Ah, the chaotic holidays are done! How did yours go?
My boss gave me a random Xmas Eve off, so I spent it being lazy 
Today is my last day of work for 5 days. I am on a staycation  Just in time, my phone will be coming in the mail and I get to mess with it 
John will be leaving this coming Sunday  It is his last semester at college! I will have to start saving to go down to this graduation in April  |

The holidays were pretty relaxing for me - we had a pretty small Xmas at my family's house, then a New Year's spent watching tv and drinking champagne with my bf. He's here for two and a half weeks visiting, which is really nice. We've been hiking (there's no snow on the ground, which is super weird!), watching tv, and relaxing. It's been so nice.
Today we're off to the arboretum nearby, then grocery shopping.
Hope you all had wonderful holidays! |

My holidays were pretty good! I had a lot of vacation time left (no money for vacations after buying a house) so I was off starting Dec 22nd and just got back to work today. I'm not feeling the work stuff though - it's so hard to come back and get up the motivation to start things again. Luckily nothing crazy happened while I was out - I did check my email every couple of days, but if things are bad I'll get a call and nobody called me. Yay for a quiet holiday!
My parents visited for a couple days along with MIL and SIL - everything was quiet and I think they all had a good time (well, I know everybody but MIL did at least). I got a stand mixer from my parents (I picked it out, but I was still excited to get it!) and I'm learning how to make bread with it. I've made a lot of bread, but all by hand, so it's been a bit of a learning curve to figure out how much flour to add when I'm not kneading by hand (typically I just do it by feel and don't measure).
Otto looked very sad to be locked up this morning and watch me go to work. Poor buddy! He got used to the freedom every day. |

the holidays were much needed, I got 8 whole days off (not in a row). I spent most of it relaxing, cleaning and rearranging my house, going out because I didn't have to worry about waking up at 7 AM the next day and dragging my butt to work =P sadly, that's all done now, and I've got a 12 day work week (no breaks.. YIKES) coming up.
It's been nice to have time to spend with my parents. We're a little unconventional and don't follow the lunar calendar year, so we just celebrate new years on January 1st. There is a Korean tradition, where you bow to your elders and they say nice stuff to you, and then we have rice cake soup =]
Also.. my boyfriend's sister got me the hunger games trilogy and I've been nose deep in the books since Christmas! highly recommended =D |

Omg, that horrible little turd bit me again tonight! What is his problem? I get out the pumpkin cookies from BB and sit down. He comes over and gets in my lap looking for one. I give it to him and he's eating it out of my hand (he has to crunch it apart). We're all good. Then he was finished, starts looking around, and CHOMP! I screeched and jumped, he went flying a little bit since my legs went up in the air. He stumbled to the floor, ran behind the plant stand, and sat there pouting. |

One of my regular customers came through my line today. She is as crazy about her dog, as I am about Chacha bun! She has a keychain attached to her bag, and the keychain has a photo in it She always changes the keychain photo! She has been wanting to see Miss Diva for a while, so she sai she has another keychain that she can bring for me! LOL! She came back 3 hours later. I am the proud owner of the burgandy heart keychain! I'm going to put the keychain on my clock in key (I can just take it out of my apron and show my customers that ask about Chacha haha!) and change the photo Yay! I'm done with work for 5 days!! YAY! My dad is making Angus burgers and fries for dinner :X *DROOL* |

I'm not sure what's going on, except that we now know he is deaf. The time before this, he wasn't eating anything. He was just sitting in my lap. This time he was eating something, but he had finished it. I don't know if he just wants down or what. I don't understand why he would bite though. I mean, he can get down. Why not just get down? I'm not holding him there.

Aww! Chacha! That is awesome! I sometimes miss being a cashier. I miss my customers. I had a family that would drive way out of their way (at least that's what they said) and wait longer than they had to, just to go through my line. I loved them. The two girls in the family were on a soccer team and I would always ask them how their team was doing.
Yesterday I went to a dollar store in town and one of my repeat customers was working there. He said "are you not working at WM anymore? I haven't seen you in a long time." I explained that I had been moved to the back room and so I never get floor time anymore. I had another guy that would come in and we would swap recipes for tasty treats. I got a tasty chili dip and he got my fruity pebbles treats.
This week, I am modifying my degree, adjusting my work and class schedule a little and then doing the deepest clean on this apartment it has ever had! BF quit smoking! He is still using an e-cigarette but there is no second hand smoke and it is costing a lot less. It's been a week and a half and he already has a lot more energy. I am really happy for him!!!... and my own health! I want to clean all the tar off the walls and get all of the dust out of this place... I also need to pull out the fridge and oven and clean behind them. I am going to change the filters and clean the carpet and couches. |

So far, my Jan is good... Tipsy is calming down from her hormone episode via spay and school is about to start! cant wait! I dont like being lazy. Looking at engagement rings right now wink wink  tehe, cant say when though.
Took my grandma dog to the dog park today. She has one eye and can barely see out of the other and she is going slightly deaf. It has been a while since she went to the DP, and she would get "lost" a lot. So this time, I followed her real close the whole time and she loved it cause she got to enjoy the DP and not have to worry about getting lost. She would look back to check to see if I was still following her, and I would talk to her and she would cock an ear to let me know she heard me haha she is so cute. We went to pick up dog food and normally ppl get weirded out by her lack of an eye, but this guy was so nice to her! He fed her so many treats while he showed us good quality senior foods! Then she started demanding treats haha love that old grandma dog.
OMG just witnessed the cuteness and got it on camera! It happens all the time but I never catch it!
Tipsy will run over to Pearl and lay down under her so that Pearl can lick her ears! It is the darndest cutest thing ever! |

Wow, Mike!!! Awesome!! I love Hondas. I want a CR-V so bad. My mom has a Civic and I LOVE it, but the blind spots a little rough. Is it going to be that color? That is a beautiful blue.
Angie, yeah!! Congrats to you for kicking it! I am so excited about it! |

I'd like to get an iPhone some day. I have a Blackberry (don't like it, but it works) and I've wanted an iPhone for a while but wanted to keep Verizon. In general I'm not an Apple fan, but I think the iPhone is a great product. |

I have the newest IPhone but I don't use any of the functions on it like Seri or whatever her name is that my brother and father do. I just use it as a phone and sometimes a notepad. I pretty much had to change because we all use the same company and stuff for our phones which we pay with our business account.
Overall though, I'm a very big Apple fan - I love my Macbooks alot. |

Sarita, my one reason to not get an iPhone is that I probably won't use any of the functionality either. I do really like having a smart phone for checking Google Maps and occasionally looking up a restaurant or whatever when I'm out somewhere, but generally I just use it as a phone. But since I'm already paying for a smartphone plan I might as well stick with it and get an iPhone. Maybe I'll actually use more functions since it'll work much better than my blackberry. |

I'm one of the people giving her crap about it 
I'm very much against Apple, as they charge so much for a product it's crazy. And they get away with it because people will buy it just for the name, even if they can't use non apple products with it. I'll give crap to anyone that if I feel strongly enough about it And don't get me started on Sony either lol. |

I buy Apple because it is an amazing product. I LOVE my macbook, it's lasted longer than any other pc laptop I've owned or my husband has owned (he still uses a PC). I haven't found a product I've needed/wanted to use and couldn't because I have an Apple. You get what you pay for, I paid something like 1400 for my laptop, and the support I've received from english speaking reps + the quality of my laptop itself is well worth the money that *I* worked for and decided to spend on it. I literally can't stand the hypocrisy of self-proclaimed Apple haters. Its just a brand. Who CARES?? |

MB, they are more expensive but from what I understand (and I'm no geek person), the cost that you might invest in an Apple is because they already have the software uploaded and that is not the case with regular computers. But like, I said, I'm not a computer geek.
What I do like as well from Apple is that they truly do have superior customer service compared to other computer companies in my experience. I think their employees truly love the product and are very well trained and very loyal to their product. It's hard to find this in a company now and days.
For my job, I have to use a PC because most of the companies I work with use that platform, but I don't enjoy working on a PC after havig a MAC.
I try not to be an Apple snob like my brother and dad though but I do enjoy their products :~) |
