Black Friday

So, I work at Old Navy. Black Friday is a NIGHTMARE for people like me who work in retail. Last year I was one of the lucky workers who opened at 4am and I saw exactly how crazy people are. I saw mothers screaming at their children to wait in line and others fighting over an item. Geez, why does this day give people a reason to act this way? Anyways, this year my shift was 11:30 to 7, which I was thought would be fantastic. I thought the crowds would be gone by the time I came in, but no...it was out of control(and we didn't even have good deals this year!). It was so busy I stayed until 1 in the morning only to come back in at 9 the next morning. I ended up working over 20 hours the past 2 days and I am so worn out. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who rubbed my aching feet and brought me food when I was starving. Even though my Thanksgiving holiday wasn't ideal, I have so much to be grateful for. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

So, last night..sometime in the middle of it...I woke up to hear gushing water. I was terrified! I woke Andy up and made him go check it out (which he was thrilled to do by the way ha). It turns out the water softener in a nearby room was freaking out. Luckily in the room where the water softener is, there is also a drain. Apparently, this a natural reaction for old water softeners, but it was new to me. I spent the next probably 1/2 hour(which seemed like forever) freaking out, thinking the house was going to fall apart. On top of that, we've had some leakage problems in the room we sleep in. Sometimes water will seep in from our light fixture. Crazy, right? So, while I was thinking the house was going to fall apart, I also had illusions of the light leaking water, which I also woke Andy up to tell him about. Finally, I was able to fall asleep and now I can laugh about it.

Ok. So remember how I'm not computer savvy? Well...I cannot upload pics on here. How do you do that? Any help would be appreciated.

I did it! I set up a blog! It's kinda funny that so many people have blogs these days. It will take me a bit to figure this out...I'm not very good with technology. For example, I have an ipod, but do I use it? No. Ha. Anyways, this is "the start of something new" and I'm excited to see how it goes!
