A Pillowcase full of warms!

As per my usual the last few months, I  had my Friday and Saturday off once again. These days are normally when I do laundry, dishes, the weeks that I get paid we go grocery shopping. This week was no different... and as always I had my partner in crime right with me for every step. And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. As of March 11, 2011 I can officially call Chris my "boyfriend." And yet when I say that, it seems so childish at times. I have yet to figure why I feel this way about the term, however I do have an idea. Chris is my best friend, and that man that I honestly believe that God has had for me all this time, my soul mate. So to call him my "boyfriend" just seems as if its an understatement... a misnomer. But nonetheless I am happy that the world now knows that we are together. He always goes shopping with me without complaint. He walks with me, pushes the cart, follows me up and down the aisles, helps carry the bags, and shows me love the entire time. He's always reaching for my hand, or kissing my cheek, hugging on me... I can't remember a time grocery shopping that I was ever so relaxed and actually enjoying myself. He laughs at me because he thinks its cute when I ogle kitchen appliances and cooking gadgets.  So when we get back to the apartment and before we get out of the car, he smiles and tells me that he's thankful to be reminded of how blessed he is to have me in his life. And my heart melts all over again. How I love that man.

So that was yesterday. Today it was laundry day. Mind you the apartment complex we live in has about 150 people, possibly 200 with all the kids and such. A few of the units have washers and dryers in them, however most do not. Our laundry facility has 3 of each. Just 3 washers and 3 dryers. So its oh so much fun to do laundry on a Saturday. Three hours later its all finished, yet come to find out, it isn't all completely dry. Oh goody, because of course there is a TON of room in the apartment to hang things. Ha. But still, I am blessed to have a man that can always make me laugh no matter the situation. As we're taking the laundry out of the one dryer that was open for us to use, I decided to put it all into a pillow case. I hand it to him to hold on to and he hugs it, smiles big, and says "Sarah! I found the warms!! A whole pillow case full of them!!" and I can't help but to smile. Our room is typically chilly so we joke about keeping "the warms" under the covers so they don't escape. Even now, thinking back I can't help but smile at it. Hehe.

Customer service pet peeves...

There are a few things that drive me crazy working customer service. Here is a short list.

Leaning over the counter to see exactly what I am doing.

Feeling the need to show me on the reciept as I am trying to do what I am doing. I really can find it myself...

Standing 3 inches from the person in front of you when you don't know them. I could almost guarantee they don't like your breath on their neck.

When I ask is there anything wrong with the item, I don't require your life story, family history, or intimate details. Nor do I need you to take it out of the package and give me a tour of every stitch ans seam.

Please don't stand there and mumble about how pissed you are or how ridiculous a policy is. Truth be told, I don't care and it isn't worth my job to change the rules based on your opinion.

And when you are using a pen...please hand it back the way it was given. Do not feel the need to replace the cap or retract it.

Thank you.

Cravings

For weeks I have been craving really good pizza... something very well done. And finally, finally! We got a pizza from Ye Olde Pizza Shoppe here in Newberg, and turns out, it was completely worth the $23.50 we paid for it. And to top it off, they had these amazing peanut butter cookies with icing... mmmm.
