I love the mittens! And I can totally relate to the sweater woes. This is just your Sockapal000za pal checking in to let you know that your socks have been started and I haven't forgotten about you even though I haven't commented in a while. When are you going to Italy? I was just on a brief vacation but it wasn't nearly as exotic as going to Italy.

Wow, your trip sounds fantastic ... the best vacation I can hope for this year is a trip to Disneyland with a friend to celebrate her birthday. But hey! that's okay, I love Disneyland! It sounds like with all your schoolwork, you deserve to do a bit of relaxing and exploring. I worked on your socks last night ... it's fun to work on them and imagine you opening the package when they come to you. This is the first exchange that I have ever done and I am excited to have you get your socks!

hey don't worry about language with this blog friend ... i am one of the original potty mouth girls especially when i am among my friends! i try hard not to use it on my blog (which you'll see someday) because i work with teenage girls and i have given them the address to it, but when i'm among my peers, watch out! i'm looking forward to the reveal in a big way, and i think only have a little over a month to go!

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...
