I give my retail season resolution out to all of you know. in speaking it, i have a much better chance of keeping to it.

I promise to chill out when everybody and their mother wants to purchase p hones from me that are not very profitable at all.

I promise to not freak out when THe phones actually LOSE money due to current promotions.

I promise to remain happy and positive throughout the holiday grumbles and rumbles.

I will thoroughly enjoy my customers and look forward to their presence in my store, even if they are only paying a bill.

I will refrain from uttering complaints when they leave.

I will stop complaining about how walmart undersells us consistantly and makes it very difficult for me to deal with customers.

I will enjoy the holidays and all that there is about it. This includes traffic, christmas music, snow, and every member of my family coming in and requiring deals on phones.

Happy Turkey day you ALL!!!!!


(E:lauren) went home for the holidays and i find myself alone for the first time in quite some time! which apparently means eating large amounts of pizza.

now i have to get my butt in gear and clean up this joint and head out to my gram's. It will be insane. lots and lots of people. my mom is one of ten.......

so now i'm just procrastinating.

if i can figure out how to post with my phone - i will. I don't see how i could actually post a mobile photo without going to a pc first. i mean i don't have an iphone like (e:jim) or anything.

anywhoodle. i'm going to play some tunes and get moving. happy turkey gobble guys!

oh and (e:janelle)... did you guys get your gift?

(e:janelle) = the cats wanted me to express their graditute for you coming to feed them this weekend, so they have a token of their appreciation for you. how would you like to receive such a gift? perhaps your address and a well placed package on your doorstep for midnight delivery?

they didn't have their goals in gear yesterday when you stopped to drop off the keys. procrastinating kitties, i know.

so serioiusly i haven't had coffee and i'm delerious in case you couldn't tell.

i'm trying to make more time for estrip. like now when i should be getting ready for work.

even though that should be a fairly not so easy task - given that (e:lauren) has 23454345 pages to write on here in the next few weeks and i am entereing into the crazy retail season as a salesperson. aye.

whatever... if i could figure out how to sign in from my phone i would mobile post. i'm just an idiot. :)

ahhh i never thought i would be so happy to come home.

(e:lauren) and I went back to New Paltz this weekend and oh what a weekend it was. It was a whirlwind of places to go, people to see.

It was interesting though, because it wasn't the happy and joyous reunion that i thought it would be. We spent half the time in a state of "we don't live here any more."

Suddenly you find yourself outside of all the inside jokes.

I missed those mountains though. Even this late in the season the oranges, reds and yellows of what was left on the trees and the ground just made my heart a little happy.

And we made a descision. We have chosen two of our friends (jess and wazina) and we have decided that no matter what, we are going to be neighbors. We have to choose a place and move there and live next to eachother. We are going to raise families together.

And it can't be buffalo... so alas... buffalo has become a short term solution to the grad school problem.

Well don't I feel like a debbie downer?



Hey (e:janelle)
Thanks so much for taking care of our boys! Sometime this week you will find yourself in possession of a little token of our appreciation!

though i haven't had much time to post lately i thought that the count that (e:lilho,42129) and (e:paul,42128) have going should be enough for now.
