RUDE CUSTOMERS.....I'm telling SANTA!!

ok i just have to get this off my chest b/c i swear i may something i shouldn't say out loud.

i just had a customer sit down at my desk. i was working on some paperwork for that customer. he then proceeds to tell me i have hairy arms. i have never heard that before from anyone. i don't think i have hairy arms but he just kept saying it. i politely told him that was the nicest thing anyone had said to me today. then he proceeds to ask me if that was rude. so again nice as i could be without crying i told him yes and that he is a very rude person.
he just laughed at me.
how rude!! i was holding back the tears b/c i was so shocked that someone would say something like that to another human.

anyway - i really hope Santa brings him switches for Christmas.

tuesday ramblings....

ok so i'm so bored right now i would rather clean a toilet than sit around doing nothing. this stinks. so it's less than 2 days til thanksgiving and i am so excited. i'm not sure if it is for the fact that i have the day off or b/c i get to spend some time with my sweet granny. i'm traveling to brookhaven and chip is going to his parents house. so we are planning date night for Thursday night. just the two of us and some leftovers. i think that is the part i'm so excited about.
with him working nights we never get to spend time together except on the weekends. but even then we are always pulled in several different directions.

i'm so thankful to have my sweet hubby and i am ready to get the holidays started.

have you finished Christmas shopping? me either. almost though.
i have to get chip something and he is so hard to buy for. he never wants anything or needs anything. and the things he mentions are always way over our budget. we have extravagant tastes. it's a curse. ha ha!! anyway, i'm ready to finish so i don't have to worry about it anymore.

ok i know i'm rambling.
say a prayer that Thursday isn't a gorge fest. i've been trying to eat healthy and have done a really great job. i just don't want one day to ruin it. don't get me wrong i plan on eating and enjoying myself but i have to know when to leave the table. it's so hard b/c that is where we usually end up sitting and talking and laughing all day long. pray i can resist. people keep telling me to chew gum so i'm not tempted. but you have to remember that my Orthodontist won't like that idea, so i'll have to find another alternative. maybe sugar free peppermint candies.

maybe tonight on the Biggest Loser they will have some tips to staying away from the table this year. i'm addicted to that show. i love it.

ok until next time.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

getting ready for Christmas....sort of

i had a pampered chef party the other night and so i made this cake for my demonstration. it turned out too cute.

i'm very proud.

and yes i really made it.

whatever....

ok have you ever just wanted to fall out on the floor and kick and scream like a toddler. i have been feeling that way lately. sometimes i just want to throw a tantrum and cry and scream and just get it out of my system. i think i would feel better.

i've been having a little pity party lately.
sorry, please don't judge me. you know we all do it.
i'm just admitting it.

my birthday was a few weeks ago and chip tried to plan a surprise party.
it would have been successful except the only people that show us were my sweet sweet neighbor Angela and chip's friend Richie. the other 10 people that chip invited didn't bother.
so i've been a little down since then.

i guess the older you get you begin to realize who your friends really are.

ok pity party is now officially over. sorry for the craziness but i promise it probably won't stop.

birthday gift

i totally forgot to post and show all my birthday gifts. i'm so proud of my hubby b/c he can't keep a surprise me with birthday gifts. but his year he did.

i love the trays he got me. i'm a sucker for a serving tray. i have tons.

and of course i love hot pink!!

Mistletoe Update

OK while looking around and shopping there was this booth that had these really cute plaques made up. very expensive but fun to stand and read. there was one that was my favorite, it had the perfect saying....

shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.

oh so true that is. chip is the worst shopping buddy.

but he tried b/c he knew how much i love going to mistletoe. i won't be taking him to Handworks or Chimneyville. i think he's had enough.

below are some of my goodies.

This is a really cook monogram charger that i fell in love with, it's black with gold accents. and the candelabra fits in a wine bottle. i had to have it. i love different things like that.

Christmas ornament, MS State

and of course i always have to get a new Christmas ornament from the Mustard Seed.

too much water.....what was i thinking

ok so I've started a new food plan. we won't call it a diet because that is just recipe for failure.

I've been eating healthy for a few months now and I've been drinking my water. at one time i was a diet coke addict. i have been to rehab and seen the errors of my way, sort of. i still have one every morning b/c if i didn't you would not want to be around me. then water for the rest of the day. my kidneys have thanked me but my bladder is tired. i swear i have peed so many times today the water bill for the building is going to be outrageous.

as long as I'm sitting in my chair and don't move i don't realized that the entire 24 ounces of water I've drank in the last 30 minutes is ready for the dam to break. then i get up and go do a transaction for a customer and I'm dancing all the way to the teller window. I've taken 3 bathroom breaks today with customers at my desk, while the teller was working their transaction. if i didn't run there would have been a really big mess to clean up.

and of course i haven't peed on myself since i was in diapers. (i think)

have a great weekend.

mistletoe is going on and I'm about to have an internal fit to go & shop.

chip is taking me tonight.

I'll update on all my purchases later.

flu shots.....did you get yours

OK Trustmark is hosting a health fair for employees with free flu shots, cholesterol & sugar & triglycerides (too much fast & fried foods) checks, BMI, check your eyes.

1st - I always get my flu shot. I'm not a good sick person and you don't want me to get sick. especially with the flu. my arm is a little sore but I'll live.

2nd - there is no way in the world I'm going to let someone from my work weigh me, tell me my BMI or how bad my cholesterol is. i already know that I'm fat, lets not ruin a good day.

people were in that room lined up like cattle to get weighed and they weren't crying. i would have been crying like a baby. there is no sense is actually knowing the real number. i like being in denial, it's my favorite vacation spot.

3rd - i already know that i eat way too much fast/fried foods. which I'm in the process of rectifying, but let's not kid ourselves. I've only eaten healthy for the past 2 months. i have years of damage in my blood. don't really want to see that number either.

saying all that to say this, i will be flu free this year. better be!

with a BMI of whatever my fantasy world wants it to be. ha ha!!

have a wonderful day and GO GET YOUR FLU SHOT!!

hunger, broken bras, bathroom breaks & crazy customers

I really have no more to add to that title.

today has been crazy.

absolutely crazy.

at 12:30 my Special K strawberry waffles (only 2) with 'I can't believe it's not butter', had totally worn off and I was feeling the hunger pains. I've been trying to watch what i eat and it's been working really good but today i wanted to chew my arm off. so i'm so excited that the customers that are sitting at my desk are almost done asking me the 20 questions they all but not prepared for. as i'm sitting here fidgeting in my seat but i'm about to let loose the 2 bottles of water and 2 diet cokes i have drank in the past 3 hours, two more customer walk in. i'm about to cry b/c i'm starving and needing a bathroom break.

also on top of that, the wire broke in my bra and was poking me in the rib cage. ok yes i'm poor and wear a bra until it breaks. but i know there are several of you out there that this has happened to. if not, i'm really ashamed. not really.....

finally i got to eat and pee and fix my bra.

it turned out to be a good day.

my customers are crazy. totally
