and then here are the pictures from the institute spring formal. i don't remember mary's date's name at this moment. and i was set up with sam. and for some odd reason, lis & mikey didn't get in a picture together.... maybe cause lis had my camera and was taking the pictures.
i really think i need to mention that i had just taken a bite of my cheesecake shake when lis said get together quick and smile. (thanks lis....) anyways... i haven't heard anything from sam since. so it was a fun date and i hope his hip is all good.
in other news... life hasn't changed much. the marathon creeps up on me everyday, but i am thinking it is coming at more of a run now. (it's in 2 weeks..... May 16th) i am trying to run everyday, but the weather and sometimes my mood just don't cooperate. allergies did me in last weekend. i got home from work friday early afternoon and stayed in bed until i finally dragged myself to the gym saturday afternoon then came home, showered, and went right back to bed until i dragged myself to church on sunday. i hope this weekend is a good one. my allergies have been behaving for the most part. people are looking at me all funny now when i sneeze...stupid pig virus thingy. i know i don't have it, at least not yet and hope not to, so stop looking at me like i just killed you. ugh...people.
in funny news... i was told a very hilarious joke today by my dear sister. i literally laughed for about a half hour and still chuckle even now as i recall it... so here is a funny:
it was once said that a black man would be president when pigs fly. and sure enough, 100 days of obama and poof! "swine flu."
you may now laugh here.
in more funny news.... i love my dear nephew. he is a great kid, but still a kid and very much a boy. you will have to read brooke's blog to get the full effect. i can't tell it like she can. let's just say he is so darn cute that you can't kill him, but sometimes you'd really want to. and bless you brooke, you are a great mother.
let's see...what else is going on in my life at the present... work is work. same ol' thing. they have made a few changes with the registers, and for this reason, i don't really want to go in to work tomorrow, but if i want 40 hrs, i kinda have to. the company decided to put a restriction on what the cashiers do at the register. for example if an item didn't ring in (the bar code wasn't accepted) the cashiers could hand punch it in, ie $1.99 grocery. well, i guess somewhere along the road it was being suspect that cashiers were giving discounts that should not have been given. what they have now done is this; if an item doesn't ring in, the customer can't purchase it unless the cashier calls scanning and we hurry and add it in the system, if we can find it in corporate systems. big IFs. this also puts more pressure on the people who put the products on the shelves and our receiving clerk to make sure items are in our system before they unload the trucks, and before displays get built and products on the shelves. all in all, this a terrific idea and what ideally should have always been in place, but there are the many times that people just don't care to do their job, so that we in scanning can do ours. and this whole system of no 'open ring' starts officially tomorrow. making my day, i am guessing, a very long one. but i can't get overtime so really making 8 hrs a long time or too short of a time. and that's about all in my life at the moment.
oh yeah, jury duty...i didn't have to go in and serve. wahoo! and boys really are stupid. that same jerk was sitting with another friend of mine on sunday and asked for her number as he was passing by me in the hall. does he really think that he can just play the field like that? what nerve! it makes me sick! boys just plain suck! where are the men? the good ones that actually care and want a career and a family to provide for. i think i may just quit all together. i don't care if i get married, i don't care if i have a boyfriend, and i don't care if i am dating. that's it! life is too short and i am not wasting anymore of it with stupid boys!
