Le panier le moin cher...et le plus stressant!

Yesterday was probably the worst day at work ever!

- I was called in 3 hours early (started at 12:30 instead of 3:30)
- I took one 15 minute break, no supper and no second break
- I was the only supervisor on the floor from 4:30-10, meaning I had to close by myself on a Saturday

It was hell.
And to top it off, it was so BUSY! We had 9 cashes open the whole day and there were like 5 customers in line at each cash.

Anyway, I have to go to work... 5 hours of sleep later.
It's 6:15am, and it's still dark outside. It's almost like I never left the place.

Have a good day (to who ever is reading)

Fatty No More

I'm tired of being chubby and hiding behind layers of clothes.
I have love handles damnit! I'm going to change that.

I've decided that it's time for me to start eating better and to get some exercise instead of lazing on my butt all day. I'm putting myself to the test this week to see how a change of diet can affect weight loss. I am keeping a log of my daily calorie consumption and at the end of the week I'll weight myself again.

I need change.

The other night, I bought a box of Crest Whitestrips from work. I always smile, so I thought that it would be a good idea to pretty-up my sourire.

I'm not backing down this time like I did last year. Last year I made new year's resolutions and I didn't stick by any of them. This year I've decided that I'm not going to do things because they are on a list, but instead because I need to. I'll keep you updated on my progress...

Like a turtle in its shell




It's been two weeks since I've written, and to be quite honest... I don't even know why I am taking the time now to write- it's not like I have anything interesting to say.

I don't know, I just find that lately I'm different. Being happy doesn't come as easy to me anymore, it's something that I really have to push for. I know that things only happen if you make them happen, but I sometimes just wish that things would just fall into their place on their own. But where's the challenge if that was the case? Where's the fight?

I often find myself secluded from the world: hidden, with no place to go and no people to see. How can it be the one feels alone even in a crowd of people? I'm full of questions, I just need some answers. I need to find the answers within me. One day I'll figure it out, one day. It's all about the journey in the end, right?

I never knew that a movie could influence my thinking so much. How ridiculous is that? After having seen The Bucket List, I've realized that life is really short and we have to make the best of it.

Interesting thought (from the movie of course):
They had mentioned when in Egypt that back in the day, upon death the pharaoh was asked two questions and depending on his answers, he would be admitted in to the after life. The two questions were:

1) Did you bring joy to your life?
2) Did you bring joy to the life of others?

Maybe one day I'll be able to answer those questions without having to think too hard if I have found or brought joy to myself and others.

In the meantime, my bed awaits me.

Happy 2008!

Another year has come and gone... I can't believe it.
It's crazy to think about everything that has happened and that hasn't happened in the last year, and to a certain extent...it discourages me.
One thing's for sure, I'm going to make this year a happy one. I'm tired of moping around about stupidity. I'm tired of overthinking things. I'm tired of thinking. Although I like observing my life and the people in it from every angle, I'm fed up of the power it has on me.

Anyway, things are going to change.
And this time, for the better.

As for my New Year's resolutions, I don't really have any. I failed at accomplishing pretty much all of my 2007 resolutions, so why make some for 2008? I'll keep you posted on the good stuff though that happens as the year progresses, and as 2009 approaches.
