Whine

I hate my job!!!! I hate the people, I hate the customers, I hate Target!!!!!
Most of the people there listen to me, and tell me Im a really good boss, but there are, like, three people who make working there a living Hell.
They just sit around and complain about work, complain about each other, and when I try to get them to work, they complain about me!!! It does no good talking to them or writing them up, because all they do is whine, argue, and complain, and then they are back to where they were before. So, I ask myself: Is it really worth it to get them in trouble, when they just resort back to the same old thing??? NO!
Especially since my store doesn't fire anybody, and everyone there gets, like, a zillion and a half chances!!!
It just makes me feel crappy because I cant control these few people. Although they are 1/16th of the people who I am in charge of, they make me feel like a horrible boss and a looser.
I have to remind myself of all the good things outside of work. Matt, outdoors, Squirt, Heather, Sisters, Mom, Dad, . . . .
But lately, one person inparticular has been driving me nuts!!!
The boss asked as a favor if I could switch my schedual around, (someone quit) and I think I will just so I have the least needed contact with this girl!!!!
Stupid whore.
Shes just one person, making my day feel like crap.

my new hair do

I took a picture every day for a week, wearing my new short hair in different ways. What do you think?!?!

If this is what having a kid is like, watchout

My poor little Squirt had to have a hair cut today.
For those of you who do not have schnawsers, they get hair growing on the inside of their ears, and it has to be pulled out every once and a while. Kind of like tweezing your eyebrows, except for the ears. It just has to be done. Also, they need their privates shaved b/c otherwise they are running around the house with poop stuck to their rear ends. Then it ends up on the carpet, feet, . . . well, you get the point.
I dropped him off at Petco today, and geeze, I almost took him back home! The people there are weird!!! The one girl, (the one who had Squirt of coarse,) looked like she had just gotten out of prision. EEEK! She had those grey-colored tattoos everywhere, including on her face. (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Poor squirt was putting on the breaks when she pulled him into cut him.
I am now waiting for a call so that I can pick him up.
I hope he didn't loose an eyeball or anything!!!

Bridal disaster

I got married last September, and my dress has been sealed, pressed, and never opened until this very evning.


I watched "Bridal Wars", and they were talking about the "perfect" dress, and how it was what made a wedding.


Well, those of you who were at my wedding know I didn't like my dress, but I was running out of time, and I had been to every dress store in my small local town. (there is about 4 shops there,)


I picked this one.

It looked ok, but I really didn't have that "oh my God, this is the dress!" feeling about it. I thought it made me look a bit heavy, and it wasn't the least of what I had in mind for a wedding dress.

However, after I watched the movie and listened to them talk about dresses and what not, I thought mabye I was too hard on my poor dress.

I went upstairs, undid all the fancy schmancy box do-ups, and out came my dress.

I tried to slip it over my head, but the corset was too tight. I loosened it up a bit, and tried again.

No luck, but I was sooooooooo close, I was convinced that I could squeeze my way up into it.

How wrong I was.

I was stuck in the middle! I couldn't see out of it, I couldn't see my feet, nothing! My arms were swaying above my head like I was praising the Lord, or something. I tried so hard to get out of it, because I didn't want to wake Matt, but after five minnutes of sweating, hustling and bustling, I gave in.

I opened our bedroom door and went in. Matt was sprawled out on the bed as I went over to his side.

"Hey, Matt? Honey?" I whispered. In truth, I was afraid of what he woud say.

And then it hit me.

It was sooooo funny! Here he is, trying to get a good nights rest, and up comes his bumbling wife in her wedding dress, half sticking out of it, begging to be released.

So, as he awoke, I asked him (as I was in histarics) if he could help me.

"Meg!" he groaned.

oh well. He pulled and pulled - I didn't think he would be able to get it - but it finally came off!

I really wanted to prove myself wrong about the dress, but I hate it more than ever now.

stinky bathroom - makes me feel so uncordinated with the crafty!

Ok, so I was trying to re-do my bathroom, take down icky border, a 70's mirror, and upgrade it.
I painted the walls a light green, and was going to paint, with help of a stencil, a vine around the top.
However, things didn't go according to plan, of coarse.
I tested the stencil on a couple of spare cardboard peices, and it worked fine. But when I did my bathroom, it smeared, dripped, and woudn't stay taped on! Sooooooooooo anoying!!!
Any ideas for stencil? Better yet, how do you paint over dark paint with light paint?
Uhhhh.

Baby Talk

So, big milestone here: Matt is talking about baby stuff!
He was saying how he wanted a boy, but then he started saying what girl names he likes.
Although I am turned off by all his names, (Mia? Really?!?!) he is starting to think about babies. Hurrah!
However, he still doesn't admit it to anyone.
When I was telling my neighbors about how I was saying to Matt how we could turn the spare bedroom into a Nursury, he rolled his eyes and shook his head.
So, note to me, don't let the public know that he actually wants a baby. He has to maintain his manly-whateverness.
My neighbor then proceeded to give me warnings about having a child, (whom, which I might add, has never had a kid,) to not have it on a whim. She said to think about our dog, and multiply that by ten. "That will make you re-think it!" She said.
Ok, that may be. My dogs are alot of work, and you have no time for yourself because they are constintly wanting to be around you, but who cares. They love you so much, and are so excited to see you!!!
I LOVE THAT!!!
However, one does have to be utterly selfless, giving yourself compleatly over to your childs whims and needs. THEIR priority comes first.
I don't have a problem with that, but there is still so much I want to do! So many places to go!
I can't wait, and when it happens it happens, but I really want to see where the next year takes me. I really wanted to persue a career in exercize, and I can do that next spring when Matt graduates.
GOD
Its hard staying in retail when you know you could be doing better things with your time.
Pooh.
