i only post on monday

so apparently i only post on monday anymore.

last week just kept getting busier as the week went on. i was scheduled for mostly nights at retail job which ment that i could sub during the day. so i ended up working tuesday day, wednesday night, subbing thursday, subbing friday and working saturday night and sunday night and subbing monday. plus volunteering thursday and friday night. so the later part of the week was crazy! good crazy but a oops erin didn't really sit at the computer week.

so in reality not a really exciting week. at retail i was put on registers all week, which i enjoyed. i'm pretty good at it and i picked up quick so i have a feeling i'll be there a lot. and doing shipments on tues/thurs mornings. so if i could get a great schedule going of sub mon/wed/fri and retail tues/thurs am and one-two nights i'd be a happy camper.

i volunteered two nights last week for house tours. so that was a fun thursda/friday night. i was in the cutest garden thursday night in a gorgeous house that was quite livable as the family had 4 small children. and then friday night i was in the complete opposite. i was in the "living room" of a super flamboyant gay male that seriously was a museum. i mean who owns a greek urn from 2000BC (yes - BC) or a horse statue from the tang dynasty of china (618-900) or a cezanne, picasso, rembrant... charleston magazine did a piece on the house - check it out! i didn't get to go upstairs but the downstairs was worth it. so i had fun pointing out fun pieces in the living room to people friday night, and many remembered me from the garden thursday night, so that made it more fun.

after work saturday night i met amy, pam, julia and some other friends downtown for drinks where i ended up drinking quite heavily in the 1.5 hours i was out to get caught up. but we had a fun night playing quarters and laughing. sunday morning met up with julia for brunch. we went to the tattooed moose which was delish. we ended up getting lunch but my grilled cheese and duck fat fries were fab! and then we went to the charleston library's book sale where i ended up with 10 new books for $11!

and today i subbed the classes from hell. more on that to come. buuuuut my twin got engaged today! eeeeeee! sooo happy for her & andy! when she called me this afternoon i could tell as soon as she said hello so i started yaying and jumping up and down.

so hopefully i'll post a bit more this week!

you're super busy! these house tours seem really awesome! (except maybe that some of the people seem really weird...)

Amanda said...

Sounds like you are keeping yourself busy!

Do you have to give tours of the houses and know lots of info about them or do you just lead people through them?

Also I LOVED being on register when I worked retail. It was so much more fun than all of the other jobs!
