Today's been a great day!

[sonjajade]

I did not want to roll out of bed this morning, not when it had been the first night I'd slept more than four hours in about a week.  But I did get up and go to work, and it was a good thing I did because it was FREIGHT DAY!!! I fricken love freight day!  I get to put the radio on in the back and jsut open boxes and sling clothes everywhere.  And I can go pee whenever I want and not have to do bra fits on sweaty fat women or perverted men pretending to be trannies (I waited on four REAL transgender women [or is it men?] today and all of them were super awesome... the perverted guy was not...)  Wanna see a pic of our back room?

exciting I know, but when I can listen to Led Zeppelin and Def Leppard and NOT Pit Bull and Beyonce, it doesn't much matter what I'm doing. (though I will say working out on the floor gave me a love for Ke$ha and Rhianna)

When I got off work I went to the new job and filled out some paperwork.  Today I went to location #2 of 5 (2 are across the street from each other, this was one of those 2).  The guy who hired me is so freaking cool.  Have I told you guys about him yet? my memory....  Anyway, in addition to being head of like 13 stores between Cincinnati, Louisville and Evansville, he plays in a band and teaches karate.  He saw my tattoo on my wrist that says "カ" and he laughed, saying, "Do you even know what that means?"  And I replied with a smile, "Yes, chikara means strength and power. I got it after I gave birth."  then he says something in Japanese and I stop him and tell him I know lots of words but no grammar or sentences apart from Hajimemashite.  He also went on to ask me if I knew the name of the band who had had カ written all over their drum kit and I todl him of course I do because I'm a Lt. in the Kiss Army.  My new boss high fived me and told me I was awesome.  We also talked about the difference between drywall and particleboard (which evidently it what is used for walls in storage units!!) and talked about my clogged tub drains (which are now open and draining perfectly HALALUJER!!!)

Came home (it was snowing and super cold and super windy) and was able to convince Joey into a nap.  we slept til almost 7:30, then Cliff treated Joey and I to dinner at O'Charley's.  When we got back I got Joey into the tub for the first time in over a week.  While he played and hung out, I finally decided on what to get from Adam and Eve so I could redeem my free coupon thingy.  I ended up getting THIS because I haven't found the right ben wa balls I want yet, and the coupon expires on the 28th.  I think I'll like it, and it will definitely be something I can use in combination with other toys I have, so I'm pretty pleased.  After all this, I'm slowly gathering up all the stuff I need so I can go down and get daycare assistance tomorrow.  Finding a center that's 7 days a week will be the trick though.  I know they're out there, but how far away are they and how GOOD are they are the main concerns.

More pics! 

Joey saw the Easter bunny and was so excited while we waited in line, but when we got up to him he became very shy and this was the best pic of the whole 10 clicks.

Flop seems to enjoy creeping around the tub.  I noticed kitty prints along the side when water was standing in there the other day, so no surprise that he was sitting and watching Joey in there.

Super easy super yummy cake!  1 box of angel food cake mix, one can of crushed pineapple.  combine and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, enjoy.

Glad to hear your new boss is great. Good luck finding daycare!

Aw the Joey pictures are cute. Also cake looks yummy. :D

Cake IS yummy! It needed frosting, but I would have put chipped cream on it I think, just to keep the whole thing light and airy. It would be great for summer time with an orange glaze too!

Heh, Joey's gonna love you for the bare bottom picture when he gets older. ;-)

I got to work in the warehouse today. It's a nice break not having to deal with customers, isn't it?

I love being in the warehouse. Time goes by so much faster. Don't get me wrong I like most of the customers too, but I'm glad I don't have to hang out on the floor when it's so slow like on Mondays.

... and not have to do bra fits on sweaty fat women or perverted men pretending to be trannies...

LOL the guy was faking higher pitch voice and telling me some jacked up story about being on hormone therapy in preparation for his sex change surgery (which was a lie, because if he hated being a man so much he would've shaved his chest so it looked more like a woman's chest...) So I do a fit on him and I'm like you're a 36 A, and we don't sell those. He asks me if he can try a 38 B (and our bras sometimes do vary in the band size but hardly ever the cup). So I got him one to try and then he puts it on and then asks me to look at it to make sure it looks okay... and obviously the cup is huge and he takes my hand and puts it on the cup and says "Does it feel real?" I jerked my hand away and said, "No, it's way too big and I could've told you that without touching it." He got the gist that he had overstayed his welcome and he hurried out. and that guy comes in at least once a month. Won't miss him. What's hilarious is that I know him from another job, from when I worked in the walgreens photo lab. He used to tip me $20 to print pictures he'd take of BBW porn. *full body shiver* some people REALLY give ya the creps!
