it has been a crazy couple of days since i left home for the staff meeting. alyssa and i hung around after the meeting to talk to ben about him passing his test to get into the pga pro program (a big deal) and to plan our celebration for him later that night after he got off work. after a few hours (bob took ben to old chicago and met jeff there), ben and jeff met alyssa and i and we headed to the store and then to jeff's house. alyssa finally left at 1:30ish after getting lost on the way out of the neighborhood. both ben and i had to open thursday morning, but stayed at jeff's until around 3:30am. i was supposed to be in at 5 and ben at 6. i got home at 3:50-something, set my alarm for 4:30, and passed out. i work up at 5:22, realized i was late and had slept through my alarm, jumped out of bed, threw on my uniform, and sped off to work. i was a little late (but still technically on time) and still incapacitated, but we got through ladies' guest day just fine. after work, i went home and fell asleep on the couch sort of watching that 70's show whenever i woke up for a little bit from 2-9pm. i got off the couch, found some food, talked to a few people, read some, and went to bed because i had to open again yesterday.

friday was a hectic day in general. it was slow all morning, so i detailed some carts (for pine daze next week) instead of just sitting around. and steven and i sort of cleaned up the bag room some more. the morning was fine. it didn't get hectic until the closers were supposed to show up. joey had his second no call, no show in a row and thus is now not employed by pinehurst anymore, but he doesn't know yet because i only got to talk to ben long enough for him to tell me to take joey off the schedule. i couldn't find anyone to come in until 4, so i ended up staying until close to 3:30 because of all the things that had to get done to get the couples' twilite shotgun off. i finally left work and came home. not five minutes after i got here did my mom call to tell me i needed to do a bunch of things for her before she got home with sandy and jeremy (family from west virginia that my parents are now in yellowstone with). i also had to do all this before i had to leave to go pick up andrew and grace. at 4:30, i left to go pick them up and came back home. i stayed with them here until jay got home from work, then i changed and headed back to pinehurst to play golf with jack and paul. jack played seven holes and paul and i played eight before it got too dark to see the ball. we waited for the closers to finish, which took way too long, and then we headed to the liquor store with jack. paul and i then went to wendy's, his house so he could change, king soopers for cranberry juice, back to pinehurst to get my car, my brother's house to switch the camry for his bug, and finally to my house. we put our stuff in the fridge and started watching speed. i, of course, fell asleep something like half an hour into the movie. oops. paul woke me up before he left at 12:30 since he had to open this morning.

jay woke me up this morning at 8 because he was leaving for work and andrew and grace were upstais eating breakfast. after a small crisis with car keys, i was able to sit down and eat breakfast. i put a movie in for the kids and got in the shower. now, i am waiting to buy dave tickets online because the warehouse screwed me over. blegh. don't get me started. after i order the tickets [knock on wood], i'm taking andrew and grace back home. then i can relax for a few minutes once i get back here before i have to be at work at 1. i'm going to be in trouble this next pay period because of my 10 hour day yesterday that will most likely put me into overtime. oh well. i don't know what i'm supposed to do about it. stupid pinehurst crap.

now i must buy my tickets.
