Good bye Pepper

Pepper went to live with her new family today. She's been gone for less than an hour and I'm already finding it strange not having her underfoot. I am sure though that she will be so happy with all the love and attention she will get.
Next on the list is getting this house ready to sell....did you know it takes more than 4 coats to paint a wall red?? What was I thinking? I am hoping to blitz the house in the next few days and get it done and ready!
So....since blogging worked to get rid of the dog......if anyone is looking for a 2bdr + bonus room rancher with shop & spacious backyard with fruit trees in Hatzic.....just let me know!

while pulling into Magicuts yesterday onour way to get Andrew's hair cut, the car in front of me pulled over. It wasn't clear if he was attempting to back in, our if he was just moving out of our way, or just what his plan was. I must have muttered under my breath, "Come on buddy" because from out of the back seat came "Come on buddy, my hair's growing here".

those darn hamsters

So the time has come to put the house up for sale.....and I've done it again. There are half-painted rooms everywhere, you would think I would have learned from the last time that I should finish one projects before starting another. (I think I get this from my Dad). My spare time will now be taken up with painting, cleaning and ..... checking out apartments.
I hate selling, it's so much work and I am going to have to seriously get rid of clutter. I am a terrible packrat, my closets are overflowing with stuff I don't use and there are 4 boxes in the shop I still haven't unpacked from last years move! Can you say "Garage Sale!"
And then there is Pepper, poor, sweet, misunderstood Pepper. The shitzu is going to have to find a new family...
Change is good I suppose....fresh start? Whatever it is, it is happening so we are going to make an adventure out of it..... Me, Andrew and the hamster I promised him.

So I am in training for PTL - photo team leader. My boss has decided that if he takes a vacation or gets transfered, I should be the one to take over. Not a bad deal. Although I'm having a hard time taking in all the information, I work an 8hr shift with him and he talks the whole time...I have learned that I tune out after about 5hrs. I think I need one of those tiny portable tape recorders so I don't miss anything important.
I have also learned that I can only be nice to customers for 5hrs after that I start to really not care and the fake smile comes out - don't catch me at the end of an 8hr day, it may not be pretty.
