for those of you who didn't get one in the mail for one reason or another...




today wasn't as bad as id imagined.
had a couple customers that made me want to scream, but nothing too bad. we DID have a guy call at 10pm trying to schedule a walk in for TONIGHT. I explained that we close at 11 (not at midnight as he rudely accused) and we take our last appt at 930....but he screamed that he wanted to talk to my manager and yelled at her for a little while as she tried to explain that we weouldn't have time to take 8 children and 4 adults in the time we had left.
i bought myself a pretty sexy pair of shoes on my break...but it means i have to paint my toenails to wear them.. boo! heh. i also got my 5ft long santa hat, which is awesome! i dont think chris likes it though. :(

i did forget a funny story from yesterday!
on the flight home i sat next to a little girl of maybe 3 or 4. when we landed, she spotted a cluster of planes on the tarmac and pointed excitedly. her mother and i tried to explain to her that she was, indeed, in an airplane just like them. she just couldn't wrap her mind around that fact. it almost made her kicking me in the kneecaps for 2.5 hours worth the pain. hah.

that's pretty much it...i just finished wrapping a bunch of last minute gifts i got today, and now its bedtime!

happy holidays everybody!

Last night was bizzare. No sleep makes for a loopybean. Lauren picked me up at 430, and we headed to the airport. We made pretty good time until we hit Terminal A. It took us ove 20 minutes to get from there to Southwest. Lauren never even made it to the curb; I just hopped out and ran for it. The ticket counter line wasn't bad, but the security lines were outrageous. I made it to the plane 5 minutes after it was supposed to leave. Fortunately for me, the crew was also stuck in that line. Once on the plane I tried to nap, and I failed miserably. I did get half of "Now, More, Again" bye Elizabeth Wurtzel read though. The whole business in Chicago, from shuttle pick up to shuttle drop off at the airport took 20 minutes. All the friday-before-christmas bullshit...for 20 MINUTES! My fingerprints haven't changed! Shouldn't they be on file from last year? Whatever. The shuttle gets me back to MDW, and there's a semi truck pinned between the departure ramp and the overpass. Smoooooth. Needless to say, I took pictures. I tried to make it over to see Nicholas, but the line to the ticket counter was like Walt Disney's wet dream. When I found the back of the line, I realized I was standing in the parking garage! Unfortunately my waiting in line was all in vain, because they'd printed my return boarding pass in PHL. Oops! The flight home was pretty smooth, and while I waited for Lauren I got to say hi to a few people I've missed. Them being excited makes me excited to be returning. It will be sad to leave the Picture People, as I've really grown to love the Montgomery Mall store, but there's no advancement and no benefits. That's life though. Nothing says I can't go visit them all! Hopefully I can get Cat or Erich to fly the baby in before I leave so he can get his picture taken. (Pardon my digression.) Lauren and I stopped at Wawa on the way home, and I finally got my mac and cheese! It was delicious! We ate watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!

Now we're headed out to look for a new coffee pot. I was going to go with Lauren to pick up Doug, but I think I've had enough airports for one day and my migraine's trying to come back. Sorry, Doug! Welcome to PHL!

On that note...I'll be back a bit later for more interesting tidbits...

So I've been working my ass off lately.
I got my hair cut yesterday. I think it looks cute. I'm not sure anyone's noticed unless I pointed it out. Heh. It's a big change for me though.
We finally made it out to see Borat. It was really funny!
Other than that I've been working.... but it's almost Christmas!

Last night we were supposed to do a couple things, but one of the buildings in our complex was gutted by what appeared to be a 4-alarm fire. There were firetrucks everywhere, which meant we couldn't get out of our parking lot. So...I took pictures. They're currently loading, and I'll post some eventually. Once my interest in the fire waned we decided to come back in and watch Elf. Heh. I love that movie. It was really nice sitting in the glow of Christmas lights with a big mug of Target English Toffee Cocoa and a big bowl of popcorn. I felt so comfortable I never wanted to go to bed.

But! I had to be up to be at work by 8am...crap! Work was...work. Nothing too impressive or eventful. I'm reaching the point of being completely burned out, and it's getting harder and harder for me to get excited for it. Mleh. Tis the season. 7 more days.

Chris and I are debating the movies again tonight..barring any additional conflagrations. We'll see. Tomorrows another 8am shift. Grant me patience...
