Wheel of the World

By Carrie Underwood
Love goes out, out like a light
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world
I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering whyI'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around

Everyday

Emotions run high this time of year. The 2 year mark is coming up. Last year I stayed home and drowned in my grief. This year it will be just as hard as it has always been. This year I decided to work. I don't want this day to take me over, this day is not any harder than the others. I miss her EVERYday, I feel the void in my life EVERYday. Hopefully by going to work it will get my mind onto other things.

Get Credit!!!

Getting customers to apply for our credit card is a very important part of my job. Let me just tell you that it is harder than it sounds. It has been a big learning process for me, learning how to sell credit. As an employee you are required to get at least one credit per shift, that means 5 a week for me. The new Full Time Key Holder, Rachel has played a huge part in me improving my credit results. She taught me what to say and encouraged me. Unlike the boss who constantly dogged us out if we weren't getting any credit. Well obviously encouragement works better than discouragement. For the month of September I only got 5 out of the 25 credits I needed. For the month of October I got 30 out of the 25 credits I needed!!! OH YEAH!!!

Bye Bye Brown Hair

I am no longer a brunette. I am going through a coloring process to go back to my natural hair color. Its a slow process, but it will be worth it in the end. I go back in 8 weeks to finish.

From Princess to Queen

I have evolved. Yesterday, being Halloween and all, the girls and I at the store dressed up. I started out with the whole princess thing, but it turned into a queen thing. I know what you are thinking MJ, Brenda no longer a princess? Has the world gone mad?!?! No, it hasn't gone mad, I have just been promoted, that's all. I wore my senior high school prom dress (which, by the way, fits me better now than it did then! How many women can say they are smaller now than when they were in high school? ) a crown I got at Disney years ago and an array of my sparkiest brooches. The girls at work loved it and got what I was going for. It was alot of fun dressing up. But I must say, when I was getting ready for work today, it wasn't as much fun without the tiara. Just felt like my outfit was missing something.
