Wake up call

So Its my first day off in over 3 weeks and I am awaken by Aptiva barking and she only barks when someone is in the driveway or the traffic stops or a horse and buggy goes down the road, so I get up and look out the window and there is a state trooper at the end of the driveway and a suv in the field and snow on the ground, yes snow. We are expecting 1 to 3 inches. We have about an inch now.

Looking forward

So I finally have a few days off at the end of this week. We are going home to West Point for my nephews 7th birthday party and my mother is cooking Thanksgiving dinner for me. I can't wait.
I sooooo need a day off. John's mother got home tonight, she said it was 86 degree yesterday in Miami. We went out to dinner after John picked her up at the airport and when we came out of the restaurant a state trooper was in the parking lot and a girls car was broken into, the passengers front window was busted out. The car was parked in front of John's car. Boy are we lucky it wasn't one of our cars. Like I have the time to take my car to get the window fixed.

Rainy Saturday

Well another week gone. It will be Christmas before we know it. My sister Jennifer has almost
completed her shopping. My other sister, Amy is in Nebraska at Silver Bella. John's mother comes back tomorrow from her 3 week birthday present. Next weekend we are going to West Point for Seth's 7th birthday party. I have Friday off and I need a day off sooooo bad.

Cold Cold Cold

I'm not ready for the cold weather. I is cold tonight, it is supposed to go down into the 30's tonight and only be in the 40's tomorrow. Burrrrr.... I have to go to a meeting tomorrow in Harrisburg. We are supposed to learn about changes to policies in Human Resources. The company is cutting were ever they can. We seem to think they are going to cut out deliveries. This would cut out car leases, gas and a 40 hour a week associate. I got a call today from our Loss Prevention manager, she asked me if I had anyone I could send to another store to cover for about an hour while the store has a profit enhancing meeting with associates. It will be good to see Dee, I haven't seen her since the Managers meeting in Baltimore. She broke her arm this summer and was still in a sling while in Baltimore, so we took care of her while there. I'll fill you in tomorrow about the meeting.

John's first poker game

Well I got John to go to Ruffini's last night and play some poker. It doesn't cost anything to get to play and you can will $100. I went over after work and sat at the bar and had a cheesesteak
sandwich and fries and a beer. I kept looking over to see how he was doing and he had a pile of chips in front of him. Later they combined tables and he moved around the table. A bit later I look over and he's gone, so I went outside to see if he was smoking and the car was still there so I came back in and called him and he was on his way home. He didn't see me sitting there and so he left. I was flabergasted. I couldn't believe he didn't see me. I was even parked right beside him. Oh well. So the Giants won. I would have been something if he won the $100 or even the $50 gift certificate (second place) to the restaurant. They have really good food and martini's.
He will probably go back and play again. I'll keep ya posted. This is practice for Alantic City.

Try to do the right thing.

I had to go back and forth with my boss this week to keep my assistant at 45 hours a week. He said she was going to do it though the holiday and they may have to transfer her after the first of the year and get me a salaried assistant. I didn't tell my assistant because things may change before the new year and she had asked for a transfer so I didn't think she would mind. My what drama I go though at work.
So If you didn't know this is the last season for ER and they are bringing back George Clunney and Dr. Carter. It's going to be a great season. Well off to bed I've been up since 3:30am.

Christmas Set

Hello All,

I've been working like crazy this week. I was supposed to have off Sunday and I worked till 6:30pm. Monday I went in to work insanely early and worked till 6:00 then went to the grocery store to get stuff for us to eat this week. Yesterday I got up early went and voted and then off to
work and I worked til 10pm last night. Today I went in at 7:30 and worked til 5:30. Well It paid off Christmas is set except for where the Halloween candy is left. My boss came in today and I think he was happy about the Christmas. I still have some issues but they will get done next week. I don't have a day off til the 21st of November so I can go home for Seth's birthday.
I finished the book I was reading, Odd Thomas. It is a really good book.
