Leaving
I left the Department Store. Now I must find another job.
---
We are leaving on our Big Winter Road Trip tomorrow. So glad I married a morning person, because I try to be a morning person. (Several years ago Grandma shared a nugget of wisdom with me that went something like this: 'It only takes a little more energy to be pleasant. Even if you're not a morning person, you can still be pleasant in the mornings.') I really do try to be a morning person and being married to one is great, especially because his cheer makes me cheery and he doesn't rub it in when I'm grouchy/silent/still waking in the mornings.
But anyway...the reason I mentioned I'm glad I'm married to a morning person is because he's taking the first shift tomorrow. He set our departure time at 4am tomorrow. Gulp! That's early, but I'll sleep and then I'll drive starting at around 10, I think, and he'll crash. And we'll make Tiny Kansas Town tomorrow evening.
Yikes! Tomorrow! Eep.

Todolist:
Email/job applications
Pack suitcases
Make pile of car-stuff for him to load into the car
clean up
one more Waltopia run:
-roll of wired ribbon
-pantyhose
-something else
ask him about any *other* gifts to put in the gift hamper ('Sweetie, do you have gifts for me? Can we put them in the hamper now?')

Even though I must go I also just want to mention the awesomeness of my birthday. Here's a quick bulleted list of coolness:
-I wore my birthday tiara to work. All day long customers wanted to know why I was wearing a crown to which I'd respond (with that tone of voice that implies Doesn't everyone know this?) "Because it's my birthday tiara." I was excited by it being my birthday so the undercurrent of sarcasm came off as fun-loving not as insulting...so then everyone wished me a happy birthday. It was great.
-The Dude picked me up at work instead of my taking the bus. This saved time and $1.25. And I was able to chitchat during the commute instead of sitting politely on the bus.
-When I returned from errands (Post office and Waltopia) The Dude had put balloons, streamers, and a birthday banner up, in addition to laying all my birthday gifts out...his own and my parents' (those sneaky sneaks!). What a nice surprise!
-Mom and Dad gave me a nice set of blue and white with snowflakes dishes. They are so cool and I've been wanting them and I was very surprised!
-The Dude gave me [drum roll.......] a new sewing machine! Now I can sew again and finish my projects yay! (Because Heather's wedding is on its way!)
-We were going to go on a date, but by the time we got to the restaurant I was too tired and retailed out to want to spend money on something I really wouldn't enjoy. So the Dude took me back to the Church Cookie Exchange (picture all the ladies in the church sitting around and visiting...that's a man's cue to Run Away!) which I really enjoyed.

Aaaaand now it's off to the List. One thing for sure...I have to wait till later to take my typing test because it's just NOT FLOWING right now. Grr.
