Poll

I thought I would start a poll and ask my friends and family for their input of where Brian and I should go on our month long vacation. I'm not anxious but if I plan this far in advance we can save some money on some opitions, it's only 10 months away ;). Please give you honest opinion, and just remeber if you like us to come see you, we understand and we will make stops on the way. :)

A day in the life...

So yesterday morning I wake with a call from work (downstairs) about 7:00 AM, the sink isn't disposing... Brian gets dressed and runs down to the kitchen I hop in the shower and get dressed, I have a busy morning... I have a sysco order and an interview at 10:00 for a cook. Let me add I have been up every hour checking Rocco to make sure he isn't licking his man hood, (or what used to be his man hood), he was fixed on Tuesday. So I have probably had a good 4 hours of sleep. I get out of the shower and go downstairs, not without getting dressed first of course. And learn that both of my cooks showed up for the morning shift and the one who drove from town isn't happy. The night cook informs us she isn't feeling well and is going back to the doctor to get more meds for her chest cold. She then calls and informs me she won't be able to come back and probably won't be able to come tomorrow. I try to get my new cook in here to cook for her but he also isn't feeling well, so guess who gets to cook? Yup your right, me... I'm the cook and waitress. Well in between this I have an interview with a guy who is looking for a cook position, he's from everywhere... He has actually cooked in Alamosa, Co., I know thats what I thought (small world), it was in 1985-1988 I didn't tell him I was only 2 then. He seems like he's a fit and I send him on his way. I then handle the sysco order and go upstairs to take my manless puppy for a walk. He his anxious to get outside. We go for a walk and I come back to get ready for the night ahead. Of course it is slow but we get the normal local crowd. Oh did I mention there has be a wolf sighting about a 1and1/2 miles up the road from us. He was black and they took pictures... we will get that subject later its quiet the issue around here. So I now have to walk my dogs instead of let them roam. So here I am the cook and waitress, of course I have Brian to help out but he has his own projects. I have a couple of tables and handle them like a pro. Its about closing time and I'm handling both duties... the waitress and cooks responisbility and of course I get two tables luckily for me one table just wants pie and the other is 3 fish and chips. I get those out and get them on their way. Well I just finished cleaning and I'm done for the night. I was thinking of sleeping in tomorrow but I have a husband who is anxious to go riding in the morning... When do I sleep everyone is asking and I'm telling you I don't know, between worring about all the issues I need to handle and a dog who has lost his balls and doesn't know where they went, I'm a walking zombie. Oh by the way I passed my food handlers permit without even studying!!! It goes to show you all you need is common sense.


I'm not complaining... I actually love my life when I lay in my bed I wonder how I'm so lucky to be living this life. I have posted some pics or our recent trip to the hill to snowboard, enjoy!!!

Sight from the road.

Top 10 reasons to live above your work...

10. If you are needed you don't get a phone call they just pound on the ceiling with a broom
9. You know if your employees like you or not, (you can hear them through the floor)
8. If you really have to take a dougie you can run up stairs and take it on your own toliet, (because you know I hate to go in public restrooms)
7. If you have had a long day you can go upstairs to change into sweats
6. If you forgot something for dinner you live above a store you just have to run down and get it
5. If you forget to put deordant on in the morning it's not a tragedy
4. If people ask you were you live all you have to do is point up
3. You save tons of money and gas for your car
2. If you forgot to do something at work all you have to do is run down in your pj's and do it
And the number reason for living above your work
1. You don't have to worry about traffic, the commute is quite short... Only 17 steps away

Happy Valentines Day!!

Today's Quote

I have noticed a couple of things since we moved here. One we don't get out much, I haven't driven in over a month!!! And two Brian has become much more spirtutal... For example while driving home from a morning of powder skiing we were driving along looking at the elk and my husband says something out of the blue, and I quote "We are living the dream, the bum life, not paying for shit, living where we live, doing what we do." Followed by an "I Love You", I laughed so hard that I couldn't breath, then I asked him WTF? And yes that is him being spritual... My thought after his little insight... I will start to worry when the only time he tells me he loves me is after a day of powder riding.

We are doing well and are preparing for the up coming Steelhead fishing season, if you are able to come up and see us we would be glad to have you. Talk to you all soon!
