5/15/2009 PAYDAY!!!

so today was payday and i got a raise, before my first pay check! it feels so nice! it feels good to have a nice check in my hand! i can't wait to deposit it and pay tithing for the first time in a long time.
i did a lot of balloons today. one bouquet had 17 latex balloons and 1 mylar. another had 4 latex, 1 mylar, another had 1 mylar...anyway...you get the point.
there was a little girls' dance recital tonight and we had a lot of wraps to do for parents to give to the children. it was cute and sweet to think that the little girls would get a flower or two.
funny story: so i took an order for a plant to be sent to a funeral. i got the lady's phone number and she had an account with us and it came up under her husband's name. p.s. she was older. i asked her who the service was for and she said "kathleen gold" at eckersells in rigby. i finished her order and got what she wanted on the card. all the names were like nicknames or something. gaye says that for funerals we always call and ask the funeral home when the service actually is. gaye called eckersells and asked when "kathleen gold"'s funeral was. and they didn't have anyone under that name. gaye called another funeral home and they didn't have her either. so gaye calls the lady back and says, "i just called eckersells and they don't have a kathleen gold. is there another place it might be at?" the lady was like "WHAT!?" gaye says, "eckersells doesn't have kathleen's body. we don't know where it is!" the lady goes, "I'M KATHLEEN GOLD!! I'M NOT DEAD!" kinda hysterically. gaye: "i'm glad you're not. i'm so sorry. i'm going to kill the girl that took your order though!" gaye got the real name and it was virgil rutledge. she didn't even say that name at all during our conversation! anyway...it was funny and embarassing and just crazy! haha
another embarassing thing happened at work today. i was blowing up all those balloons and one of them popped. and if you know me, i get scared so easily and i make a big scene by screaming and shaking my hands. and that's just what i did when it popped! i screamed and shook my hands back and forth fast in front of my face! hahah gaye thought i was a weirdo!
anyway...today was a good day.
