Guys I swear I am not not blogging on purpose!  I have nothing interesting to say!  I swear.  Here this is what happened today...

I got up and took Jack to work.  I went back home and went back to sleep.  I got up and went to the dentist.  I had my teeth cleaned.  I left.  I went to work.  My fucking boss was there.  I went home. 

Ok...well perhaps not totally boring today.  My boss came in today.  I swear!  Why the hell does he come in on the worst possible day every month.  He comes in on my transition day.  The day that we are about to start doing all of the little things that he comes in to nit pick about, and then pretend like he doesn't see all of the huge things that have been done.  Yeah.  Fucking sucks!  Oh AND he was there before I got there, so he had already written me 2(!!!!) pages of notes.  I mean really 2?  They were very specific to say the least, but it was all little stuff.  I mean little stuff that had I been there before he started walking around my store with a clipboard, he would have never noticed (I like to keep him talking.)  Ugh!  I am hoping for better next month.  When he comes in on these days, it makes me feel like a totally shitty manager that needs to find a different job.  Oh and to make matters worse.  My sales are down and so are the pharmacy's (stupid Dollar General).  You coupon ladies need to come to my store and go overboard!

Life is all about the puzzle pieces.

Just finished watching Eat Pray Love.  It reminds me of packing up everything I had and driving across country to start a new life.  That trip across country by myself was the most freeing experience I have ever had.  I remember crying from being amazed at the beauty of the US.  I think I would be perfectly content just travelling for months on end.  I am so ready to make a journey like that again, and now that my husband has a job, it is so tempting to go on a road trip in May.  I do have a vacation coming to me after all.  One more thing about the movie.  Life is all about the puzzle pieces, and how people that you come into contact with shape your life.  I have always known this.  I am pretty sure I have written a blog about this at some point in the past.  If not, please tell me.  I would love to bore you with some of the puzzle pieces that got me to where I am now.  Anyway, the movie says something very similar. Everyone and everything that you come into contact with is a clue.  I think that is a pretty interesting way to put it too.

I was going to blog about my weekend in G'burg, but I got started and didn't finish.  You should know that we had a great time!  A blast!

I am exhausted!  I worked all day long, and I mean all day long.  7:30 in the morning until 9 tonight.  I am so ready to go to bed.  What sucks is that I won't be able to sleep in tomorrow because I have to run Jack to work.  Ooooooo I could just make him come home for lunch....Isn't it wonderful?  He finally has a freakin' job!  I love it! Weight lifted off of my shoulders!
MY HUSBAND HAS A JOB!  ::runs around screaming with joy::

This time change is killing me.  I get so tired in the middle of the day from staying up so late because I am used to the previous time.  Can my body just adjust already?!  They just need to do away with DST anyway.  I mean Arizona is surviving without it. 

Only 2 more days of work until Gatlinburg.  I am so glad to be getting out of town!  For all I care, we could stay at the cabin all day.  I will be happy just to be somewhere other than Nashville.  We are however having dog watching issues.  My MIL said she would be willing to watch 2 dogs.  I found someone to watch Maverick.  Now, Jack talked to her again, and she is acting like she doesn't want to watch Roscoe (Boston Terrier).  My cousin said she would watch our pug (Maverick).  That will probably throw that plan out the window.  I don't know who I will get to watch Roscoe.  Maybe our former neighbor will watch him.  They have 2 Bostons anyway.  I was just trying to match energy levels with the dogs.

I possibly have big wigs coming to my store in the morning.  I hope not, but they are staying at a motel near the airport tonight which is right down the road from my store.  :(  EEK!  I hope they don't come by because I won't be there.  Jack has another dentist appointment in the morning, so they can tell him what all they are going to do to his teeth.  Perhaps the dentist will take him as one of those "see what I can do" patients.  Dental work is too expensive.

I am off to watch Bones and go to sleep.

My throat is killing me!  I had one of those "what the hell were you thinking moments" last night at the theater!  I took the wrapper off of my straw that I then placed in my mouth (you get where this is going).  I went to throw the wrapper into the seat next to me (gotta give those theater cleaners something to do) then my arm hit the end of the straw sending it straight into the back of my mouth.  It hurt so bad, and it still does.  OW!

I know ya'll are just dying to know what we saw.....Battle of Los Angeles and Little Red Riding Hood.

Battle of LA was good.  Little Red Riding Hood ( I am not kidding) could have been called Twilight.  Her dad is even the dad from Twilight.  Yeah.  Some of the scenes look like they just took them from Twilight.  There is even a lying in the field scene.  I mean don't get me wrong I know that there are similar motifs to the movies, but really they could have done some different shots.  Watch it.  You will see.  I mean there is even a wolf...(of course there is!  What LRRH movie would be complete without one?) :)

I worked all day today by myself.  I had no cashier.  Damn today was good.  I know that sounds crazy, but I got to do a planogram today. <---my favorite.  :) 

I finally have all of my days that I am going to G'burg covered!  I am so happy!  What I am not so happy about is that my brother, sister in law, and niece are not going now.  Hailey has an ear infection again.  The doctor said that the elevation would most likely make the pain worse for her.  She is getting tubes in her ears on Monday.  :(  Jack and I really wanted them to go, and I know my mom is really disappointed too.
