Emma occasionally likes to pretend that she is asleep. She really thinks that she is fooling me. Unfortunately she doesnt realize that I can see that she has her eyes cracked open a little bit and is smiling. She holds completely still, pretending to be asleep! Little faker.
I had my first encounter with a shoplifter yesterday. I was working in a different section of the store since I picked up an open shift last night. I was walking around putting away clothes when I saw someone putting on a green sweater. She looked right at me while she was doing it and immediately walked away WITH HER BABY. She stole something in front of her kid! Who does that? I went back there to make sure that she had actually stolen something and sure enough there was an empty hanger and tags on the floor. Unfortunately she dissapeared before I could call security. My manager said not to worry about it since she stole something cheap off from the sale rack. It wasnt really worth our time. My manager told me about her first shoplifting experience back when she worked at a different store. A guy in a big coat stuck some shirts in his coat, smiled at her, and left the store. i dont understand why people do this right in front of employees, and then smile at them!
because everything is recyclable. If you dont want something all you have to do is put it on the garbage can and it will be gone by morning!
So now that I’ve got this job, after some saving, Mike and I will be able to afford to move into a bigger apartment. The one that we just looked at last week is HUGE and CHEAP. It is called a 2 bedroom, but it technically has 3. It also has a living room and a dining room (and bathroom and kitchen of course). It is seriously as big as the first floor of a small house. I am so freaking excited to move out in May. We werent allowed to take pictures since someone is in the process of moving out, but I will post some pictures once i get them. It is lead safe and everything. I am so excited since we will finally be able to have guests over since we will actually have room for them. Mike and I also love to cook, so having a larger kitchen is a definite plus. This move is going to be hard though since it is our 3rd move in the last year and we lead very busy lives.
Emma also hit the big 6 months on sunday. She had her shots today, which of course were not fun. The ped told us that she was doing great and they were very impressed by her health. I find it so interesting that although I had some problems during my pregnancy Emma turned out just fine. It feels great to have a healthy baby. Just one less thing for me to worry about.
I try to cook something new every single week. Beef stew is on the menue for this week. This is one of Mike’s favorite meals so I am proud to cook it for him. I mostly try to stick to cooking chicken since it is better than red meat. For the past few weeks I have been cooking a lot of chili for some reason. We have been eating it so fast. I think that it is a great meal to eat during the middle of winter. It just warms you right up. I also finally found a way of cooking that we both like. I like it spicy so I had to figure out how to do it in a way that Mike would like. I found it and now we can’t stop eating it. Any ideas on what we would like for dinner?
