okay, so I don't know why people live anywhere else than in southern California...it is beautiful weather!! Everybody is so cranky in Michigan...no one gets a joke, no one laughs..well because it is depressing and overcast about 90% of the time!! Not too mention everybody is Vitamin D deficient...which makes you moody and unhealthy!! Move it people!! find happiness!!
Attack of the naked men...
So when you work in retail, often times you are called upon to deal with the mannequins...which is fine. However, they are shaped liked real human beings, except their extremities do not move, and require the smallest outfit they can fit in order to look good. It is hard to dress these things!! well the other morning, I opened the store with one of the lung cancer twins and the night before, the other workers had changed the entire floor...but did not have time to get to the male mannequins....so when we walked in...we were greeted by six naked men...and trust me...they are very lifelike.... so anyway...we began to dismember them in order to get the t-shirts on... creating a CSI scene in our very own store...it looked like a a gay serial killer had come through there... we had naked men laying on the ground with no arms...we had arms lying all over the place....it was hilarious... so then came the challenging part..I had to dress these men....and let me tell you, in order to get the pants on..you really have to take ahold of the mannequin, you throw them over your shoulder, get on the ground, pick them up by their butt, and unfortunately other places...I was hysterical...however, the twin, I do not believe, was so amused...she hadn't had her mountain dew yet.. at one point I had a mannequin with just his button down shirt on and I hadn't buttoned it up all the way...he also had on a necklace... i turned to twin and was like we should just leave him like this...make our store a little edgy...she was like, with a scowl " Umm no, we have to have them dressed all the way before customers come in, and we want to advertise our pants"....ummmm.NO DUH!!!! it was a joke...detroitians.... I keep running into trouble with them...no wonder it is so depressing here...twin-it's okay to laugh....hahha..when she finally realized I was joking she gave a sort of half grin and was like yeah that could be funny....ummm-joke over!!! hahah
basketball jones...A hilarious girl...
For those of you who do not know, I am coaching a youth girls basketball team...I'm sure it will be the source of many future blogs. We had practice last night, and I have a hilarious quote from it. We were working on shooting form...mind you they are only 8 & 9 year-olds...so they are all over the place...they love to try hard though. I had two of them in front of me at one basket and one of them was really struggling with her shot. So I completely lined her up, form, stance...all..then had her shoot. She made it in...hooray!! So I said "great job, perfect form!"...she grabbed her ball, came over to me, tapped me on the back and said "please don't say I'm perfect, I don't like that, I'm a bad shooter, so I know I can't be perfect"...I about fell to the ground, it was so cute and sincere, so matter of fact....hahah what do I say to that?
Garthypoo
So...the other night Garth the man himself Brooks bought me an amazing steak dinner!! While he was not there himself, he still payed for three courses!! Amazing. The catch was that he wanted us to join his foundation which supports children. When we looked at the brochure...Uke was taking his time, looking into it...seeing what it was all about...how much he would have to give. Any donation gets you into his foundation which is great, and Garth triples all donations, with 100% going to the children, so it really is very good. Also, each member gets invited to a huge party...with Garth himself, last year it was at his home, everybody met him and Trish!! AHHH!! I grabbed the pamphlet from Jordon...signed us up, and told him that I would pay any amount to see him in concert, especially to meet him, and now we can help out the kids!!! sign the paper!!! NOW!!!!
Giving in to the caffeine
Okay, so as many of my family members know, caffeine has never been my friend. Ever since my days at the local bakery...getting a mocha freeze..and then having to sprint home...literally, (we lived close to the school), I have struggled with caffeine. However, when I continue to consume against my stomachs' will I begin to get very tolerant of caffeine...i.e. coffee...however, stomach problems are not my only side effect...I am like a person on speed when I drink a whole cup of coffee, I'm shaky, focused, fast, awake, energetic, and I can get a considerable amount done...or not not done if I am looking into something else. As of late, I have been reading about how caffeine is really not that good for you...so I want to wean myself off. I cannot. I wake up feeling great, but at about 10:30 I plummet into a glazed over mummy person...I need coffee...so needless to say I am now able to blog because I just warmed up a cup of folgers....someone help me...this could be the death of me and my tummy!
Lung cancer twins
**sorry for not blogging, I really have no real excuse except that I have been busy, I will try to stay on top of it next time!!
Anyways.....so I work for a store that shall remain nameless in a mall that shall remain nameless...and I'm a little sick of it. I mean I get a great discount, they give me pretty flexible hours...just every fricken day....and it really takes no brain power...however, I decided to enter into this working field to make friends...be social..etc... however, there are a few girls I cannot stand....I.E. the lung cancer twins...They are two of the managers at our beautiful store. I call them the lung cancer twins because not only to they start every day with a cigarette and a bottle of mountain dew, but they seem to light up every chance they get, and on my watch...one of them, when confronted by another coworker about her smoking habit said that she started smoking when Tupac died because she was so sad....she's Cambodian??anyways...I believe that's a great excuse for your pack a day, that's always blowing in my face...not too mention she reaks!! But that's not even the one the story is about...its the other twin. Last week I was forced to work at night, not because they forced me, but because I fricken cannot lie. They ask me, "are you doing anything Wednesday night?" well-no I'm not!, but doesn't hanging out with my husband and champ count?? haha...so of course I'll fill in for you, I'm married, going to school, I have no life...so my hours for that night are 4-10pm, which shouldn't be too bad...mall closes at 9pm, as long as I'm done straitening, maybe I can get out early...well I get most of the straitening done before 9, so I'm thinking alright...however, 10 rolls around...and we still have more to do....10:30 rolls around, the manager, whom we are not allowed to leave because no one can be in the store alone still has stuff to do (smoke)...so anyways it's about 11:15 and she tells me that we need to take out the trash..."yipee"...so we take out about 6 loads around the mall to the big trash can in the back...11:30...she tells me that she needs to go to her car....it's personal...but I cant go back into the store..mind you its night in Michigan, it has been raining all day, and it's about 40 degrees...I only have on what I was wearing in the store, a shirt, vest and light jeans...so 5 minutes rolls by, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes...I'm thinking to myself you've got to be kidding, where the h*** is this chick...so I walk back outside towards the parking lot....oh there she is, lung cancer, smoking out back...she says sorry... "i needed a few cigarettes to finish up the night"....yeah while I freeze my a** off, she went out to get her jacket so she could sit outside for half hour and smoke the night away...I wanted to take her cigarette and shove it up.....then take her bottles of mountain dew and .....anyways...just venting, thought you'd like to know about my lovely store, if your in the area and need a smoke...you know where to go!!!
