part 1

I'm baaaaack.

Hmm, quick rundown on the weekend since I've been MIZ.

Friday just really busy and reading Talliswood, kept having to stop all weekend at parts where things were very cliffhangery. LOVED this story! I tank ianmcduff and beatpropx for reccing it for me. Beautiful, just beautiful.

I also got many comments at work "Are you mad?", "who pissed you off?", "Did I do something?".

No, I was not pissed at anybody, I just slept wrong and had a very painful neck all day.

Saturday minne0612 came by the store to drop off the Gramy tape! She was so cute! I like her. And since she was kind enough to bring it by I bought the JC single for her. haven't watched it yet, possibly tomorrow morning.

Today, just nasty weather, wet snow, icy rain, hail. So the roads and sidewalks are all slushy. ick.

Yesterday was also the day of free promos at work. I scored big time! Here's a little glimpse into my musical tastes:

Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Chris Botti, an R&B Heritage sampler, Anne Murray, Melissa Etheridge, David Bowie, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Chris Botti (Christmas), Rosemary Clooney (Christmas), Ella Fitzgerald (Christmas), the West Side Story score, an 80s compilation. an alt-rock Christmas compilation, Brian Setxer orchestra (Christmas), Russell Watson, They Might Be Giants, Jim Brickman, Anita Baker, Judy Garland, Nat "King" Cole, two classical compilations, Natalie Cole, Deborah Cox, Dony Osmond, DJ Sammy, Ottmar Liebert, Lou Reed, and a singer-songwriter compilation

Whew.

And the Regional Loss Prevention manager is going to be in our store on Tuesday and Wednesday doing training. Great.

Must go catch up on 210 posts. Comment time. Oh, and e-mail.

day just dipped down

For the last couple of years my Nana has been on a downward spiral healthwise, mentally, everything. She's been in a nursing home for years now, we visited her over the holidays and she just wasn't there anymore. The family has prepared ourselves for her eventual demise.

At 6:35 this morning she died.

Viewing on Tuesday, funeral Wednesday.

This means (and, yes this extremely shallow of me, but keep in mind I only met her, for the first time since I was a little kid, last year) I have to find something to wear and get the time off at work. the clothes are minor. The work thing could be bad, the LP training is Tuesday the Audit School is Wednesday.

I should probably be more broken up over this but I never really had the chance to know her when she was actually her. I met her a couple of times. Once when I was seven adn again when I was 14. At those ages when you meet someone for a few days it doesn't really mesh with you. She has always been Mom's mom. Nana. Occasional phone calls and letters at the holidays. It may come across as callous but I honestly think she's better off now. Will be keeping that thought to myself this week.
