Coworker spotlight

Jane doesn’t miss a thing. She is from East Africa and her family had to flee from conflict and long story short, ended up in America. She works for us at the market and is wonderful. We’ve become fast friends. It helps that we are a part of the same church, like to laugh, and I am full of questions to which Jane has all the answers. Today I had to leave the market a little early and Jane and I were sad to part sooner than usual. We’ve begun carpooling and have got closing down to a science. We like our routine and it is sad when we have to “Make it work.”

So that’s all the nice, we’re friends stuff. The other stuff is that Jane thinks I am crazy. It may be because I tell her she wins employee of the day every day. Or it maybe because one day I told her that I needed a bunk-bed under the counter and demonstrated how nice it would be to nap under there. It think what really confirmed it for her was the time she caught me dancing in the market while I was drinking milk. All I can say in my defense was that I was happy, I liked the song and the milk was delicious, so why not dance? Jane walked in and burst out laughing, “You are dancing and drinking milk!? You crazy!”

So today began our weekend. We cheered up when we realized we would see each other at church on Sunday. I taught her how to hand hug, which she thought was silly and I laughed as I walked to my car. How fun work is! I know it is because of the people. We have a little too much fun “working.” The atmosphere there is just so fun and exciting, my kind of exciting.

Milk Drunk and Happy

Right now I have a lot of potential post in my head and it is funny what I have decided to post on here.

At this moment I am full.  Like I am so full!  And it is because I am in love with milk!  Ok so I told you I am working at the Urban Farms Market and we have a lot of great things there that are freakin delicious.  One of those things is Rock Springs Dairy milk.  At first I was mostly just excited because of the chocolate and strawberry milk, but then I got to bring home a quart of their whole milk.  YUMMY!  It was so good I almost drank the whole things that night.  I didn’t finish it, but did drink it up until I got pretty full.  Same thing happened tonight.  I drank milk until I couldn’t anymore cause it was so tasty.

Well that is sorta the inspiration for what I really wanted to write about.  Let’s just wander down my train of thought for a moment.  It went something like this…

Yummy, I love milk.  I wonder why I never liked milk this much before.  Oh!  I should set my mug of milk on my new coasters!  I love these coasters, I can’t wait to put them on my coffee table.  Oh coasters and my coffee table book!  Coffee tables, I can’t wait to move into my house so I can use my coffee tables!  House!  I can’t wait to invite people over!…

Them I started to laugh!  Today at church we were talking about spiritual gifts and how we as a body can encourage one another in our gifts and passions.  At lunch after we were all talking about it and Rachel and Lacey just laughed about how enthusiastic I can get about things.  It’s true, I can get pretty excited.  It wasn’t until I was drinking milk this evening that I really saw how my enthusiasm is really a huge part of me.  I think that is why I love Sue from SNL so much, I can relate.  I don’t jump out of windows to release that excitement, but I have felt the urge.  Most of the time I can contain it to a squeal.  Most of the time.

It is fun to be at this place where I have things to look forward to and prepare for.  A work to give myself to.  And a little excitement sprinkled over it all.  Now Im getting ready for bed content and giggly. May need to cool it on the milk in the future.
