So today I printed out a 2 week notice to hand into Macy's tomorrow. I worked a 4 hour shift tonight and O.M.G. I was bored out of my mind. I also did not walk away with any cash in my pocket like I do at McGrath's so needless to say, I will be concentrating more time over there. It was also getting irritating trying to mesh the two. Plus, when I work at both, I rarely get a day off. Now I can work about 4-5 days a week, pull a double if I'm feeling spry, and make just as much in cash as I would at Macy's.
It snow several inches the other day and had the whole town on the fritz. My roomie had fun making a snow woman on our front lawn and last night a few of us headed over to McGrath's to roll a snow man on the porch. It was a lot of fun! I posted some great pictures on facebook if you wanna check it out.
Other than that I've just been working and sleeping. Possibility of going to Arizona next month with Danielle to visit her family. Just depends on ticket prices and if I can get the time off. Alligient Air runs non-stop flights to several western locations at a pretty decent price so if I can get something for a couple hundred bucks I think it'll be a lot of fun. I also need to keep looking into my ticket back to PC for June but I'm holding out until April 2 when Laura goes for her next dr appt. If the baby is on track than my plan is to fly down on Wed the 27 and back on Wed the 11. I guess we'll see how that goes. Babies are never usually that predictable.
I hope everyone is doing well. :)

Mom's Visit
The only negative thing I could say about her visit was that I wish the weather had been a little more cooperative. She did get to experience the array while she was here. And then it snowed the day after she left, lol.
What didn't we do while she was here?!? :) Well, we did want to go to Crater Lake but because of the time of year, the rim roads were closed. I guess that just means she'll have to come back.
We had a great time in the redwoods. It's fun to go with someone who hasn't seen them before. They are really indescribable in person. You know they're going to be big....but then when you're standing next to one, you understand why they're so cool. She also got her fill of driving Route 101. In Oregon and in California.
OH! And the food!! Most all of my blog readers are my facebook friends so you were able to 'eat' along with us. :) I love the food up here. True, there are a few dishes and drinks that I miss back home, but for the most part, the ones here make up for it.
This seems like it's going to be such a busy year. Already I've been to Vegas and had mom up here to visit. The end of June I'm headed back home to hopefully witness the birth of my new niece. My 7 year bike accident anniversary is this Sunday. Can you believe it?? 7 years ago....
Anyway...tangent, lol, sorry. I would love for some to come visit in the summer/fall. It's going to be an awesome one. And maybe for the holidays, I can somehow make it back home.
Danielle and I are planning on having a combined b-day party this year. Hers is April 30 and mine is May 2. Watch out world for that party, lol.
The more I work at McGrath's the more bored I am at Macy's. I was doing the math the other day and I think it's actually costing me to work at Macy's b/c of all the s*&t I've been buying there. Things to think about, lol.
So....other than all that, I'm doing good. I miss having mom here. I miss all my friends and family back home. I wish PC had to offer what Eug does.
PC!! Do away with the humidity and build a f-ing awesome bike path!! hehehe

Whew!
Ok, so I got to the blog a little late tonight and I'm exhausted so I'm not going to post everything but I'll touch on the key points. :)
Las Vegas was a lot of fun. :) I won some, I lost some. Had a great visit with my family. Missed those who could not make it. Always ready for another vacation, lol.
I started a new job last week as a server for a regional fish restaurant. Never served before and it's lots to remember. Not to mention that the menu is extensive! Today marked day 6 of training and I'll be a pro before you know it! I've also, so far, kept my Macy's job so between the two of them I haven't had much time to relax. Mom is coming on Friday for a whole week and that will be my time to vacation. I took the week off from Macy's, just hoping Mcgrath's will let me have it off as well. I know I've reminded the manager enough times.
So that's basically it in a nut shell. The weather is bipolar in that one day it'll be nice and sunny and the next it will rain all day. They tell me that's normal. As long as I can squeeze a little sun in there. :)
There will be lots of pictures coming when mom gets here. Not going to be able to make it to Crater Lake but definitely headed to the redwoods. That reminds me, I need to get the few Vegas pictures I took up here.
Alright, well, I'm very very sleepy and I have another long day ahead of me tomorrow. Good night. :)
