To my neglected readers

As I am acquainting myself with the new work schedule, I haven't been posting as often. My apologies, oh illustrious blog viewers. Here are some highlights/lowlights of the week thus far:

  1. Working at the GAP has been great! Compared to my old insurance job? Let's just say that we actually have a training program regarding what the job entails, unlike said insurance co.- And I am a believer that insurance is more important than fashion. That was the hardest part of working for the insurance company. I may have royally screwed up people's life insurance because of my lack of training.
  2. The first few weeks of a new job is the hardest part for me because of the criticism. I don't like it when "the scary turtleneck lady" (a moniker which my co-worker Azra gave one of the managers) constantly informs me of the "way things are done." I mean, I'm still learning! Don't take that tone with me! Wench! But seriously, I don't mind that much. She's just a scary turtleneck lady that overdoes her job.
  3. Going from seeing Darin too much to not seeing him at all has put a strain on our relationship. We're actually in a "fight" right now... well, actually... I am in a fight with him. The apologetic messages on my cell to giving me much-needed back massages do not change the inherent fact that I am a stubborn German woman. Groan.
  4. The leaves are finally changing and I love it! On the west coast we don't have many trees that change colors. Very beautiful.
  5. I still miss my crazy mom.
  6. I desperately need chapstick. If anyone has seen a tube of Burt's Bees sans label, please contact my dry lips.
  7. Hey, you know how McDonald's has been advertising their "Premium Roast" coffee? Well, I finally tried it yesterday morning on my way to work. It's GOOD! Better than Tim Horton's.
  8. I need to pray more. I need more motivation. I feel very secular right now, and I am not sure when/how to combat it.
Thanks for stopping by! I promise that my next post will cover something more interesting. Au revoir!

Re #1 - Glad you like it!
#3 - There are always things to 'fight' about. Fortunately, there are always things to love one another for, so it all works out in the wash.
#4 - I've always loved the autumn. Except now I get to groan about heating costs.
#7 - Better than Tim Hortons? Heretic!
#8 - Start a newlyweds share/prayer group with Arwen. I'm serious - if you're feeling dry, more than likely you need more fellowship. Heck, if you meet at a regular time, I might even join you (if you don't mind Gui's distracting presence). Maybe Emily would be interested too. And pray with your husband. Even when you're mad at him - it's good for both of you.

Pax!

WeezyWen! I love you and return your Virtual Hug! (<-- I will also continue to Randomly capitalize Words as this is startlingly Fun) Glad to hear job is offering things to laugh about/rant about like scary turtleneck lady. I miss you, and yes, we must hang out. Sat. and Sun. are looking free. Love you.

Kate, Maggie, and other TH lovers-

I am still a Tim Horton's fan! Keep in mind that I am a West Coast gal that prefers her coffee to resemble dirty car oil.

Mel said...

mmm, dirty car oil...

Weezy, I need you back in choir- without you there, Mrs. Fed gets to concentrate more on how badly I sing. She keeps poking me in the stomach!

Louise said...

Mel,
Ah, the good old days. When annoyance was a positive thing, when choir directors poked fun at their own wigs, when I'd get a daily spanking...

Mel said...

...that can still be arranged. wish i could escape babyland :-P

Angelie said...
