Random Update

Well, since I did promise to start writing in this thing more, don't be surprised to see a lot of disjointed, completely random posts just for the sake of updating. I tried not to do that too much in the past, but at least this will keep the blog a bit more fresh.
Work Life: I did get the Assistant Manager promotion, and was slated to switch stores. Many tears were shed, and then suddenly the Head manager swooped in and came up with a plan. That man is a fucking genius. I am now happily situated right in my store, just sent my BossBoy off to get married, and life seems pretty good. We've hit a few snags in the transition, but hey, they can all be resolved, and things are going, for the most part, smoothly. With the threat of transfer now out of the way, I can concentrate on just getting all the knowledge I need crammed in my head, and the rest of my life can fall into place.
I still cannot express how much I really do love this job. In all my other workplaces, I felt like there was something still not quite fitting, like I was burying something as a sacrafice to get a paycheck. Here, I feel none of that. I feel confident there, comfortable there, like I belong there. I'm surrounded by great people, and doing something I genuinely like. Even the stressful, holy-fuck-how-will-I-get-all-of-this-done moments, I feel absolutely amazing.

Baby Life: Anthony gets bigger every day! His vocabular is growing immensely, and he's moved swiftly onto eating solid foods, which makes this mama very happy. He has an odd obsession with Club crackers, though. *shrugs* We recently bought Guitar Hero for our PS2, and although the controller is bigger than he is, he finds it to be the greatest thing EVAR.
I've missed my time with him during the days, but it does make our days off together all that much more meaningful and precious. And I know he is in great hands, as our babysitter is amazing and wonderful and severely undercharging us.

Social Life: I...kinda have one, actually! I had made a mamafriend on myspace, and she and I got to meet for the first time and go clubbing on Friday. We had a BLAST, and have decided we must now become inseperable weirdos. I think she's already planned a years worth of activities, seriously. She's batshit crazy, which makes her all the better to go out with, as she pretty much forces the old Sharona deep within to come slinking out of hibernation.

Gaming Life: I embrace my geekness, and oh how I'd love to one day here that this is an awesome, sexy, amazing traits rather than a deep seated flaw *sigh*. I'm actually overgamed at the moment. I still dink around on my Animal Crossing game (it's a game...that...never...ends!). But I also have Pikmin for the Gamecube, which is hysterical purely for the throwing of flower headed carrot looking things who squeal with delight as the soar through the air. Then a wonderful friend of mine sent me DragonQuest 8, which I haven't even started yet, though immediately ran out and bought the game guide for when I do have my day off and thus settle into a full on gaming frenzy. And Rick bought Guitar Hero, with the controller, so that has been an interesting bit o' fun to pass around. Oh, and we also re-acquired a copy of BF2 for the PS2. not as pretty as the PC version, but our PC sucks, so I will have to suffice. Campaign o' doom, anyone? I am not going anywhere near the sniper server though, those people scare me.
Too many games, too little time! gah!!!!

Random Life: I wish I could grow a few more inches. Seriously, can't someone invent a late twenties growth spurt?! I did a face plant the other day trying to get something off the top shelf for a customer. I am so stubborn that I rebuffed the casual "Should I get that, maam?" and immediately ploughed into a display because even on my tiptoes I still can't finagle a product off the peg. I wish I could wear my platforms to work, it would make life so much easier!
I redyed my hair so I could look all 'corporate'. It's still a nice deep red, but now there's no root growth showing. I might sneak some streaks in, but I have to be careful.
I won a $50 gift check from work, although I have no clue what warranted it. Ah well, clothes shopping for meeeeeee. I'll post pictures, maybe.
My phone has a decent camera on it, so don't be surprised if this blog gets a bit more littered with random photos from it. I'm a goof!
