Making Old Ladies Go WowSo there is this lady who is one of my favorite customers even though she is crazy and buys i would say like 8 36 packs of beer a week. Anywho she loves me and only lets me cash her out and to get beer you have to type in a date of birth and so I know her date of brith and it was today. So I decided to call her and wish her a happy birthday! She was sooo excited and then she came into the store later to get some stuff and was telling the other people in line how great i was and that i did that. She is is funny! I love how somehting so simple can make someone feel so good, it is truly great!!! Part of why i love my job is these people, they make it worth it!

The Big MeetingSo (e:libertad) met the 'rents this weekend on Sunday. It went very well if i do say so myself. He was very charming and brought over chocolates and they seemed to all get along well. My mom felt bad thought cuz she only had one meat and as many of you know from (e:paul)'s journals there is usually a 2 meat minimum at my family dinners. She had a busy weekend though and it was sorta not a lot of pre planning. It still was good though. It was relaly nice to have them all meet and get along. It just felt like "phew this is good, reeeals good!"

I will never forget when your mother asked what kind of meat was my favorite and I froze. I was so worried that if I said any particular meat that is all that she might make for me in the future. Your Dad was kind of fun. It was funny how he kept apologizing for being late and you had to get him from the lotto store where he was chatting it up with (e:jill)'s Lebanese uncle.
It was so nice to meat (haha) them.

It's Always FrasierI love Lifetime as many of you know but it seems like it is always playing Frasier lately. At all the key times that I watch , its FRASIER FRASIER FRASIER. i like frasier and frankly often it is hysterical but i don' tturn to lifetime to see Frasier, give me golden girls, give me the Nanny or some Will and Grace but no more frasier!!!!!!!!!
tinypliny - 07/29/08 20:03
Hehehe.. I like Frasier as well. I especially like the whiny little brother psycho, oh and the stubborn father, and the scottish housekeeper and the free-spirited coworker-producer. :)
Can't comment about the lifetime channel because I don't think I ever watched it back when I had a TV set.

It would be interesting to see those names of people who like stopped posting. It would be interesting to see how many of those people still read them though. That might be something to look into later.
