alpaca!

so my mom, dave, and i went to the alpaca extravaganza in longmont today. and no i'm sorry, i don't have photos. but i did get so see my mom making kissy faces with one of the sweet super soft beasties! of course they all seemed to run away from dave. i don't know why. maybe they thought his baldness was contagious? whatever it was they put their ears back or just ran away :) and guess what. i didn't even buy anything! i looked but didn't find anything i couldn't live without. however, dave showed interest in raising alpacas...i know i should be extatic. but really, i'm just confused!


we went snowboarding at beaver creek yesterday. or i tried to. i wasn't feeling well and ended up sitting out the day. and i have to say, i think i shouldn't knit when i feel bad...i tried to cast on and starrt on my second sockpaloooza sock, i finished about an inch and a half, and the lace pattern came out all crooked so i'll have to rip them out. i just can't give anything to someone that looks this funny! ah well i guess i get to cast on again.

well i'm off to do homework or lie in bed or something i can't decide which :)

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...
