I have to say that life has been going quite well for me recently. I'm feeling better on many levels. I have the new job at work and there is not much difference in what I do except that I get paid more, which I have no problems with. I don't think that anyone had a problem with me becoming a supervisor since most of the newer employees already thought that I was one. I'm on a small vacation right now. I decided that I needed a mental health break so I took 5 days off. (quite nice and needed) I might go to Athens one day or I might just hang out around here and get things done.
My birthday is coming up and 3 of my friends have birthdays right after me so we are all going to go out one night in September, which should be an experience. When the 4 of us get together it is quite amusing and add our significant others to the picture, it should be quite the time.
Speaking of significant others... I am happier right now than I have ever been in the relationship department. K is so wonderful. Monday night we went to the Weezer concert. It was so much fun and I couldn't have had a better time with someone. (even though my car was broken into while we were there. The back passenger window was busted out but nothing was taken. Thank God! Seven other cars got broken into around me but the only things that were taken were some cell phones and some cash.) Then Wednesday we worked and came back here and hung out. Thursday I wasn't feeling well so I called out from work. After I slept most of the day (with K taking care of me) I felt better and he took me to the Braves game that night. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to attempt to cook for him or if I should just go ahead and let him cook dinner tonight. His uncle is a chef and K learned to cook from him. Hmmmmmm.... I don't know yet. If I do cook tonight, it will be crawfish. Cooked how you ask? I have no idea. My uncle stopped in here from New Orleans on his way to New York and dropped some crawfish tails off and I don't know what I want to do with them. Anyways... since K and I started dating I've been thinking more about my relationship with Mike and my god that was one fucked up relationship. I'm surprised most of my friends didn't beat me senseless. Actually, I wish that they would have.
Anyways.... I'm planning to go to New Orleans soon for a visit. K has never been there so I figured I would take him and show him my hometown. I'm probably just going to go for a few days and stay in the French Quarter. If we do that then it means that he has to take me to Minnesota (his hometown) and I don't want to go in the summer. I want to see snow and lots of it! He is saying maybe sometime in January or February. I can't wait!
I think that's about it for now. I have to go figure out a recipe for the crawfish and do some laundry (hmmm... what a vacation) Awww... hell I need it.

Update:
I am now the merchandising supervisor at work now. It's easy since everyone like me there and there are no hard feelings that I got the job.
I am dating the greatest guy right now. The best way to describe him to people is that I have them picture my ex's personality and tell them to think of the EXACT opposite and that's him. My ex's sister met him the other night and loves him!
I never thought that Athens could be so much fun but now that I go there about every other week I'm really learning my way around.
Sadie (my lab puppy) is now almost 8 months old and going strong at 65 lbs of solid muscle. Do you know how hard it is to control an enormous puppy when she gets excited? Quite fun.
I'll write more later but right now need to get ready for work.
current mood:  flirty

OK.... such good things going on right now.
I will be a supervisor a week from Saturday.
I had the BEST date on Tuesday... we went and saw Harry Connick Jr in concert at Chastain.... wine.... food.... GREAT music.... GREAT fun.
I have the BEST group of friends right now. The best I've ever had. All of them are supportive and caring.
I'm going on vacation to Florida soon... ahhh... beach... relax... no work. I'm also getting ready to go back to Athens and will probably be spending quite a bit of time up there in the future. Great group of people up there and quite enjoyable times.
there's quite a bit more but I've got to go and get ready to go out.
current mood:  busy

What Jelly Belly flavor are you? I'm -
Find your flavor here!
I had alot of fun at work today. Harry Potter was released on VHS and DVD and we were lucky enough to host a viewing party tonight. Imagine about 85 kids in a space about the size of a walk in closet all dressed up and munching on popcorn. Ummm... I left work at 8pm and the movie was still going on and quite a bit needed to be clean but oh well I was out of there!

Let's see... I just got back from Athens last night. A friend had to go to an interview there and needed a ride and I was off so I figured why not. I cannot wait to go back! We got there around 10am and left around 9pm. So not enough time. I'll write more later.

Well I haven't posted in awhile. Not too much going on right now. I had to go to the doctor because I was feeling so bad the past week (you know the type, people come up to you and say 'you know I love you but you look horrible') Well, the doctor said that I had early stages of pneumonia and some slight strep throat. Yeah that's wonderful. I am now feeling somewhat better thanks to the medicine.
I finally got my taxes mailed off Monday morning. Yeah, I waited a long time but hey, they were done, in on time and I'm getting a nice chunk of change back.
I went and saw my first hockey game 2 weeks ago with Brian and then went the next week with another friend. I think that hockey itself is quite fun however the Atlanta Thrashers are not the best team but that's okay because I really did enjoy myself.
Work is going well. I talked to my manager about becoming a supervisor and she was very excited because we might have two different positions opening up soon. I get my review tomorrow but I'm not worried because Sarah is doing it and said I knew what would be on it. Ummm...nothing bad.I do know that. I have to say that I do love Michelle right now. Today we had a shoplifter that she caught but he didn't want stop and give back the merchandise so she walked after him and told him 'hey you son-of-a-bitch give me the fucking books that you have shoved up your fucking shirt.... Don't come back into my store you jackass cuz I'll call the cops to have your ass hauled to jail' Yeah, she was a little pissed. No, he didn't give the books back. Oh well. Then last night a guy went into the children's dept and exposed himself to a little girl. A customer ran up front to tell us and the guy ran out of the store. It turns out that this guy had recently kidnapped a 12 year old girl and was all over the news. He was gone before the cops could get there though. Fucking shit.
Other than that, that's bout it that I feel like talking about right now.

Well, I just got home from Taco Mac. Brian and I went up there to get a drink and ended up running into all of these people that we know. We spend most of the night talking with JoJo. I just kept looking back and forth between the two of the because I haven't seen the two of them at the same time in about 3 years. It was quite nice. I also saw Jacen. woohoo.... ummm....yeah. He came up to us said hi, gave a quick hug and ran off. He came up to us a couple of times during the course of the evening to chat with Brian and Joe. He ignored me. Thank you God for small miracles. The good thing was that we were civil to each other being as we have mutual friends and didn't want to make things awkward. Anyways, it was good to see all of them again. Also, being that Joe goes up there alot the bartender gave Brian and I some free drinks. Did I maybe just find a new place to hang out? Well, who knows? Anyways, going to bed now and hopefully will wake up headache free.

11:53 pm - Once Again....
|
Well, once again Miranda was right. She and I dragged our tired sick asses out to the movies. We saw Queen of the Damned (her 2nd, my 1st time) I really didn't want to see it because I REALLY HATE Anne Rice. Let me just clarify that. Anne Rice is an author that you either love or you hate. There does not seem to be middle ground with her. I thought that Interview with a Vampire (the movie) was a waste of video tape. Tom Cruise was a HORRIBLE vampire. The little bit that I saw was a waste of my time. However, I know that many people enjoyed that movie. I am happy for those who found satisfaction from that. I did not. Well, I have to admit that I truly enjoyed the QOD tonight. I can tell that there were some liberties taken with the screenplay. I think I will go see it again, this time without the guys head right in my way, the couple behind us kicking the seat, the teeny-boppers making noise and getting kicked out and of course without the couple with the 2 young children sitting next to us. The kid problem could have been solved real quick by a slap upside the head but I really didn't want to deal with the repercussions of that tonight. So all said and done.....
Miranda you were right, I was wrong.

First of all, I HATE being sick. This cold thing was passed throughout work and I successfully avoided it until right before I'm supposed to being going to New Orleans. Isn't that just my luck? Miranda is also not feeling 100%. Well I don't care if we have to crawl out of our deathbeds... we are going to New Orleans and we ARE going to enjoy ourselves! We leave Wednesday morning and return on Sunday. So quite a nice little vacation.
Things here have been boring per usual. I really don't get it... people (from out of state) think Atlanta is this great place with so much to do. Well guess what? There really isn't alot to do unless you are an alcoholic. Why is that? Right now we are in concert slump, nothing noteworthy coming soon. I got invited to go to Backstreet (a club) for free (door fee is $15) to see a friend of a friend in the drag show. I might go because I love Backstreet. Everyone there is so great. I just don't know.
Work is work. We are getting new carpet in the store which will be nice since people spill things on it daily. The bad thing is that we have to move all of this shit around so they can replace the carpet. Ugh! I'm thinking that a supervisor position might be opening up soon and if so I'm going to tell Michelle that I want to be considered for it. It would involve a pay increase but not much more responsibility than I have now. I'm waiting to get my yearly increase right now. That will be nice because I will be one of the highest paid people in the store. Yeah!
My chocolate lab puppy is more beautiful than ever. Still teething and chewing on everything that we give her. She is so smart too! She knows her name, to come, sit, down, off, paw, outside, etc. All of that and only 14 weeks old! A little monster though at 30 pounds now, compared to the 6 pounds when we got her. Well I guess I did say that I wanted a bigger dog again. I seem to be getting my wish.
That's about it. I'm going to go curl up and die for awhile before I have to go to work. Lucky me!

5:37 pm - mindless ramblings
|
Well not alot has happened recently... getting ready to go out. I'm waiting on Miranda to get ready...ah hell...I still have to finish getting ready so I really shouldn't be bothering doing this. I bought a cute pair of pants today...they are plaid and CUTE!!! I love having money! Miranda and I are going to be leaving for New Orleans in a week and a half. We fly out on a Wednesday and come back on the Sunday. Hopefully we'll have fun. I do have to say that Miranda has been working out and she is looking so good (not that she didn't look good before-just more definition). She also seems alot happier since she has been doing this so I am happy for her. Well that's about it.
current mood: energetic

10:52 pm - Content and Surviving
|
Well, Miranda and I just got back from Florida. We drove down to Jacksonville to go to a concert. My one question is can she and I go to one concert and have a good time without someone attempting to ruin it? There was a lady and 2 guys sitting in front of us who had a bit too much to drink. The lady (I would guess she was in her 40's) was doing a lap dance on the 2 guys (who were also in their 40's). They were so drunk and obnoxious that other people around us were leaving. Well I know that we didn't drive 4 1/2 hours to leave because of them so Miranda went and got security and needless to say, we got to enjoy the rest of the concert. We also met the opening act who is from Atlanta. Quite nice, Quite fun. Miranda wanted to see the beach at night so I took her to it. I really miss having the beach so close. I really took it for granted living there. I realize that it is quite comforting to walk on the sand, hear the ocean waves pounding on the shore, to feel the ocean breeze and spray in you face. I really miss that and want to go back. (I guess thats why Miranda and I are going to try to rent a place down at the beach during the summer)
I realize that it's been awhile since I had last been in Jax because I got us lost and pretty much circled the city. Oh well, I got to see my concert and she got to see the beach so we drove home. We left Jax around 2am. I made Miranda sleep and I drove. Let me tell you that it was not fun. The fog on I-10 was so thick that I couldn't see 50 ft in front of me. Then on I-75, we drove through 2 brush fires that had smoked out the interstate. The worst part of the drive was when I drove through an accident scene(fatality). A cop was standing on the side of the road covering up a body. Quite sad.
It makes you really think. Miranda had a really good point. There are plenty of people who think that they wouldn't be missed if they died. Or that their life is unimportant. Well what if they were on their way to a job interview that could change their life? What if the company really needed them? What if someone was going to propose to them that day? What if they were meant to do great things? Well I guess they won't know because they really don't care enough about themselves or their family. Cowards.

5:54 pm - Amusing...
|
Well first of all people here in Atlanta can not drive in the rain so what makes them think that they can drive in the snow? I had to work and was stuck there until 8pm. I managed to get home around 10pm. (I drive 30mins from work on a normal day) I spent a good part of that sliding sideways down the road and stopped inches away from another car. No, I was not going fast. I grew up in New Orleans and Jacksonville(FL). I'm the first to admit that I can't drive in the snow. After a small panic attack, I turned around and went(slid) another way. Well home safe and sound and did not go in to work today. I took the day off and hung out with my parents. Mom's office was closed. Dad just took the day off too. So here we are with 7 inches of snow (I measured) on the ground and all I can think is ummm... hello... this is the south.... snow shouldn't be falling here (flurries yes, snow no)Also the city of Atlanta and south got more snow than the mountains did. Yeah that makes sense. Well gonna go back and play with the puppy. (the little shit got tangled in my legs earlier out side an d ran down the hill in my backyard and pulled me over. yeah that was fun. slammed face first in the snow and sliding down a fucking hill.)

1:27 pm - new puppies...fresh snow...
|
gotta love it.... the first snow of the season/year and a new puppy that has to go out at least every two hours. Her first experience was pure joy... however now it's her standing on my feet trying not to let her paws get cold. Bijou however flat out refused to go outside. I think she will hold it until mom comes to walk her. But Sadie has to puts up with it. Fun, fun, fun. I think I got some cute pics of Sadie playing in the snow on the first trip out. Will try to get those posted. To those in N.C.- have fun with the coming snow.
Side note: the funny thing is that Miranda and I had planned a trip up to N.C. for this weekend to try to go skiing but I guess we can just stay here in GA now.
