Today at work

Alpine Village Family June 27th, 2008

Today at work i had to write about life insurance and Heather said that I should focus on our next launch that involves a whole host of things. I was getting sleepy and I needed to have a coffee to stay awake. So I decided to have a bunch of chocolate And that only worked for a lilttle while and then I fell asleep. But all is well now. Thanks :)

I want cats - lots of them!

Alpine Village Family June 24th, 2008

I love cats and if I could, I’d have 6 of them. I’d love them all equally, loving the first as much as the sixth, and I think I’d even be tempted to let them sleep on my bed :D . Of course I’d not actually do that because my bed would end up filled with cat fur BUT I know I’d want to :D . So, all that said, if you are a cat person, you totally understand where I’m coming from. And, if you are a dog person, you think I’m nuts LOL!!

How do I pick my patio furniture?

Alpine Village Family June 19th, 2008

My new house has a pretty big deck and I know I want to have some patio furniture on it. My problem though is that I have no idea what kind I want. Big table or small? Loungers or regular chairs? Fireplace or just a low table with a candle at night? Should I get a swing for two?? (I do love those!). And, even if I can decide all of that, I still don’t know what material I should have it made of. I know that some of the cheap sets will rust after one season… sigh… Why does something so fun have to be so complicated?

Learning how to do the guy-stuff.

Alpine Village Family June 14th, 2008

I have to set up my house this week. Funny it’s occurring me that I have a whole other side of things to learn. Without hubby to just do all the “man things”, I have to recognize first what they are and second, I have to learn how to do them LOL!! That will be tricky with the electronics because I don’t know video cards from Christmas cards BUT I’ll figure this out ;) . I’m thinking of it as a challenge and I feel pretty good that I’ll come out of it just fine. Thank goodness for the internet and Google - I’ll just Google whatever I need to know and voila, my answer will appear :) Phew!

Is it nap-time yet??

Hmmm… let me check my watch and see… nope it’s not nap-time, but man do I ever wish it was LOL! Have you ever had that happen when you are exhausted but the kids are still FULL of energy? That’s what’s happening to me right now. The kids have just finished a swim in the hottub and now their dad said that they can watch a movie! …yawn… He may have to put them to bed too ;)

The sales-girl peeked into my changeroom!!

Alpine Village Family June 7th, 2008

A friend and I went shopping on Wednesday night. One of the stores we picked was a lingerie store - I love the stuff! So I had lots of fun browsing and picking out stuff - with the sales girl always only a step or two behind my friend and I (I felt like she was stalking me and was getting really annoyed).

Finally I went into the changeroom and about 30 seconds after I went in, as I was getting undressed, the salesgirl popped her head in to tell me that if I needed anything to just let her know :shock: . Now, I know sales jobs aren’t the easiest jobs but it can’t be a mystery to anyone that people don’t like to have a stranger pop their head into the changeroom! Sheesh!!
