what a day

Someone I work with is totally crazy. I called and asked what zone she wanted me and the team to do since she was closing and it would affect her the most. She said if I could put one person in every area and have them fold tables, that would be a big help.
Ok, did it.
Done.
The girls came up and told me they were done. The person heard this, and beconed me over, saying they couldn't possibly be done. I said I would walk it to be sure, but I was pretty sure it was done. She said that it wasn't fair, and that we didn't do anything, and this doesn't help her out at all.
Oooo Kay, well, that just made me want to help her sooooo much more.
My team was already working abandon, but over the walkie, so she couldn't resond without being a bitch, I asked all my team to clean up the store, and put abandon away.
Well, that lasted a whole ten minutes.
Now, over the walkie, she was taking my team, person by person, and having them do HER work for her. What was she doing? Probobly complaining to a higher up person how awful we were, ect. ect.
WHATEVER.
A new realization though, it doesn't really bother me. These people are all the same. Always complaining about someone, never wanting to enjoy the day. I don't really care if he hates her, or if someone hates me, because they are so filled with hatred, it spues over onto people who don't deserve it.
Let them talk, let them chatter,
But all in all,
What does it matter?
(See? I made a poem :P)

Happy St. Patricks Day!

For the first time, I can say that I am Irish! Kind of. I married one atleast!!! I want to wear green and go all out, but I have to work tomarrow. Hummm . . . Mabye I'll just wear green makeup and tie green ribons in my hair!!

Have fun, all of you who are going and getting drunk before noon!!!

This Irish blessing was read at my wedding. It is really special to me.

What I did today

It was my mom's 50th birthday, so first thing I did was call and wished her a happy birthday. She wasn't having a good day. My dad put a notice in the wanted ads that said: Happy Birthday Helen Hansen. Call and wish her congratulations on making it over the hill." And then he put our phone number! Mom said that there has been weird people calling, wishing a happy birthday, and then haning up! Husbands, don't ever do this!!! We do not want THIS kind of attention!!!

Next, Matt and I went to REI. We had a gift card there from our wedding, and decided today was the day to use it. Oh my gosh, it was HUGE!!!
It was four stories, (thats right, 4!) and we spend at least an hour there. Matt got a cot, and it turned out that if you became a member, you saved 20%. Well, the cot was 100 dollars, and the lifetime warntee was 20$, so really, it payed for itself.
Now we are official outdoorsman!!
I was going to take a pic of Matt all comfy in his cot, (he has it set up right in the middle of the living room) but my camera broke! Boo. I have had the worst luck with technoligy lately. He is STILL in it! Its soo funny! He has his sleeping bag and everything out, and just watching TV. He says this is the way to go. Ummmm, I don't think so.
Hopefully I can convince him to remove it before Easter!

Three more days till Vegas!

Mom, don't look

So, I have been working on a scrap book for my mom's 50th B.Day present. here are some of the pages!

Ok, I give in to the cutness

As all know, Matt got a golden retriever puppy for a wedding present (sort of,). I started out totally hating the pooch, but of lately, he has been the best dog ever! He listens, comes when called, STAYS, (a big one for me . . . I hate chasing dogs around if they get out. ) He even knows some cool tricks like twirling and shaking.
We got so excited when he learned how to shake, we hugged and shouted every time he did it. Now, when he gets in trouble, he gives us his paw because he knows it will make us happy. :)
He is not even a year old, and he is a wonderful dog. He is going to be that one, I think, that everybody has. That great dog, the one you compare all your other dogs to.
But!
I STILL MISS SQUIRT!!!
Kody tries to be a lap dog. He jumps up on furniture, and into our laps like squirt used to do, but it isnt the same! Mabye if he weighed a few pounds less . . .

Gifts, but no glory.

Being the not-so-patient people we are, Matt and I decided to open our presents on the 13, rather than on actual Valentines Day. I got him a cot for when we go camping, (he doesn't like to sleep on the ground.) and he got me a cute little i-pod! It is purple, my all-time favorite color, and soooooooo tiny!

Anyway, that was Friday night, and Matt had alot of homework, so we said we would try everything out the next morning.

So, flash to the 14th, (i.e. the next morning) and we had slept till 10. I got up and started making my heart shaped cup cakes. They failed miesrably. Since it was cylocone, I thought we didn't need to put any grease in the bottom of the pan, so my first batch of cakes had no bottoms. The next batch, I forgot about, so while they came out of the pan ok, they were rock hard and burnt. My 3rd, and last attempt, I finally got them right. Huzzah!!!

Finally, things start going right!

Yeah right.

I next attempted to make frosting.

For those of you who will be attempting frosting in the future, use POWDERED sugar!!! I used regular, b/c the recipie didn't specify, and ended up with waaay grainy frosting.

The cupcakes failed.

Pooh.

Then, Matt wanted to help me download some songs on my i-pod. I had no idea what to do because I had never had one, and Matt got impatient, which made me mad/depressed, which made me hat the present.

It was a bad, bad day.

Editors note:

After a good night sleep, I like my i-pod again. :)
