We can finally call Carrie and Bryan "Mom and Dad" !!
Carrie gave birth to Lily Ruth Carbol Ritcey on August 17, at 11:47pm. Lily weighed in at 8lbs 12 1/2 oz, and was 20 3/4" long. Bryan just called from the hospital, he was on his way to get something to eat.
I was the last one to hear -- my kids turned the phone down !!
He also said Carrie was tired and sore, but so very happy. She was in labor at 10 yesterday morning, and her contractions were 10 minutes apart when they went into the hospital, so it was a long tough day for her. I want to rush over to the hospital to see them, but I think i'll wait. It can be overwhelming to have everyone crowding into your room when all you want is a shower and some sleep.

This is so Cool !!
I was visiting Keltie's blog, and saw this neat thing to try to spot your perfect career. So I tried it. This is what I got:
Look - Nothing about Installs on there at all !! Amazing !! I can see being an architect, and the medical things appeal to me too. I've had some of these results before, don't ask me why I haven't pursued anything in those fields .... but after the day I had today - maybe I will. Thanks Keltie, this was Cool !!!
| Your Career Type: Investigative |
 You are precise, scientific, and intellectual. Your talents lie in understanding and solving math and science problems. You would make an excellent: Architect - Biologist - Chemist Dentist - Electrical Technician - Mathematician Medical Technician - Meteorologist - Pharmacist Physician - Surveyor - Veterinarian The worst career options for your are enterprising careers, like lawyer or real estate agent. |

Friends ....
It's wonderful to have a friend .... it's even better to BE a friend. (My "pearls" of wisdom for today .... )
You know, that was a DEEP thought .... especially for me !!
"Hello Blog"
Ok, Ok. I admit it. I am the WORST blogger ever. Period.
I think I said I would update this more often. That was how many weeks ago ? I have no excuses. I am worthless. I am pond scum. I am neglecting of you, oh blog. Alright, enough. On with the update.
So where was I ? Oh yeah. Neglecting my blog ... I mean busy at work. Yeah that's it. Work continues to be just that - work. Only a few more days until I head back into the far reaches of space aka the Flooring Dept. I'm excited to go, but there's soooo much stuff to do in the office before I leave. I'm still trying to train Cheryl who's taking over, and with her days off and mine this week, I've been able to work with her for exactly 3 hours and roughly 22 minutes. Give or Take.
Of course, we still have to make sales plan, and action taken, and quotes followed up, etc. Sigh. It's a work in progress .... There's that word again. Work. Ugh. Want to have some fun on your computer ? Make a new folder on your desktop. Label it Work. Or something else equally distasteful. Like dirty dishes or something. Then delete it and send it to your recycle bin. Then delete the contents of your recycle bin. It will prompt "Do you really want to delete "work"?" Yes. YES! A thousand Times YES! It's a small thing, but it makes me feel sooooooooo much better. Sometimes I call it housework, sometimes I call it "Customers that don't listen to what I'm Saying".
On a brighter Note I was at a wedding on the weekend. One of the girls at work, Trellia, got married to her sweetie, Rob. It was a beautiful wedding. The ceremony was outside at the Devonian Botanic Gardens, and then the reception was at the Edmonton Garrison in the Officers Mess.
Her dress was gorgeous, and the train was detachable.
It had a full skirt that she could twirl when she was dancing, and a halter top bodice, perfect for a summer outdoor wedding.
I took the whole gang, and we all enjoyed it so much. Anthony got to dance with the bride, and when we got home he asked me if any more weddings were coming up that we could go to. When I asked why, he said he liked the dancing part ! It was a nice day.
Which brings me to today. Ugh. I worked early, which is the GOOD part, but I have one person away on holidays, and the other just couldn't make it in today. Her son was sick. It's hard to do everything by yourself. Mike, my store manager, came into the office and said jokingly "Where's your staff?". I told him seriously "You're looking at it." Meaning me. LOL. He shook his head and went out .. I didn't see him after that. It was kind of funny. Oh well. Another day, another 25 cents. I think there's days off ahead .... Soon .....
