Honestly, I have been EXTREMELY busy these past few days. My hours have doubled at the pharmacy and I have been doing a lot with my choir at Rose Hill. In other words, I am busy busy busy.....THANK GOD! I honestly consider it a blessing to have these two jobs. I love working with everyone at the pharmacy and I absolutely enjoy being with the people at Rose Hill. I led the choir at Rose Hill for the first time last weekend and it was so much fun! I look forward to every weekend and every Wednesday with these folks. It is such a blessing to be with them and I am learning so much each time I come to rehearsal(s). Unfortunately, I have an 11HR shift tomorrow so I am gonna have to cut this post shorter than the others. Ciao for now!AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-67944090252153483162011-10-24T10:53:00.000-07:002011-10-24T10:53:49.144-07:00WHOA!!!!!!!!!I hadn't realized just how much has been going on these past few days. I don't even know where I should begin. Ok, well, maybe I do. On Thursday I didn't have to go into work at the pharmacy so I knew I could have some down time and prepare a little for the weekend at Rose Hill. Well, around 10PM on Wednesday evening I got a call from my boss at the pharmacy saying that he needs me to fill in for him at this Senior Support Group at Greystone Baptist Church on Thursday. I told him I would definitely do that especially since I will be getting paid and I will be seeing so many familiar faces that I have not seen in so many years. Greystone Baptist Church is where I was raised. I practically grew up at that church from the day I was born. My dad and my Granddaddy were a huge part of that church and were very close friends with the senior pastor at the time. Dr. Malbert Smith was the pastor of Greystone for many years up until I was about 8 or 9 years old when he retired. He is the one responsible for me coming to know Christ at age 7 and he also baptized me in February of 1997. I was so happy to see him again after so many years.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">On Friday I worked at the pharmacy from 3:30PM til closing. I must ask this: WHY MUST IT GET SO CHAOTIC WHEN I ARRIVE!? I know I have asked that question before but...good grief! Anyways, after getting home from working such a crazy shift I hit the sack! I was wiped out! Saturday morning I wake up to the sound of a vacuum cleaner and moving furniture. Why am I not surprised? My mom is a "real mean cleaning machine." Her weekends pretty much consist of cleaning the ENTIRE house. I'm thinking to myself, "Mom, you just cleaned the house like four days ago." She doesn't care...besides, Rollie and Leo have been itching a lot and mom found 2 or 3 fleas on BOTH of them. Yay.....that's exactly what we need in our house: a flea infestation. I had to pack my things to head over to Rose Hill for the weekend while mom shampooed the carpet in both living rooms (told you she was a cleaning machine). While on the way to Rose Hill I got myself a little pick-me-up at Starbucks ;) so what else is new? Hehehehehe. I arrived at my host home around 5:30PM just in time for me to unpack as they were about to head out to a dinner party. A couple of friends of theirs threw a dinner party that evening and they were planning to attend - and I got to watch the house and their little baby, of course. Hehe, my new friend - Tanner :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ_uAuO1ETXmgHw75jTGKKF6l43Ys-QZuLW7mqEcwX8LKWnP3qZm0mklNbeTtclWvP9tZgGwQZaRlt_FlVOw7YfSSq8hDWB7gxnKhDnP6Bc3zLbqvrZNc3oJmbQYezlhC4V445nfMi3k/s1600/da+baby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ_uAuO1ETXmgHw75jTGKKF6l43Ys-QZuLW7mqEcwX8LKWnP3qZm0mklNbeTtclWvP9tZgGwQZaRlt_FlVOw7YfSSq8hDWB7gxnKhDnP6Bc3zLbqvrZNc3oJmbQYezlhC4V445nfMi3k/s320/da+baby.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgAeRYjuceHBfd3REnSW_54PgyXe2zJkD83Edo2KV0LUacNAYcs7OpjEFw2-xHe6bo_zyTciw9bi2XRyQzrxKpgmbXfgwVGUdKie2wsQ_OSdS_QcmlRiQHhoEjKnGtEb7YjU0mLdUZMIA/s1600/tongues.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgAeRYjuceHBfd3REnSW_54PgyXe2zJkD83Edo2KV0LUacNAYcs7OpjEFw2-xHe6bo_zyTciw9bi2XRyQzrxKpgmbXfgwVGUdKie2wsQ_OSdS_QcmlRiQHhoEjKnGtEb7YjU0mLdUZMIA/s320/tongues.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> We still don't know why his tongue hangs out like that...still absolutely adorable, though.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sunday was simply AWESOME! We had a great time of worship and fellowship. After the service, the Price family (my host family) and the Pastor and his wife, and myself went out to eat at a nice Mexican restaurant. The Price's daughters came to visit as well. They were real sweet. After we all ate I decided to do some exploring. I took my camera out and went around the front yard and took dozens of pictures. Some of which were simply AMAZING!!! Check these out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFkWFM8Kf4Cq3kpgG1HblQofILAvaW3stvcUeOenzT1BLSXp5B1KvLHzlK_BISDmewrFsni8jzbKakRhVtii8L59pWdfwrkacHGQR478zKr0igAY5Y-_FQXwEdanVoqy6HszIvEhVMww0/s1600/murray+house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFkWFM8Kf4Cq3kpgG1HblQofILAvaW3stvcUeOenzT1BLSXp5B1KvLHzlK_BISDmewrFsni8jzbKakRhVtii8L59pWdfwrkacHGQR478zKr0igAY5Y-_FQXwEdanVoqy6HszIvEhVMww0/s320/murray+house.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the house of a very nice elderly woman living next door to the Price's.

It's like every time I walk in ready to work everything just turns into chaos! Is it ME!? LOL! I was at a different sotre today so I could get some extra hours. The Pharmacy Manager wasn't available like she said she was supposed to be because she had an emergency call from the hospital. So, a different pharmacist was subbing in her place today. She was real sweet and knew her stuff, but it was just such an absolutely crazy day because people kept coming in one after the other wanting a flu shot. Not to mention this one guy was so dang rude to the pharmacist and the techs that it was difficult to keep a cool head when dealing him. This pharmacy also has a drive-thru so I had an interesting time trying to learn how that thing worked. I walked into this place at the wrong time LOL! I'm just glad I got the extra hours as well as the learning experience. I also met someone who came to get their medication who was from Lynchburg. I told her I went to Liberty and she was delighted. She told me she personally knew Dr. Falwell and his family. I thought it was so neat to meet someone from the 'burg who wasn't a student. She said she hopes to run into me again sometime. So sweet :)AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-8367438424117587482011-10-17T20:39:00.000-07:002011-10-17T20:39:31.738-07:00Blessings & HonorThis past weekend has been crazy-good! On Friday and Saturday I got to spend all day with my Christopher. We went to the Skillet concert and had a blast at the NC State Fair and then watched <span style="font-size: x-small;">THE BIG BANG THEORY</span> <span style="font-size: small;">all of Saturday morning. Around noon on Saturday, Chris had to leave :( and I had to be at Rose Hill, NC before it got too dark. This weekend at Rose Hill Baptist Church was probably one of the BIGGEST deals since my first visit.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This congregation has a more traditional setting than what I have been used to for the past four and a half years. I was talking to one of the Elders of the church and he had mentioned that he has been aching for the good ol' days where the hymns came back into the picture. I felt like I was being put to the test - this is EXACTLY what I have been training for! Of course, I have been trained musically, but I have ultimately been trained to learn how to take on the role of leadership! This was like a real life example from my final worship class my senior year - I'm from a completely different generation being accepted into an older generation. That's such an honor! I'm looking forward to being with the choir and the praise team as well as serving in the church with the Pastor and the rest of the congregation. My mom reminds me to go in ready to lead and learn. There are so many Elders in the church - I have such high respects for them and I am excited to learn from them. I have gotten to know a few of them from Sunday afternoon and they are already like family. What a blessing!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Cynthia was the one responsible for me coming to visit Rose Hill in the first place - she called me late one night and told me about Rose Hill and I told her a little about myself. After that conversation she wanted me to visit and I was more than happy to do so. After that one visit, everything just fell into place. How God provides! When I first walked into their home on Saturday evening I saw the cutest little animal EVER!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcWLLeFkld3qXp5D_N2UAmwQf-0B2nUwtabZlBPPlOoB_afk26zsguE_kvyshJtUHt9jz4LCfnn72MXwy8e3a5heJqhGV390P-quGqMnd18NqgcK-ESavk7rnDzc9CK_sQEo67rRXCGQ/s1600/tanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcWLLeFkld3qXp5D_N2UAmwQf-0B2nUwtabZlBPPlOoB_afk26zsguE_kvyshJtUHt9jz4LCfnn72MXwy8e3a5heJqhGV390P-quGqMnd18NqgcK-ESavk7rnDzc9CK_sQEo67rRXCGQ/s320/tanner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is Tanner, Larry and Cynthia's long-haired chihuahua.

So cute!</div><div style="text-align: left;">I even played with him late Saturday night. He was kinda just walkin' around the kitchen and I found one of his toys laying on the floor and picked it up and started teasing him with it. He got in a playful mood right when he saw me pick up the toy. So, he hopped over to me and started his little growl...honestly, it sounded more like a squeaky door than a "growl." LOL! It was just so precious. If you look closely at both photos you can see his tongue sticking out from the side of his mouth LOL!!! We don't know why he does that, but it's still cute as ever. After this weekend, I think Tanner has made a new friend ;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Once mom and dad and I got home we took it easy and just kind of turned the rest of this exciting Sunday into a lazy-day LOL! It was such an eventful day and so much had been going on it just about wore us out...besides, we ate so much food we were bound to fall asleep real soon anyways, hehe. However, I remembered something right when I put my camera down in dad's office: I had a little sticker from McD's that said I could get a free frap. So, before me and mom went to look at all the pics I took from the luncheon I hopped back into my car and drove to McD's. I hoped that this little sticker I got would work and sure enough, I got myself a free caramel mocha frappe' from McD's. JACKPOT!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm-wTCDYNaCn70vgkpn-4nuumwVZQtzHryWY0qN_84j_bw-z_Nnm-3CxiLgbqlC1g6JpO1SUC60L2fodkjzfgHPetycWs6I1LWwFLHSdosYSGLizYATBeBTdg8A-UXV5_GScUi-5ng5zQ/s1600/mccafe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm-wTCDYNaCn70vgkpn-4nuumwVZQtzHryWY0qN_84j_bw-z_Nnm-3CxiLgbqlC1g6JpO1SUC60L2fodkjzfgHPetycWs6I1LWwFLHSdosYSGLizYATBeBTdg8A-UXV5_GScUi-5ng5zQ/s320/mccafe.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">SO GOOD!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Honestly, I had never tried their frap's before until now.

Of course the first thing we noticed was the smell of all the good food. One of the attractions I love was the petting zoo but for some reason they didn't have that this year :( however, there were lots of other animals we got to see. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNq0DnJaoqVlSFuuMuxYrhdV6zsZfPwFoOLQ-4DS91HnrBB4u8a_9SOlNjSRkO00Hd-qt8gFusVfT2QnUqdBOaVX_SCZdbhr3IG0JIYi49R-upgIxnxt2fNs_MY0kps-ccqD3Wk24y7xs/s1600/20111014_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNq0DnJaoqVlSFuuMuxYrhdV6zsZfPwFoOLQ-4DS91HnrBB4u8a_9SOlNjSRkO00Hd-qt8gFusVfT2QnUqdBOaVX_SCZdbhr3IG0JIYi49R-upgIxnxt2fNs_MY0kps-ccqD3Wk24y7xs/s320/20111014_2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Momma cow and her baby </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">After walking around so much and seeing all the other animals, Chris and I got ourselves a funnel cake. We said that no matter what we MUST get a funnel cake LOL! We found a booth that had funnel cakes for a decent price (keep in mind, things are absolutely NOT cheap at this place). We found a bench and sat down to eat; however, the wind was definitely kicking it that day. We tried our best to not make a mess but the wind prevented us from doing so. I had my back facing the wind but Chris did not. So...needless to say, Christopher was covered with powdered sugar from the funnel cake after a big gust of wind! He got it all over his face, his shirt, and even his pants! It was too funny. At least we had napkins to wipe it off. After cleaning up and finishing our funnel cake, we walked around some more. There were some real nice shops and galleries at the Fair Grounds and one in particular I know a certain someone would just absolutely LOVE! We went into a gallery that had a display of scrapbook pages! These pages were competing against others and I saw so many beautiful ones that looked almost like portraits. There were quite a few that received blue ribbons. It was just so neat to see all these different creations. I was quite inspired ;) After the gallery we saw this on display:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPgTyLHTIMWFTGE7gvKBzcbdfUJOUKUp-yAzTFmojUUsaEoTESXM5QpYufKpO3n_jfrP6NKhcAHEYtkimcf-6raeMhqtXoy8TxWXluGG1a9JQvcq7hPH3vHdOIgr2o8BL_Puawk4Qwwtw/s1600/yum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPgTyLHTIMWFTGE7gvKBzcbdfUJOUKUp-yAzTFmojUUsaEoTESXM5QpYufKpO3n_jfrP6NKhcAHEYtkimcf-6raeMhqtXoy8TxWXluGG1a9JQvcq7hPH3vHdOIgr2o8BL_Puawk4Qwwtw/s320/yum.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">OH!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The smell of warm, fresh fudge completely engulfed the place. It was quite glorious :)</div>AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-13824579598509222642011-10-05T21:38:00.000-07:002011-10-05T21:38:34.872-07:00CrAzIeSt WeEk EvEr!!!Honestly, I do not know where to begin. For starters, I could try beginning where I left off on Monday. Man, I tell ya that was probably the craziest day I have ever experienced at the pharmacy! After chillin' a while at home I went into work at 10AM. When I arrived everything seemed alright and maybe two people were there ready to have their Rx (prescription) filled or picked up. So, I clocked in and made my way to my front station when suddenly I saw another woman inside the pharmacy with a clipboard and pen writing a whole bunch of stuff down....with a rather serious look on her face. So, after a few minutes passed I saw Stephanie (co-worker) go in the back of the pharmacy and I followed her back there so I could ask her who the woman was and why she was here. Stephanie said her name was Michelle and that she was here grading us on our performance. I thought "Oh, perfect...I'm still new and this place is already beginning to look busy. This can't be good." Stephanie told me not to worry about it that if anything goes wrong, it's not directed towards the fact that I'm trying my best to make sure everything goes well LOL. I felt somewhat of a relief. However, that relief faded rather quickly when the line continued to get bigger and bigger after five minutes of putting in two written Rx's for someone (I'm still learning!) LOL. Thankfully Warren was there to help us all through a lot of the mayhem. I mean, seriously...it was so dang crazy and we were behind schedule that it was at least a 45 minute wait for a flu shot and maybe 30 to 40 minute wait to get a Rx filled. It was NUTS!!! To top it all off, this grader-chick was constantly over my shoulder watching me do my job...or at least "trying" to do my job LOL I say trying because it's kinda difficult to do something well when someone is over your shoulder watching your every move...not just intimidating, but quite annoying. I suppose the on thing that really made me kinda giggle a little bit as the shift was coming to an end is when some guy called in a very thick Indian accent rambling on about customer services and wanting to speak with a manager and blah blah blah. After trying to understand what he was saying, he finally hung up...but before he did he said "have a nice evening." So, I thought, "Well...at least he was courteous LOL!" But I am not joking, he sounded like Achmed the Dead Terrorist HAHAHAHAHA! <br />

If you have never filled here before that adds 10 more minutes to the process. Once everything has been done on the computer then the pharmacist has to verify it. Sometimes we don't have that certain drug in stock or we don't have enough and that a-whole-nother different story. It's just...a very complicated process and I wish some individuals would understand that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTION!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anywho...moving along.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGyTs_5VOSyU9r3YHA_7L3s_iolfZBspFOe0QdK0COFSsoJdE4ZcQIjHLo1gzhpnqNgDHAlDfeMzgipgUYEYX1lrOnCINjL5SETmJH4P8P1_ld0lxd_PuNtw1HzMxq5Pzv6sXaWLx6cAw/s1600/prescription_drugs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGyTs_5VOSyU9r3YHA_7L3s_iolfZBspFOe0QdK0COFSsoJdE4ZcQIjHLo1gzhpnqNgDHAlDfeMzgipgUYEYX1lrOnCINjL5SETmJH4P8P1_ld0lxd_PuNtw1HzMxq5Pzv6sXaWLx6cAw/s320/prescription_drugs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some people who have filled their Rx's from Kroger's Pharmacy before have a thing called "Auto Refill" which basically lets us know that the patient/customer is now ready for a refill on their medication and we can easily look it up in our system and refill it for them. It's not as complicated as Rx Intake (taking the written Rx from the patient, scanning it through the system, writing out all the directions for the medication, so on an so forth). Like I said, it's a process.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Another thing that sucks is having someone fuss at you because their insurance wouldn't cover their medication. IT'S NOT MY FAULT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! DON'T YELL AT THE NEW-BY!!! So, the only thing I can do or say is, 'I would talk to your insurance company about this and see what they say.' BECAUSE I CANNOT CHANGE THE PRICE OF YOUR DRUGS!!! So crazy.<br />
<br />
So, all in all, I had at least three people yell at me on Monday and then maybe one or two people throw a hissy fit today. Not terrible, really. Could be worse, right? Yesterday I was at a different store - the one near Southpointe Mall<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrOZBB1fY3fynPGmTIzFH37imWZSUMkR0b6Aaeojkub2LzI3-KxMlxX4TiYz7DvlNNBMMRnXyF3EOrpyIqBJ8GftITQSryt7Radh-HJY8APaJyc_BiLQq3sOAhJ2PPM4G8baneCQBJw84/s1600/000158-pi-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrOZBB1fY3fynPGmTIzFH37imWZSUMkR0b6Aaeojkub2LzI3-KxMlxX4TiYz7DvlNNBMMRnXyF3EOrpyIqBJ8GftITQSryt7Radh-HJY8APaJyc_BiLQq3sOAhJ2PPM4G8baneCQBJw84/s320/000158-pi-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This store was so much more peaceful than the one on Hillsborough Rd. LOL! A little strange, but definitely more peaceful...and by peaceful I mean easy going and at a rather steady pace. Best part: NO ONE YELLED! HAHAHAHA!!! Actually that wasn't the best part of the whole evening...one of the tech's came over and asked me if I was going to this event called "BeerFest" this weekend...LOL I kinda looked at him and laughed a little and very thoughtfully declined his request...still funny though. I kept laughing about it all the way home. When I told my mom she shook her head and giggled and my dad just died laughing. Today when I told Warren about it he definitely thought it was funny...then he quickly responded, jokingly, "Yeah, let's close up early on Saturday and head over there and get smashed at BeerFest...who's with me!?" I BUSTED OUT LAUGHING!!! My boss is a hoot! Love it here! LOL, I love my job here at the pharmacy.....except when it gets way too crazy like this week. Well.....like Stephanie said, "Better get used to it...it ain't gonna get any better." LOL! She's got a point, though. At times it is rather quiet, but then by the middle of the day towards the afternoon is when it gets crazy.<br />

</div>I'm also still waiting for more news regarding my Rose Hill family. I haven't heard any news on the job description just yet nor have I heard anything about when I should be there on weekends or even weeknights (Wednesday night choir rehearsal). Well, we will all find out very soon! It's all according to God's plan, that's for sure!<br />

I woke up at the crack of dawn to get ready and go to my opthamologist for my appointment at 8AM this morning. Turns out I left a tad too early and the office was still closed. I was there at 7:40AM and decided to kill some time til my appointment. So, I went to get some breakfast since I had not eaten before I left the house. I went to McD's to get the usual iced vanilla coffee and something new: fruit and maple oatmeal. I won't lie to ya, it was pretty dang good!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZluMxXb4NmNWjRy09nmYL211TfDK1LpahFfJ7U6bnzkC_ff_-UZFc-4C7NfbeeKcPvO4FQEf6BAvWzkMgOyQL78pG63XbjNnE7W3OlnUzra179NpnQ94uaBHTh_vQJTT7sR0aaKKj6o/s1600/Oatmeal-copy-262x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZluMxXb4NmNWjRy09nmYL211TfDK1LpahFfJ7U6bnzkC_ff_-UZFc-4C7NfbeeKcPvO4FQEf6BAvWzkMgOyQL78pG63XbjNnE7W3OlnUzra179NpnQ94uaBHTh_vQJTT7sR0aaKKj6o/s1600/Oatmeal-copy-262x300.jpg" /></a></div><div align="center">D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For those of you who are McD's fans I highly recommend this one ;).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, on to the rest of my morning story. After I got my breakfast, I went back to my opthamologists office and waited until they opened their doors for me to go in for my appointment. I finished my breakfast and went on inside and said I was scheduled to see my eye-doctor this morning at 8AM. And the two "know-it-all" chicks who were working the front desk looked at me like I had lost my mind. One turned to me and said, "Uhm, your doctor won't be in til later on this morning..."</div><div style="text-align: left;">So, I kinda just stood there pondering for a sec then said I had scheduled an appointment for this morning at 8AM with my eye-doctor, Dr. Alli. The other girl just stood there and kept staring at me like I was stupid and then turned around and got a folder and glanced at it and said, "Uh no...it's tomorrow. Sorry." Well...that was a waste of time. According to them they have a brand new system and someone must have entered the dates in incorrectly. So, I thought to myself: there's no reason for me to stress out over something like this...if it's tomorrow then it's tomorrow.....mistakes happen so, whatever. I thanked them and walked out. Oh well. However, I will say I am still a little frustrated at how they treated me when I walked in. I realize it's real early in the morning, ladies...but get over it! Be thankful you girls can actually get up in the morning and make some money cuz you have a job!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well.....that has been my morning so far. Now I'm off to the pharmacy for an 8hr+ shift. Hopefully it won't be as crazy as it was yesterday LOL!</div>AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-76030687862476404102011-10-02T18:44:00.000-07:002011-10-02T18:44:12.998-07:00EMERGENCY!!!So, after church today I got a call from my boss at the pharmacy saying that one of the tech's couldn't come into work today. According to my boss, she was rushed to the hospital with horrible stomach pains. She's a little better now and back at home but I had to take her place at the pharmacy. Honestly, I didn't mind taking her place at all because:<br />
A) That's more hours for me<br />
B) More hours equals a bigger paycheck<br />
C) The more I'm there, the more I learn<br />
<br />
So, yeah...I was at the pharmacy today for about five and a half hours...and if the other tech can't make it tomorrow evening then I will take her place again. Like I said, I don't mind at all ;)<br />
<br />
I said last time I was gonna go to homecoming at Yates Baptist Church today as well.....however, I decided to go to my old church - the church I grew up in - Greystone Baptist Church. I saw so many familiar faces and it really made my day. I was interested to see that a few things had changed, too. Last time I was at Greystone I remember the choir loft being filled with chairs and the choir wearing the usual blue robes but things were different now: the choir loft had no more chairs and it was now the orchestra pit complete with drums, guitar (electric and bass), keyboard, and a few other orchestral instruments. The choir was in a different location and they weren't wearing their robes. All in all, it was so good to see everyone.<br />
<br />
As of right now, I am currently preparing myself for bed and watching the premier of <i>Weird Al Yankovic's Alpocalypse Tour</i> on <span style="font-size: x-small;">COMEDY CENTRAL</span>.<span style="font-size: small;"> This guy is nuts and I. LOVE. IT! I've heard some people talk about him and how his acts are crazy funny...and they were right LOL! </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">So far, out of the acts he has done, one of my favorites is his remake of Lady GaGa's song <i>Poker Face</i>. His version is called <i>Polka Face</i> - HILARIOUS! He did a remake of a Miley Cyrus song too HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! <i>Party in the USA</i> became <i>Party in the CIA</i>...simply hysterical! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>On another note, I gotta get up extra early tomorrow for an eye appointment - I have no more contacts...meh. Well, hopefully the doc won't dilate my eyes cuz every time that happens I get a MASSIVE migraine and it is definitely no fun. So, I hope that won't happen.

I took a shot of me in the light and out of the light to show you the "blonde-ness." LOL! When I came back to the house mom and dad went crazy over it. It really does look pretty good. I will admit I was a tad worried about it because Cathi has made it a little too blonde before...and by too blonde I mean yellow with gold roots :-\ definitely wasn't a fan of that. Thankfully, it looks quite fabulous! I even got a few good hair care products as well. I usually use HERBAL ESSENCES but I have been noticing it is beginning to dry my scalp out and it isn't really nourishing my hair at all. So, I bought REDKIN. I'll admit, it was rather pricey but it works cuz Cathi uses it on my hair all the time when she styles it. Since my hair is naturally curly I bought the "curl control" kind. Can't wait to use it tomorrow :).<br />
<br />
So, here's another fun fact for the day LOL and this one is rather...different ;) but in a good way: I gave both mom and dad pedicures hehehehehe. Mom is not ticklish at all (*jealous*) and dad is so ticklish that if you touch his feet he freaks out LOL! Almost kinda like me cuz I am ticklish as well (just not to the extreme...except when I'm poked :-P ). <br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I made a batch for the homecoming event tomorrow at church and another batch for work on Monday. Mom and dad had one and mom LOVED it because she got one that was full of chocolate chips and dad was a little skeptical about it. HOW WEIRD IS THAT: the last time I made a batch of these, it was completely backwards - mom didn't like it and dad loved it. Definitely strange, but HEY, they're still good to me ;) hopefully everyone at the pharmacy will agree. Here's hopin' ;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

BRAWL hehe just like old times (which was not but a few months ago LOL!). There's Damian, Karch, Brad, Isaac, and Eric in "The Zone." He went over and spent the day with them and I think he said he was gonna stay the night and go to church with them in the morning. Wish I could be there amongst the nerdiness :) fun times. <br />

I definitely needed this LOL! My dark roots are showing so much I'm almost embarrassed to even go outside in public. My stylist, Cathi, is such a doll! She knows her stuff, too. OMG! I almost forgot: today is October 1st! YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! When I was walking outside to my car I felt a little chilly...FINALLY! I'm so happy it actually feels like Fall right now. Took long enough LOL! I was hoping to make a quick stop to McD's and get an iced coffee and their new fruit and maple oatmeal before my hair appointment - I've been wanting to try those for quite a while. Oh, and today I get to look forward to some time in the kitchen! Tomorrow is the annual homecoming at my home church, Yates Baptist Church. During our homecoming events we usually have lunch in the fellowship hall after the 11AM service...this gives me the perfect excuse to bake my famous pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies again :) YAAAAAAAY! Ok, so I'm finally under the dryer now getting my hair dried so it can be straightened. I haven't really straightened my hair in a long time... Last time I straightened it was...about a month ago. So, we'll see how this turns out. Hopefully it will look somewhat natural LOL. My natural color is a dark brown so my eyebrows are rather dark, too. Speaking of which.....those need to be done as well LOL. I look like I have two wooly worms on my forehead. OMG listen to me I sound like such a girly-girl.....where's my nerd-side? This happens every time I get my hair done or my nails done LOL! Ok, enough of my rambling. Time to style this head of hair o'mine and see how everything turns out! Pics will be posted real soon! Stay tuned (for those who care).AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-4910905206734995832011-09-30T20:53:00.000-07:002011-09-30T20:53:38.131-07:00Late Night Shopping........Can sort of be a really bad thing LOL especially when you have found so much you really REALLY like hehe ;) Just yesterday after running so many errands I ran by Target for a while. I was already at Barnes & Noble at the mall (Southpoint) so I decided to make a little stop in Target on my way home. Target is definitely one of my all-time favorite stores...EVER! While I was browsing I just could not believe my eyes! I, of course, was in the "Home Decor" section...which is right by the shoes and handbags.....pretty much, my own little haven :). As I was looking around my eyes just so happened to stumble upon this absolutely FABULOUS bag.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-7DFJGQcUVw5cuiHpFdtnHcMq9hrQRu2G4DxGJwcNNuh9sZJSkdLTwcqlXPTitWP8AdL4YMnBR5Zzy1mOfLKt75ZXOul_dxDdDgxnLtTnVxXsH4r_RINrpjj3UsekPRdhY6-yEu9AZA/s1600/target+purse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-7DFJGQcUVw5cuiHpFdtnHcMq9hrQRu2G4DxGJwcNNuh9sZJSkdLTwcqlXPTitWP8AdL4YMnBR5Zzy1mOfLKt75ZXOul_dxDdDgxnLtTnVxXsH4r_RINrpjj3UsekPRdhY6-yEu9AZA/s320/target+purse.jpg" width="304" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">OH. MY. GRACIOUS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Is this not the most fabulous bag EVER!!! Looks like something from Nordstroms in their handbag section. I'd say this definitely looks like a MICHAEL KORS bag or maybe even MARC JACOBS or JIMMY CHOO. I just love getting bags that are total knock-offs of the original because not only does it look EXACTLY like the original.....but it cost WAAAAAAAAAY less. For instance, a bag made by MICHAEL KORS or MARC JACOBS are around the $500-$3000 price range. This bag on the other hand was originally $35 at Target...and it was on sale for $17..........and I said YES!!!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also got a little something else as a dedication to me and my BFF Allison's friendship.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8mtVrICUJXRUTYlTGSC5BotpjsKdkk08Bwp0AJA_zy_cvOuNLTBEGRYkuxJn3FtD2lqZAKaJ9qmurkL0awPZJNlHN8BeF9-0tMd3YRShFPHdJIbZymYjSwjoZ64QxQSxEazbJFVJ5yg0/s1600/new+york.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8mtVrICUJXRUTYlTGSC5BotpjsKdkk08Bwp0AJA_zy_cvOuNLTBEGRYkuxJn3FtD2lqZAKaJ9qmurkL0awPZJNlHN8BeF9-0tMd3YRShFPHdJIbZymYjSwjoZ64QxQSxEazbJFVJ5yg0/s320/new+york.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>Allison and I have been best friends since 3rd grade. We have come to the conclusion that we were separated at birth LOL. We were cheerleaders in middle school, we were in concert choir together in high school, and we both graduate high school together. The reason why me and Allison are so obsessed with New York is because for our senior class trip we went to New York City. For the first half of the week we stayed at a ski resort (which was rather fun) and for the last half of the trip we all went to the city and had our own personal tour of the ENTIRE city. We went through Harlem, China Town, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and best of all: Times Square. We loved it so much that Allison and I promised each other that we would one day return to the Big City and spend an entire weekend shopping and having a BLAST! So, I bought this wall decor piece for us :) now I just gotta find a place to hang it LOL.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">First of all, there is a gorgeous old NIKON camera complete with telephoto lens and everything. It gets better: the journaling. Sometimes, I just like to write about stuff: whether it's about my day or what I have been thinking about lately. I even have my own personal binder of notes from training sessions with the Pharmacy. And last but certainly not least...notice the exquisite cup of Starbucks coffee off to the corner of the photo. This photo just shouts AWESOMENESS!!! I kinda wanna save it and go print it out and frame it...I mean, that would look so good in a gorgeous frame around my little study area. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ok, I am getting so dang tired. Today was a rather long a busy day at the pharmacy. At times it was on and off but it was busier than usual. Next week I will be working Monday through Friday (OH SNAP!) I will probably be so tired after every day LOL but it will be worth it ;)</div>AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-60265951686847981732011-09-29T11:57:00.000-07:002011-09-29T11:57:40.970-07:00National Coffee Day!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNriuQqw5b7RgvTwZnejMatD8ko8luq3sx8ZZHHOmdm8O7DqqnduNUFsOPaa7ZC0bqSSbTe8Gqi0HAnIn5wCOOkIWoWSk_EbpVflMYV5suNBG9q6sgJPDBOVgaEa-_XlN0NceC-3lMgbA/s1600/100MEDIA_IMAG0523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNriuQqw5b7RgvTwZnejMatD8ko8luq3sx8ZZHHOmdm8O7DqqnduNUFsOPaa7ZC0bqSSbTe8Gqi0HAnIn5wCOOkIWoWSk_EbpVflMYV5suNBG9q6sgJPDBOVgaEa-_XlN0NceC-3lMgbA/s320/100MEDIA_IMAG0523.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY EVERYONE!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>For the coffee lovers such as myself, I went out and got myself a pumpkin spice frappuccino and a cream puff ;) Couldn't resist. Today and yesterday mostly consisted of running errands for mom and dad since I didn't have to go into work today or yesterday. Went to see my aunt Mitzi and uncle Ed on Tuesday (didn't have to work Tuesday either lol). We went out to lunch and I got to tell them the good news about Rose Hill and my adventures at the pharmacy. They were real excited! Today I ran by the pharmacy to pick up my first paycheck :) YAY! When I got back home I realized mom's car was parked underneath the carport. I thought she was here on her lunch break when I realized it was a little passed her regular lunch hour. When I walked in dad said she wasn't feeling well at all. She even felt a little nauseous this morning and tried to make it through the day but just couldn't. Don't know what's up but I certainly hope it's nothing too serious. Dad is just getting over a bad sinus infection he had this week and now mom is feeling BLAH. Like I said, I hope it's nothing serious because I don't wanna be next.<br />
I'm still sitting here in Starbucks at Southpoint Mall just enjoying my frappuccino and one of my favorite magazines: MARIE CLAIRE.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Tonight at 8PM is another new episode of the Big Bang Theory :) I'm real excited about that. Hopefully mom will be somewhat better by the time dinner is ready. We do the traditional Chinese take-out whenever there is a new episode on. Last weeks episodes were HILARIOUS! According to the previews I have seen tonight's episode is supposed to be even FUNNIER! </div><div style="text-align: center;">*crossing fingers*</div>AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551337208680618915.post-61110488688700888172011-09-27T13:04:00.000-07:002011-09-27T13:04:42.387-07:00Animalz<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, I think by now you all must know how much I love my pets. I have a dog and a cat - my Shih Tzu named Rollie and my sweet kitty-cat named Leo. Sometimes they do the cutest and funniest things. Rollie is just spoiled rotten (and he knows it). Here he is laying down next to mom before bedtime. He has one of his favorite toys right underneath his neck ~ TOO PRECIOUS!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I woke up real early on Sunday morning to go to Rose Hill Baptist Church around 6:15AM. I took my time getting ready, got my coffee and breakfast and started getting dressed with the TV on. Suddenly I realized it was 8:55AM and I should have been out the door on the road by 8:30!!! So, I had to rush to get everything in my purse and in the car ready to get on I-40 (THE. BUSIEST. INTERSTATE. EVER. IN NORTH CAROLINA!!!). Thankfully, I-40 isn't as bad on weekends - around 4:45PM - 6:30PM Monday-Friday is TERRIBLE! Anyways, I kinda remembered how to get to Rose Hill, but I still needed my GPS to take me down the other roads. Here's where things got interesting: it took 5 minutes for my GPS to finally load the directions to Rose Hill and by the time it finished loading it had already taken me through Downtown Durham.....WHAT!?!?!? I'm sitting in my car freaking out thinking, "Crap, I'm gonna be late to church and I'm gonna be so embarrassed." I finally had to call my dad (who has lived in Durham all his life) to help me get outta Downtown Durham and back on the highway. It didn't take long, but I was able to get on I-40 without anymore problems. After all that chaos, it was smooth sailing from there. Got to the church at least 7 minutes early - not bad, but not great either LOL next time I gotta watch my timing and be a lil more careful. OOPS.<br />
<br />
The service was great and seeing everyone again really put a smile on my face. I sang with the choir again and this Sunday was also the last Sunday that the Music Director was going to lead and direct the music. Her name is Linda Murphy. I met her and her husband and they were both absolutely the sweetest. After the service, we were all invited to their house for lunch.<br />
<br />
Now, here comes the real surprise: I rode with Mrs. Cynthia Price and her husband to the Murphy residence after church since I didn't know where to go - this is only the second time I have ever been to this town. We had almost arrived when we approached a HUGE gate...like REAL HUGE! I said, "Whoa, are we going to a country club or something?" And Mrs. Price said, "Have you ever heard of Murphy Farms?" I said, "Yes." And she replied, "Well, this is Wendell Murphy - former<span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">North Carolina</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">farmer</span><span style="color: black;">, Democratic </span><span style="color: black;">politician</span><span style="color: black;">, and namesake of the </span><span style="color: black;">Wendell H. Murphy Football Center at NC State University." "..............................................." I just sat there in total amazement after what I had just heard...and I became absolutely blown away when we drove through the gate and I saw what I call a freakin' ESTATE! I was about to enter into the presence of <strong>THE </strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_H._Murphy">Wendell_H._Murphy</a>! I was stunned: the front yard looked like a golf course, their backyard was a lake, and they had a screen-in front porch that was gorgeous. We walked inside and I almost shouted in awe. Their dining room looked like Croasdale Country Club where I had my senior prom. Check it out!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The woman on the right end in the black dress is Mrs. Linda Murphy - former choir director at Rose Hill and Mr. Wendell H. Murphy's wife. In a few weeks I will be filling her place as, not only the choir director, but also the worship leader. I got some big shoes to fill ;). She is highly admired and everyone in the choir has, and still, loves and respects her. I'm really looking forward to being a part of Rose Hill and being their Worship and Music Leader. God has certainly blessed me in so many ways. After worrying about how I won't find a job in my field or anywhere at all, I am blessed with TWO part-time jobs...and I absolutely LOVE them both!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Anyways, didn't have to go into work today and tomorrow I go to Rose Hill again :) really looking forward to it. So, to pass the time I cleaned house a little while mom and dad were outside doing some yard work and stuff. It's been raining on and off here and it STILL doesn't feel like Fall yet (meh). However, it started looking like Fall by dinner time when I went into the living room and saw mom asleep on the couch and dad watching the Clemson game - football = FALL!!! But, that wasn't the only thing I saw in the living room ;)<br />

My first week of working at the pharmacy has been fabulous. A few times would get hectic and then at other times it would be rather calm. I'm working with a few other girls who are also techs and the two pharmacists (Terry and Warren) are awesome! Btw, Warren is my BFF's step dad :) pretty cool, huh? Anyways, I'm still learning about a lot of stuff. There are so many technical things I'm still learning and already so many things I have learned. It's different, but I will say I really do enjoy it. How awesome is that: looking forward to going to work every single day and loving what you do! I haven't felt like this about any job I have ever had...SERIOUSLY! Well, that's just ONE job...I'll be getting a SECOND job soon! Technically, I have already been chosen for the job at Rose Hill Baptist Church as the Worship and Music Leader but I haven't been "ordained" yet, I guess.<br />

I tell ya, things got a tad crazy after a while. Still, I absolutely love it here. I saw my sister-in-law this morning as she came by to do some kind of check-up (she's the district manager.....I think...) I got connections ;) Anywho, break is almost over but I can't wait til tonight: SEASON FIVE PREMIER OF THE BIG BANG THEORY :) I'm super excited about this. The last season really disappointed me...hopefully this season will not be a repeat. Until then, I'm back on the clock.

A lot...and I mean a WHOLE FREAKING LOT has happened since Monday. I mentioned before that I went to a church near Warsaw on Sunday morning (Rose Hill Baptist Church) and got a chance to speak with the Pastor and the personnel committee during that visit. After that one visit and speaking with everyone including the Pastor, they emailed me a very lengthy and detailed message saying they wanna hire me as their Worship Leader!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!!! Not to mention I am loving working here at Kroger Pharmacy :). Everything is fabulous! God is just so good! Praise Him for these awesome opportunities! I know that's not a lot after a couple of days but if you wanna read the whole thing go to my Facebook page:<br />

I know, that's pretty dang early but I wasn't going to church here in Durham...I had planned to go to church in Rose Hill, NC - Rose Hill Baptist Church. I had a GREAT time! I met with the choir members and the personnel committee...they even asked for me to sing with them in the choir this morning and I was more than happy to do so. We sang "Beulah Land" - such a good song. It really didn't take me long to get to know most of the people in the choir and it was fun singing with the choir. Their Call to Worship was led by the praise team, the Pastor, and the choir and unlike other churches I have attended they led with track and not a live orchestra or rhythm section. It was so cool though. After the service, the Pastor, his wife and a nice couple from the personnel committee took me out to eat at this real nice restaurant - very old fashioned but very good. We discussed some stuff regarding possibilities at the church in the future. I felt real positive about the whole ordeal and I look forward to hearing back from them sometime this week.<br />

At least I passed, though :). I start my first day as a beginner pharmacy tech on Tuesday at 10am. PRAISE GOD! I'm not gonna lie, I have never felt real positive about a job before. It took a while for me to get used to the routine of stuff but I got it...still learning though, which is not a problem. I'm really looking forward to working at the pharmacy.<br />
<br />

I call this one "Three Generations." Once again, using old scrappy goodness from a very reliable source to make this happen ;).<br />
<br />
Tomorrow morning I gotta rise and shine real early to make sure I get to church on time...at Rose Hill Baptist Church in Rose Hill, NC that is. One of the members of the personnel committee gave me a call the other day wanting to know if I was interested in meeting them after the service for a meeting with the Pastor. Here's the catch: I have no clue where this place is LOL! Good thing I got a GPS system cuz I would be so lost without it on the road. <br />

Gotta love Gibbs! A few years ago I dressed up as Abby for Halloween - she's the goth with the pig-tails in the back of the pic. I pulled off that look pretty dang well, if I do say so myself. Anyways, I didn't have training yesterday and I don't have training today. Tomorrow and Friday will be my final days of training and by then I should be ready for the floor. I'm really ready to start this new job. I'm still sending out my resume to different churches as well through churchstaffing.com - it's difficult but it's helping me out a whole lot. That site is definitely helpful. Anyways, I did a few more lil "projects" yesterday. Take a look for yourself ;)<br />

Instead of being at the pharmacy in Durham (the one where I'm originally supposed to work) I went to the pharmacy at Raleigh. This one is the training grounds for new pharmacy techs. Not gonna lie, throughout half of the training session today I caught myself nodding off LOL! Not only was it real early in the morning but I was staring at a computer screen for a real long time once again underneath a bunch of fluorescent lights. However, I will say that I felt confident after the session today...a little overwhelmed due to how much information was fed to me but still rather confident.<br />

Thought I'd try something new. I made this with old scrappy pieces from a very reliable source ;). This is me and my mom in '89 and '90. The top pic was taken in June of '89...basically, I was only a month old. The bottom pic was taken on my first birthday - May 27, 1990. Sorry the whole thing looks a lil faded. I laminated it so it would never get damaged. Maybe I could continue this lil trend here ;) thanks to that reliable source who taught me this lil trick.AshleyMarieCateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06968539409007816260noreply@blogger.com1
