All in a days work.

Slow and Steady wins the race.  That is how this week went.  Nothing too horrible, busy, just the daily, one foot in front of the other.  No 4a.m. workouts since we managed to have highs ranging from 45-66 this week.  AMAZING.  Therefore I was outside running in the afternoon.  I know that will all change in the week to come since the weather men have snow in the forecast for Sunday and Monday.  (Dear Lord, please let these men be awfully wrong at their job, just this once!) 

I did manage to get some hours in at the new job, the bridal store.  I helped my first bride on Friday, so much fun, and managed to sell around 3-4 dresses on Saturday.  Which is huge since we get bonus' for what we sell.  I loved working for commission!!! 

This dress will probably haunt my dreams.  However, something so beautiful can haunt all it wants. 

 I managed to sell this dress twice in one hour.  One for an order and one off the rack.  Timing is everything.    We had 4 fathers in the store today all for prom girls, none for wedding.  This usually doesn't happen.  One girl that decided on this dress had her father with her.  Just her and her dad.  She tried on three dresses.  Fell in love with this one first.  Dad was cracking jokes the whole time.  "This dress is worth $20 extra if she doesn't try on another dress"  Truly a joke because he loved seeing his daughter looking beautiful and lighting up from trying on beautiful dresses.  When we were discussing ringing up the dress and possible alterations the daughter exclaims, "I just got huge butterflies"  Yup, its the dress and that's my job!       I also managed to sell a beautiful dress to an individual who is partially limited to mobility with a wheelchair and partially with braces and crutches.  The dress fit perfectly and she loved it.  It looked like a tough sale when they walked in, color limits, price limits, length limit, off the rack, but I managed to fulfill all requirements and make one more family happy.  Have I mentioned I really like this new hobby job.  (ps I also created a word document today for future wedding plans, crazy...no no no, prepared.  What can I say I'm a dreamer.)

After work the to-do list started with cleaning and getting things back in order at home.  My house is now clean, almost, the kitchen anyways.  Groceries were bought, the fridge was empty, seriously, empty!  I realized I like an empty fridge, knowing that no food is going to waste and you can see all your options at a glance, with only five objects it pretty easy to see options. 

Tomorrows agenda, clean, cook, run.  A great way to end the weekend.  Stay tuned for some new recipes and a special post later in the week!  Happy Saturday night, now back to Netflix!
