Tis the season



We are living in a winter wonderland!
I like snow much more more than cold, dreary, rainy winters. All of the Christmas shopping is done, the house is decorated, and now I'm just trying to find the spirit of the season. After participating in my first Black Friday, I feel like all of the Christmas has been drained right out of me. I had to work for 11 hours ( from 2:45 am to 1:30 pm) and I had to provide excellent service and witty conversation that whole time. Needless to say I was a zombie by the end of the day. I gave my 2 weeks yesterday and will part ways with Kohls on the 23rd of this month. I am goign to miss my fellow associates, and may go back and help for back to school, but I'm sure glad that I will be home for the most part.
Travis started a new position at work this week and is still adjusting. The hours are great!!! No more rotating shifts. But, he is a working leader now and some of his co-workers have been harassing him a bit. He knew that this would happen, and was ready for it, so we will see how long he can hang in there.
Roslyn has discovered a great love for the outdoor winter activities and is becoming a pro at sledding. She has a very positive attitude (most of the time) and teaches me sooooo much, with her great Zest for life.
I hope everyone enjoys this holiday season as I try daily to get back some of the REAL spirit of the season. HAPPY HOLIDAYS :)
