Enormous Emounts of Energy!

Okay so this morning I can say I'm all relaxed from lastnights sleep.. still stuffy throat and nose, but nothing big :)

Work has been going well. I've been drinking Coca Cola's finest -- and newest product. VAULT


You should have seen me at work last week. I know I worked at least 6 hours a day, if not more.
Especially on Thanksgiving and the day after when I'd come in at 5:30 in the morning and leave at 4 pm. You know you have to drink SOMETHING to keep you awake. I was drinking this stuff and got all kinds of energy *gotta love it*
Besides you should have heard me singing off key to Frosty the snow man as my line of customers (who before then wanted to get thru as fast as possible) was laughing their heads off at me. They would even join in singing with me or make alot of jokes up ;D I love my job! I can actuallly be the goofy person I am and ppl dont try to tell me I'm being foolish or stop lol
Even my boss would laugh when my paper would get stuck in my cash register thingy and instead of getting aggrivated I'd put my hands out to it like I was trying to make it magically appear and would say "yah!" or "ka-bamb" and then tell my customers I was still working on it and would get it down pat in a few more days. Or I'd give excuses like "excuse my cash register it had the hiccups" lol and ppl would roll with laughter or say something funnier to make me laugh! :D

The oddest thing I can say that has happened would be....
I was working a week ago and this guy comes into bps. He got in my line and as I was scanning what he bought he kept talking to me like he knew me. Then he mentioned my name as Mallory. I smiled and said "brandy". He looked at me strangely and I noticed he was staring at my name badge. "how did you get them to change your name to brandy?" he asked me. I was starting to get a lil scared cause he looked serious. At the time I was training a new cashier and she was looking just as worried at me as I was at the guy. I told him my name was Brandy and he was like.. "Come on Mallory I've been your uncle your whole life you dont think I kno my niece when I see her? Besides the mole by your nose gives you away". I was starting to really freak out. I grabbed my purse and held out my license for him to see.. he started to turn a bit whitish. He then pulls out his wallet and shows me his neice and her brother. SHE DOES LOOK JUST LIKE ME! I'm kidding you not. She wasnt wearing glasses at the time, but she had my facial features, she had my body size and the mole by our nose was the same too! The lady i was training asked me if we were playing a joke on her... course all i could do is shake my head no cause i was shocked too much to talk. The guy said he'd bring his neice in to see me as soon as he can and by the way her name was mallory.. so I have a twin out there somewhere .. how she looks like me I dont know and I'm really trying to figure that out in my head.. its crazy but cool. I know I'll scream if I look up and see her standing infront of me ya know?

Wonderful Wacky Weekend...

A WONDERFUL good mornin' to yall! I hope you're enjoying your day, I know that I am! What a blessing it is to get up , be able to walk, talk and breathe and not have any problems... to wake up to another wonderful crisp morning and be able to sit and relax, before I head off to work. :)

Not much has been changing around here -- my sister (in law) and her sweet husband and 4 kids came to Indiana! Steven and his dad went hunting Friday night so I spent that time shopping for Thanksgiving food with his mom and sister.. it was much fun and we didnt get home until around 12ish pm. :P(my brota was home talking his head off to his girlfriend if you didnt guess ;) *love you Jamie*)
I had to get up at 7 the next morning for work and I hadnt slept the past 3 days before that but I wasnt even tired.... *its gonna catch up to me I know* About 3ish Sat morning Sam showed up with her gang and they have all grown up soooo much! William is almost too big to carry now *sniffles* And Philip crawls around and is trying to walk, its so sweet. My girl (Audrey, my neice) and boy (Jackson, my nephew) are getting soooo tall, its unbelieve able!

So Saturday I get up, shower and play with William (I was sleeping w/ Kayla in her room so when i got up William wondered his way in there to watch tv with Kayla) before I headed home to pick up my belt and badge and go to work. I couldnt wait for work to get over. Oh and then that night after I got off everyone but the men, went to watch the play WIZARD OF OZ(even Jamies Girlfriend drove over to be with him in the play and Mrs Hodges bought her a ticket) I had to sick by them too ;P
This was my first play I've ever been to and I was so excited and I tell you they did a wonderful job! I can't wait to go back next year!! Steven and Sam both were in plays when they were younger.. so it was nice watching aplay and imagining my husband in it years ago :D Sam had me riding with her, which I had no objections with, she's such a cool sis. We wanted to go to BPS after we got out but it was 10pm and that is when the place closes.. i called her mom to tell her it closed at tin.. and sam was teaching me to talk haha it was hallarious "Not Tin.. that is what the tin man was made out of .. its TeN" lol It was so funny....

OH AND STEVEN GOT A 7 POiNT BUCK SAT MORN.
His dad got a pretty good size doe..

Steve and I went home, not before I cut myself to big ol pieces of PUMPKIN PIE, my favorite. It came from the store and Oh my i've not had anything like this since a year ago and it tasted still just as good in those few bites! I hated to leave but we had to cause I had a manditory meeting Sunday morning around 8. The meeting lasted until about 9:30 and I had enough time to run out the door (Steven picked me up) and head over to church. As we came in the door we were able to sing the last verse of the hymn before the sermon was preached, so I was just in time ;) We all went to Stevens parents house and I figured that William is now Blubber mouth (from Fat Albert) he's so cute! Audrey and I played dolls together, we all went shopping - and Sam got to see where I work for the first time...
In Walmart, it was so packed. As we were standing in line Sam was telling mom how she hit me over the head with a thing of wrappin paper because I called it cute.. haha it was halarious. So i picked up her paper, held it high over my head and said as loud as my voice would let me (imagine like 50 ppl around me every way , waiting to pay for their stuff... "EVERYONE SAM HAS CUTE WRAPPING PAPER" haha oh it was funny she came charging for me and tried taking the paper from me.. as I held the bottom of it she was using the top to beat me with! LOL I call that violent ;P It bent the wrapping paper but she ended up getting it.. lol SO now I tease her all the time about her "CUTE" (not pretty) wrapping paper. Oh yeah and we ate pretzels on the way home and as we got home the guys just finished cleaning up the deer and we all piled into two vehicles and went back to church.


On the way home it began to mix rain and snow!! Our first this year!!



But the weather was cold enough for it ;P
Sam gave out the Christmas gifts.. us girls and her mom got hand made necklaces, wrapped in the cute wrapping paper LOL, which she told me she had made mine first! *awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww* Steven got a container for reece pieces and a scoop holding an ounce per scoop (for his icecream) with a bag for refils and a giftcard (to my favorite place bps!)-- his dad got a gift card from bass pro and some hershey chocolates-- and Jamie got a gift card to his favorite store.. hes so happy too :D Jamie also killed my cell talking to his girlfriend :P

It was hard to say goodbye.. but we managed and got home safely. We came in and went straight to bed since it was late and Steven woke me up about an hour ago (not on purpose) as he came to lay down with me before he went to work. I love my guy he's awesome! ♥

I know most of you prolly dont have time to read all this but for those really interested in what's going on w/ me, there you have it. Now I really must get off of here..I have to get ready for another big day *smiles* I can't wait to go see Sams place out in the boonies of PENN this summer with Steven and his family. We are going to see all kinds of places like the ocean (my dream since I was little) NYC, Niagra falls, Gettysburg and so much more that is around them... IM so HAPPY!

.. Loving you like fat man loves *white* cake..

Beginning posts...

Hello! To those just reading this post, I decided to start blogging on here from my big brother Eric Hamilton. I thought that it would be nice to be on the same page as him ;) and hopefully others I know will join in and our circle will grow!

I've been unpacking and with a job in the day and hungry husband at night you can imagine my progress is slow and that is very sad. I have been stepping over boxes and boxes and did I mention boxes? :P Ick. But before long it will all look like a home.. that I'm thankful, I dont think it can get there soon enough. Something weird about me is that I can't fully fall asleep at night if I know any part of my house is a mess, so you can imagine I've not been sleeping the best lately.

I have found that bubble wrap and I dont get along very well. I scream every time I step on it bare feet. The other night I was putting books on a book shelf. Steven was in bed and I was cleaning up, since I work all the time I only have time to clean when I get home... it was 2 am and I stepped infront of my book shelf to put some books on it. My hands were full. As I stepped down, on what I had no clue was bubble wrap I heard loud "POPS" and felt the bubble wrap popping under my foot (tho I had no idea what it was) I gave out a loud scream and threw the books up as I came jumping off the bubble wrap. Steven slept through it and I ended up really laughing at myself over that, once I saw the bubble wrap on the floor. Steven has made sure to chase me all over the place with bubble wrap... he's crazy! I'm trying to give him back to his mom but she doesnt wnat him.. haha jk

Today I was at work from 7-5pm. I really love my job at Bass Pro Shop.

I've really met some cool people since I've been working and alot of interesting customers. I found that I am a people person and I love being around them. The longer the better. Especially with some hard times that I've been going through, work helps me keep my mind off of the pain. I try asking for more hours then I can have lol I just love working there and I want to be working there all my life. I'm still debating how to work and have kids too.. lol. I'm prepared to go a few more years without kids at this point in my life. I'm so into my job and my friends there. They are so sweet and not going to work all the time would kill me!

Well, I dont really think much else has really been going on. My sweet guy took me out to Taco Bells tonight as a special treat. Its nice to be able to sit down and eat with him and us just talk rather then eat and watch tv. Especially since we dont see each other that much. I use to be a big talker, but lately talking isnt a big priority anymore, especially when you're job is to constantly yell to customers lines away "Im free, you can come over here" lol I take plenty of gum, lifesavers and drink vault! :D (Which my buddy made sure today when I called Vault Coke to clarify me that Coke was Coca Cola. Vault was either Vault or Pop.. haha I guess that is the same thing as asking people how they pronounce Louisville Ky. LOL Its so funny! Some say Luville, Louis-villle, Louey-ville lol and the names go on...

Well, I really must go. My house needs a few more touch ups before I head to bed and I need to get some laundry started up.
I will talk to you all very soon I hope. If you want to email me sometime feel free, I'm always checking my mail before I go to bed - naturalblue84@yahoo.com :) Take care!

...loving you like carmel candy,
