These days

I've gotten a little lazy with blogging. Haha, and ive gotten a bit busy as well. I finally got a job, at Pet Club. Its a privately owned pet store for natural foods and supplies. Like the boutique version of a clothing store, for example. Its okay. Its definitely going to have to work at least until christmas!

Ultimately im just glad to have the job, but its soooo not something im all that good at. Im a clothing store girl. Im used to registers that do all the work for me, Im used to giving opinions on what to wear with what. At my new job, customers come in and ask what kind of dog food will help a dog with cancer, what kind of dog food helps animals with parvo, do we have plaque remover for dogs, what vitamins do you reccomend. and my favorite so far...."can you help me take my dog food to my car?" I am most definitely not used to lifting those bags all day long. And the register...is. so. confusing. Im just hoping i can get the hang of things so I can actually help customers out without having to grab someone. Starting a new job is always stressful, but this one took it up another level for me. At this time, im really really missing my old job at Shade Clothing. Sometimes you dont know what you have till its gone :(

I had a great thanksgiving! Lots of family fun. and a 32 pound turkey that im STILL eating. haha. And another plus, my sweet sister in law touched up my hair for FREE! Thats always nice. Hair can be expeeeeeensive.

Other than that, not much going on. I am thrilled that christmas season is finally here!!! Im currently in a fuzzy robe, with the christmas tree beside me, listening to Andrea Boccelli's (sp?) Christmas Special on PBS, dog asleep on the couch.

This time of year i am just so much happier. I love being able to hug chris and warm up, not sweat. I can work out without over-heating. I can enjoy the hot showers. Winter is just BETTER in arizona.

Im missing my sister vanessa. Shes in colorado with her family now. But they seem to be loving it so im glad. I cant wait to visit. They are going to come down to spend christmas with us!! you have nooooo idea how excited i am about this. Normally we do our family party a week or so before christmas, but this year were doing it christmas eve. Which i think is so much fun to have everyone around on actual christmas. And its so fun to have little kids around, tearing open presents. Thats part of the reason i love it all. Little kids have such a glow during the holidays. The excitement for santa to come, the magical feelings they get, the silly christmas movies, the thrill of FINALLY opening the presents....sometimes i wish I could be little again on christmas!

Well thats all for now. Im going to make some Hot COCOA and snuggle with my lil puppy. Hopefully watch a movie before bed.


NIGHT!
