Unfortunately I have been away for a week. I will be off this Friday and will update what is going on. For those of you that have been in contact with me through cell phones or Cimi, thank you for all of your support these past few days. The silent support has meant alot to me and kept me going throughout.

1st 2008 Gulf Hurricane Dolly

i work all weekend and when i get to the news i find out that another hurricane is on its way somewhere. what ever happened to the "C" hurricane?

4 days at work

i would just like to know, why is it that when you return from vacation, you work harder than you did prior to leaving for vacation. everyday this week i have woken up prior to the alarm going off and getting up to get ready for the day. rocko and i have had some really good bonding time in the am. he comes down wants to go out then wants water and maybe breakfast to go along with it. that is the extent of our bonding as then he goes back up and naps until dago gets up for the day. i thought that dogs slept all day when you were gone, is he? cause he sure likes that early morning nap. anyway i digress.


so back to work on monday, took most of the day to read the over 150 emails that were waiting. touching base with all of the people that needed their bases touched, and no one struck out.





tuesday was typical with conference calls, meetings, more conference calls and then more meetings. i love being productive .





wednesday was all about back to school for juniors, rmm visits, floor moves, people connections and planning for the upcoming conference call for the National Urban League convention touch base. For all of you out there, an Assistant Store Manager for Macy's Florida is involved in lots of things. For some strange reason, I got volunteered for this for the region. mmmmm





and thursday finished up the 1st part of my back to work week with rallies, congratulations to sheyla for celebrating 20 years at macy's, touching bases again, do we sound like we play baseball? i prefer soccer, go Carey and Steph.





so tomorrow is friday, i am off, hair day and then we will see what else the day brings, i hope it does not rain, it has everyday this week, sunshine would be good.

last saturday before going back to work

My July vacation is ending. Today i got up early and met Cimi at her house cause we made our annual trip to the Hallmark store to get those collectibles that we both collect. Cimi decided that we should be there at 9a and I do have to compliment her on her timing. We were in and out spending our money on those collectibles that we collect within a half hour. Then we drove back to her house cause she wanted to drive by this garage sale. We could not find it. It was the fastest garage sale that we had ever passed. mmmmmmm

I have now finished cleaning my house, completing the weeks laundry and also ironing all of my clothes for the upcoming week at work. Life is easy when you only have to figure out shirts since all I wear are black suits.

I have spent quality time this week at the pool, reading trash novels and keeping Rocko company. I did have a facial by Jacki, who has the best method for relaxing you in a very short time.

For the 4th Dago and I drove to Captivia for some wonderful beach time. This was our 3rd year spending the holiday with Bonnie and Rob. Each year we have upgraded our lodgings and this year was the best by far. We had the 3rd floor of the big house at the Old Captiva Inn on Andy Rosse lane. It was great. Our private balcony that overlooked the lane and we could enjoy the live music each evening from the Keylime Bistro.

This year we had the best idea, we stole it from someone last year. Bonnie and I had a weight that tied to our rafts that kept us from going out into the wild yonder of the Gulf of Mexico. This was one of the best conversation starters I have experienced this past year. A truly relaxing vacation and I wish I was still there, but there is always next year.

Would love to hear your comments. Thanks for letting me be a part of your blogging world.
