Would you like to sample some Bailey's Irish cream or some Crown Royal Special Reserve today?

That was a question I asked a lot of people today. I was the Nick's Liquors sample lady today! :) That was a fun job. It took me slightly away from the pressure of the New Year's Eve customers. I was at the counter, and I got to harass the customers when they came up with their purchases. I initially started with Bailey's original and Bailey's caramel, Crown Royal Special Reserve, and El Jimador tequila with margarita mix. The Crown Royal was a big hit, and it soon ran out. The El Jimador and the Bailey's caramel were the next to go. The rest were pretty good, but I still had them when Erin let me go home.

I left work and went to go find a Wii Fit. Unfortunately because I want to just use my Christmas money, I want to get it at Walmart and use my Walmart gift card. I might have to go everyday to check if it's available, or I might look online at the site to store thingy. However, I hope to get it soon.

Going back to my post yesterday about possibly blogging about the Babysitter Club books, I have decided to do that. I hope to start tomorrow with #1 Kristy's Great Idea. I hope to do one or two books a week to get done this year or next year.

Can't think of a title

Hello. Sorry it's been a month since I have written. I have been a little busy. This is a busy couple of weeks at work with the holiday season. Luckily after this week, it should slow down a bit. All this week, I have been scheduled 9 to whatever my boss decides to send me home. Monday it was three and today it was five fifteen. Not sure what it will be tomorrow. My guess is it will be sometime around five. Right now I have no pans fir New Years. Melissa is working until 9, and KT is in Kentucky. I don't remember the last time I was not with Melissa and KT for New years eve. Last year I was lucky and was with Melissa, KT and Doug. I have the day off on New Year's Day because the liquor store has inventory on that day. I thought I might have to work that day, but I was not. I was invited to Nick and Lindsey's new house on New Year's Day afternoon. I have not been there yet, so I am excited to finally go.

Awhile back, KT, Melissa and I went to see the movie New Moon and one of the previews I saw was for a movie called Dear John. The preview said it was based on a book by Nicholas Sparks, and I was interested in the movie, so I decided to read the book. It is about a man who is a soldier on leave, and he meets a girl who changes his life. The book is in the man's perspective, but the movie seems to be in the girl's perspective. I thought it was a little slow at first as they are meeting and falling in love. This book is only 277 pages, and he finally goes back to war after page 100.
I have been interested to read and reread all the Babysitter club books. I grew up loving these books, and there are several I have not read. I came across a blog just like this one where a girl about my age rereads the Babysitter Club books and comments on them. They seem to be kind of negatively commented, where the babysitters are babyish and kind of jerks, but the way she words it is extremely funny. I have thought of creating my own blog on this subject, except, I would go in order from 1 to 131 or something. Maybe something to think about.
