We got to work today and right away Patsy couldn't figure out how to use the new RPO. I have no clue what it stands for, but it is a HUGE PAIN IN THE A**!! We have to use it for the deliveries when they come in. It is also used for Patsy to do the DAX order, which comes from corporate headquarters, mostly it consists of cigarettes that will be here Friday and the juices. She had it all froze up. So I got to work with that thing first thing this morning. I got it to work. Then when Budweiser came in I was putting it in the RPO and Patsy got back from the bank and finished it. I had to hold her hand while she was doing it. It honestly isn't any different than the old one. But, it is a change and a computer. Patsy doesn't do well with either one. But in her defense she had no clue what she was doing. They brought it in last night at about 7:30 and we were both gone, and the assistant manager went home early. Wasn't that nice?! They said that she was going to be trained. I guess that is what I did. I have no clue what I was doing, but for today it worked. Yesterday when I got to work, the CO2 was empty, the papertowels in the women's bathroom was empty, and the cigarettes needed brought up from the backroom. It is so surprising that NO ONE can do that all WEEKEND but when I get there on TUESDAY, I have to do it. I am used to it, that is my ritual is cigs. on Tuesday. It is so crazy thta they rely on me that much.
Today after I got the RPO fixed, Patsy went outside to relax and smoke, Bill went out there to have one too, and Patsy said "She has no clue what she would do without me." My response before would be, she better figure it out, but I guess I am stuck there. It is a job, and I also found out yesterday that out of 5 or 6 evaluations, mine was the only one approved. NOT EVEN LYING!! How cool is that?? So I should have a raise this week, but we will find out Friday. Last week my Baby got a checking account open. I couldn't put my name on it because I don't have a valid I.D. we filled the paperwork out to get direct deposit, Payroll called yesterday and they said that she was going to try and send my paycheck to the bank, but she didn't know if they would deposit it or not. I hope so. That way we will have it on Friday morning, and not have to wait until it gets mailed. So next week we have to go to Rock Port and get me a valid I.D. Woohooo!! But I am NOT going to be like Patsy and the assistant manager and say I don't care if the checks are at the post office, I will still call down and go get them.
Today my Baby did the rest of the laundry. He hung them out to dry on the line. I love the way they smell when they are wind blown. The towels feel so rough and wonderful. Today was so warm, but tomorrow is supposed to be NASTY. I don't know if we will have rain, ice, or sleet or snow. They were talking about all of them. I wish that it would only rain, but I am not Mother Nature, that is for sure. So we will see and I will have to tell you later.
Right now, my Baby got Michaels' bath ready and I am going to start supper. He has done enough for today. Thank you, Baby. Thank you, Jan for commenting about my hair and the wonderful song. I enjoyed both. Have a great night. Hold your Baby real tight and rest assured that all is well within his arms. Good night all, Roxi

My New Doo!!
Today we went to Tarkio and stopped by Casey's to get smokes and a fountain for me. I am so hooked on them. While we were up there talking to Patsy I said that I should go and get my haircut. There is one beauty shop open on Monday, so Patsy said yes you should because I am tired of it being in your eyes. She is so funny. I was getting tired of it also. My Baby was VERY TIRED of it as well, I shed worse than anything. I know that I need to take my Thyroid medicine. It won't stop it but it would help it. So for all those reasons we went down to see if she could do it. She said yes. So I get my hair washed. I really enjoy someone else washing my hair. It so relaxes me. While I was getting that done my Baby went to the grocery store to get groceries and some cash. When he got back she was about done. I got quite a bit cut off. It feels so good. When we got back we stopped off at Grandma and Grandpa's and took a shower. So I am all washed up and about to go and take a nap with my Baby.
This morning when I got up he was already doing the laundry. I told him yesterday if he would wash then I would hang them up on hangers. So that is what we did. We make a really good pair. Thank you Jan for noticing. ;) It really means alot to me for someone to notice and realize how much I love him and how much he loves me. Right now my Baby is worried that I got all "gussied up" for someone else. I didn't. I wish that he knew and wouldn't worry about someone else. But he says that now someone will notice me and take me away from him. I keep telling him that that won't ever EVER happen. I love him. I love you, Baby.
I asked him to take a picture of me so I could show you all how short my hair is. I was embroidering him his towels that his mom had gotten me a couple of years ago for Christmas. I am so ashamed to admit that I hadn't done them before. I wanted to get an iron for the house so I could do it here. I know that Grandma had one that I could borrow, but I hadn't ironed for 20-some years. So I was very VERY nervous. So we got us one and I ironed it on Saturday afternoon and got one of the pictures done. We will have to take a picture of them after we wash them and they dry. I am sorry, honey, that I didn't get it done sooner. But I will get them done now, I promise. :)
SO right now I am going to go back and lay down with my Baby and take a nap. I will talk to you all later. Have a great day. Roxi

Random Thoughts!!
We got home today from work and my Baby DID THE LAUNDRY!! Very suprising. He did 4 loads. Which I know most of you use a washer and a dryer. Here is how we have to do it.
This is how it looks in the winter. When it is warmer we use the clothesline. I can't wait for that time of year.
Here is that photo. My Baby took that one right after we moved the lines to the front of the house. We used to have them in the backyard, but now they are concreted in the ground. It is ALOT handier, and I don't get as winded taking it up and down the hill. My knees are getting really bad. Thank you, Baby for doing the laundry and the dishes so you could do the laundry. There wasn't too many just the one pan that we use to fill the washer. To empty the washer we use the bucket that is inside the washer and dump it into the sink. We did take it clear down the hall and dump it in the tub, but that was way too much work. So now we dump it in the sink. Just don't fill the bucket all the way up. So thank you, honey.
My Baby got a photo album that his brother sent him of pictures of his mom. There were a few of them with him and his mom. He is so gorgeous!! And don't roll your eyes, honey. ;) There is a story about that one. He and I were talking on the phone (when we were dating, sort of) and I was telling him that he was so gorgeous and he made a sound. And I told him not to roll his eyes. He said "how did you know I rolled them." ;) I just laughed and told him that I love him and I watch him a whole lot. He gets so red, especially around the mouth. Anyway, I love you, Baby. So, he is looking at it. He is so proud of it. I am awful glad that he got it. He really needed it. Thank you, Rob and Kim.
There isn't too much else to say. I just wanted to tell you what my wonderful Baby did for me today. I love you with all of my heart, sweety. You mean everything to me. Thank you. And to everyone else, goodnight all. Have a great night and just think of the great things that either you or someone you love has done for you or someone else and thank them from the bottom of your heart. And don't forget to hold you sweety real tight. Goodnight, Roxi

No Pictures To Share, Sorry!!
Sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. I am trying to do it more but most of the time there isn't too much to say.
It has been so cold today. It is 5:50 in the evening and the sun is still shining. Not too bright, but still shining. It is such a great sign for SPRING!! I love this time of year. I can't wait for the peonies to come up. I am trying to get my Baby to order some packets of vegies. I don't eat them, but I know he likes to garden. I love to plant and garden as well, until it gets a 100 degrees, then my happy butt stays in. I have had too many bouts with heat exhaustion. From 1994-1998 I milked cows for a farmer out in Nebraska and not only did I milk the cows, but I also moved irrigation pipe in the corn fields. I didn't do it alone, of course, but it was a long hard day. I started out at 4:30 a.m. and didn't get done until 8 that night. Milking twice that day and moving the pipe. So no I don't do the heat too well. Michael and Bill are wonderful to me, they know the signs for me to go and sit down. My face gets blotchy pink and I start breathing really funny. My ex used to make me still work, but not my Baby. He kinda gets mad at me because I don't know when to quit. I am so terrible and I want to ge tit done no matter what. So they kinda worry about me. Two years ago Michael was very worried about me. As soon as I got in the house and run cool water over my wrists and wiping my face, he really worried. So most of my time I try to NOT do that to them.
It is after 6 right now and the sun is starting to set. It won't be too much longer and it will be 7 and just setting. There were about 12 robins in the backyard playing and pecking the ground. It won't be too long until they start getting worms. My Baby and I was talking just this morning about going fishing. I CAN'T WAIT!! I told him that I was going to take off a Saturday, not too far in the future, and take a vacation day, if I have to. But I will probably have to work that Sunday or Monday. HEAVEN FORBID I get a vacation day. I think that I have 18 hours or so. I think that I should have some sick time as well, but I haven't checked that one out yet.
Yesterday, my Baby got us a checking account finally, so we can get his money from pay-pal, and so I don't have to wait for the post office to send us our paycheck. I am getting really tired of not getting it on Friday. Payday is supposed to be Saturday, but for a really long time we were getting it on Fridays. But for the last 3 paychecks I have gotten them on Saturday. One week we didn't get it until Monday. Which really upset the apple-cart. They have a plan in place incase that ever happens. But, of course we didn't get that. They are SUPPOSED to be pay us out of the safe, and we just sign over the checks to Caseys'. But they didn't do that, they just waited. Of course, the manager, assistant manager, and a couple of other employees get their's on Friday morning (actually Thursday night at midnight) SO they don't care. Actually the assistant manager said that Saturday, when I asked her if she called the Post Office to see if they came in, she said and I quote "No, I didn't, I already got mine and it is gone, I don't care about the others'" unquote. I was actually SHOCKED. My Baby was actually MAD, I couldn't believe it. Yes, I could, but she and the manager could care a little wouldn't you think? I have heard Patsy say the same thing. Actually she said that if anyone complains about getting them on Saturday, then that is what she is going to do is hold the check until Saturday. Well, YEAH, because she already has HERS.
Anyway, it is almost 6:30 and I am almost done complaining. I was trying not to talk about that place. It is almost sunset. Actually there isn't too much longer and the streetlights will be on. Like another minute or so. And my bath is almost done. WHOOOOHOOO!! I love taking a bath. SO have a great night, and hold your Baby real tight.

Different Pics
Here are some pictures I took just goofing off. The first one is of the robins and starlings. They are so BEAUTIFUL!! I love to watch the robins and listen to them. The snow sure is melting fast. Hopefully we don't get anymore for a while. Maybe we can get this rid of before we get more. Maybe all summer, HAHAHAHA!! I am NOT holding my breath on that one.
The other one is of my manager, Patsy. She is so much fun. I had to make her behave so I can take the picture. ;) I work with her everyday, except every other Saturday. She usually leaves at 2 or so. BUT she gets there before the butt-crack of dawn. Then everyone says that she is crabby (the customers anyway). I told them that if I got up everyday before dawn, doing books, and THEN putting up with the customers, I WOULD BE WORSE!! They don't say too much after I say that.
Anyway, thought that I would share them with you. I will talk to you in a little while or tomorrow. Have a great day. And if I don't talk to you later, Have a great night and hold your Baby real tight.
Beautiful Poem!! Thank you Linda
I AM GOD
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, DO NOT attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the something for God to do box. It will be addressed in MY time, NOT yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, DO NOT hold on to it. If you find yourself stuck in traffic; DON'T DESPAIR. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, Leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in the chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Just remember I AM GOD AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF THINGS!!!!
After My Baby read this to me, I really REALLY got to thinking about everything that I have been whining about. I am sorry to all of you out there. This really put everything into prospective for me. Thank you, Linda. Sorry I just had to hi-jack it from you.

Another Day!! Another Penny!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
I got this little picture from an email that Elizabeth sent me. I thought it was so cute. I just love angels. One of these days I will take a picture of all the angels I have. There are quite a few. Most everyone I know and love give me angels for Christmas. Mostly my mom, Elizabeth, and Abbie (a girl that I used to hang out with her mom).
And the other pictures are the MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS that I have ever gotten. I love them!! I love you, Baby!! Thank you, sweety!! They are simply gorgeous, just like you. I love you. ;) And Happy Valentine's Day to you out there in Bloggerland and to your significant others. And eys they are bi-colored. They are like a maroon and white striped.
Yesterday, if you read my Baby's blog I had to work late. Which shouldn't surprise you anymore than it does me. Come to find out the girl that I worked late for, most of it wasn't from the roads (which were slick, but cleared off by 7 pm) most of it was she was having a day. So after I found out why she didn't come to work, I was very VERY disappointed. Her husband is gone from her for a month (which is almost over) and her kids got taken away from her because of him, and she was having a stressful day. Poor thing!! (sarcasm) If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime. But, that is me, and my fat-faced opinion. So not only do I have a CHIP on my shoulder, but a huge opinion. Sorry, folks!! But, I also know in 2 weeks when he gets out, she is either going to call in or not show up. So, woooohoooo, I get to do it all over again!! I love my job, I love my job, I love my job. NOT!! Atleast the people I work with (either too LAZY, or too STUPID!!, or just plain WEIRD!!) I know, I know everone has it everywhere they work. And I sympathize with most people, but most people don't do the MANAGER'S job, and down the chain of command on $7.25 an hour. So no, I don't sympathize, SORRY!! Not everyone is as STUPID as I am!!
Off my soap-box, sorry. That is about all that is going on here. I am making me a bath. Hopefully, it will get done before too long, it is kinda cold in the house. So I am going to get off of here and try to get the pans a little hotter, so it can warm up in here.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone and so sorry that I was whining. Have a great night all. Hold your Baby real tight and don't forget to give them a kiss and a hug for Valentine's Day and for something to do. ;) Have a great night. Roxi

Good Evening!!
Tonight when I got home from an exhausting day at work and very stressful day at that. I checked out a couple of blogs. One was Mishs'. She is not doing well at all. She is a very special young lady. She is going through a whole lot for someone so young. She has AML which is Acute Leukemia. I really wouldn't be able to go through all that she has gone through. My Baby says that I am stronger than I feel. I know that I am not. I have really been through a whole lot with losing my children and having the husband that I had. He was really terrible to me. So now that I have Bill, My Baby, I am very lucky. He is so wonderful to me.
And then I checked out another blog, Jan's. Hello, Jan. I am so sorry that I got on my soap-box. It was really interesting. I get kind of mad thinking that this healthcare system and welfare system is so crazy. Around here the welfare and disability system gives it to the wrong people. There is this guy up the street that gets it for being lazy. There is also this young 20-30 year old that gets it for being diabetic. He is just too lazy. His uncle (father) has half a heart, literally, and he has bone cancer. His aunt (mother) has a colon problem and they can't get anything. But this kid is. The system is so screwed up.
Well, anyway. I am getting off of here and going to go to bed. It has been a really terrible day. Maybe tomorrow I can tell you all about it. Hopefully, it won't be as bad. I know right now it will be. Because no one can do their jobs. And tomorrow all the deliveries come in. Excpet the truck. It stinks so bad. So anyway, have a good night all. Hold your Baby real tight and all the preasure will go away.

Sorry It has Been so Long
Thank you, Jan. I really didn't think that anyone read my blog. I am so glad that you do. It makes me feel really good. Thank you again.
The weather was just gorgeous today. I got alot of work done at work. This morning I got there and Patsy the manager was just kind of wound up. They made a mistake at the warehouse and sent us some cigarettes with Iowa tax stickers. So the Mighty Caseys' lost a WHOLE LOT of money on that mistake. She got the email on Saturday and didn't do anything about it until I walked in today. So out of 30 cartons of cigarettes they will get back 7 and a half cartons. That is over $6 a carton. HAHAHA! MIGHTY COSTLY!! And then this afternoon when my Baby got up there to pick me up and I swept the sidewalk and he got suckered into sweeping the curb. So my poor Baby worked for supper. We got a pizza from there. And then he didn't even eat any of it. He ate a sandwich before we left. And then when I got home I looked and he had raked the leaves away from the house. It looks wonderful, thank you, Baby.
So then after I got them up and packed up. I went out and cleaned the windows on the outside. They were nasty!! Then Patsy was really tired, she just isn't all healed up from the surgery and that is after 8 weeks of resting. I think (just between us) she is kind of ummmmmm, how do we say, wimpy. Will that get me fired? Prolly Not, dangit. LOL!! No, I don't want fired. I wish that they would work as hard as they want me to. I have been there a year and she did do my evaluation. I had a whole lot of Met and Exceeded. None that flunked. So apparently, I do my job well. I know that I sure try. She said on one of those places on it that 'I was a person person.' Most of the time I really DON'T like people. So I guess I do a heck of a jo convincing them that I like it there.
We had a wonderful time on my days off. You will NOT BELIEVE IT?? There are robins here. They sound so beautiful. I love to hear them. I hope that they aren't just teasing. The snow geese are flying up north as well. I do know that if it does snow, it son't stick around. Oh, they are just gorgeous!! We tried to take pics of them to share with everyone, but they didn't turn out too good. We went down to the cemetary where the kids are. That is such a beautiful cemetary. I will have to take pics of it. Especially when the flags are all out on Memorial Day. They go up around the corner and all the way around. Oh, IT IS JUST GORGEOUS!! It really is.
Here is what I have been doing tonight. I love to play with the new camera. My Baby is so cute. The one picture I took standing outside looking in. He was blogging. I tried to take a pic of the geese circling. They were actually circling with the sunset behind them. It would have been better, but the neighbor's dog was barking. Spooked them off. Oh well, I tried. It was clouding up pretty good when the sun was setting. It will probably be rainging tomorrow. I hope not. But, for now my Baby is painting getting ready to send them off to the lady in Vegas. It is so exciting that he is selling FINALLY on his Etsy. He was just saying that he didn't know why he was even on Etsy, and then there was the one sale and then the other's. It is just starting. I love it, and him. I am so proud of him.
So anyway, I am getting off of here and going to bed. Have a great night. Thank you, Jan. Don't forget to hold your Baby real tight. Goodnight, see ya tomorrow.

MIGHTY COSTLY!! And then this afternoon when my Baby got up there to pick me up and I swept the sidewalk and he got suckered into sweeping the curb. So my poor Baby worked for supper. We got a pizza from there. And then he didn't even eat any of it. He ate a sandwich before we left. And then when I got home I looked and he had raked the leaves away from the house. It looks wonderful, thank you, Baby.
So then after I got them up and packed up. I went out and cleaned the windows on the outside. They were nasty!! Then Patsy was really tired, she just isn't all healed up from the surgery and that is after 8 weeks of resting. I think (just between us) she is kind of ummmmmm, how do we say, wimpy. Will that get me fired? Prolly Not, dangit. LOL!! No, I don't want fired. I wish that they would work as hard as they want me to. I have been there a year and she did do my evaluation. I had a whole lot of Met and Exceeded. None that flunked. So apparently, I do my job well. I know that I sure try. She said on one of those places on it that 'I was a person person.' Most of the time I really DON'T like people. So I guess I do a heck of a jo convincing them that I like it there.
We had a wonderful time on my days off. You will NOT BELIEVE IT?? There are robins here. They sound so beautiful. I love to hear them. I hope that they aren't just teasing. The snow geese are flying up north as well. I do know that if it does snow, it son't stick around. Oh, they are just gorgeous!! We tried to take pics of them to share with everyone, but they didn't turn out too good. We went down to the cemetary where the kids are. That is such a beautiful cemetary. I will have to take pics of it. Especially when the flags are all out on Memorial Day. They go up around the corner and all the way around. Oh, IT IS JUST GORGEOUS!! It really is.
Here is what I have been doing tonight. I love to play with the new camera. My Baby is so cute. The one picture I took standing outside looking in. He was blogging. I tried to take a pic of the geese circling. They were actually circling with the sunset behind them. It would have been better, but the neighbor's dog was barking. Spooked them off. Oh well, I tried. It was clouding up pretty good when the sun was setting. It will probably be rainging tomorrow. I hope not. But, for now my Baby is painting getting ready to send them off to the lady in Vegas. It is so exciting that he is selling FINALLY on his Etsy. He was just saying that he didn't know why he was even on Etsy, and then there was the one sale and then the other's. It is just starting. I love it, and him. I am so proud of him.
So anyway, I am getting off of here and going to bed. Have a great night. Thank you, Jan. Don't forget to hold your Baby real tight. Goodnight, see ya tomorrow.

WE HAD AN INCREDIBLE DAY...
My Baby and I took off this morning and went to Shenandoah IA to eat at McDonald's and then we went to Wal-Mart. We hadn't went since before Christmas so it was time. We got a new digital camera that we were both excited about. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the USB port thing to work. But we will try it tomorrow. So my Baby thought that I needed to quit messing with it before I took a hammer to it. ;) not really!!
I got this poem emailed to me. I thought that you might enjoy it (and cry) like I did!!
DADDY LEFT A KISS FOR YOU
A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six-car pileup
On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about
'And blood was everywhere,'
'The sirens screamed out eulogies,'
For death was in the air.
'A mother, trapped inside her car,'
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
'Oh, God, please spare my boys!'
She fought to loosen her pinned hands;
'She struggled to get free,'
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
'On where the back seat once had been,'
But all she saw was boken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
'She did not hear then cry,'
'And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,'
'Oh, God, don't let them die!'
'Then firemen came and cut her loose,'
But when they searched the back'
'They found therein no little boys,'
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad
'And was traveling alone,'
'But when they turned to question her,'
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
'In beseeching supplication,'
'Please help me find my boys!'
They're four years-old and wear blue shirts;
'Their jeans are blue to match.'
One cop spoke up "they're in my car,'
'And they don't have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
'And gave them each a cone,'
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take me home.
'I've searched the area high and low,'
But I can't find their dad.
'He must have fled the scene,'
'I guess, and that is very bad.'
'The mother hugged the twins and said,'
'While wiping at a tear,'
'He could not flee the scene, you see,'
'For he's been dead a year.'
The cop just looked confused and asked,
'Now, how can that be true?'
'The boys said," Mommy, Daddy came'
'And left a kiss for you.'
He told us not to worry
'And that you would be all right,'
And then he put us in this car with
the pretty, flashing light.
'We wanted him to stay with us,
'Because we miss him so,'
'But mommy, he just hugged us tight
And said he had to go.
He said someday we'd understand
'And told us not to fuss,'
'And he said to tell you, Mommy,'
'He's wathcing over us,'
The mother knew without a doubt
'That what they spoke was true,'
'For she recalled their dad's last words
'I will watch over you.'
The firemen's notes could not explain
'The twisted, mangled car,'
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
But on the cop's report was scribed,
'In print so very fine,'
An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.
I thought that that was absolutely wonderful and I wanted to share it with the wonderful friends that we have on the blogs. There isn't much else going on. Tomorrow we get to go pay bills, WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
Have a great night. Hodl your man real tight, and let your man hold you even tighter.
