Easter

Well I finally made it home for Easter and it was a unique experience. I went to church with my family on Sunday morning, the service was even duller than I remember that church being. Then we all head over to my Grandma's house for lunch. Now lunch wasn't until twelve-thirty so it was kind of odd when my brother stumbled in at one. When I say stumble I mean stumble seeing as how he was extremely hung over. We started to eat and while everyone was eating enough to feed a small nation my brother ate about two bites of mashed potatoes. Being ever the loving brother I make fun of him and talk really loud around him the entire afternoon.

Right after lunch we all sat in the living room and talked and it got to be even more fun. My brother started taking about the bar he has been frequenting. I seems he has been getting into bull riding. Not a mechanical bull, but a real bull. As he began to tell me how a bull throw him into a pole at this point I just began yelling, "Are you stupid?" You have to understand that I am very uncoordinated and as bad as I am my brother is worse, so hearing that he is trying to ride bulls is the dumbest thing I have heard in years. So any time my brother would talk about riding a bull I just said "You're stupid".

So I thought that I was doing good when I was finally driving back to my apartment. Even though everyone was cut me off and slamming on their breaks I still was getting doing well. I even had time to call Winter about her first day as a manager, but then when I finally parked my car I realized how big a mistake I made. I forgot my bag of bathroom stuff. I call my mom and assure her that I don't need her to run it the hour and a half up to me. Not until I when to the store to replace everything did I realize I had no glasses. Damn now I have to wear my old glasses from like four years ago. I miss my nerdy glasses already.

The Annoying Girl with Scissors

Today I made the decision to get my hair cut. It had been about eight weeks since I got it cut, which for me is about four weeks too long. So I walk in to the place I usually go and they take me back right away. The girl started talking as soon as she had me sit down. Normally this is pleasant small talk, this time however this girl would not shut up. She started innocently enough by saying something about her messed up family. Trying to be nice (unusual I know) I told a little bit about how messed up my family is. Big mistake, she then told me EVERYTHING about her family. I know her brother is in jail and seeing this insane woman who stole her car.................and on and on for fifteen minutes until I wanted to die. I think I need to take Winter's advice and she the woman who cuts her hair.

In work news our Co Manager got promoted to the General Manager of another store. He was so happy because they nearly had to beg him to take it. This means that I will stuck at the same store, but in hopefully just a few weeks I will be promoted to Co Manager. This means I'll be second in charge of the store which is a little weird. I've never officially been in that position before so we'll have to see how that works out.
