Sometimes, going back to the “workplace” is the only way to relax from running all weekend. Friday, the first day of my interrupted weekend, was filled with driving to Tucson, working on the trailer my mom had lived in, helping my sister get it into shape (a little bit – you should see everything she’s done since she started the project!) and driving back in time to join the church family for some bible study.

Saturday was a work day – if, like TMBWitW you can’t bring yourself to call working in a toy store “work” then consider it a day of fun and games away from my family. I really enjoy this career change, and the learning curve, while sharp, is still manageable. I think the biggest challenge is getting my mind wrapped around what is in the store, and what is on the way. In case you don’t know, the start of Christmas stock levels is now. There is lots of freight headed our way, mostly ordered while the boss was at the ASTRA convention this month. She says she found some really neat stuff – I can’t wait to see it!

Sunday was church, and afterglow, and then after visiting with a prospective fill-in babysitter while our regular sitter has her baby, we headed up to some friend’s house for swimming and BBQ. Mmmmm! good stuff.

Oh – and as a side note, I got a new phone when we added a third line on our account. It’s a Nokia 5230, it has a touch screen, and the owner’s manual (found on line, with enough searching) is lacking in a few areas, especially for someone who has never owned a touch screen phone before. For example, no where in the user’s guide, the start up guide, or anywhere else (as of this writing) does it tell you that in order to turn off the alarm you need to swipe your finger across the face of the phone. I struggled with this from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon, and was seriously considering returning the phone for it’s lack of documentation. Turns out the phone is fairly new – it was released on June 15 and I happened to get it a week later. I love being a guinea pig. Not.

Chat ya later…
