anticipation

I have lots to do before we leave for Chicago in the morning, but I need a few minutes to chill after my 8 hour work day.

As much as I enjoy my job (most of the time,) there are many days when customer stupidity just about drives me mad.

Today was one of those days.

For example...

-The man who stands at the counter while I have five inventories to do, and rants about how stupid it is that the rating association puts "smoking" as a reason for a PG rating. As he does this, he takes deep breaths through his portable oxygen tank. Irony? I think so.

-The customer who stands at the counter, and when I ask "Would you like these for 1 or 5 nights?" they answer "No."

-The customer who asks me (rudely) for a bag, to carry his 2 movies all the way to his car. Really?

I could go on for a while, but there is really no point.

I just have to focus on the nice customers who actually realize that I am a person.

They are great.

Jamie and I took Natalie to Western Boone yesterday, to kind of give her a head start for when she starts there tomorrow.

It was weird.

They have remodeled it, and it looks way different.

But, hopefully it gives Nat the head start she needs to start things off right.

Jamie and i pray about her a lot.

She has a lot of things stacked against her,

so we just try to be the best examples possible, and spend lots of time with her.

We love her.

My Tortellini Con Colore turned out great, by the way!

My only complaint is that the pea pods are so big, that it is hard to get them into your mouth with anything else. I think I will chop them in half next time.

Well, we are off to Chicago in the AM, and won't return until Saturday.

I am so excited.

Especially to get to spend three uninterrupted days with my husband.

It is kind of our last hurrah before school.

Pictures to come.
