A tiny little update...

So, I have been ridiculously terrible about updating this for the last two or three weeks. I know your lives must be in deep and unalterable peril from that fact. Have no fear, a random life update is here!

My job has become ridiculous to an insulting and maddening degree. I have taken home, all together, less than two dollars in the last seven days. Granted, they will have to raise my paycheck to be at least minimum wage for the hours worked - but they always just end up cutting me from the floor and requesting I clock out... so the hours are pretty low, legally, even when I am actually on premises for a while after. Last night I ended up babysitting the boss' toddler son while taking care of his "VIP" guests for free... all the same work as I do for pay, but this time with a 16 month old baby pulling my hair and with no money at the end of it... WIN.

Otherwise... life is going on as normal. Chris and I are hitting our one month this week (depending on how you count it)... so that is nice. We both have today off so we are heading to my place once I get his butt out of bed (it's already 11am!) and we will placate the kitty and play with computer/tv stuff. I think I might also take a few pieces of non-sentimental jewelry up to a shop to sell. Work is definitely not paying, and even with my relatively sizable tax refund I am going to need more money soon.

It has been snowing on and off pretty much constantly all winter. We barely see bare ground anymore - and that is actually not normal for Missouri. We usually get one or two good soilid snow falls, and that is it... but it has been relatively constant since December. Fell on my ass in Chris' driveway yesterday - with tons of grace, of course.

Alrighty... time to wake the man up and see if I get my face eaten off by a grumpy monster. Wish me luck!
