what do you want to do...

before you die? I just watched the buried life on mtv. it is a show about 4 guys who have a list of 100 things that they want to do before they die. the spin on it is that every time they complete something on their list they do something for a stranger. this week their challenge was to sneak into a party at the playboy mansion. during the show they met a man who was a teacher at a charter school. he said that he wanted to help out his school by starting with getting a new computer that actually works. so the guys went out onto the streets of california and put on a show to raise money for the computer. anyways, its a really great show. and it got me thinking. what do i want to do before i die?? every time i think of things it has to do with work, and thats not right!! but i have no idea what i want to do outside of that. i know i want to help others. i know i have soooo many interest and things that i want to learn. i know i would LOVE to learn what i call decorative house improvements. i want to learn how to tile, grout, paint, hang light fixtures. all those fun things!! i want to be able to volunteer. i want to make a difference in the world. but what that means to me, i have no idea!! i think todays challenge will be to figure out what i want to do before i die...

PT job!?!

I'm trying to decide if I should get a part time job. it would have to be extremely part time. Ideally it would be something that I could do at home. I have been thinking of setting up something online to try and sell my baked creations. I mean it's something that I love to do, people seem to enjoy my baking and if I could make some money at it, that would be ideal. Maybe I should look into this....

Longest week of my life....

Wow. Last week was CrAzY!!! Monday I went to work and did my usual thing. I was so proud of myself because of how much I got done in such a short amount of time that I decided to "reward" myself and go home early!! It was great. I was able to relax and hang out with tank (my beloved bulldog). Then at 8:15pm I got a call and all the relaxing ended for the week. One of my shift supervisors called and said (seriously what I am about to say is what they really said) "Meg I think I have bad news" my first thought was, crap the safe is short. Wrong!! So anyways I say "what" and she says "I think there might be a dead body in the bathroom." Yes I said dead body. So I get up and get to the store in 10 minutes. Sure enough, a customer did pass away. So I was at my store on Monday until midnight. Then I had to call my shift supervisors and let them know what happened. I was up until 2am doing that and then I had to be back to work at 4:30am Tuesday. Needless to say I didnt get much sleep. Then I was at my store from 4:30am to 4:30pm dealing with things. The police were treating our store as a crime scene so we were closed until 3pm on Tuesday. By the time I had gotten home and was able to fall asleep I had been up for over 36 hours. Then on Wednesday I had to deal with all the customer comments and questions. That took a lot of out me. That was really hard which was surprising!! Then as soon as that was done I had to switch rolls and finish planning my sisters baby shower!! That was a lot of work but all worth it. My mom and I spent all day on saturday making chocolate covered pretzels and running last minute errands. Saturday night I just crashed I could barely keep my eyes open. Then I woke up at 5am on Sunday to finish the madness. I had to run more errands and then start to get things ready before everyone came over at 1pm. All in all though it was a wonderful day and she recieved many wonderful gifts. Hopefully this week will be much quieter...
Below is a picture of the pretzels that we made.
