STRESS IS OOZING OUT OF MY EARS. blech. Oh yeah, and where did my weekend go?
Sometimes I have too much time to think at work. Especially when resetting the men’s jeans wall, which is mind-numbingly boring and 24 feet long.
The first flower is the Baha plant I put in the back yard years ago. I planted it, and it has survived Chicago winters, summers, too much & too little watering. And I don’t have to do a thing.
Just because every girl needs to treat herself after a long day at work. Ingredients: 1 banana 3 strawberries 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup BLEND.
Working in Logistics, I have discovered that I am not cut out for a 3 am job. That is all. I work with Security this week. Woot. It is a lot cooler than it sounds…I hope. Book update: I finished…
The picnic that I go to every year, my favorite event of the entire summer…was canceled because of rain. It poured here all day. *sigh* So we made the best of it and got food at Maggiano’s and then went…
Thank God for a 3 day weekend. Apartment hunting, hanging out with friends, picnic, seeing my sister. So much to do! I was on a 3 am-11:30 am shift this week at work. I rotate to the different parts of…
You know you’ve been working too long at Target when: – you refer to customers as “guests”…outside of work. – you refer to fellow employees as “team members”…also outside of work. – you abbreviate everything. – you start having nightmares…
The following was dictated by my sister Gloria while I typed (the only way I knew I’d get a guest entry). Thanks, G! The Best Thing About Summer: When I was younger, I used to think it was the ice…
I bought 7 goldfish a couple weeks ago, and a Betta. There are now 2 goldfish and the Betta still lives (although it does not eat as much as my last one). The other fishies went belly-up, one by one….
It has been utterly gray outside the kind that shifts my mood from blue to almost purple and back again to white It has been filled with red (I think that is the color of stress) with a bit of…
At work (Target) they play music videos on the TV screens in Electronics. They’ve been playing a lot of Modest Mouse and the Postal Service, as well as Los Lonely Boys. Therefore, I’ve had Modest Mouse’s “Float On” stuck in…
I tried this one in another place and got some really interesting responses. Thought I’d try it again. What is the last positive thought you had?
The reason I have not been online much: my Target internship. I’m loving it, but I’ve worked two 10 hour days and two 8 hour days so far, so I haven’t slept as much as I should and I’ve been…
I’ve been eating a lot of chicken and yogurt recently. I wonder why. In any case, the job is going well, I’m learning a lot although today was rough. 10 hours on my feet = pain. I’ll get used to…
So in addition to Anna Karenina, I have picked up The Rise of the Creative Class from the library, as well as a couple of fantasy books. I also hope to start on a Baha’i book soon, I just haven’t…
Going down a road this single path to choose one foot in front of the other…
While browsing a charming old bookstore in Uptown, in south Minneapolis, Sarah suggested Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy. Since it was only a few dollars, I picked it up. I’m a little less than halfway through it, and I must…
I can’t add much to that.
I liked Minnesota so much, I decided to stay until Sunday. 🙂 I climbed trees and watched movies today. Happiness abounds.
I look around and realize How little I know of the friends that I’ve spent hours and days with The trials in their minds and souls The fragility with which their thoughts are shaped. Clumsy, I stomp through this web…
I was going a little stir-crazy, wondering what I was going to do this summer, when I finally got a phone call from Target for the 12 week management internship program. I got the job! It is paid, and I’m…
If I could sleep right now and dream it would be…perfect. If I could look at you and smile right now I would be so happy. But I’ve memorized that glance with the slow grin And I’ve imprinted every memory…
My parents get magazine subscriptions, so I have the benefit of being able to read BusinessWeek, Fortune, and Newsweek. There is a short blurb in the May 17, 2004 issue of BusinessWeek that talks about an article from the April…
The reason I have been so quiet the last few days? See the pictures below. I cannot function without my computer, and so my parents lovingly provided a desk in the office for me to set up my computer and…
I have a problem with writer’s block. Recently, no matter how hard I try, I struggle with this problem and cannot seem to overcome it. Of course, it is probably stress from various facets of my life manifesting themselves in…
Since I am moving back home on Friday for the summer, my dorm address is no longer valid. If you don’t have my summer address, please email me or leave a comment. My cell # is the same. 3 more…
I have discovered that I really like Orange Roughy, a white fish. This discovery comes about as I am trying to clean out the fridge by eating everything (which makes for some very random meals), since I move out on…
There is some event going on over on the baseball fields. I hear drums and shouting. There is the wind screaming into my window and the roar of the highway 3 blocks away. Cars drive by on the street with…
I hope everyone has a wonderful 9th Day of Ridvan. It begins at sunset today and ends at sunset tomorrow. I have no live plants at my apartment, so I had to make do. 🙂
