Top Ten Thursday

I am participating in Top Ten Thursday from Domestically Challenged's blog.
I hope I am doing this right...I am a newbie at this!
Okay - so the topic is Top Ten Jobs we are glad we do not have (most of these I or someone I know at one time did this job and it is through experience that I would never want to do it again or AT ALL!!!!!)
LOL

10. McDonalds Cashier - used to do this in high school and was let go when my manager said that my drawer was $20 short (meanwhile she was supposed only count it in out presence and I was not there when she "took" the twenty dollars out and pocketed it) - still have a little resentment there LOL!

9. Waitress/Waiter - the most overworked and underappreciated job on the planet - did this one all through college and now I am the world's greatest tipper!!!!!!!!

8. Administrative Assistant - another underappreciated job but at least Admins get National Administrative Assistant day where you can score some pretty nice gifts depending on who you work for!!

7. Podiatrist - I HATE feet!!!!

6. Pedicurist - Again, I HATE feet!!!!

5. Customer Service/Computer Helpdesk (used to do this one) - poor poor people that do this work are constantly bombarded by angry and unhappy people - no sunshine for these employees!!

4. Garbage Collector- I would spend waaaaaaaaaay too much time trying to rescue the racoons (and other rodents) that were trapped in the dumpsters before dumping them into the crushing truck and we would never be able to get the dumpsters emptied in a timely fashion!!!

3. Salesperson - Hate the approach of shady salespeople and pushy salespeople - not a fan of salespeople in general (with the exception of my borther-in-law).

2. Fundraiser - I helped a friend doing this a few months ago and even though it is for a good cause, I still hated how it made me feel like I was begging or getting something for nothing.

1. Roofer - They never work...here in PA they work like one day a week (it is either too rainy, too cold, too dry, too hot, too humid, to much frost, etc). I am venting as this is hubby's current employer!

Happy Thursday

Well, back to work after my vacation day yesterday.
It was soooo nice to stay in bed late on a rainy and icky Wednesday!! The weather cleared up a little in the afternoon and we ran to Trax Farms to get a few things and check out the Halloween stuff!!! FUN FUN FUN!!!!
Waliacha got a new TV from a friend...it is HUGE!!! They were getting rid of it and getting a flat screen so it is now ours. I think we will be the last people in America to get a flat screen - okay by me LOL!!!
A little pancake recipe update - they are awesome and good for you however, when I made them the second time, I cut the spices back...in the recipe it says 1 tsp of each and I think 1/4 or 1/2 works much better...I like spicy but that was a little overpowering for me....I love them with less spices though!!!!

Annnnd to top it all off - today is date night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! I will be chilin' with my baby at home tonight as this weekend we will be heading to the Penn State Game to hang out in the corporate box with my family!! yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

weekend update...

Just a quick update from the weekend...
We had the Matthew Brown memorial 5K walk/run this weekend. It was soooo much fun but I forgot my camera...sorry.
They had a chinese auction there and we won...
1. a basket with stuffed animals and two passes to the animal kingdom safari (fun fun)
2. a grocery store gift cert for $25
3. gift cert for 6 months of karate lessons free
Lately, we have been really lucky with raffles, etc. Not sure what that is about but I know Waliacha plays the lottery and he hasn't won that yet - as far as I know!! LOL
I promise pics of SOMETHING tomorrow.
I took a vacation day tomorrow just to chill so I will have to do all kinds of fun stuff and get pics!
Anyone looking for a new recipe for healthy pancakes should try these - I made them this am and they are awesome!!!!! She has quite the entertaining site also...:-)

Physical & Heart Pain

Well, we are praying for peace and grace here in PA.

Waliacha has a little physical pain as he had a cracked molar that he had drilled and pulled yesterday...has a little puffy cheek and head pain...could definitely have been worse. He is a BRAVE man - and I love my little peanut!!!!! Feel better soon!!!!!!!

We both have a little heart pain as we are missing Marg greatly already. I cannot imagine how her family is struggling right now as we are her friends and are definitely feeling the loss and void greatly! We went to the viewing last night and her husband is soo strong and has a lot of family of friends to support him through this which is good - she is soooo loved and missed!

Well, everyone have a great Thursday and it is almost TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace and grace to you all!
