Updated week!

Today is my day off work! I am cleaning my apartment. It is soooo dirty! Been very busy. Main reason I have not blogged. I think I broke mom's sweeper. We have this rug under our couch and it was toooo thick. burnt out the motor or something. Tony is trying to get us a new sweeper at work. Cross your fingers!

The beautiful rug! HAHA...Sarah this is confusing placing pictures...

Last Saturday, Tony and I went to my friend Katie's house to watch the OSU game. Before hand Tony and I went to Kroger's for some "healthy snacks" and came across my new favorite drink.. it is from Smirnoff. Pomegranate martini mix. I will be bringing it for Thanksgiving. YUM....

I drank 4 glasses of this martini mix.... I was feeling good! A picture of my other friend Robin and I. Plus, Tony's arm in the corner.

I went to Jenny Craig to weigh in on Monday.. I LOST 2 pounds!! I didn't think I would have, drinking all those martinis. I am very proud of myself!

This Sunday, some of my cashiers and managers are going to Beavercreek Home Depot for Cashier Olympics from 8pm-11pm. It will be exciting! I pick out 3 cashiers or anyone who wants to do it. District managers put together items in a cart, hiding products and ripping off bar codes. The 3 cashiers representing our store have to ring up the merchandise for speed and accuracy. Also, we have spirit parade down the lumber isle. I had made 20 shirts for the people who are attending. It is going to be a black shirt with this logo on the back...

Nikki at my work sketched out this logo. She is a really good designer. we also made cool glittery aprons to wear too. Wish us luck! I hope we win. Since I have worked with Home Depot for 7 years, we have not won yet. Oh, also I bought orange face paint and hairspray. I will update with allot more pictures from the event!

Bowling...

Tonight, I bowled my heart out! I had my new shoes on and was breaking them in! The first game i only got a 115. Second game, 148! I beat my mom. She only got a 133. Then the third game I got a 137 I do believe. It was awesome...

Also, I never wrote about my Chili... it was awesome! very very tastey. I made it last Monday and then ate it for left overs on Tuesday. Now this week I can't eat non-Jenny Craig food. I gained 2 pounds this past week. OUCH! So, its all Jenny food. They don't have a huge selection of foods and I am getting sick of eating Jenny. I have lost a total of 12 pounds but gained the 2 of last week. We will see how this week goes! Wish me well!!!!

A picture of Tony and I. We were over at Katie's house watching the Bucks game. Tiger snapped this photo. That is why we were not centered, but he did a great job!

White Chili

Today, I had the day off. Thank GOD. i needed to sleep in! Last nite, was bowling. I sucked! I was so tired I could not get myself to get any marks on the board! oh well. I ordered new bowling shoes. I can't wait till they come in. Maybe it will help me do better!
A picture of my new bowling shoes!! I found them for only $31.... or i could have paid $50.Black and purple...

Today, I made my sister Sarah's famous white chicken chili... it really doesn't look like hers, I hope it taste like hers. At first, it was really runny and watery. I called her and asked how to make it thicker. Milk and flour. I think I made too much of this concoction. It just looks funny. I will tell you later how it tastes. I put a whole jalapeno in it....SPICY

I gained 2 pounds last week...OUCH! what did me in was the beer from Oktoberfest. It is concidered a fat. So as of now, I can not drink anymore. That makes me the DD. It is ok because the taste of beer is gross to my taste anymore. My new favorite is a cosmo! YUM

Fun times over at Katie's house! O-H-I-O! haha we even taughed Chloe how to do the cheer!

Here is a pic of Gracie, my bitch! she really is starting to be one! Every dog she meets she gets in a dog fight with them. Today, I took Gracie on a walk around the rents block... another dog got out of the yard and ran over to Gracie... a Boston terrier sniffs Gracie's butt, Gracie turns around and attacks. The Boston terrier's owner ran over and apologized. Hell, i felt bad for his little dog. Gracie is mean...she is turning into an old fart!

Venting....

Wed Oct 1...

I had to work from 6 AM to 3 PM. Work was going well until I was called back to the managers office. Store manager sat me down to "talk" with me...I had sold a Tuff Shed 3 weeks ago. The customer I sold it too, called. When she had come in she pointed to the shed she wanted and marked it on the pamphlet. She works for an apartment complex so I knew she knew what she wanted and I didn't think anything about it so I processed the order. The woman customer had a phone call so she walked away from my desk. her husband came in the picture to finish the sale. All he added on were the accessories (vents). I always go over the special order with my customers. I show them and repeat the order and then they have to sign for it. Well, the other day it was installed at the customers house. Today, my manager got a phone call from the customer about the shed. It was installed with 6' side walls and she specified she wanted 7' side walls. She never told me she wanted 7' side walls. She told me she wanted 10x12 small barn. I even had a witness while i was processing the sale. The garden dept supervisor. He even backed me up and said they never specified wall sizes, at the time of the sale or even when they signed for the sale.

I am just thinking it was installed and turned out too small for their taste and wanted to complain to get what they want. My manager went off on me to start qualifying the customer more. I will never ask the customer are you sure you want this size or this color... are you sure you really want to special order this?! When a customer wants to special order something they usually know what they want and I will go ahead and special order it. That's why they are there at the desk to get a product we don't sell on the floor. I do believe retail is the most hardest job on earth! I can't stand it!

Thanks for listening me vent... I am so mad at that place!!
