it has been a long time comin...

i don't know why it has been so long since my last post but it has. i think it may have something to do with the crazy business of these past few weeks. between school, work, and studying for the cset, there really isn't time for anything else...well a bit here and there i suppose:) anywho, like i said, these past few weeks have been nice and busy. I try looking back and i have a really hard time remembering the events...it is all a big blur. the few things i do remember are just simple things. for example yesterday, this sweet old man came in. i think i have written about him before. he always gets a cinnamon roll and coffee...well, sometimes v8 juice because the coffee gives him heart problems. he can't hear very well so i have to speak extra loud when i talk to him and especially when he is walking out because by that time he is all the way by the door:) i really enjoy his personality. he is so polite and soft spoken and has this funny little chuckle after he makes a joke...his jokes are actually funny. i think all of us really enjoy him. he made my day yesterday...he does everyday.
there is also this little present i received last wednesday. it was a birthday present and it came a little late but i did not mind one bit mostly...i didn't even see it coming:) my coworkers brian and austin told me they were putting something together for me for my birthday and i was so curious to see what it was. well, last wednesday was my lucky day! for my birthday they gave me:
a coffee carrier filled with goodies. there was a breakfast at tiffany's record, a jar filled with buttons, a vase filled with foreign coins, a perrier with flowers in it, little audrie hepburn buttons, and a sweet poem written by both fellows. the record is lovely. when it plays it makes little crackling noises and that is my favorite thing about it:)
this past sunday kim, richard, zack, and i say the movie the proposal and if you have not seen it yet, you should. i know it is a super girly film but who cares? i laughed quite a bit and really enjoyed it and i think you are an interesting person if you can't find one thing to like about it.
aura is coming home today! after two months of here being out and about in the world i really think it is about time:) i will try to be better about posting.

ps...i have been keeping up with the world events. anyone else out there wowed by the things happening these days?
