I'm still so lost on this new blog look. Not really on here enough to take the time and figure out what's different. Work has been crazy this past week! But I've actually enjoyed myself. Monday I worked my usual shift 6:30 am and was only scheduled til 1 but stayed til around 2:15. The last 3 days were my 4 am shifts. We have been remodeling this week so one of the area supervisor's and one other employee were the overnighters and they took everything OFF the shelves. Then me and another employee went in at 4 to put everything back. That may sound simple but let me tell you, it is very time consuming. Having to move shelves after the guys that came to put them together already had them set up, and following the map as to where which merchandise goes where. Not to mention, everything is completely different from where it was before so we had to learn the flow of the store all over again. The reason me and the other guy that I work with were the ones chosen to do these lovely early shifts is because he is the former full time hardlines (aka home depsrtment) associate and so he had to train me as I will be getting his old position, because he's going to another location. So I'm excited about that! After all my hard work and a long 4 years (almost 5!) I'm finally getting what I know I very well deserve. I will also be back up mod (manager on duty) and once an area supervisor position opens up it's mine :) I'm so thankful for the hours I've put in this week. All full shifts and even some overtime! Which is perfect timing because that gives Josh and I more money towards our Oregon trip as well as bills. So Tuesday was the start of my early days 4-1ish, Wednesday 4-12, and today 4-1. Tomorrow I'm 10am-6pm. With the weekend off (sleep sleep sleep!). That only adds up to about 40 hours but recently they changed some things withe the company. 24 hour rule. So for example, since I worked at 6 am on Monday and had to be back the next morning less than 24 hours hours from my Monday shift, it counts as 2 hours overtime. That only applies if it's a full shift. So had I only worked say 6-10 and then my shift Tuesday was 4-8 then it wouldn't be overtime. I hate that rule and I know the managers do because it makes it so much more difficult to make the schedule. Well enough of my blabbing. Going to do a post on my beautiful nieces and handsome nephews.

Tahoe

We made a short trip up to Tahoe today! I was a little bit nervous as it was our first "trip." But it wasn't that bad really, we took 395 and 50 so not too much windy roads to deal with. :) I think I prefer going up rather than coming back down. We met Josh's Dad at Harvey's and ate at the hard rock cafe. It was a nice little visit. He works so much so it's very rare that Josh is able to see him. But he took the day off today and is working in San Fran at the moment so he was able to drive to Tahoe and have lunch with us. We are all planning on going back and meeting up for my bday/4th of July. So that should be fun :) Hopefully there will be rooms available to stay in! There are just so many things we have planned for this summer, I'm so excited and hopefully we will be able to squeeze in a trip somewhere to go to San Lorenzo to see his grandparents. I have met Josh's grandpa already but not his grandma. (Josh's Dad's parents) We have our trip to Oregon in June and then of course Tahoe in July, beginning of August my sister, nephew and brother in law will be here and then Stephy at the end of August. So we might squeeze in that trip to San Lorenzo maybe the end of July. We shall see. Well I will upload some pics of Tahoe later. Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Mean Kitty!

We go to the humane society every now and then whenever we're bored since we live right down the street... It's nice to visit the animals every now and then since we don't want any of our own at the moment

Like I've said before, not really sure why I bother posting because I am most certain
no one reads this thing. lol
But I do it for myself when I have nothing to do. And as you can tell I don't really have much free time considering I don't post much lately.
Well and not to mention I am tired from work. :)
Hmm.
Well just the usual. Work. Sleep. Eat.
I've been trying to gain weight so I am trying my hardest to eat every meal and snacks in between. And I think it's really helping, and it's helping me have more of an appetite, since I'm getting myself used to making sure I am eating every meal. I just really hate packing a lunch for work and I am not a microwave meal type person. They are just so disgusting and remind me of fake food. I prefer an actual meal so I try to bring leftovers and of course lots of little snacks like applesauce, chips, fruit roll-ups, etc...
Work... well not much to say about it just work! lol I did get employee of the month though, so that's good. And it gives me an extra $50.00 to shop! lol I was quite shocked when she called me into the office and told me that she'd like to have me as associate of the month. I didn't really know what to say so I just went with "Thank you." She said she chose me because she appreciates how honest I am and also I've been doing markdowns (we do them every week on Mondays and sometimes Tuesday & Wednesday depending on payroll) which is when we scan certain items in the store and they go on clearance. We have a certain goal we have to make and because of me, I've helped them reach that goal. So yay me :) I love feeling accomplished!
Family...
I miss them so much! Josh and I are going to be going to Oregon in June. I am excited but so nervous as it will be our first actual trip in our car. Apollo is getting so big it's crazy!!! He's almost 10 months! He's talking a lot, started walking already about a week ago, he waves and shakes his head. Such a smart baby :) Obviously he does more than that but those are just a few that I figured I'd name off. Malea shaved his head because people kept making fun of how his hair was growing in uneven (it looked like a mohawk) and she regrets it now so hopefully it'll grow back fast. He's the cutest little boy. Big blue eyes, long eyelashes. Looks just like his mama. :) I'll upload some pictures later

I love my wittle Poyyo
