It's the little pleasures in life that make you smile the longest

Thumbs up to my Mother-in-law. I am my Father's daughter ... I love me some popcorn. Orville Redenbacher's Natural Buttery Salt & Cracked Pepper being my favorite (besides caramel corn, duh). Well like everything it seems you get to liking something and then you can't find it. I have tried making my version but no luck. Well, for Christmas my Mother-in-law gave me a Micro Magic Popcorn Maker ... Awesome! I put some Amish Country Buttery Popcorn Topping in the base, added 1/4 cup purple Amish Country Popcorn, was heavy handed with the coarse ground black pepper shaker. Stirred it with my finger. Clipped the bowl on it and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Flippin fantastic. Better than the store bought stuff! Home run, Alma!

A month of changes

New boss, new schedule, new job criteria, new diet, new attitude ... New me! We will see how that works out. For the best I am hoping, anticipating, counting on!

School is out June 6th, at least that is my last day. Mountain motorcycle vacations starts July 4th. I am excited. I am also trying to figure out what I would like to do with the rest of my summer. Travel, self improvement, home improvement, veg out, work out... Time will tell.

New boss started Monday I couldn't get to sleep Sunday night. Wondering I guess. I like change but maybe I don't enjoy change. Last night I was tired went right to sleep. Woke up around two and tossed the rest of the night. Very unusual for me. Once I am a sleep I sleep. This morning I start work earlier for the month of May, it will be my duties to open and get everything rolling, then do breakfast, then do a couple more assignments my co-worker and I have been assigned. On top of that our new boss is a hands on person meaning we are the paperwork peeps. Which would be ok if we had been trained to do this.

We started yesterday with inventory, have a system, a bloody mess from the old boss and two very confused assistant managers ... Us.

Let the fun begin. Oh, yeah and there will be no bing eating just because you are already a month behind in your normal paperwork, through no fault of your own, and the end of the month is gone!
