Ok so it's been a while since I wrote. Seeing how it's 2:54am and I haven't slept yet and I have an audit to attend to at 6am..I figure I won't go to sleep at all and that leaves me time to update this journal.
Well..I'm sitting here wishing I was like my husband, sound asleep in a nice warm bed instead of on a cold couch with tired eyes and a mind that won't shut off.

First off..I had my audit at my store last week and I must say that I am quite proud of myself for handling it well...seeing how it was my first audit alone. My score: 100% and in the eyes of my mentally challenged(seriously) co-op student, "That's pretty good!" LOL Ya gotta love her!

My District Manager(who has resigned) has his last week this week. How depressing!!! He's so nice and actually cares. We had a dinner for him last Friday. It was really nice and I almost cried. I will post pics...I just have to get them from another manager...
AND now the districts for my company are re-aligning and I do not like it one bit. I am no longer in T55....now I am in T51...which is the North stores! This blows!! But I will not bore you with these details.

I am finally getting vacation!! I plan on taking 7-8 days(depending on the manager). I am going to sit on my ass and do nothing. Well...I was thinking of taking 2 days to clean out my old room at my mom's completely. And Darren and I will go for a nice massage....ooooh I cannot wait!
Darren and I decided to take our REAL vacation near our b-days..(October) just b/c it's not the right time now for him to go...(damn work).

Is that enough of an update??

heehee How cute!

Haahaa These were taken like 2-3 years ago with Darren's camera phone. I call them my model pictures! lol

Darren And I

So my New Year has been going well so far!
~I have recently joined FACEBOOK.COM which is a way cool website that allows me to find and catch up with people that I went to school with. Not just high school but elementary school as well. I found so many people that I have lost contact with..how exciting.
~Also...My previous manager had his baby last week! It's a boy! How cute!! Now I can go out and buy cute baby clothes and toys! :P
~Darren and I have decided that we'll probably go on vacation near the end of February! We have found this cool place in Varadero, Cuba! We're going to continue to look for places and if we don't find any then we'll go there. I can't wait!!
~ The only drag about the holidays and New Years is that I was unable to see my mom often b/c of work. My New Year's resolution is to spend more time with her.
~ I have started taking Iron pills and vitamins everyday and now I feel much better...not tired as much and healthier. Not that I'm not healthy or anything(I am quite healthy)...it's just now I feel much better...which is a bonus!



That's me and Tecka when our store went out to dinner together at Mandarin. Aww I miss Tecka!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here's what I got for christmas:

From Darren: A cozy white robe, mp3 player(although I was going to buy it for myself but then he bought it), Futurerama dvds-seasons 1 & 2, The Da vinci's Code DVD book set w/ extra items(from the internet)
From Parents: Shopper's Drug Mart gift card, $70.00, pajamas from Lasenza, and small stuff in my stocking
From Caitlin: Family Guy Painted shoes!!! AWESOME!! Darren wants to steal them! and a Precious Moments figurine that opens so you can put tiny items in it. It's so cute!
From Brother/sister in-law: $50.00 Yorkdale gift certificate
From Scott & Larry: Chocolate, a scratch ticket, 2 Smiles bucks, and Tim Hortin's gift certificates.

Not a bad xmas at all. But the best thing I got was a christmas card from Darren on christmas morning. I know you're probably wondering why...well if you knew Darren, I never get b-day cards, x-mas cards, or most of the time anniversary cards. So to my surprise, he got a card for me this year and gave it to me when I woke up on x-mas morning. How sweet! :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Well...my week before xmas sucked! I had to work everyday(except Thursday) which tired me out so much! We also had to tag a new sale and re-arrange our store to get ready for our Athletic Sale. I'm going to buy a pair of CHAMPS for myself...and a bunch of clearance stuff!
Darren and I went boxing day shopping. What a mistake. We woke up at 1pm...so of course that puts us at the mall kind of late...dead center of the busy time. We went to Vaughn Mills first...we bought a few items. OH Darren bought me the first two seasons of FUTURERAMA...I'm so excited! lol
Then we went to Yorkdale around 6pm..it wasn't TOO busy but we didn't find much there either.
I dread going to work tomorrow! I love not working!! I work 12pm-10pm(still extended hrs)...but then I have Thursday off!! :) YAY!!!

I went to the doctor's on Thursday and I told her that I am always tired and such so she put me on Iron pills and I have to take vitamins everyday now. I eat healthy but I'm still not getting all my vitamins so she said that I should see a change within a couple of weeks. I see a bit of a change. I don't sleep in as much and I am not EXHAUSTED any more...so that's good.

I suppose that's it for now.
Ciao

So...about my eye...
It was swollen for the whole weekend (Thurs-Sun). It would calm down and then when I went to sleep it would puff up again! Sheeezzz..I'm glad that's over with! AND I still do not know what caused it at all!

Today was exciting. The Payless managers and assistant managers in T55 all went bowling together for xmas(well not everyone went). It was fun! I got to know more people and even won prizes! I won a $25 gift card for East Side Marios and a "spa" basket with soaps and lotions. Now of course my arm is really tired...lol.

Sorry..but I suddenly got too tired to write anything else.
Some other time...
