Plunge Time Again

Well how time flies. Yesterday was our annual Polar Plunge here in Mexico Missouri. We had a mild day really with temps in the 40's. Good turn out of plungers and spectators.  Below are a couple of pictures of Crystal's Co-workers modeling their costumes. They are the Tractors of the Jackson Street Diner.

Great Costumes and I thought they were winners. 

Here is the video of the plungers.

Hope you enjoy the fun. 

Happy New Year!

Been a while since my last post as usual but wanted everyone to know I survived season. Getting back to a regular schedule again and happy about that. The winter has been mild and very happy about that. Rufus is happy as we have made trips to the park We went today but didn't take any pics. Here are some from a previous visit or 2. 

We have some geese pictures too. I have shared  all these at Google Plus but not here. I will be trying to check in weekly now that my schedule is normal again. I have 2 3 day weekends in February ahead. I am taking off for my Birthday and for the Polar Plunge, No I am not plunging but I will be videoing it for YouTube. It is our small towns 4th annual and I am ready lol. Oh yeah here is some geese and other shots. 

 Made Creamy Chicken Caesar pizza last night. I have been making my own using Jiffy Crust mix and my toppings. The First was a BBQ chicken with Sweet Baby Rays Sauce ,  red onion and Gouda cheese. We loved it so the next one was Tostada pizza and it was a hit too. Last nights was just as popular. May get some pizza pics next week. I am thinking tostada pizza for the Superbowl. I am seeing both a Philly steak pizza and Reuben pizza in my future too.  Have a Fantastic week Friends!! \_/

Time of the Season!

Well the Season is here at work. I start working 6 days a week this week. I will be off on Sundays for about the next 8 weeks. It's a fun time at work as we are busy all day.  I help with emails too now so I always have plenty to do it seems. We have lots of new people to meet and have fun with this time of year. Most start all nervous as they just had a week of cramming our policies and systems into their brains. They then find out that was just the sales part. There's another class that teaches you how to be a "customer service specialist" in a mere 4 hours lol. I wanted to make sure Rufus and I got a little woods time in on our 1 day off so we went to the park this morning and had a great time. It was very windy but not bad down by the creek. Most of our fall colors have fallen but still a nice blend. It's going to be a great season I am liking the way it is starting. Have fun and smile my friends! 

Busy Busy Brookstone

It has been one busy week at work so far. The time has been flying by as it's been one call after another and mostly sales calls. The later part is the good news lol. Last year at this time it wasn't anything like it has been the last 3 weeks. We just switch gift card companies and the transition was far from smooth which added to today's confusion. Hopefully that won't be a factor long. I talk to so many nice people and that makes it a great place to work for me.  

One bad thing today though. I did forget my P.C. Peepers for the first time since I bought then in July.

They are the best add on ever. No more sore neck from trying to use my bifocals. They are designed to slide in behind your lens on most glasses style. I really missed them and think I need a pair for here and there. I see purchase in my future and recommend them highly to those who sit in front of a monitor all day. I found mine at the Walmart vision center. 

Hope this finds my friends doing well and smiling. Have a good night. 

Season 3

Season 3 is Upon Us!

 Time really flies but yes my third season at Brookstone Is almost here. They have already started to hire new ones since the calls are already picking up. We have added much new stuff and the company is really trying to embrace the times with Brookstone.com, I am finding new things daily. It really gets crazy at season and I love it so lol, There is something about the rush and keeping control that I find enjoyable. The 20 hours of ot each week make me smile on paydays too. Been there 2 years almost and loving the job and my co workers are a great bunch. 

Rufus loves the ride 

 Even If you're just warming up the car Rufus wants to be there and hanging out the window. We went to the park yesterday like we usually do and no wildlife to speak of like last week. It was too dark to video but last week we saw 7 deer when we pulled in. This week We went a little later so we would have more light and we saw nothing of course. Rufus still had a good time and I enjoyed watching him run and mark every tree there. He really is a funny dog.

The tracks run through town. I wanted to share these for no other reason than I love trains!
