Its christmas time and everyone is shopping for the right gifts. I know the feeling I have tried finding the right gifts. I have some bought and picked out. While others are undeside. I have no clue what to get some people.
My mom I bought her things that the house need. I know se likes them because I told her what they where or she saw one and know the other. My sister got the same thing but they might not like it. I have one and they both like and say they want it but whos knows. They change there mind so much.
And then there is my dad witch is the hardest. He never says what he wants. He also never says if he likes what he got. This makes it really hard to get any gifts for him. I did get him gifts that he has no chose he has to like it. Im not returing them.
As christmas gets closer I need to get some more things. Some people I just dont know what to get them. They seem like they have everything they will ever need. What should I get them or just some random cute gift. I dont know but I guess that is something I have to do soon.

charlie
Charlie is the dog I have now. He is a 3 year old beagle. He is sassy and very moody. We got him on valentines day. It was a surprise from my dad (step-dad). On that day my dad said get in the car we are going to go get a dog. We drove out to the place and where looking at all the puppies. My dad told the guy he wanted a beagle and they took this little scared changing beagle out. He was a little older than the other dogs and so cute. We looked at all the other dogs and my dad almost got a lab in tell the lab bit his hand when he pet and that's when my dad said we will take the beagle. And he came home with us.
When we got home my little sister Aubrey wanted to see if he would stay in the yard like are other dog
Sulley. Needless to say my sister was running and then had to climb under our porch to get our new dog charlie. When we got him inside and he saw sully he instill was by his side. All he know was other dogs. Sulley was old and a little toy poodle (I know toy poodle and a rottweiler weird). He learned a lot from Sulley and sometimes thought Sulley was a chew toy. When Sulley died two months later Charlie looked for him for days. He could till we all where sad was extra good.
Once everything got normal again after Sulley died, Charlie started teething. He was chewing on everything. He got one of my shoes and one of Aubrey's shoes. He got two pairs of my moms glasses. He chewed on a few chairs and the dining room table. Now he has lots of bones and chew toys. He has stopped chewing everything but his toys.
He does have a new thing now. He can get out of almost everything. In the back yard he can get under the fence in two spots. When he gets out he runs in the road and everywhere. It takes forever to get him back inside. He can also get out of his cage if the bottom one is not latched. Then he gets into things when no one is home. He thinks its all a game and loves every second of it.
He also loves blankets. He thinks all of blankets and my bed is his. My mom lets him sleep in all day when I'm gone. He sleeps under the covers most of the time by the persons feet. If he is being really moody he takes the whole blanket and does not share with anybody. That's just a little bit about beagle there is not enough words to describe him.

Titen
Lately I have been thinking about one of my old dogs Titen. He has gotten me through a lot of hard times and just made the day better. He always listen to me when I talked to him and loved me know matter what.
He was a Rottweiler that my dad got me when I was 3. He lived a long happy life till he was 12 years old. He acted like a puppy till the day he died. He ran around and chased things in the yard. Titen even had arthritis in his front shoulder and some days he just lay there in pain. I always gave him aspirin in a spoonful of peanut butter. He loved the peanut butter and know if he was in pain he would get some.
When I was in 8th grade he moved into my mom's house with me when my dad movie somewhere where dogs where not allowed. It took him awhile to get used to living with my mom and step dad. My mom was afraid of him for awhile. He got use to it and everyone fell in love with him like I was. He had every one rapped around his big paws. He got bones, treats, and car rides with open windows so he could put his head out. He still came with me on week ends when I visited my dad but did not stay the night. My dog loved my dad but loved me the most.
When I would visits my dad. Titen would always stay by my side and sleep next to me. He would step in between me and any one who threaded me even if he know and liked that person. He loved kids even if kids where afraid of him because of his breed. He was nothing like what people think when think of the bread. He was one of the most kinda genital animal I have ever meet.

black friday
This year I had to work black Friday. It would be the first time I worked or even been awake. It was so different than anything I have ever done.
That night I pull up to walmart at 9:10pm for my 9:30 shift, it was the fullest I have ever seen. When I got into the store I could not walk down some of the ails. Their was people everywhere. Carts could not get through in a lot of place. I make it to the break room where there is a lot of people waiting for there shift to start. Every one is all worked up to start working. I'm in the first group starting and we try to make our way out to the front zig zaging through every thing. By 9:50 all lines are open.
The first sale started at 10pm and it was crazy. Before 10 there was no one checking out. Once 10 came there was lines and people yelling. When the towel crate was cut there was screaming and shouting. A little bit later a customer told me that people where getting stepped on there. All I could thing was its just towels people. Then there was some things going on sale while there was some on the store shelf's and the ones on the shelf where not on sale and people where taking them wanting for the sale price. Around 11:30 no one want to check out everybody is waiting for the 12pm sale.
Its 11:59 and crates are being cut. All I can hear is screaming and I'm on the other end of the store. All I can thing is great people are crazy. All the lines are busy and people are extra cranky or drunk. Then to make things worse the serve for gift cards for everywhere goes down, letting people buy them and then saying that walmart owns the money for the gift cards to the person and to take the gift cards back. Some one in my lane start yelling because no one can figure out how to fix it. She gets her way and leaves. By 1am almost everyone has left the store.
I to to meal. There is a lot of people in the break room. Some are regular 3rd shifters but most are not. Some one was giving out 5 hours energy and I decide to take one. I started to jumping off the wall and I'm getting over tiered and everything is really funny. All the other 1st and 2nd shifters are on energy drinks and over tired too. I'm pretty sure that the 3rd shifters are all scared of us now.
When I come back from meal there is no people greets and lucky me I get to be one. I'm walking in circles because of the 5 energy. I get to talk to people for more than a few minutes and don't have to bag or any thing.
In the end I had fun. Even if there was crabby people there. I did shop when I got done at 6am. I ended up staying awake till noon and only getting 4 hours out sleep. I could not sleep because the sun was up and I should of been awake.

how old is too old to bring mommy into things?
I don't have a car and me and my friend wanted to go a birthday party, so her mom let me drive her car. I was running a little late from a different friends house and her mom had to wait 12 min. for me. I said sorry and told her what happened. She was it was fine people run late and then went on to say that her daughter could be late for 12 days because I was 12 min. late.
I drive her daughter to school 3 days a week. There house is out of way and don't ask for gas money because her mom gave me rides to dog training and then I lived 2 blocks away now its more than a mile. Then she would say leaving and I would wait any where from 15 min to over an hour for a 2 min drive outside. Her daughter is almost never waiting for me. I have to send a text message and wait for her to get and then walk outside. Witch takes a few min. Her mom went on to say that you yell at her daughter for being late. I went on to say I have told her 2 times to be ready and waiting. The first time I was a few min late and said will you where late and I told her I have wait for over an hour outside for you once so a few min really.
Her mom went on to make it sound like I yell at her ever time. I have been coming on time for about about the last 2 months. 1 or 2 time I got stop as was leaving by dad because I drive his car. But I think if she had a problem she should of said something to me and not have her mom. What we are 19 now and going to be leaving the home on are own in less than a year and she had to have her mom yell at me. I was like really are we 12 again.
This is not her mom has stepped in on something. Her mom has also tried to tell me who I could be friends with because her daughter did not tell all of story to her mom making someone look like a really jerk. When it was a little mean but in her best interest. And she blew the story wait out than what it is and added things. Making seem like she was this little sweet thing getting picked on. I was likes not the whole story and my friends are my friends. She does not have to be friends with them.
She has never said one word to me about anything. I just want to know how old is too old to have mommy getting into things. I don't have my mom step in when I have problems with people, I may tell my mom about them just to tell some one but my mom has not stepped in years. Not saying anything to my friends.

movie remakes
Every movie has a theme. Now a days it seems that so everything has been and ever movie is been there done that. I have seen a few movies that are new in ideas. As I watch more movies I see the same thing over and over again.
Tonight me and a friend decide to watch Monte Carlo. It was a good movie just a lot like Lizzie McGuire movie. Where she lives the life of a social light. There where lots of different in the movie but the main concept was the same.
Lots of movies now are remakes of old movies like, charlies angle, yours mine and ours, and cheaper by the dozen. I was on netflix looking for a movie to watch and I found cheaper by the dozen and my mom just freaked out and had to watch it. I ended up having to leave and did not get a chance to see it. My mom said she loved it.
Today it just seems to me that movies are remakes of old movies. They are good remakes sometimes and they have modern day twist on it. That makes the movie different and better. But I do love all movie because i don't like to judge movies that I don't like because other people love it.

cupcakes
To day was just a bad day. I came into work 7 hours late because I wrote down the wrong time for when I have to be at work. They where very nice and let me stay the time i thought I had to work. In the end i cut my own hours by 2 and can not be late ever again. After that was all worked out I started checking people out.
Everything was fine and I was checking people out and it was good day no people. I was talking and joking with people. Me and this lady where talking about random useless stuff like with everybody I talk to. I put her cupcake in her bag and I thought i had them in straight and the no frosting anywhere but the cupcake. She grabs here bag and puts it in her cart and I am giving her change when she goes great and I look her cupcakes are tilted with some of the frosting touching the container. Being nice I ask if they are tilted and she is like yes and freaking out. I tell her she can go and get new ones and I will take the cupcakes. You know its not the end of the world. She stops of the whole 10 feet and gets new ones and then almost forgets her pizza. Then when I was moving the cupcake out of my way I drop them but they stay closed in the container. My supervise was like what ever and took the cupcake in back so they can do what ever they do with them.
Why does it really matter if the cupcakes are tilted and touching the side or a little frosting gets moved? Your just going to eat them and then there will be no frosting. What is the problem. I don't see why they have to be perfect. This lady was acting like the world was going to end. She was just making my day worse than what it was.
As the day went on some nice customers just made my day 100 time better joking with me and making me smile. I don't think people see that can just ruin a persons day with words. Like the cupcake lady. Who was just making my dad worse than it already was.
