If I could turn back time (to be sung in Chers voice)

I recently started a job working at the men's fragrance counter at Macys and I giggle every time I'm there. Last time I was working in a department store it was six years ago but I can't help but think of all those memories. What I love is that most of the people i knew then I still know and know even better. We have friendships and instead of the gossip of what everyone is doing, we're talking about husbands and children and what we're going to be when we grow up.
But for fun I want to list some of the things I think about when I work
- the first time I closed a register Ashley in fragrance showed me how to do it
-Arloha keeping her lipstick in her bra (not a bad idea when you're single and want to draw attention, but kinda sick otherwise)
-the boys, between all the girls that were there, there was a stream of them, whether it was sweet little Garrett, someone to flirt with or dear Ryan in customer service. And does anyone know what is going on with the girl from clinique and the nice boy who got married?
-what my body used to be like all those years ago, I do miss my flat tummy
-Angies stories
-The time I thought Jane wasn't going to eat her cookie, so I did, I thought it was funny, she didn't...hehe
-living with Amanda, great times, especially the car stalling on the way to work, and we drove together that day, it was the last time as well

I can go on and on but what I love is we were friends, all in different places in our lives, and for me, having just walked away from a life, I was relieved to have found a new one waiting for me!

Ah good memories. I totally forgot about Ryan in customer service! Those were seriously good times. I loved working there with you! We had so many talks back then.

This post made me laugh. We all had some fun times for sure! I loved it cause we all got along for the most part. I miss those things about working there, but not much else. Looking back on the car dying on the freeway and us accepting a ride with that older man, FREAKS me out now! What were we thinking?!
