"Oh... No..."

I quote just how Phoebe Buffay from Friends says it!

Yesterday I get to work (AE) and there is a note on the board

"There was a change in the schedule, double check to see if you were written in for any shifts"

Im thinking oh great now what, so i take a look and ok next week i was written in to work Thursday, and then the next Monday i was also written in and i accept this fact. Then a few seconds pass... wait! MONDAY? JUNE 28th? ... Oh NO! that is my birthday.

I proceeded to explain to my supervisor that the only reason i asked for Mondays and Tuesdays off during this schedule is so I may have June 28th off. I told her that she could have written in me in any other day that week and to please let me have it off. It is not a morning shift, if it was i would work it because then i will be off and get to go to dinner and such to celebrate, but no the shift starts at 6pm and ends at 1030pm. =(

I then frantically text and left notes for people to see if they can cover my shift for me so i can celebrate. I love my birthday, and i am really hoping that i do not have to work!! GRR!!!

Just thought i would share my frustration with you all!!

until next time....

Mix together the egg, sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add the flour mixture and when blended add the milk, vanilla and mashed bananas and mix until combined. Fold in 1/2c chopped walnuts and pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Top the batter with remaining 1/3c walnuts. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10minutes on a wire rack before removing from pan.

I'm Online

Hello All!

We have the internet back, and what you ask have the Butlers been up to?

Well.... lets see, in March we flew down to surprise my sister for her Birthday! Some time inbetween then and now, I started working inside at the Airport, working at the ticket counter and at the Gate, letting people on and off the plane. It has been an interesting change, interesting to see how clueless some people are when they are traveling just one question... how do you not know what airline you are flying on?



April... just work and more work.

May... my mother flew up to visit for a few days and we went to Yosemite and had a blast!

Somewhere between Yosemite and Memorial day Rodney and I rented Greys Anatomy Season One with Netflix and we have been pretty much addicted to that show ever since, we are now on Season 4, we just love when netflix hits the mail box so we can see what happens in the next episode!


Rodney and I went home for Memorial day! My little nephew is getting so so big!! All of us "adult" children entertained ourselves by playing with my year old nephews water toys. Looking back it seems so silly.




Now June.. not sure what we will do this month, hopfully my sister can come up for my birthday... what? YES! MY BIRTHDAY is at the end of this month, so June is going to be really exciting! I Love my birthday, i have the day off and i am just going to enjoy it! =)



Now that we have the internet back, i will try to update more often!

thats all for now! =)

Christmas in June!!

Rodney and I have just received our Christmas present from Evan in the mail today! He gave us Amazon gift cards and we finally cashed them out for Everwood Season 3!



Everwood was a show on TV back when I was in high school. It was canceled because there was only room for one show the following year they had to choose between 7th Heaven's 20th season and Everwood. Lets just say they chose the wrong show.



They are now very slowly releasing them on DVD! And we will now probably sit for the next however many days just watching it, bad thing about TV on DVD, you don't have to wait until next week for the next episode! =)

Thanks EVAN!
