Can't believe it's almost February. On the 15th, I'll have been in Georgia 7 months - that blows my mind! I'm in the Lowe's breakroom with about 20 minutes 'til my shift starts (@ 10 AM).
Not
much to cover today - last night, Victoria (Charles' best friend from
high school) and her new boyfriend, John, came to the house to hang out
for a few hours. As always, I was pretty quiet - I don't know quite
why, but I've become very shy and self-conscious since coming to Georgia
(I have a February resolution covering this). But anyway...John is a
very nice guy (one of the first "good" boyfriends Victoria's had a in
long time), about Charles' age with a similar background. I'm very
happy for Victoria.
Earlier in the day, Charles' mom
(Sharon) repainted the downstairs family room and put up the palm tree
border Charles found at Lowe's. Charles worked on the entertainment
center/bookcase (currently my books are blocked by the snake's cage)
while I organized/cleaned the bedroom. (I would have helped Sharon
paint, but there was no room for two people.)

...Gotta start somewhere...in the middle...
Once again...here I am at the LUMBER registers in Lowe's. Working
another 5-10:30 shift - it's 19:52 on 1/28 today (yesterday was a day
off). I'm only here for 15-20 minutes, though. Giving SUSAN a break.
Absolutely nothing has happened since I last wrote. I finally go the "heap" of laundry done, I renewed "The Sims" for the third time, pigged out, wrote emails to 3 of 3,000,000 people I owe letters to, found out my coat is 100% leather (the outside, at least), and returned to the "exciting world" of Lowe's. I haven't read through Gilgamesh yet; these damn doors still won't close, and I have not won the lottery.
I did try calling my parents yesterday, but there was no signal, so we had to cut it short (after I'd "lost the connection" 3 or so times. Weather - snow up north - interference, I guess.)
A customer came through my line, asking what aisle the "housewives" were on. "...Since you are a home improvement store." I couldn't think of anything witty to say, so I just stuttered a little bit in confusion - as usual.
Woohoo - when I get back to the front, I get to start cleaning (spraying counters, emptying trash, sweeping). Not too bad, really...but I am a lazy bum, remember.
I think I'll get in the hottub tonight or tomorrow morning - I'm sore (wrists, ankles, neck, back). Suure it's 27ยบ F or lower, but it feels so good in that thing.
Spurt of randomness: I love Gold Retreivers, but Charles despises them because they're "stupid" and "too common." (I could prove otherwise, but not now.) Charles wanted a Great Dane, which I agreed to...until I realized how huge they were! Maybe a Boston Terrier. But who knows/cares - we expect to have Priscilla and Chanel (Pekinese) for a while now.
You know, I have a lot of pictures I'd like to put onto my website (start a photo album), but the scanner/computer upstairs isn't/aren't working. Stupid virus.
I need to start a food journal because I need to lose weight and looking at all the junk I eat might turn me away from my "food addiction."
