well its still been very busy for me with work and trying to keep the financial ends tied at home while trying to make christmas happen on the home front. we all know what that is like, more money going out that is coming in. we are almost done with shopping and all the gifts, just a couple more small ones to get. why is it that even though you have a plan to get done it never happens. maybe next year will be easier, not. but that's life, not some fairy tale.

where have i been

sorry i haven't been around, it is a very busy time of year for me. work is busy with holiday traffic and home is busy getting ready for xmas. xmas is a little tough this year as money is tight with bills. we all know how that goes but that's life, not some fairy tale. don't worry i'll get over it, just have to find a way to rob peter without paying paul i guess... lol. i hope everyone is having a great xmas season and will have a great new years. update you all soon.

hey all, had today off as an xtra day this week due to the holiday last week. was a great day, my wife also took the day off and we spent it together while our son was in school. we went to see to a movie, blind spot, it was a great movie. we both love sandra bullock and tim mcgraw, they were great together. well she is at the dentist now getting some work done, lucky her lol. off tomorrow too will go to my parents house to work on my van, needs an oil change, much cheaper to do it yourself. well the holidays are definately here, and the money is short as always, trying to rob peter without paying paul is a hard thing to do so we can buy presents for the family. working hard to juggle things to make it happen. well, that's life, not some fairy tale. will let you know how we make out later....

hi all,
well we made it thru the busy thanksgiving holiday rush at work. it is tradtionally the busiest week of the year for us. with wednesday and sunday being two of the busiest days of the year. they are traditionally the busiest traffic days of the year. this year was down a bit to previous ones. i think the economy played a large role in sales being down. we were staffed and ready for anything and all ran very well, we got everyone in and out very fast so they could all get to their families to enjoy their turkey. hope you all had a great holiday as well if not i'm sorry, but that's life not some fairy tale

a busy time ahead

well, it's that time of year again. the holidays are upon us. this is a tough time of year for our family because my wife lost her father almost 2 years ago. he passed away in janurary of '08 and is dearly missed by his loved ones and everyone to whom he called friend.

this is also a busy time coming up next week for me. thanksgiving week is just about the busiest week of the year at work for me. we should do almost 50k in sales next week with wednesday and sunday being the 2 busiest days of the week. hopefully all runs well and we take care of our customers very well.

that's life, not some fairy tale

busy day off

well, it's wednesday and my day off is all over for this one. not much of a day off though. i spent it helping family with some of their projects, which is fine with me, it's never a problem when you are helping family. first i helped my father clean his rain gutters out then went to my mother in law's house and helped her rake all the leaves in the yard. at home we went grociery shopping and got all the food we needed to fill the empty cabinets and refrigerator. the best part of the day was that my wife did not have to work today so we got to sleep in late, we did not get up until about 8:30am, which for us is late since we have a 3 year old who is usually up by 7 to 7:30am. well i have to go now, my son is done having his bedtime snack, a yougart, and it's time to read him a book and get him off to bed. that's life, not some fairtale.

sunday in the park

hey all, just another sunday of work for me. i did a lot of work yesterday around the house. i installed 2 new mirror closet doors, one in the front hallway and one in our bedroom. the only pain in the butt part was having to trim the runners down to size. i also put up some plastic around some windows to prevent drafting in the bedrooms, only one did not stay up, i guess the tension from the shrinking got to it so i will have to re-do it today. but for now i am off to work to take care of the hungry public. hopefully i will get home in time to see the end of the patriots game. i do have 2 tickets with tailgate passed for the jet's game in a couple weeks so that will be great. that's life not some fairy tale
