Harvest and planting season = free crazy time for me!

Russ has been away on the farm these past few weeks, yeah I know I married a southern boys. Right now it is time for harvesting wheat and planting soybeans!


The big tractor is a John Deere 9500 it is very roomy to ride in and has air and a radio. This is very beneficial so that the farmers do not go crazy. It is also very fun to operate!



This is a John Deere 4440 which is also comes with ac and a radio. This contraption is not very roomy and it hurts your butt if you have to sit in it for a long time. The things on the right are soybeans. They have many different uses and are quite dry when you have to see when they are ready to be harvested. (Russ took me to a field once and showed me the way the "farmers" check to see when they are ready... what a lovely husband) Oh the things we do for "fun."

Any who I have been able to do tons of things around the house now that I am alone and at night. I get to eat supper alone which can sometimes be a big bummer and I also get to watch CSI re-runs. I am in love with CSI I watch Miami, New York, CSI that are new, everything. I love watching a murder being broken down, it seems so real and neat to see how they figure these crimes out. I don't really like to read alot or really like all the crazy drama filled series shows but I do love me some CSI. I record them while I am at work and I get to watch them when I get home.... I love it so much!!!

Also I have found that I am a avid puzzle putter togetherer. I love puzzles and how you have all the pieces but you have to wedge them all together to make something spectacular. The sad thing is, is that I can not walk away from the puzzle until it is together. I just want to see the picture all put together so that I can glue it. I have 4 puzzles now that are done and glued and I have no idea what I am going to do with them. I have found a way to fill my free time but it leaves me with puzzles that hold no purpose.

Working at the Big Kohl's

CLEARANCE... For the past 3 days I have been marking clearance at Kohl's we have tons of clothes that went clearance shorts, spaghetti straps, carpi's, pants, and so much more!!!! If you have time you should really go buy some stuff.

So I love the fact that I have a job, so don't let this rant fool you!

I loath some of the people who come and shop at my store (well not my store but you know.) Kohl's gives people whatever they want and I mean whatever. We have this *wonderful* policy of "YES WE CAN" now I know that this is a little misleading for some of our customers and they think that they can do anything. We had a lady today that only wanted to buy one of the bogo luggage that we have on sale this week. ( I consider bogo crazy for Kohl's because most of the time our sales are better than bogo, anyways) So I give her the stupid luggage for half off "yes we can" policy. Then the lady has these pants that had something on them so I gave her 10% off again "yes we can" policy. Then she says that another pair of pants has a mark since she seen that I gave her 10% off. I could not find a mark and she couldn't find it again so no 10% off. Then she realized that she is spending too much money and has me take some of the clothes that are not clearance off, okay I can do that! She then proceeds to let me know that there is some sort of mysterious mark on the luggage piece that she had... I, however, could not find the mark and she couldn't find it either. She then persisted that we have different lights at customer service to make it harder to find the spot she was looking for, crazy! So I give her another10% off her already lowered priced luggage. Guess what she even has a coupon, how lovely, and aggravating. I wanted to say something to her about all the hassle that she had caused but I did not.

We do have a "YES WE CAN" policy and most of the time people use it when it is important. Some people, like the above lady, seem to know about this and take it for advantage.
