Subject: I work hard for the money!
Hi Anne!
Boy, what a day I had! Well, I was supposed to work 1-9. Anyway, around 9:20 this morning, Mary called me. Kristin called off sick and Mary would have been there by herself until I got there at one. So I volunteered to come in at 10. So I worked 10-9. It honestly wasn’t so bad. There was a lot to do, so the time went by pretty quickly. And I took two breaks- one at 2 and one at 6.
Around 7:30 my mom called. She and my dad were on their way to the hospital. She told me my grandma wasn’t doing so well. I couldn’t leave (I was the only one with the key and who knows how to close). She said it wasn’t urgent that I leave, she just wanted to make sure that someone could drive me home. Shelly did. About ten minutes after I came home, my mom called from the hospital. My grandma is doing a little better. The doctors had to do tests on her, they think she might of had a slight heart attack. About 8 years ago, she had a pacemaker put in. I just hope I can see her again before anything happens. I just pray she doesn’t suffer. I’m just really grateful to God that he helped me get through today!
I would be like you if I were on jury duty. I’d be looking at all the guys. ‘Hmm …that one is kinda cute. That one is even cuter! Is he wearing a wedding ring? Oh, who am I kidding? Even if he isn’t married, he probably has a girlfriend …and besides what are the chances of him thinking I’m the most beautiful creature on the planet and him walking over and starting a conversation with me?’
Good luck to Sara about that job as a bus-cleaner. That sounds pretty good to me to- full time with a minimum of people contact. I’d be willing to work six days a week, eight hours a day if I didn’t have to deal with people! That’s why working 11 hours today wasn’t so bad, I was in the back a lot, straightening the boxes for our collectibles (Boyds, PRecious Moments, etc) and writing the prices on the outside of the boxes.
Oh! Speaking of *****, our inventory was off $50,000!! So they have to come back and do another inventory at the end of the month. I wanted to ask you if it’s possible if ***** could have made a mistake. I mean, $50,000?! I don’t even think we have that $50,000 worth of merchandise in the store!!!
There is a picture of Scott Bakula on the cover of the new tv guide. Have I told you that i think he’s good looking? I used to have the hugest crush on him when he was on Quantum Leap. I still think he’s good looking. I’ve seen him on interviews- he’s such a nice guy too.

> new questions
have you ever driven/rode on a motorcycle? Would you?- no, I never have, but I would. I could just imagine the rush I would get riding on the back of a Harley, my arms wrapped around the chest of sexy, tattoo wearing man wearing blue jeans and a white tee shirt, and I’m resting my cheek on his back and feeling totally safe.
Has the type of man you’re attracted to changed over the years?- Yes! I used to be attracted to the business suit, glasses wearing intellectual. Now I find that the motorcycle riding, tattoo wearing, jeans wearing “bad boy” very appealing. I want the kind of man that looks like a bad boy but is the kind of guy who would cry at Steel Magnolias and gets all mushy around babies and kittens! I want the kind of man who is a Christian and is very open about it, and you would think twice before you would put him down about it!
ever been in a food fight?- I was in a “civilized” version of a food fight. I was at a restaurant with my sister and my two cousins (I was 12 at the time) and we tossed a few things back and forth until our moms yelled for us to “KNOCK IT OFF RIGHT NOW!!”,
do you chew gum a lot?- yes. I’m always paranoid that I have bad breath so Im always chomping on something!

Well, that’s it for today! See you tomorrow. Take care, and God bless!
