LOVING MY SUNFLOWERS
People are starting to figure me out, even if they may not 'consciously' realize it sometimes. Those of you who are brave enough (or silly enough) to read this blog have probably figured out that I have a penchant for sunflowers. They are the "spiritual" flower, yes..... but there's something more to it than that for me. When I see one, or even a picture of one, I always do a double take and look again. There's other things other than the spiritual aspect of the sunflower that appeal to me. They MOVE me. They remind me of sunny dispositions, sunny days, warmth, happiness, and smiles. Oh, and quiet strength. Anyway, today at work a young lady decided to draw me a couple of pictures while she was relieving me for my lunch break. She has no idea of my love for sunflowers, but this is what she drew.
Too funny! Anyway thank you Ashley, when I walked in and saw these, it put a smile on my face!
So what else is new........ well I'm so happy that this was the last day of my work week! I'm so exhausted, as usual. Yesterday I put in an 11 1/2 hr. day (got home at 9 p.m.) and that was after only getting 1 1/2 hrs. sleep the night before. It seems like I don't get any decent sleeps anymore unless I am sleeping alone, which is a shame. This only happens when I have those rejuvinating "catch up" naps during my days off, or during the early hours of the a.m. when hubby gets up at 4:30 a.m. to go to work. Thank God for 4 days off in a row, I don't know what I'd do otherwise...... It was a good week, and today was great, all went well. Until, that is, the very end of the afternoon. This is of course a long weekend, being Easter, and it's also the beginning of Spring Break. We at AMA all know what that means ~~ we sell whack-loads of ski passes and theatre tickets! So about an hour before we close, right at the time I have to start my end-of-the-day accounting, suddenly my cash window has agents at it for tickets after tickets after tickets!! I'm not kidding when I say that there wasn't even 10 seconds between each of them. So needless to say I couldn't begin my other stuff. Eventually, with less than a half hour to go, I put out the request "Someone find Vicky for me and tell her I need help!" Vicky is not only my friend, but she is the one around there who knows how to do everything, lol. So she came in and rescued me, and helped me to get it all finished so my ride wouldn't be waiting for a half hour outside for me. Of course, the minute she got in the cashroom, everyone stopped coming to my window. ARGH.
Thanks for your help "Vickytoria" dahling! You rock with a capital "R"!
Oh yes, and today is Debs' birthday! Happy Birthday Debs!!
I hope you had a good day today!
Well we got SNOW. And lots of it!! Sister Pammie describes this type of snow perfectly.......it's the consistency of "shortbread cookie dough". Hard as hell to walk in too, I'll tell ya. It's like walking on mounds of loose marbles. Anyway it hadn't stopped snowing for days, and then today it did. The sun came out and made the snow look so gorgeous, like gazillions of little diamonds blinking. So pretty. The Alberta Blue skies are back! Won't take long to melt the shit now, lol.
