Leave me an email if anyone figures it out. sempermea@gmail.com Betcha couldn't have guessed that one huh?

Ready for Rain?

Well, I know it has been a while since my last post. Lots of new things have been happening!! I have been busy with school starting and work these past two weeks. Last Saturday and Sunday Dillard's was busy with inventory. I spent a total of 23 hours at Dillard's last weekend for inventory!! I had about 4 hours of sleep Saturday. Sunday I worked for 13 hours straight with no break(isn't that illegal??) and had to be at school early the next day or morning whichever you prefer.



Here is an inside look at the stock room of Dillard's...I hope they don't fire me for taking these pictures =)



Our stock room is rather large...though the isles are small. We have roughly 23,000 pairs of shoes and they all had to be accounted for last weekend. The wierd things you find out when you are in retail.

Oh, this is a picture of one of the shoes that I want to buy...when they go on sale...really on sale. Aren't they CUTE!!


Boots anyone?? Boot season is almost over. HOORAY!! But that means that sandal season is well on it's way... =( Oh, well =)

Anyhow, on another note I am sorry that I wasn't able to be apart of what happened on Sunday morning. I have heard nothing but praise and glory to God for what He is doing in our church. You can feel it, you can see it, you can hear it, and you can taste and see that the Lord is so GOOD!! Tonight as Bro. Elms said this is all happening be we are all in unity and are praying without ceasing!! Bro. Curtis, in Sunday School, made a very good point with his lesson today. He talked of a church wanting and praying for rain in a drought season. When it came time to go to church and pray for this rain, no one brought an umbrella. No one came expecting rain! From this I am reminded of Sis. Elms' dream of an expectant mother where Joy was birthed in the church. If we expect miracles, healings, signs, wonders, and many more souls to be touched we have to come expecting the Lord to do great things. We have to make ready our umbrella for rain!! I am so excited to be part of a church where God will pour out his rain of mercy and goodness! I can't wait to be back in His pressence!!

Who's got their umbrella ready???

Five Things

1. From the time that I was a little girl I have always wanted to be a Pediatrician. I always wanted to help people any way I could. When I found out how many credit hours it took and how long I would indefinitely be in school I decided to change my mind. I took music instead. I still get to help people though, with their shoes LOL! OH, and I don't really think I could have handled all the blood and guts part of the job.

2. When I was in High School at RIDER, (WooWhoo!!) I went to State for Choir. I was a Soprano II and placed 7th chair. That gave me a small scholarship to Midwestern if I chose to major in Vocal Performance, which I did for two years before switching.

3. I lived in Germany for 3 years while my dad was in the Air Force. There it snowed worse than it has the last couple of days here. One winter day our whole family decided it would be fun to build a snowman. We had so much fun!! We finally finished and went back inside to warm up by the fire. Laura, my little sister, was staring out the window at the snowman. I thought it would be funny to play a trick on her. I convinced her that the snowman was moving and was sneaking up to the door. She screamed and ran to mom and dad!! I hope she's not scared of snowmen anymore!!

4. The summer before my freshman year of high school, I applied to go to a summer camp for Girl Scouts. It just happened to be in Hawaii and it had to do with music. In order to qualify for acceptance you had to go through council interviews, get recommendations, make a tape of your voice, all kinds of stuff in order to just be heard. Out of over 10,000 applications 150 girls made it. I was one of them. We went to Diamond Head, shopping, a Luau, and made a Girl Scout CD that is still available to buy!! http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Scouts-Greatest-Beneath-Wings/dp/B00008LULT We even got to meet the man who wrote that song, Larry Henley. My name is listed in the cover!! How cool!! http://gsmusic.com/singers1998.html Can you find me in these pics???

5. I have a secret passion for office supplies. Pens, pencils, sharpies, paper, paper clips, note pads, binders, organizing devices, post-its. Post-its are the worst because if I buy a pen or pencil they are always right next to them and all the colors and patterns and oh it's just awful and I have to get a stack!!Crazy wacky pens/pencils are the coolest!! Kimberly Pursel was my secret sister one time and she got me the neatest pens and a stack of neon post-its!! I still have the post-its, they are just so pretty!! I have a box full of pens and pencils and sharpies and highlighters that I have collected. I even have a maze pen from when my family went on vacation to Atlanta. My sister brought me back a bendy rubber pencil from Hawaii when she went. I even bought some of those sharpies that attach to your key chain. Sharpies are even more colorful than post-its now!!


Ok, now...I have to tag someone and I'm so glad that Misty finally arrived so I can tag her.

What I didn't do today

Ok, long boring day at work. No sales today...nobody wanted shoes I just don't know why somebody wouldn't want to pay full price for shoes...I just don't know why!! All in all it was a pretty peaceful day. I guess God knew I wouldn't be able to handle mad customers today LOL!!


My friend from high school came from out of town to see me for a couple of days. I had to work the late shift tonight so she dropped by for an hour and a half and we just talked in the store because nobody was at Dillard's to buy shoes tonight.


This is Nikki or Nicole. We've known each other for 13 years? Is that how long it's been!!!??? Wow, that just seems like a long time to know someone. She moved to San Diego after we graduated from High School. She is now living in Lubbock...couldn't stay away from Texas!!









This is our other friend Ashlee who just happened to be shopping at Dillard's...although she didn't want to buy any shoes =( She starts working at Dillard's on Wednesday! How funny the world is sometimes, how small our lives seem when we know someone else is in control =) Everything and everyone is somehow connected.



On another note, hopefully I'll be posting my 5 in the next couple of days. I wonder who hasn't been tagged yet? Hmmmmmm......

What about Jeremy?





Well he has been bugging me to put something on here about him!! So, this is for you Jeremy!!









We have done a lot of things together this winter break. Of course he graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Business with a major in Management Information Systems. That basically means...I think...that he can do lanything that has to do with managing or computers or information systems LOL =)


My family went out of town for Christmas and I had to work. So, I spent Christmas with Jeremy and his family. We had so much fun! We opened presents and played Balderdash and just had a great time.









On Saturday, he picked me up from work and we went to play Putt Putt at the Plex.













Here is my hole in one!! Doesn't it just look fabulous just sitting there in that hole all by it's lonesome!! And by the way we both tied with our scores. 55 YEAH!!! Anyhow, just thought I would share that with you!

Birthdays and Buddies

Ok, I've officially decided to start my new blog tonight!! My parents, aka Santa, gave me a digital camera for Christmas so I suppose now would be the best time to start using it!! I have a website where I will post most all the pictures that I take. http://picasaweb.google.com/sempermea This is the website for my photo albums if you want to take a look. I also have a link to it on the side.












Lots has happened since Christmas. New Year's Day at work, Dillard's, was absolutely horrible!! So many people wanted to buy shoes it was unreal!!

January 4th was Lulee's Birthday!! She's 23 now!


We had a great time. We went to Applebee's and I whispered to the waitress that it was Lu's birthday. After the meal they sang to the whole resturaunt their Happy Birthday song!!








She was very surprised...
