Another one of those days

I couldn't be happier today is finally Friday. I had a short week because I was sick with a sinus infection, but it still seemed like a month long week, or maybe just today was a week long day. It was one of those days when I repeatedly had to tell myself throughout the day how lucky I am to have a job. Normally I quite enjoy my job, but today I had one of those days when I was expected to be super woman, and I worked so hard at it today that there were actually a few brief shining moments when I felt like I might really be superwoman, but then the momentum would die down and I found myself gasping for breathe. I don't have any superpowers. I'm just a girl in a cubicle, with a computer and a headset, doing the best I can everyday, but working especially harder on Fridays, the days when everything must be done "RIGHT NOW". So, if you are reading this...the next time you call customer service for anything, regardless of what it is, be kind, and remember that the person on the other wasn't born on Krypton.

Here comes the cold...

Brrrr! I was pleasantly surprised at how warm last night was despite the rain, should have known I would wake up to strong winds bringing in the cold air! It is November after all! I'm so glad that last week I bought a winter coat. This time I bought an all black one. The last coat I had, I picked one with a lot of white on it; and I couldn't keep it looking clean. So, all black for me! :) I also bought a super cute 20's style hat to keep my head warm. I'm not going to lie...I'm kind of excited to get bundled up! (I know that's wierd...but it's like having new clothes. I never can wait to wear new clothes.)

I made chili last night for to have for dinner today. It's a great recipe I got from allrecipes.com and it's made with ground turkey instead of hamburger meat. I made the chili last year but I had used hamburger meat. This time I followed the instructions and used the turkey. I'm sorry but ground turkey is sooooo gross looking before it is cooked, and quite honestly it's a pain in the rearend to cook. After all, it's poultry...so you definately have to make sure there is no pink, so it took me forever to brown the meat, but once everything was put together I don't think you can tell the difference between using the hamburger vs the turkey, except that of course the chili is not even the slightest bit greasy, which is a good thing of course!

Just wanted to put a quick shout out to my lil sis, Charlotte...I'm proud of you for finding a great paying job! You will be a great customer service representative! Go get em! LOVE YOU! :)

Halloween Weekend was fun!

We had a great time this weekend! So wonderful to hang out with great friends and great family! And we couldn't have asked for better weather! The only disappointing thing of the weekend, we went and bought five bags of candy in anticipation of our first year passing out candy to trick-or-treaters, we turned the porch light on at five and opened the front door. I was so excited for all of the little cutie patooties to knock our door for some candy...and we waited...and waited...and waited, and then FINALLY our first costumed kiddie of the night...none other than my beautiful niece Kristen and her mommy! YAY! I was so excited they stopped by. Kristen was so cute in her clown costume! She's crawling now, which is super cute too! Well, they left and then we waited...and waited...and waited. We had at total of FIVE. That's right I can count em on one hand! How disappointing! Oh well, we will know for next year.
