The internet is very quiet tonight.

This is good, that means I can actually get to bed on time, and will probably spend some time doing something vaguely productive before that.

No real news, been working all weekend and will continue to do so - Tues and Thurs off this coming week, the grandparents are probably dropping by one of those days. I'm getting a better handle on things at work, I'm actually able to find things (even boxes in the back rooms!) on my own sometimes, and only make maybe two or three (usually small, easily/quickly repairable) mistakes a day, though I still have to ask lots of questions. Getting to know my co-workers a lil better... Everyone's still very nice, though I'm starting to see who I might get annoyed with in time and why, and oddly enough I've a hunch I'm going to like being around the adults more than the high school kids (there's a couple starting college I think, one a year older than me, otherwise it's like, 16 and 40+ years old). But there are a few I think I'm going to get along really well with, I'm starting to be able to joke around with a couple of the guys and things so that's good.

I still suck at tying balloons, which's a bit of a problem. ^^;

Tom has been an absolute angel. :) Today was my first eight-hour day, and even last night, he'd volunteered to make dinner tonight. I called him on my lunch break, and told him I was going to be even more pooped than I'd thought, I was not-quite halfway through the day and getting pretty beat already. And! The air conditioning in the front of the store broke today, and can't be fixed 'til Monday. X_X But then Tom said he'd have a nice soothing bath all drawn for me when I got home, and would be waiting at the door with a coooold glass of water, and a Mike's Hard Lemonade (I picked some up on the way home yesterday, as a treat for My First Payday). And oh, that so got me through the day! I came home and-- well, we had some bathwater issues, the pipes randomly spat out some rust-water again, and--- But oh, it was worth a bit of a wait. Tom wet down a washcloth with coooold water and rested it against the back of my neck and things while the tub sorted itself out, and then when I finally did get in (nice warm soothing water).. ohhhh it was like all the achiness and tiredness of my feet and legs flowed out into the water. Oh it was heaven. *giggles* (I need bath-stuff though, I squirted in some of my bodywash and it made happy bubbles and things, but it's not quite the same.)
And then he made a fantastic dinner. ^_______^ He mixed together a few ideas off the Ramen site, and it was REALLY really good. (The Meaty Ramen, which I'd been considering myself, put overtop of Easy Peanut Sauce Ramen, but with much less of the peanut sauce, and more hot sauce added everywhere. It was FANTASTIC.)

...is it thundering out there AGAIN? goodness. ^^; It was poooouuuring most of Thursday, and then Friday morning it threatened me with rain going to work... Fortunately I lucked out, and only got misted at, whihc my raincoat easily took care of.

My shirt came from Threadless! a few days ago, and it is SOGREAT, it fits perfectly and is comfy and actually compliments my current hair color really well. ---I put Sun-in in my hair for.. eh, maybe a week or so, a little more. A couple days, I sat outside an hour or two, but mostly it was just the time spent riding to and from work, and then my half-hour lunch breaks. But my hair's much lighter, it's turning more red than anything, and I really kinda like it. :) On the top, it's actually about the color of the little bunch of baby-hair that usually hides under my bangs. And it's so soooft and SHINY! oh so shiny. I might have to keep this stuff around more.

Been spending a fair bit of time poking around Facebook - I believe I added a link to my profile there over on the left column here (though you can't see much until you're friended or on a network or whatever, that's 'cos I have contact info there). If I haven't found you yet, friend me plzkthx. ;) It's pretty great though, I haven't talked to people from high school like since graduation.. Heather S. is in computer graphics like me! Eric V. said hi to me (hadn't talked with him much since like 10th grade)! Kevin's in another summer play (which I'd love to go to but probably can't)! DONNA GOT MARRIED HI. *giggles* Kevin and I were talking the other day about how like half the people we know are getting married.. it's a lil crazy. Not bad though, I'm so happy for everyone. :) Tom thinks I'm just continually dropping hints though, whenever I mention someone I know getting married... which, I'm not reeeaalllyyy. *giggles*
No, but I'm not. That's another thing working at Paper Factory's done - made me see quite clearly just how many random little pricy things go in to weddings. O_o;; It's a lil nuts. Granted I'm probably not going to get personalised napkins, but, still.

...and I'm really babbling. *giggles* Filling up the silences I guess. But I think I'll go, it--- OOOOOO!!! LIGHTENING!!! *bounces over to a window* <333
