Crazy, Crazy Saturday

Woke up to find that my e-mail was hacked into.

But we were running late for our first day of work, so I could do nothing except send an e-mail of apology to all my contacts for the vulgar e-mail that they received.

Spent 7 hours learning the ins and outs of Ritas...well some of the ins and outs. Ice making, and all the different techniques to making Rita's concoctions. 

My mind is pooped.spent.done for. Now we are reminded that we lost an hour to just relax before it's church tomorrow, my nieces are coming, lunch with a granddad, and then back to Rita's for Sunday night. goodnight all.

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. The best day ever was probably when I became a mrs. Orr, when we officially left for our honeymoon. We even talked about it in the car. 'just the 2 of us' left, 'just the 2 of us' relaxed on the beach, and 'just the 2 of us' came home. Anytime before that our trips always had family involved. That one was literally "just the 2 of us".
   
2. My favorite meal of the day is dessert?  breakfast because even though I don't eat it a too frequent it has such a unique variety of food. Pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, omelets. In reality I love dessert or snacks--Ice cream & chocolate mainly. But I know thats not really a meal.
   
3. This weekend marks a new adventure for the hubs and I. Tomorrow we get trained as Rita's managers and start working because it's opening day. Sunday we are having lunch with my granddad-in-law and then working again :)
   
4. Never in my life have I done a lot of things. Been drunk, smoked, gone ski diving, run a marathon or any race for that matter, broken a bone, been farther west than Ohio, gone to New York City, been pregnant...the list could go on and on.
   
5. The only thing better than chocolate chip cookies is chocolate chewy brownies & vanilla bean ice cream.
   
6. I could really do with some vanilla bean ice cream with caramel syrup and whip cream right about now. I'm obviously hungry. Although a nice gelati or italian ice seems like it could be might tasty. [I may just have to have a lot of taste-testing tomorrow]
   
7. The most recent thing I bought for myself was well, a toothbrush head that didn't fit my toothbrush and shampoo, but those are everyday items, so I'm going to stick with my sewing machine!

Happy Friday!

 

Bleh

and that's how I've felt for almost a week now. But I think things are starting to take a turn for the better. Last night the hubs and I went to our first night of "work" at Rita's. AKA-staff meeting [meeting employees & stocking the shelves]. Opening day is Saturday so Greg and I are going to get on the spot training-literally. But it should be good. At this point, it doesn't look like I'm going to be subbing too much in the coming weeks. Seeing as how I haven't been getting many days, we are opting to have me work at Rita's until I notice that subbing is picking up for the spring.

I did however finish my second sewing project--a skirt! I love it and I can't wait for it to be a little warmer to wear it. I'm not the kind of girl who can "brave the cold" for a skirt. Absolutely not [unless it's meet the teacher night or an open house @ school]. It's gotta be warm for my leggies to be free of pants. Maybe I'll finally get around to posting a picture of it tomorrow.

Other semi-exciting news was that I was asked to photograph a wedding. I've taken pictures at weddings before, but never been the main or only photographer. I'm super excited for the opportunity. I'm trying to talk Greg into maybe coming with me as support with another camera as a back-up, but it's not going so well. I have yet to actually meet with the couple, so we'll see what happens!

Today, I got my gift-wrapping groove on. I went to a bridal shower years ago and there was this really cute poem that the matron of honor used for the bride [her sister-in-law]. It was a little story/poem with words left out. Each blank required a guess of a household item or registry gift that fits into the sentence. For example, "Marriage is a journey. Some days will be pure ______"

[the answer here is Joy--as in Joy dish soap]

Anyway, my mom and I went to my cousin's fiancee's bridal shower last year and did it for her and it was lots of fun. SOOoooo, we decided to do it for another cousin's fiancee's bridal shower that is this weekend. I can't go since I'll be working-so I wrapped and labelled all of the gifts-since they have to be opened in order for the poem to make sense. Here's the basket of goodies all wrapped & tagged [it looks MUCH cuter in person]

Spring is near

I was so excited today. Seriously excited because I it was a beautiful day. It isn't yet the kind of beautiful day I can take a picture of and see the beauty, because this beauty has to be felt. I was able to open the windows, go grocery shopping in short sleeves and flip flops, and feel the breeze through the car windows. The only way to truly represent this was to take this picture [in the shade]
