Its been a while. Miss me?

I have now beaten up my boyfriend....lol. Poor guy gets so much shit from me. I thank God he can take a joke.

Not much is new, honestly. Ive been working. Not my normal 40, but close enough.

We have a new store manager who dishes out hours way differently than the last manager. My last one would give hours if you asked. Which was always nice. She had her select few, me included, that would get overtime if we asked. The new guy, Im scared to ask! I got 'yelled' at for asking for 4 more hours this week. Sheesh! Im going to make a really good assumption that nobody will be getting any overtime anytime soon. Oh well.

All is well here. The weather has been unusually cool for this time of year. A ceiling fan keeps the house cool. Ok....a few ceiling fans.

Work is work. Im doing 2 overnights this week so we can set the 'back to school' set. It is one set that I hate doing. So many pens and pencils. A lot of product, not many people, and 2 days to do it. OH, and Eric will be here Friday. OH, and we have plans Friday to go to a girlfriends house for a cookout. It will be an interesting day, to say the least.

Im looking forward to seeing Eric. I miss him. I talk to him everyday. We text, talk and IM a lot. There hasnt been a day since he found me that we havent talked. I think, correct me if Im wrong, we are going on 3 months now. Time has gone by so quickly.

I have taken a few vacation days to go to Pittsburgh to see him later this month. Should be exciting. Im taking the train instead of driving. It takes the same amount of time either way, but a train just sounds more exciting. With the price of gas, I hope to save a little money.

Race weekend in 2 weeks. My kids and I are all so excited. The all access pit passes fell through. Im still a little down about that, but I know that my day will come. For this, Im patient. My kids dont have tickets to the race, but they have so much fun tailgating in the parking lot. Its a night race. First one for Chicagoland Speedway. Its going to be a long, WONDERFUL day. I can NOT wait! I will post pictures when I get back.

My back is, well, sore. At the end of the day, its good to just lay in bed. Then I die. 230 is early. Or late, depending on when you typically go to bed. I have adjusted better than I thought I would. By Thursday, Im tired. Friday morning sleep in is a wonderful thing. I wish I could work 32 hour weeks every week. That joy ride will come to an end soon enough.

So I tried to post every day. Then I tried to post every other day. Now I just dont have a damn thing to say. I guess my life before work was more exciting.

I do have one thing I havent shared. Im on a diet. The doctor said lose weight, so I am. I dont have a scale, so I dont know how much Ive lost. The jeans tell me 10 or so pounds. Im sure Eric will say more.

I have given up on red meat. Its been almost 4 weeks now since Ive had a hamburger. Ive switched to turkey burgers. They are amazing! Slap a few on the grill and they are pretty damn good. I have also quit eating sweets. Thats hard for me as I love my chocolate.

My youngest son made brownies last night. I would die for a good brownie. Well, after they came out of the oven, I just couldnt help myself. I had a very small one, and it was like heaven! Thankfully they arent as good the next day. I like mine fresh, hot and right out of the oven. He said hes not making anymore. lol

When I find out how much Ive lost, I will let you all know.

All for now. Need to think about dinner for my starving children.

If Im not here before the 4th.....Please everyone have a safe one and have fun!!!

Peace Out....
