Jasper leaves little time for much but work and sleep, so even when I start to write something, I may not have a chance to finish it - or post it! Which is why I found this little draft saved from October 15th (Wow...) So we'll get this up, before another update :)
October 15th::
Whew!! Well, the craziness has subsided for a little while (yay!!) Which means I'll actually get some time off (Three whole days this week - what an awesome b-day gift!)
So, maybe I'll finally have time to see the sights before it get really cold and i have to break out the super-cute pink winter jacket!!
Wednesday, I FINALLY made it into Hinton. NBD - I mean, its just another small town about 45 minutes away but they have REAL stores and franchises. I mean... Boston Pizza, McDonalds, Walmart.... Seriously, real recognizable places! It is kind of awesome, and, even though I didn't find shoes (Darn...) I did manage to get some shopping in, to stay the addiction for a little while : )
Thursday was spent nice and quiet, letting my poor liver recover from last night. As the start of my 'weekend' and the first day of my 'birthday week' a bunch of us went out to Champs - a local bar - for wings and drinks before heading on to Horseshoe. It was a lot of fun with a lot of cool people, and more kinds of shots than I'm really sure what to do with... but we had a great time.
Although, you definetly remember to watch yourself when one of your managers is at the same bar... lol
Which takes me to my next story, and the department thanksgiving party last week.
SO MUCH FUN. The managers ran the event so we could all just relax and have a good time (yay!) And provided all the food and free drinks... which is a good idea, sometimes!
The night was fun - we spent a good four hours just relaxing and mingling and then dancing when one of the guys hooked his iPod up to the Bose system in the room, but it was the after party that really was memorable.
At 12:30 or so, after insisting I help my manager with the clean-up and tear down, we brought all the left-over beer (Probably 36 cans) to one of the Supervisors houses, where everyone ended up staying untill 4:30 when the poker game was done... And then showed up all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for work the next morning.
I spent my birthday pampering myself with an awesome pedicure. Seriously, I'd almost forgotten how nice it is to just sit back, relax and let someone ELSE do the work for a little while, while I de-stress!! Spent the night in with a good book, and just had a quiet evening all to myself.
We're going out again tomorrow... so it should be lots of fun.
Until next time!
xoxo
