Because I missed you. Seriously.
So many things have happened in the last 6 weeks that I thought, "Gosh I need to blog soon/about this."
And well... that clearly never happened.
We spent September traveling around. Nashville TN, Bardstown KY, and San Francisco CA.
I liked Nashville, I loved the Kentucky countryside.
I may or may not have given $100's to terrorists or human traffickers in exchange for counterfit goods in chinatown. Let's just say that a secret wall was involved and I carry a Tory Burch bag now...
... and Chris looks fabulous in his Burberry scarf. (So fabulous that a social worker told him he clearly makes too much money. To which he replied " Uhh.. my wife got these glasses with a coupon, the coat was on clearance at The Rack, and the scarves a fake.")
I snuck in job interviews between trips and I got a job! Due to my companies social media policy and the fact that I don't want them to know about my blog, I'm not telling you where. But know that I am fulfilling my goal of being a baker. And Chris got his wish and I am working at a grocery store, full time and with benefits. Double coverage starts on January 1st :)
And since I knew there is no chance I will have time off over the holidays ( insert sad face here), I flew home last minute to visit with my family...
... and promptly got in a car accident.
... in my damn rental car.
So October has been spent dealing with the accident and starting a new job. It's a brand new grocery store so we had to open and stock the store from the bottom up. That is a lot of hard work. Especially when you've grown all soft from 2 months of unemployment. But I'm so thankful that I got this job. Not just because it means I'm working again. But because it is a really physical job. All day long I am lifting heavy boxes, giant bread racks and pallets. It's awesome.
I have arm muscles now.
Fledgling muscles really, but I've been making Chris poke them pretty regularly and he agrees that they are growing.
Hey! You know what else I have...
Keys!
Today I started training to be the assistant to the bakery manager. Sounds silly I know, but I guess the company eliminated "assistant manager" positions a while ago. So basically I am training to be the manager when she isn't actually there and when she is promoted I will be first in line to become the bakery manager. There is no pay bump for this (boo) but there is potential and I plan on working my way up. The picture doesn't show it clearly but that box cutter is painted blue with purple glitter. That is how I catch the person who steals my box cutter! ha ha!
Alright. I'm wiped out. Training starts at 6 am which means I am up at 430am. So frankly, I'm wiped. I'm promise I will blog again sooner. Maybe even about our election day festivities. Which is going to involve a fresh handmade Turducken stuffed with andouille sausage.
That's right...
A turkey,
stuffed with duck,
stuffed with chicken,
stuffed with pork,
Handcrafted by my meat department friends and purchased with my employee 20% discount.
( My apologies to the McKenna's that are totally grossed out right now. But I couldn't resist it.)
