And they are tasty too!

I forgot to mention that I was on the news again the other day! I can't help it if I am a movie star myself! They were actually doing a story on the Woodmen Road expansion (that is the road WnW is on) and they interviewed my boss because he is still arguing with the city over trees (long story). So, they came to the store and filmed me doing work. Not sure how I fit in this picture, but here I am. So, they (the news people) say to me: well, pretend that we are not here and just do what you would normally do. Gee, does making phone calls and doing boring managerial stuff make for good TV? I didn't think it did. So, they filmed me (with a microphone on no less) filling the biscuit bins on our biscuit bar. And of course I thought, well they shouldn't use anything I say in the news piece, so when the camera man was 1 foot from me, filming, I said, would you like to taste them, they are tasty too! Wouldn't you know they showed me on the news saying “they are tasty too!” Well, hey, if it brings more customers into the store, yea!

So then, a few mornings later, I was stopping at a local coffee shop that I stop at every now and again for my little coffee fix. The guy behind the counter blurts out “hey! A local celebrity!” The girl behind the counter looks up and says “where?!” looking for Tom Cruise or Dr. Phil. The coffee guy said “her, at the counter! She was on the news the other day”. To which coffee girl replies “oh” and goes back to toasting her bagel. Apparently she wasn't too impressed.

Other than that, things are the same. Hubby is in his last week of work. He is so excited about starting his new job!

Maggie started her training and Bristol starts tomorrow night! I am looking forward to it!

Well, it's late and I have to put the pack out one more time before bed....
