Life is crazy.

Happy Birthday, Krista!

Happy Birthday Jan.

I love 'I don't Care,' best song ever! Merry Christmas.

Barber. I love my barber.

Hi David! It is good to hear that you are doing well! I look forward to your new story. Kurt

She is a very pretty dog. Mila sounds like a very nice name.

Maybe you could just be honest with him? Let him know that you feel betrayed by what he did. If he truly is a friend he will feel guilty, and it will hopefully not happen again. I think that it could be possible that he might not even know that you are upset over this? Maybe he is someone that prefers to separate business from his friendships? If that is true he still went about it in the wrong way, but it could have been a lapse in judgment on his part. I hope that you are well.

Well, it has been a while since I have shared a picture... so I thought I would do one of those bathroom mirror ones like all the cool kids do. So now this is me being cool.

A store dick... how did that name come about. We do not use force in detaining a lifter. We only use words. Thanks for the words. I really enjoy my job, it is a heck of a lot of fun. I was totally shocked at how many people actually steal from stores.

So. I work in Retail Loss Prevention, it is an amazing job, and I love it. I have been doing for almost 5 months now. My biggest issue is my confidence. When I get a shoplifter and I go out to detain them I still shake quite a bit (though a lot less than my first one). My voice also cracks, and you can tell that I am nervous. This is my biggest obstacle and it could be my downfall. My boss's say that I am doing well, but I NEED to work on my confidence. I also have confidence issues when I am calling someone for 'private business' matters. My voice is shaky and I stumble with my words a bit. When I got my first lifter it was ridiculous. I got him into the office and I could hardly talk. I said things in the way wrong order. After we tell them that they are being detained for Retail Theft and that they can use the phone at any time, we are supposed to ask them if they have any more unpaid for merchandise on them and if they do then they should give it to us now because the officer will search them when they come. (We get the merchandise that we know they took when we stop them outside). I forgot to say this... but I did remember like 20 minutes into the whole thing... oops. When I asked the person for their ID and they took it out and handed it to me, it was crazy... My hand was shaking so bad. The guy probably thought I was a loser. It has definatly gotten better. It was getting better with each stop, things are now said in the correct order, and all that, but I am still nervous and a little shaky.. and that probably has something to do with the adrenaline, but I still need to relax more. I am the one in charge and running the show. It probably gives the lifter more confidence when I am visually nervous. I really need to try and boost my confidence. I think that it would make the stop go much more smoothly and it would probably make it more fun. I hope that every one is doing well, I am. Have a great evening!

It was a good Packer game, and it was good to see Romo go down again.

'Old Yeller' was my all time favorite movie when I was younger. I would beg my parents to rent it for me every weekend that we went up to the cabin.

Happy Birthday Sharon!!

Yeah, I text. So what?

Thank you to everyone that gave me advice in my last blog entry. I need some more please. Two days ago A and I were texting back and forth about the situation. At one point I texted her saying that she needs to tell him. He saw that text and asked what was going on. She told him that at her bachelorette party she gave oral sex to someone. Which was the truth, but not what I had really been talking about. I had not even known about that. Well, it devastated him. He is really torn and does not know what to do. He keeps coming to me and talking to me about it all, and asking me what I would do if I were in this situation. I am happy that he feels comfortable coming to me and that he still values our friendship. This whole thing sucks. He tells me that he loves her so much but he thinks that she may cheat again in the future,(which she is doing right now and failed to mention). So, I am not sure what to do. He says that if he finds out more or if she does it again he is gone without a doubt. She is not going to tell him about M, and their sexual encounter. If he found out about that I am fairly certain that he would leave her. I am angry. He has a right to know. She should have told him everything. Why tell the minor part of the whole thing? He has even been going to M (their mutual friend who she had sex with on Monday) and talking to him about her cheating and what he should do. (How can M do that?! Lie right to his face like that and comfort him when he is having an affair with his wife? It boggles my mind.) I still feel that it is not my place to tell him the rest, however I feel like I am betraying our friendship. He does not know all the facts, and he should not have to make a decision without all of them, and he is missing the biggest facts! And! I have to lie to his face when he comes to me! That hurts me a lot. It makes me dislike my self. It makes me feel like a coward, and it makes me feel like a horrible friend and person. I hate this!

Oh no! McDonald's is taking over! Find cover!

I do not know what to do. My best friends, A (she) and K (he) are married to each other, and they have a one year old daughter. I have been friends with her for 5 years and with him for about 2. They got married in August. I love all three of them very much. Last week A told me that she is in love with one of their mutual friends, M. She only loves K as a best friend now. He is totally in love with her, and he has no idea. Now, she keeps texting me and telling me how much she likes M. I feel so guilty. K does not deseve that and neither does the baby. This may make me sound weak, but I decided not to do anything about it, to not get involved. I think K deserves to know, but I am not sure that it is my place to tell him. But then I feel like a bad friend. A has not had sex or kissed M, she is, in her words, only cheating on K emotionally. Because that makes it so much better! However, tonight A texted me saying 'if anyone asks, I am at your house.' She is with M. This happened after she told me that we couldn't hang out tonight because they were going to a friends house to see her new kitten. I got ditched for a kitten. Or did I really get ditched so she could go see M? I DO NOT want her to use me so she can cheat on her husband, my friend. This pisses me of and it confuses me to no end! I really do not know what I should do? Do I tell him? I would want to know. But then I would probably loose her as a friend. Do I keep quiet? It probably is not my place to tell. But, when he does find out and if he finds out that I knew, I might loose him as a friend. Sounds like a no win to me. Advice? Edit to add: She had sex with him tonight...

So good to hear!

Tell me when, and where, and I'll be there!

I wish that you were my teacher.

The Packers! Go Aaron Rodgers!!

I guess it would be pretty cool to see how a 5,000 year old would do... so yeah for both.

I couldn't finish reading that article. Whoever wrote that needs to find a new job!
