One Big KISS


So I pretty much say this every time, but the event today was the most fun I've had at one of these! The store sends volunteers to help out at local children's events. Today we went to help answer phones at the One Big Kiss Radiothon, benefiting the Seattle Children's Hospital's Greatest Needs fund. Basically helping children get the medical treatment they need. It was a lot of fun and there were tons of great people calling in with monthly and one time donations. If you'd like to help make sick children feel better, call 206-987-1061 or donate online. Goes until 7pm Thursday February 26.

AVALANCHE!!

I was originally just going to tweet about this, but it is just too weird of a dream not to describe it fully, even if no one is interested in reading about it. Plus, it is now just past the time I am usually up for work so my mind is telling me to get up.

I was working at a Kohl's store that was on top of Mt Baker. The store hadn't opened yet but we had a lot of our merchandize (including all our jewelry). We were having a group meeting with all the employees who were prepping the store, about 10 people (all of which I work with in real life) when we started to hear a faint noise. We told the people talking be be quiet and everyone could hear a faint rumble. It sounded like either some one was trying to break in to steal the jewelry or it was an avalanche. My boss told everyone to call 911 so we all took out our iphones (yes, really). But before anyone could even dial, the building started to shake and I knew it was an avalanche. In my dream I felt sick because I could imagine the store sliding down the mountain and getting buried in snow. Luckily this is when I woke up, because I have no desire to get buried in an avalanche, even if it is only in a dream. Of course I have been getting used to waking up at 6:00am for work so my mind went to wake up mode since it was about 6:30 when I woke up. But it is a Saturday and I refuse to volunterly wake up this early so I will have to buckle down and try really hard to go back to sleep. At the the very least I need to stop typing because Dante is head butting me in the chin.
