hires, have vacancies including even in Lafayette area, peer train my peer trainer, follow my assistant and make sure she is doing everything, do every little paperwork thing... on top of doing extra stuff for my boss. For what? To try and get back to Cleveland...that's all I want. I am homesick and I am ready to come back. I feel like I am done here. I have already starting the Monster search...and patiently waiting on my review which should have been done already I feel.

My boss calls me today to tell me that she hasn't received my expense reports in 7 weeks. I was like ... umm Debbie, don't you think I want to receive my money. I have been ... so she had nothing to respond with. I think if the company owed me money, they would know about it already. My goodness, what else is new?

I need to get back on the Weight Watcher thing. It's so hard for me to even have 5 minutes to work out with my schedule and such. With me being on the road and such its hard to stick on the diet. I just want to come back home and get back on the diet and join a workout club. I'm pissed that I haven't been able to stick to it consistently since X-mas.

I have 3 weddings to go to so I need to get back on it soon! Not only for me physically but mentally! Ahhhhh....

Anyways, the weather has been great and all I am doing is working. I hope everyone else is doing well. Keep in touch everyone!

There is a miracle inside of you, just waiting to be let out!
