"The Rev" found dead

I woke up this morning to find on the news that James Owen Sullivan was found dead in his home last night. For any of you who don't know who that is, he is the drummer for the rock band Avenged Sevenfold. The man had AMAZING talent and will surely be missed by millions of people around the world. I just wanted to give my respects to his family and band members.

Its Christmas again!

Its coming... a day we all know to well. December 25th is Christmas... and yet every year I hear the same ol thing... Wow! Christmas has really snuck up on me this year. I just really wanted to give my two bits for the people who Christmas continually sneaks up on... Its the same time every year, and has been since before you were born. You would think you would get the hint. You have a whole year to plan for it so get your act together. As for me, I just choose not to give any gifts. One reason, I usually don't have to money to give everyone I come in contact with a gift so that their precious feelings don't get hurt. Besides, Christmas shouldn't be about the gifts anyway. I would much rather have my family together and not exchange any gifts than get a whole ton of presents an be alone. Call me crazy, which Im sure some of you will... but come on. Its life. For all you who are really into Christmas and the spirit of it, sorry if I sound like Scrooge. I do believe I am not alone however which is what gives me the strength to voice my opinion. Ha Ha just kidding. If you know me at all you know I would voice my opinion about it anyway. Hope you all have a good one.

Exclamation!

I just wanted to say, even though I am sure work is going to be extremely slow for the next couple days... I am so very glad to be going back!

Dazed and Confused!

I have suddenly been introduced to a very different way of life for Celeste. In the last week I have been thrown into a world where I am not at work 70 hours a week, in fact I am only scheduled for 24 and its all this weekend.
So what have I been doing with all this extra time you might ask? Well, going crazy pretty much will sum it all up, but for the sake of argument I will expand on my statement. I have rediscovered the art of sleeping in, which in turn throws off my entire day. I have for the last two months been participating in an eating program which requires me to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours to keep my metabolism boosted. Well, this whole waking up at almost lunch time really throws off your day.
My younger brother moved back home last week and I was really hoping to spend some quality bonding time with him and get both of us moving since he wants to lose weight because he has plans of getting married in the not so far off future and would like to look like a stud for that, and well, its always something I am trying to work on... but alas, he has spent pretty much every waking minute on his cell phone if not talking to his fiance but texting her... I understand the whole, new love mumbo jumbo... but come on. I try and talk to him even if it is for two seconds and he goes through withdrawls because its my voice and not hers. I won't lie, its quite irritating. So much for bonding with his big sister.
So then I find myself extremely depressed cause my little brother doesn't like me anymore and feeling confused cause I slept for half the day... so then I tend to sit on my butt and eat which doesn't help with my quest to be the skinny beautiful person I am inside my head.
I am actually quite excited to get back to work on Friday, but until then I guess I just need to get re focused on what I am doing.
I watched the finale of The Biggest Loser (a long time favorite show of mine)... Rebecca and Abby... and Shay... oh yeah and Danny (the kid, not the man) were my most favorite people on the whole show this season and just seeing them at the finale was a really good motivator to get my butt back in gear. Thanks guys, I defiantly needed it. Specially since I have hopes of being to my goal weight by April... Eeek! I can do it!... I hope!

Bah Hum Bug!

Life goes by so fast... I have spent most of my time the last while at work. Imagine that! My boss had a baby a couple days before Thanksgiving so I got the pleasure of working the last 2 weeks straight, open to close... Oh Joy!
Actually as tired as I get I am grateful for it cause I need the money. I am however sick of dealing with some of the people. In the last week I have ended up babysitting more kids than helping customers. In fact, I had at least 3 families return to the store the day after Thanksgiving so that their kids could return items that they stole... I have also dealt with my share or deaf men and women from hell.
You know how people say that the holidays are the time for joy and giving and that they bring the best out in everyone... I think whoever said that was on crack or an agoraphobic person cause all of my experiences have told me otherwise. All you have to do is watch the news and listen to people fighting over Christmas gift and or deals on Black Friday... You would think that maybe with the economy in such dire straights that people would go back to the simple things of the holiday season, but I guess not. Oh well. All I know is, I am glad that this season only comes around once a year.
