PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew, it's over. Man that was exhausting. So I guess you are waiting for the results, huh? I had to wait until the last second, so you will have to as well! Tee Hee Hee.

In case you were also wondering, my brother didn't actually make it into town this weekend. I am hoping to get out there in January. I am supposed to get some comp time then, so I can escape for a few days and hang out with him. It would have been a very short visit if he had actually come in, basically for a few hours.

So, did we make our goal? Good question. I did buy a lovely white gold and diamond necklace from the clearance counter and a really pretty white gold and diamond XOX tennis bracelet, also on sale. I needed them to complete my white gold and diamond collection. I LOVE diamonds. Have I ever mentioned that before?

This morning when I got into work and pulled up figures, two stores came up from behind and were neck and neck with us. The dreaded Michigan store and an Indiana store. Indiana had actually pulled 1 point ahead of us, leaving me and Michigan tied in second. BOO HOO.

The weather was gorgeous today. Sunny and realtively warm. I dressed to warm for work, but usually it is frezzing in the store.

OK, I will end the suspense. We made it! We made it with $10 to spare!!!! YAHOO! YIPEE! WOO HOO! It is such a great way to close out the first month we had together in the store. The staff is pumped and I am so happy for them. They deserved to see this happen for them. They had a hard summer and I am happy to support them and guide them and mentor them in any way I can.

On to next month! OY

Until next time...goodnight!

I got an update, we actually came in 3rd. Indiana 1st, Michigan 2nd and then little ol' us. At least we made the goal and we showed.

Kol HaKavod! Regardless of the update, you acheived your goal as far as you could tell at the time!I continue to be impressed by the way you encourage the employees.
Your new jewelry collection sounds gorgeous. (Just don't do that every month, or you may spend more than you earn!!)

Y, thanks for the advice! I certainly can't and won't make this a habit. I have had a very hard year, emotionally and physically, so this was really a gift to myself, in hopes that the bumps are behind me.
My next gift is a new dryer!
