My Little, Sweet Nothings!

I have been thinking of something I could write about on this here blog because I know I don't have anything too exciting! Then I got to thinking about what I do these days.. I work, hang out at home, exercise, and sometimes I go bug my married friend Linna! Work alone is something to talk about forever because of all the crazy stories!
Just for all of your information, if you don't know, I work customer service at Best Buy. There is always at least one crazy, hectic story every day that I work! I got to thinking about these stories and that it seems like all of them have a little something in common... Either they couldn't find their receipt to return something, they have a problem and are going to take it out on any associate with a blue shirt and name tag on, or they have an attitude! I will say that in my perspective-most of the time-if someone is going to give me attitude for no reason.. They WILL get the same treatment back. I had an experience with that probably last week! She ended up calling me very rude and that she was going to tell my manager in which I told her to go ahead! :) That is one of my biggest pet peaves - when a customer comes up to the counter and immediately starts treating me like crap just because I am the one that has to deal with her problem. That is NOT cool with me nor will it ever be. Treat people at customer service with respect because that have to deal with more problems then you probably realize AND they can decide whether to help you out in the best way they can or they will just give you the least amount of respect and help in return. Customer Service associates are people too and they understand why you are upset, but come on! Don't take out your anger on them! One other thing.. Enroll in membership programs with these stores you go to on a regular basis! They usually have cards or something that will get you money back or coupons or something. Yeah you might hate the crap you get in the mail (you usually don't get tons of crap in the mail anyway), but it is free money back if you spend good money there. It also helps if it is on your receipts and for any reason we awesome customer service folks have to try to find the receipt that you seemed to misplace. I am saying this with lots of love-I'm trying to watch out for y'all!! HA!
I am trying to work on exercising. I have been doing good, but sometimes it is so hard to find the motivation!! MAN! It's tough, but I can do it if I put my mind to it I guess.. Does anybody have any pointers on getting into a routine?!
I received a calling this past week at church. I am a new primary worker. Right now I am teaching CTR4. They are the 4 year-olds turning 5 and I don't think I ever ever ever realized how cute these kids are, but also how full of energy and how hard for them to concentrate on a subject longer than one minute was! They are a handful, but I think that it will be a good challenge for me over this break. I taught my first class this past Sunday and when we were sitting in sharing time I was just thinking, "Man.. This is so easy! Why do people say this is so hard!?" I quickly took those thoughts back once we got to the class for the actual lesson! WOW! I guess I got this calling for a reason. I have always gotten frustrated with kids real easy, but lately I have started to get this piece in my heart for little kids. So, maybe I got this calling so I can have a bigger piece in my heart and realize that motherhood is TOUGH. I'm definitely not saying that I want to be a mom ANYTIME soon, but I was thinking about how when we dream of getting married and having a family we seem to think it is going to be so easy. I guess it kind of hit me the other day that it is hard work. When girls dream of getting married and having a family, we seem to think of the amazing and fun times, but not the tough, frustrating times. I know that I seem to think it will be all fun and games. So, this is an eye opener. Maybe I really don't want to have kids! HAHA, just kidding. They are fun now because whenever they are sad or have a dirty diaper you can just give them back to the parents. That is just the easy thing to do! I will stick with the playing with kids for a while! :)
Hanging out with friends here is always fun. I realized just the other day that a lot of people, well most of the people, I hang out with here are married. Ok, so ALL of them are married. They are still cool, but they are at a different stage in their life. They have things that they have to do like cook dinner and clean and pay bills whereas I..get to play tiddlywinks and work and save money for shopping trips except for the rent for my apartment at school. Maybe I am just some kind of crazy girl thinking about all of this stuff. Sometimes I just think of things like this and it just hits me. I realize that I am so content with where I am in my life. I am happy that I don't have to think or take care of other people in my life. I mean yeah, I have a family that I think about, but I don't cook them dinner (except for David, my brother, when he gives me a guilt trip..) or anything like that. Does that make sense? I guess I am grateful for where I am in my life right now! I LOVE COLLEGE LIFE!! It is fun being single in college because you can do anything you want! I love the independence! It's just so great!
Well, now that I have pretty much put everything online for everyone and their Mom to read.. I think I'm done! I am off to get ready for the day and go do some shopping! I will have to let y'all know if I get anything good! After all, I still have a gift card from Christmas I get to use up! YES!!! I'm out, but have a great day everyone!!
