November 2009
Friday, November 27, 2009 My Thanksgiving was alright. Sean and I woke up at 4am so that we'd be able to go to bed early. We had to get up at 2:45am so that we could go to work this morning since our stores had to be open by 5am. Black Friday is just ruining Thanksgiving. I enjoy the turkey, as it will always be Turkey Day to me. I also enjoy eating turkey leftovers for almost a week. My mother-in-law got a 22lb. turkey this year for the four of us. I sounds so crazy, but she needs to broth for her homemade noodles and for gravy. Plus Sean's family has ham on Christmas, so they aren't getting overloaded with turkey or anything. I however do not like ham. It started off with them getting me some turkey from the HoneyBaked Ham. Then it moved to his mom making me a cornish hen. Then I just made chicken stew on Christmas Eve last year to eat on Christmas. I believe that is what I'm going to do this year as well. I really wished that I liked food. Finding things to eat is hard and disappointing when you don't like anything. I've just always been a really picky eater. I have wonderful memories of sitting at the kitchen table long after everyone had finished eating with a plate or food I didn't like in front of me. I was extremely picky, my sister became a vegetarian... my poor mom. Anyway, my family always has turkey on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we didn't have crazy leftovers so it was never turkey overload. To finish my point, Thanksgiving is ruined as long as I'm working retail. If you are one of those people who rush out to shop on Black Friday, I would just like to state that you are quite insane. Someone apparently decided they just want to have crazy sales one day of the year, force people to start shopping on Thanksgiving, make people utterly insane about getting "that amazing sale item" so much to the point that they are harming others, and just ruining humans in general. Monotone - "hooray." Moving on with the whole retail thing... I'd love to leave it. My only problem is that I have no idea what I would want to do. I do have a degree, but it's useless. There just doesn't seem to be anything that interests me even slightly. I'd hate to move onto something that I end up not liking, or even hating. My job is decent and I now get 3 weeks of vacation, 2 personal days, sick time... I'm just not a people person. I would love to sit in an office and do something on a computer and not really have to deal with people. I'm good with pretending to like people, but I honestly don't. I wish I had known that I wouldn't be able to do anything with my degree I earned and that it required more schooling and experience. I could have done something with computer networking instead. I just don't know what to do. Thursday, November 19, 2009 We went on vacation at the end of October to St. Augustine, FL. It was alright. There really isn't all that much to do there. We went on Ripley's Ghost Train, Ghosts and Gravestones (which was better than Ripley's), went to Castillo de San Marcos, the Lighthouse and Museum, Fountain of Youth, Potter's Wax Museum, played some miniature golf, went shopping, and went on the Black Raven Pirate Adventure. The pirate cruise was the best thing we did while we were there. If you are ever in St. Augustine, go on the Black Raven. We also ate at Steak 'n Shake 3 times while there for 4 days. We would have eaten there more, but our eating schedule was off so we could only make it once per day. That and we couldn't find it the first day we were there. I really wish ours hadn't closed. Now the closest one to us in 2 hours away. Plus we went to the movies on the last day since we didn't have anything else to do, and we went to an awesome theater. It was new and called Epic Theater. Everything about it was just so nice, and the picture was insanely clear. In September, Sean and I decided to get a bunny. We started purchasing all of the supplies and the bunny barn. Our bunny was spoiled before we even got the bunny! We waited until after we got back from vacation to actually get our bunny though. We started thinking of names, and Sean ventured into DragonBall Z names. He was stuck on the name Zarbon, but I said no. Then he ventured into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and started just rattling names off. Then came the names Bebop and Rocksteady. I laughed and said Bebop, and told him since he said the name that it had to be it. We have a dwarf rabbit named Bebop now. She's fun. I believe she's about 11 weeks old. It's hard to say since I got her from a pet store. I looked into adoption, but there were no rabbits available for adoption anywhere close by. Plus she may not even be a dwarf. I guess I'll find out in a few months when she's fully grown. I really don't care if she is or not, I just didn't want a giant rabbit. My original intentions were to get a Mini Rex, but they only had one at the store and it looked exactly like my Bunny I used to have. Bebop was the most adorable bunny there, so she was brought into our home. While we were planning on getting a Mini Rex, Sean wanted to name it Bunnysaurus Rex. I told him the name was too long. So now Bebop is a Bunnysaurus, but it isn't her name. Archives |
