Did you all know Thanksgiving is exactly 2 weeks away. I can’t believe it nor can I believe that I haven’t given much (really any) thought to it. Last year was the first year I didn’t cook a turkey, it was wierd but nice. But I long to cook a turkey this year, I spent the morning on the computer looking up new recipes……I have not one but two roasters…..and I desire to cut up celery and onions and saute them for stuffing, but I don’t know if I am cooking anything for thanksgiving…that is still all to be decided. What I do know is that this year I get to spend the night at the Linebargers on Wednesday and make Cinnamon rolls the next morning. I look forward to this, it is my family tradition, and even though my family is far away, I still feel apart of it because I have great funs who allow me to share my traditions with them….All that being sad, Kirsty, Scott, Zach, Abbie, Annie and Zoe……you may be an ocean away but you will be there in spirit…Thanksgiving will be so different without you.

Day 10, day 10 of what you may wonder? I wish it could be something exciting, like 10 days of shopping or eating chocolate or even 10 days of vacation. However it is the number of days I have worked straight, including two that were from open to close. I was thinking that I would get Sunday off, at last a light at the end of the tunnel….but today at 5pm i receive a phone call from our DM saying that the jet tour has decided to come to our store on Tuesday so now instead of enjoying a nice sunday off, I half to work all day sunday, all day monday and tuesday open to close…and I don’t get a day off until Friday… yep that is right, 17 days straight of retail management. I am tired….my feet hurt so much, I long for a massage and a pedicure…..or a care package…yes there is nothing more I would like then to open my mailbox and find a care package. Filled with nice and yummy things……new socks, reeses pieces, hershey kisses, no bake cookies and rice krispies…..yep that is my dream for now at least…and have no fear if I disappear for a while…just come to the galleria…i will be there….
