Carol's corner

Well I've done four complete training shifts...and I still love it!!!! I've settled myself into the role as wiper and swiper...lol!!! I also rock the brewed coffee stand like nobody else! I did a couple Cap's and Latte's yesterday. I need to get over my fear of the milk foaming out over the lip and scalding me. I've been told more than once that it's not that hot and would probably only tan me sooooooo..........weeeeeeeeeeee!!! I've decided that I was honestly made for this job. Oh yah, I'm not a Starbucks Employee.....I'm a PARTNER! How cool is that? We are all considered partners cause you have the option to have "Bean Stock" purchases taken from your pay every week. LOVE IT! I totally laughed out loud when I heard Bean Stock. I love my work and have a renewed love for my kids. I love them all to death, but being away from them for a few hours every day, well, lets just say that when I come home I'm happy to be "just...

I hung with some friends from SCS the other day up at Bellaland. OMG it was so much fun! I got to hang with some of the ROCKSTARS in the Stamping world. JanTink...HELLO??? THE JAN TINK!!!!!! OMG! And you know what? She was awesome and sweet and so down to earth! I poked her arm so maybe some of the talent will travel up my finger into the rest of me. Linda, Laura, Mary, Paula, Pauline and of course Emily and Nicky.....wayyyyyyyyyyy fun! Wanna see some shots? I didn't get many cause like I said I was having too much fun......lol! I was so inspired that I came home and started colouring some images and it came out NOTHING like theirs.......soooooooooooooooooooooo I have some more practicing to do...LOL!!! Don't forget I start STARBUCKS on MONDAY!!! Can you tell I'm a little excited? No? Well just wait till after my first day and I've been sucking back all those wonderful espresso drinks all day long.....lol!! Till then!

Finally!!!! I start work on Monday the 25th of August. Yup, me, working again, OUTSIDE the house and getting paid for it! Starbucks finally realized that I'm the missing link in their chain and hired me! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Now if you know me at all you know I'm a coffee freak and a Starbucks hound so it's like the mothership calling me home.... I've also been moving stuff down into the basement even though it's still very wet down there most of the time. At this point, I can't keep going on with things the way they are so poopoo to the mushrooms and the lake that forms in the front room when it rains (which is practically every dang day) I've been down there daily doing laundry and have managed to get into my space and play with my stuff. Nothing that I'm willing to share, but it is nice to get to put ink to rubber then to paper again. Thanks for crossing fingers, eyes, toes or whatever it was that was crossed to make at least one of my hope...
