'You could fry an egg'

So yesterday we went to the Tiger's game. Oh my hotness. We thought we were going to die. It read 93 on the temp thing and we were sitting in the sun. I put sunscreen on but got burned anyways. The seats were so hot the lady in front of us was like 'you could fry an egg on this!' I didn't feel like drinking, I had 1 margarita and wondered why I wasted the $6.50. I've never seen Jackie's face that red before. We left at the end of the 7th inning. The people mover was air conditioned so that was nice. Adam Ford came with us and he was telling us that he is going to run for State Senate or something like that. He is very business minded. My friend/supervisor from Panera came to the game with her b/f and she was funny. I've never hung out with her outside of work and she was like I don't know why we don't hang out! She was a little buzzed. And she told me that our general manager at the store needs to move someone up but that 'Sarah, Chris and Julie have bad attitudes.' I was like what?! Ok whatever, I can show her a bad attitude if that's what she wants! My friend told her that maybe it was because she kept giving us promises and never followed through on them. So I pretty much have known that door was shut before but now I really know because if she thinks that then she won't be helpful and won't pass on my resume to the district manager. No one thinks she is a good GM. Now I see it.
Friday night I worked and we did nothing exciting, watched Hoodwinked. Saturday was the bbq. I decided to take Duke because Mike's yard is fenced in and he could run around and play with the dogs. Who knew that he would have some sort of hatred towards Skippy. So he had to be chained up the entire time, barking and annoyed. I felt bad because he would have been better off at home. The food was delicious. Meat, yum! I had like 3 helpings. The cheeseball Julie made was delicious and the cookies that Jackie brought were gone. And I got drunk, it was fabulous. Then we went home and watched the Pistons and Beckie called because she wanted us to come back but when she gave the phone to Ryan he was like 'you don't need to come back.' Beckie went to bed a 1/2 hour later....I passed out on the couch. Sunday I worked again and it was SO slow. And like 85 degrees in there, it sucked. Went home and me and Jackie watched Rumor has it. Finally about 11 I was like um can we turn on the air? I was hot. It felt much better. I feel bad for those that do not have it!
Last night I was so tired but restless too. I fell asleep at like 12 but woke up at 1. Then at 6 I had a hard time getting up. It looks like it is going to be another scorcher. It is freezing in here though. Then I go to work at Panera. Oh ya, Sunday this kid that I work with sniffled while making a sandwich and this lady freaked out and was like I don't want him making my sandwich and went on and on about it. She also included that 'AIDS was going around.' What!? Apparently it's getting spread like the common cold? She even called back later to talk to the manager and then wanted to talk to the GM. It was so dumb.
Well I better be off. I have to try and warm up my hands.

Top Chef and Cheese Sticks

So yay for the shows last night! Taylor and Harold beating out people that I didn't really like. I didn't mind McPhee from Idol but I liked Taylor better. On Top Chef I like Harold much better and partly why I think he won was because Tiffani was a bitch. They tried to say it wasn't because of that but I'm not so sure. And we ate cheese sticks and potato bites while the shows were going on. Bad! I was hungry yesterday. I had breakfast of a mushroom and cheese omellette then I didn't eat until 6:30pm because well one I didn't have any more money and 2 because I was gone until then. I went to the gym after work and just did like 45 minutes of cardio. I was sweating my ass off. Then I took a quick shower and went to Target, we had run out of toilet paper yesterday and didn't want to run out of kleenex too! I bought everything for under a $ except the TP. I was proud. They have bread for 82 cents there! And it is good! Everything food wise is cheaper there than at grocery stores.
So I haven't had fast food in 11 days. That is a record for me I think! Well except when I was on ww. I mean I ate cheese sticks, yes, but no greasy cheeseburgers (my favorite) or anything like that. I have ate turkey sandwiches, a lot, Monday I ate a 1/2 frontega from Panera and Jackie made taco salad with ground chicken on Tuesday. Since I've been doing cardio I have been more hungry but at least now I'm not eating bad AND not working out. One thing at a time.
This weekend I work on Friday and Sunday and Saturday we are going to Mike's BBQ extravaganza. And Monday we are going to the Tigers/Yankees game. Our friends Phil and Michelle are suppose to come, yes, DBG, but he hasn't gotten back with us. I hope he comes, I haven't seen him since his wedding. And Adam Ford is coming too! GM Card left me with a lot of friends that I still talk to and hang out with, good people. Jackie, Jessica, Ryan, Steve R., John S, Phil. Even Lorenzo, even though I don't talk to him much I know he has my back in case I ever needed him. Ah the GM Card.
Oh happy day, S just emailed us and told we could wfh tomorrow. She has been lobbying for us since yesterday. Every chance we can convince the big B to let us do that. So yay!

Weekend update

Even though I only get paid like 7 something an hour at Panera and scheduling can sometimes be a bitch, at least they give quarterly raises and a company picnic. I figured it out that I probably get at least 10% raise every year from there. And we get 'you guys are doing a great job, you are what makes this place run, we appreciate you.' And free food. Here, we get nothing. No team meetings, no free food, no 'hey great job', no raises every year. Keep the employees happy and productivity will increase! They don't understand that concept. But if you mess up, well hey, they will pounce on you in a second.

We had a nice day on Saturday. Ran errands, took the table and chairs out, grilled, drank, went to the Tigers game. It was actually a good game and it is cool to go to them. We walked back to the Ren Cen from the game. The hoedown was going on so there were a lot of people around. Then we went to Beckie's cousins for her birthday. It was good to see everyone and Ryan was there, yay! I don't get to see him much. I ate lots of cheetos and salsa. Sunday I cleaned and we watched 9 to 5, ok I've never seen that movie and I guess that is wierd but I never got to watch tv when I was little and that movie came out in 1980. Then we watched Twins and I had to go to work. I was suppose to be there at 3 but I thought it was 4. So at 3:30 they called and was like oh um you were suppose to be here and you aren't on crispanis you are on line now. So I went and 1 guy called in and then the other girl with me had bronchitis and was coughing every 5 seconds so they sent her home. So I had to close by myself, luckily the Pistons were on and it wasn't busy and we had a bread bash and so people helped me close. The bread bash was like normal. I got my little 'review' which we are suppose to have every quarter and I have never had one and I've worked there for almost 2 years! I was just a meets expectations for everything and the comment was that I should be more helpful and show more team work since I was a trainer. I had to blow it off because at the end of the night I ALWAYS help people close, cafe, bakery, I usually do both! So that kind of pissed me off. The person that did it only works with me maybe once a month so I don't think it was really a fair assessment of my helpfulness! Whatever.

I might have to call in tomorrow because I have no money for gas until later tomorrow afternoon. How sad is that?!!! It sure doesn't give me a good feeling. Staples got robbed, that is right across from us in the parking lot of Panera. They caught the guys but still. They came in at 8:58, 2 minutes before they closed. 'Desperate people will do desperate things. Especially in times of economic hardship. And that is where we are today.' That is what our general manager said. It would be easy to rob a place. She told us if someone has a gun well just give them whatever they want because we can't 'beat' a gun. Hopefully that will not happen!

I talked to my Grandma today. She didn't answer at first but that was because she didn't make it to the phone in time. Her hip causes her a lot of pain. She seemed in good spirits until she started talking about when we made her dinner 2 years ago after Grandpa was gone. Then she started crying. So then I got all teary eyed. She said it seemed harder this year and how he was such a great grandpa and how he loved taking care of us and she always trusted leaving him with us (well that is good). I think she probably just forgot how hard it was last year. I just hope she doesn't give up. She lives on her own in a 3 bedroom house on like an acre of land. My cousin goes over and mows the lawn. She said that she doesn't drive that much because she doesn't want to get in an accident but she still goes to canasta and she is in the red hat society. So anyways, she likes to talk about the past which I can see happening because I like to talk about the past too. When they were first married they bought land in Centerline, I'm like hey that is near us! But then they decided to move to Lansing by their parents. They used to window shop in downtown Detroit. I'm like ya that doesn't happen too much anymore... They put a downpayment on a house for $10! My grandpa only made $37 a week. She kept saying 'if you know this already let me know.' But I didn't know about all that. So it was good to talk to her, and when we were saying bye I could tell she was starting to cry again! :(
I have to work tonight and tomorrow we are going to the Tiger's game. Maybe we can meet everyone at Shores if they are still there.... It is suppose to be nice tomorrow so I hope it is. I went and saw MI3, it was actually better than I thought it was going to be. I liked the characters in it. 'Felicity' and the other character from Felicity and Alias were in it, and the main character from Shaun of the Dead! Not as funny as that movie. Then me and Jackie were watching the outtakes from Will and Grace and we were cracking up. 'Jackie' and Karen were so funny.

Alright well I haven't ate fast food this week, and I have exercised each day doing something at least. Today my walking partner isn't here so I don't know if I will be able to do it! I have to, I can't sit here all day, it is so boring already!

Remembering

2 years ago today my Grandpa passed away. There are certain things you just remember every year. I don't know why I have to remember this. I was working from home and I knew he had not been doing good. He was in hospice at home and I went and visited him about 5 days before. He looked very frail on his hospital bed and he was very talkative. My Grandpa was always the quiet one. He let my Grandma take over with everything. He told me that he felt very uncomfortable. I rubbed his shoulders and you could just tell he was so tense and he told me that it felt really good. My grandma was like you don't need to do that. I'm like Grandma, if it makes him feel better than I will rub his shoulders until I leave. He told me he will get better, he hoped he would get better. And I tried not to cry and told him that I hoped he would too. But everyone knows what hospice means. So I left that day and today 2 years ago my grandma called me, crying and told me that she thought it was 'going to happen today, he isn't going to live through today.' She told me to call Anna and tell her and that my parents were on their way up. I got drunk that day. Luke had been planning on coming over and we had been planning on going to Birch Run, so he came over and we went around 5. I hadn't really had someone close to me pass away. I went to Lansing for the next 3 days. I love the power of family and my family. I know he is so much happier now, in heaven and not in pain anymore, but my grandma is now living in the past. I love her to death and I hope she is ok today. She was married to him for like 60 years! I would hope someday I could say that. I don't know why I just felt like I needed to write about this. Anyways, love you Grandpa.

I am ok, I just had a moment of oh this was the day. Didn't mean to bring anyone down but I wanted to write about it.
I went to my parents last night for mother's day because I had to work on Sunday. It was me, my mom, Danielle and Darren. We had steak and chicken, green beans, salad, baked pot. It was all delicious. I gave my mom a flowering hanging basket, that is usually what I get her for the day. That day was hard for Darren and my friend, Stace and my mom is awesome so I didn't want to miss celebrating with her. We got home and I watched the rest of ANTM, which I was happy with because I liked Danielle, then American Idol, which I was kind of bummed because I liked Yammin, I tried to vote for him on Tuesday. Then Top Chef where I was annoyed because I like Dave. He was such a freak out. I had ice cream, bad! It was so good. I have exercised every day this week but I haven't seen any weight come off, probably because I'm still eating. I haven't had fast food so that is good.....my friend here is very motivated now so that makes me motivated. Every spare minute she has she's like 'you want to go for a short walk?' sure anything to help me feel better. Tonight I might go to the movies, I have free passes. But I really like to just hang out at home when I don't have to work at Panera.

Scattered things

I only have 10 more minutes before I leave. Grey's Anatomy was so good. I had to tape it each night because I was working, so I've been staying up until 1am to watch them. I was crying last night as Jackie was after she saw it. I was like oh great now I know I'm going to cry. Why did he have to go? Drama? It could have been happy!
I have walked the past 2 days for a little over 2 miles a day and walked up stairs for 5-10 minutes which surprisingly burns like 60 calories in 5 minutes. I was about to die though! I was sweating. I'm glad I do it towards the end of the day at work. Should I go to the gym today? Yes I should at least get 20 more minutes in for 60 minutes of cardio and some weights. I still have to eat right so all the people that are like 'hmm I need to get motivated', I'm still eating subs and fast food.... My goal this week is to not eat fast food!
I talked to Anna, she said Cancun was 100 degrees and she hated the weather, she would walk out of the room and her sunglasses would fog up. Otherwise I think she had a good time. Not as fun as Aruba I don't think.
Drama at work, the big B thinks that they are the big bomb and needs to keep telling everyone of that fact. It is pissing off the other leaders and causing tension among. Someone who works from home 100% of the time sent a note that said that the morale of the office has just gone up so much since they came as the leader. Ya right! Come in every day and your morale would not be up!
Can it stop frickin raining? We are going to be living in a forest if we don't get to cut the lawn pretty soon. It is driving me nuts! Plus I have to walk to my car now that we don't have a shuttle, I have no idea where any umbrellas are. I guess I haven't looked either. Hmmm.

Ok I gotta run so I'll write more tomorrow if I can.

This week I have been so good with the exercising. Just not the eating. I've exercised every day! I walk at work now if I can't go to the gym, we walk maybe a little over 2 miles. We walk down by the river where they made it all nice. Then you walk towards Cobo and the homeless people are hanging out. I have the gym membership but guests are $7.50, how retarded is that? I pay $39 a month and I can't bring a guest! Arg. (this was for Jessica)
Yesterday I walked here and I went to the gym. I was really tired last night. I couldn't even make it to 11pm, I was falling asleep during American Idol, but I woke up in time for Chris to be voted off. I thought he had a good voice.
I also read the story about the nun. Can you imagine getting away with murder for 26 years? You must think oh ya I will never get caught now. Not with all the gadgets they have now.... I seemed to have missed that it was in Toledo!
I think tonight I am going to watch episodes of Alias. Yip

Profile editing

Ok I guess I am back. Tired and trying to make sense of everything. I have started going to the gym. And when I work at Panera me and my co-worker go walking at the river for about 2 miles. So that is something. I do feel better after I go, even though I REALLY have to make myself. Nothing exciting has happened the past 2 weeks that I would want to share at least....
I found some good profiles on a dating/friends website that I thought were funny.

'I am lookin for a person that have goals, smart, sexy, honest, funny, socialable, someone I can take in public (not no hoodrats).' DatBoiNice I would hope you would want to date people that you could take in to public. What is the definition for hoodrat?

'My mom says I'm "breezy" and "mellow" and I'll make you laugh (not a gurantee).' HairyBagel This guy was real attractive (sarcasm). But it's 'not a gurantee' that he'll make you laugh. Awesome

'Because communication and understanding is the key to every relationship. I'm also cool with just having fun too.' Mandizzle Communication and understanding are not 'fun' apparently

'I thought Id give this a try. I'm a pretty boring guy, once you get passed the tats ' Poketprotektor Way to talk yourself up. He's boring

'Say you're a nice guy, and you're flat out doomed, because no one dates nice guys. And besides, you're unique and rebelious, just like everyone else; 2000 characters can't sum you up. ' AIMelfscine This guy looked a little like Screech

'I am dark skinned and have all of my teeth...and they are clean also...holla back ' I'm glad we got the dental hygiene question out of the way.

P.S. I had W.C. last night, I couldn't resist, I hadn't had it for a while. It was delicious.
