whew

didn't think i was gonna make it, but here i am! fully recovered and returned from texas.

returned: the drive was awful, unberable and incredibly long, but i did not have to drug my neice and nephew, not did i kill them. the flight was ok, crazy lady talked my feverish head off (i'll get there in a sec) on the plane. crazy guy talked it off on the buss, but i got home in one piece. unfortunately the pipes weren't in the same condition when i got here...i'll explain later.

recovered: from hideous texas cold bug. damn they say everything in texas is big well they don't brew small viruses i can tell you that! but i'm better now, no help from the stupid doctor lady who yelled at me for coming in when all i had was a cold and for wasting her time, i figure that a bug that hangs on more than a week, destroys my throat and voice, causes crazy high fevers, and results in my ears killing me, that i might actually be sick. but what do i know...

but all is well, i'm back (body and health) and looking forward to snowboarding with the girls, knitting with the girls, (different girls) and if i don't jynx myself... but i may be, just maybe finishing rogue this week. if i don't i'll never get it done once schol starts. so here goes. marathon knitting here i come. just one panic note...i just turned the cuffs under and i'm about a third of the way through the first 2 of 6 balls of mission falls...i'm knitting both sleeves at once on circs...will i make it? yikes. if not i'll just have to find a similar dyelot...ack. how the heck and i gonna do that the stuff is dissappearing like crazy!!! but a little bird told me that they've been bought otut by another mill thats gonna continue the line woo hooooooo!
k, i'm off to listen to a book on cd and knit my heart out!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
