Day 72 lazy sunday

Ok came face to face with the guy I tried to drown. Yes, me and Brandy hung out with Justin and Dug yesterday. He apparently has forgiven me and we are all friends again. The foursome is back! We had so much fun on the farm. We didn't sit still for one second. If we werent riding on the gator and/or golf cart, we were hanging by a huge fire on Justin's property, or playing darts, or cooking chili dogs or playing charades. The country simpletons have never played charades EVER so it was quite an interesting event to say the least. We all wrote something on little pieces of paper, had to draw a piece of paper and act it out, one of mine was the movie "Tombstone" and Justin drew it BUT he thought it said TomTumb, so we spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out why Justin was making sounds like a Donkey (cause his Mule's name is Tom)but had a good laugh when we figured out what was going on. We met Justin's new baby mule and got a tour of his new property. He is now a homeowner on 5 acres, not to shabby of a trade off for having your house burn down when he was in Atlanta visiting me. Yep his house burnt down to the ground while he was away (electrical fire) and got an awesome fully furnished house out of it. Right before we left, Justin wanted us to see his "beach" he said he had beach front property in Tennessee, which turned out to be a picnic table in front of a creek layered with green gunk, ha, Brandy almost took a tumble in this small body of water. She and Dug were straddling the bench facing each other as we all talked, and Dug got up, Brandy shifted her weight and the end of the bench came flying up, it almost hit Brandy in the face and she almost tumbled backward into the creek, it was hilarious. She caught herself, but her face was priceless

 So all in all, we had a good time and it was perfect weather. So now I am trying to relax but I really need to get ready for tomorrow. My first day of work. YAY

Day 71 end of first chapter in TN

So I just got home after my last double shift at the Brewery. I said good-bye to all my peeps and told everyone except my boss to not expect me in the morning. It was cool meeting all those people and I am sure I will hang out with them again. Mike D and I had fun all day, he gave me a kiss on the cheek and he was on his way. We have plans to hang out on the 30th and watch the Steelers play the Pats...so that will be something to look forward to. I am going to bed now, I have a big day tomorrow, gotta get ready for the farm and all and I have to catch up on some much needed sleep. Good night!

Dat 70

I gave my notice to Blackstone today. I asked if it was enough notice to go ahead and start my new gig on Monday. All he has to do is not put me on the schedule next week, done and done. But no, he says he needs a full 2 weeks notice. HA. Whatever, I am trying to do the right thing and give you notice and now you are forcing me to just not show up. Get a clue, I have been here for 2 months, I think 4 days notice is sufficient. So I am just not going to show up Saturday and instead have a weekend off before I start on Monday. I went and turned in my stuff to margaritaville after work and told them I would not be training and they were totally cool.

So Saturday, Brandy and I are going to the farm to visit Doug and Justin and go on a gator/golf cart ride...we are gonna try and make it a night like we used to have on the farm, just simple clean farm fun. Hopefully we can recreate that kinda awesomeness, we shall see.
(They don't know that I am going to insist that we watch the TN/GA game before going on the Gator....)

I just got done cleaning out my purse. I recently laid it in a sink at a public restroom and it was open and the faucet was automatic, so the water automatically turned on right in my purse. Yea, there was a good 1/2 inch of water at the bottom of my purse, awesome.

I am excited about my last double tomorrow, 12 hours of serving the people of Nashville, maybe Keith Urban will come in this time, I hear he frequents the area.

All of my friends at Blackstone are so happy for me, I am so fortunate to have already made friends who care about my well being. Thanks guys!

Ok thats that, Dexter is calling my name............

day 69 drum role please....

So I am not going to beat around the bush, I am just gonna cut to the chase and get right down to the point that the bottom line is.....I got a job today!! YAY me!

I got the job, with the Restoration company in Nashville!! This is the guy that I met out one night and he happened to be the General Manager for this company called Servepro (yes the same guy I randomly told that I tried to drown someone once) ooops. But who cares he hired me anyway!!! I get to be a big girl again and quit waiting tables yeehaw!

And Blake Shelton struts into Blackstone today!!! Only the hottest singer in Country Music!! Today is tripping me out! That will be the only thing that I will miss about waiting tables, running into random famous people while trying to act cool (that and Mike D of course)

I start Monday morning, so first things first, learn all the things that I said I knew how to do in the interview. I am firm believer in "fakin it til you make it", so first order of business learn Excel....better get to work.

The one draw back is its an office job, I am not used to sitting behind a desk all day. Hopefully I won't get too fat sitting on my hind end instead of running around in my Shape-ups. But who cares, I get my weekends back to watch football and visit Atlanta yay!

Ok so lets review, I moved to TN on July 15th. Got a job at Blackstone waiting tables, then got another job at Margaritaville, and BAM got a big girl job on 10/5/11 and now I won't have to work those two jobs at once. 2 1/2 months to find some direction, not to shabby. Thank you Brandy, without you I wouldn't of had a roof over my head so I could "make a way out of no way" like you told me to do. And now we move onto "operation get my own room" one with a door and everything.

Ok, I must start relaxing and Dexter is calling my name!

day 68 part 2...

Today was a good day...had a 4 hour orientation at Margaritaville, I am gonna like it there! Its gonna be like working at a carnival, music everywhere and all kinds of fun ooozzing out of this place!

I just left Blackstone and the kitchen guy "popcorn" says we gonna have to get you a phonebooth girl!

why I ask....so I will stop seeing you change in your car! aaaaahhhh! you saw me? he said yea, but nothin I haven't seen before...hahahaha,,,so I tell a few people what he said. and they are all like yea, I saw you the the other day, and yea I saw you today. aaaahhh!! oh no!

ok gotta go, Max is here and we are just friends BTW

day 68 orientation

Just got up, slept for 10 hours, that was nice. About to head back up to Nashville for orientation at my new job, Margaritaville, then I go into work at the other place at 3pm. Here is where it gets tricky. I get to train at the new place around the hours of the old place, so basically I will be working around the clock for the next couple of weeks. wooohoooo.

Marybeth asked if I huffed gas before I started writing my blogs, due to my grammatical and spelling errors being all horrendous and stuff :) Ha, I am guessing its not going to get any better due to the lack of sleep and all. Once I get a big girl job, I will revisit the basics on punctuation, subject/verb agreement and overall realization that certain words, although maybe be spelled the same and/or slightly different don't always mean the same thing. But for now, just muscle through it, as Brandy says she does when she reads it.

That is all for now folks, I will have a couple of hours to spare this afternoon in between stuff, so today will have a part two....I know you all will be on the edge of your seeeets :)

day 67 back in Manchester

Just to Brandy's, I have been on the road all week, so its nice to chill for a moment. Working around the clock and is down right exhausting. We played 20 questions all day at work, that should explain how busy we were. I am done with this place, I do way too much standing around for it to be worth my while. I am excited to get to a place with some atmosphere. Mike D and I are heading to Margaritaville and I am pumped .Allie made over $300 yesterday. We all give each other massages at work and it was my turn, so I was rubbing Mike D's shoulders and he turned to me and said "I would never sleep with your cousin" and that just warmed my heart. He calls me his boo. But we are just goofing around, he is my buddy, nothing more.

today I was eating my lunch with some folks and Kathleen comes storming in, Stephanie did you leave the empty coffee pot on the burner without any coffee in it? I was like why are you assuming it was me?? Cause you do stupid stuff all the time and its smells like you. (she was laughing when she said it) So I got all offended. Ok well it was me, so what, I forgot, so sue me :) But I never admitted it. Oh good Margaritaville just called I have orientation on Tuesday!! yay!

I really hope I get this job with the restoration company, I am ready for a big girl job. I am ready to have my weekends back and watch some football. Today I am watched the Dawgs beat up on Miss St. in silence, no one cares about the Dawgs at work and the sound is not even on...booo!!

BTW, what happened to the Braves?? They just collapsed!

I am so tired, hopefully my juices will be flowing tomorrow cause that is all I got for now. I am waiting on Brandy to get from dinner with family...
