Hello all! Sorry it has been so long since I've posted, but I've been really, really busy! :-) So, I thought I'd take a couple of minutes and let you know what I've been up to.
First, work is going well. They originally told me I would work 15-20 hours a week, and that was true for the first 2-3 weeks, however, for the last two weeks and I'm guessing onward, I've been working over 30 hours a week. So, I'm really tired and I don't exactly have the mental brain power to sit down and write book reviews at the moment! :-) In between working, I have been having several interviews, but nothing has come of those.
On another note on work, they finally put me on the cash register...on Black Friday! I wanted to die! :-) I was "being trained" for a couple of hours, and then they put me on a register on my own. I did survive the day, but not without several stressful moments...which we won't delve into. :-) (I also had to go into work at 6:00 a.m.) I have since continued working on the register, not every day, but pretty regularly. It's my least favorite thing to do. Working with checks and returns are stressful. Anyway, but good experience! :-)
That same Friday, we had "our" Thanksgiving. We had a couple of people over, whose wives/mom were not able to cook for them, so they came over for dinner to our house. So, after coming home, I had less than an hour to rest, and then we spent a fun evening with games, food, etc. Oh, we also got to webcam my best friend and her mom and talk for awhile. (this best friend, her dad and brother were two of the people we had over)
Anyway, Thanksgiving was a very busy weekend! We went to my Dad's older sisters (and saw most of my Dads side of the family) house on Thanksgiving Day. That Saturday I also worked, and on Sunday after church, we went with some friends to see a movie, that was a lot of fun! :-)
Also, this best friend who we webcammed, had her baby girl on December 10! I am very excited about this and I can't wait to see pictures! Hopefully in the near future we will be able to see the baby, but I have no idea when. So, I am excited about being a "pseudo Aunt" :-)
Let's see, what else, oh, I am so behind in Christmas preparations it is not even funny! This weekend I worked on Christmas cards with my sister, but I still need to start our family newsletter. Which I also hope to post on here. :-) So, I hope to get the cards out this week...maybe... :-) My sister and I usually decorate our room for Christmas, but we are both so busy, we have decided it's not going to happen this year. :-) There is still lots to do with presents, cookies, crafts, etc. But I won't bore you with those details. :-)
In the blog world:
Well, you can obviously tell I haven't been blogging, I am trying to keep up with putting new Scriptures and quotes up. I just added some Christmas music today, I wanted to do more, but I think I will just stick with the Nutcracker, which I love. :-) (I got the cd of the music last year for Christmas, I was very excited about that) I'm also trying to change my background every week for the next month or so, lots of fun Christmas/winter backgrounds out there! :-)
Polls, I want to do some soon, once I sit down and think of a few to do! Any suggestions?
As for the book reviews, maybe I will get one or two done before the end of the year, but we will see. First I need to focus on our newsletter. :-) I haven't been reading a whole lot these days, but I still have several books that I read a month or two ago that I want to review on here. :-)
I think that is the majority of the stuff that has been going on. I'm also pretty busy with lots of church activities this month.
Well, I need to get back to my list of things to do, so until I get to the polls, do you have any fun Christmas traditions or memories that you'd like to share? If I think of any, I will try to post some later on.
Hope you have a great week!
