wil and kris (and gracie and ava)

well, similar to wil’s site… over a week has passed and there has been nothing to speak of. i guess that’s what happens when all we have to talk about is just each other, and neither of us have been up to anything recently.

as of right now i am in the thick of my thesis (actually, not quite since i haven’t even started writing yet!). for some reason i have had the hardest time getting myself to actually work on this project. one day after another goes by and i just can’t get motivated or inspired to work on the researching, compiling and writing of this thing. and not only do i have a paper to write by the end of the summer, but i also have to find a building in nashville, gather all the information (architectural plans, photos, codes, etc) and be happy enough with it to spend the entire next term working on it.

maybe it’s because it’s the summer, i’m newly married, or just lazy, but sitting down and doing this is like pulling teeth. plus, it’s so self driven that the class doesn’t meet all the time, so i don’t really have the accountability or weekly deadlines. now past the point of “pressure” from my procrastination (nice alliteration!), i am honestly just scared for myself. to combat the fear and light the fire under myself, i have made myself just work as hard as i can to get some stuff accomplished tonight. i’ve done pretty good so far this evening, starting at 5 and not even breaking for dinner (unless you count a bowl of ice cream as a well-rounded meal), until now. and don’t you worry, i promise to get back to it.

i’ve set up camp in the office (wil’s working for the night) and have spilled over onto everything. got my note cards lined up by subject matter (credit to mama d!), but the books are sprawled and papers are flown. it’s madness i tell you!

seriously, guys.

on the left toolbar, it says ‘coffee requests’ - click it! free coffee, no joke, i’ll even ship it to you for free… seriously. i have so much coffee to give away. you can only get coffee through that page, though….so… i suggest you click! =D

okay, sorry it’s been a while since my last update.. i just haven’t had much to write about lately.

as many of you know, i have moved into a new store with my job.  i now work at the starbucks in downtown franklin (5 points), instead of the store in west nashville.  I am becoming more and more a part of their team, especially with some recent occurances.

Last week, Shiloh (my manager) appointed me in charge of an order, and we talked about strategies we would attempt in order to devour this feat.  I pretty much handle all the paper products that come into our store… which is quite a load!

Not only that, but Shiloh has talked with me and the other supervisors about promoting me up to my old position.  (when i transfered stores, i wasn’t able to keep my title because there was no room for another supervisor… at the time).  I will be promoted at the end of the summer when the spot opens up!  I enjoy the new responsibilities, even if they are ones i have had in the past.  It’s nice to have a change of pace.

This new store is great.  It’s a small store with a much lower volume, so there’s a lot more time to spend with our customers.  So far, i love it, and i don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Enjoy your saturday,
