Good times, busy times
Man, the last week and a half have just been wild. Good, but busy. Last Friday my good friend phil came into town with his friend hans. Phil stuck around until wednesday. It's always a pleasure to have guests and always great to visit with old friends. Usual times hanging out with phil have been on our way to or from somewhere and it was great to just hang out and talk about old times, new times, and other stuff until someone finally says "let's rent a movie" (unfortunately I fell asleep during the movie - but Melissa and phil tell me that it is very funny). So it was great - plus my kids love company...phil you are a natural - go make babies. or maybe just ask someone on a second date. Ahem.
Work has just been a zoo as we try to train a group of people for the new store in Duluth. it's hectic but fun. It's wearing me out, but I'm remembering the things I love so much about this job -working with people without the constant roar of a drive through buzzer (my current store is a drive thru) - and working with younger people. In the last two weeks my work became fun again. That makes me happy. So all of you who live near me, if you hear me complaining, just kick me.
Thursday I worked and found myself disgusted with the number of starbuckians who just couldn't stay away "OH THANK GOD, you are open!!!" Customer count 261. Go home. Eat turkey. watch football. If you must, brew coffee. But for the love, don't come bug me for a latte and danish. Really it wasn't bad, just odd to see all the addicts lining up. And always good times closing the store with Jesse the Rockstar.
thursday night my family got into town. My Dad, Grandma, and Aunt ventured in from central IL. Saturday we had a great big feast. The only bummer was some stomach issues Leo had. He had to miss the friday turkey, and he was pretty upset about it. As he ate his cheerios, he whined and asked for turkey. Then he said, quite matter of factly, "there's a cheerio in my nose." So we tried to get it with tweezers, but it wouldn't budge. Ultimately he figured out how to blow his nose! Anyway we stuffed ourselves and slept well Friday night (resting happily knowing that as we enjoyed our "thanksgiving" other's were fighting mobs at stores across the region).
Today I worked a long day 7:15am- 6pm, but now I am going to go enjoy my family.
