Day 85 GO DAWGS!

Got off work and drove straight to Atlanta last night. Kelly picked me up from work and we got her bout 1030pm. Today is Marybeth's Worlds Smallest Cocktail party for the GA/FLA game. I have been going to this party for the past 6 or 7 or 8 years, can't remember.  I will try to write later, but right now I have to get in the shower. GO DAWGS!!!

day 84 thursday

going to bed....a girl named rusty asked me to lunch. I got in her car and realized I still had my ear piece in from my desk...oopsy. I am now going to bed

day 86 and 87

I couldn't blog last night because I stayed with Allie and did not have Internet access. SO I am now catching up....I have one piece of good news that stands out....I GOT MY CAR PAYMENT REDUCED!! yay!!! All I had to do was tell them, look I can't afford this payment, I make half as much as I did when I bought the car, therefore I need my car payment to be half the amount, and they gave me as close as they could and I am dancing on the ceiling! It went from $448 to $277!! They just extended my loan, woo hoo, now I can afford rent! My next step is to reduce my health insurance so I can afford gas and then reduce my cell phone so I can afford food....details details....I am on my way!

I went to church last night with Allie. Yes, on Tuesday night, it was supposedly a service that this Baptist church runs on the side that was described to me as my old "Buckhead church", so naturally I was in, I so miss Buckhead church, I mean who doesn't miss a live rock band/ comedy club AKA church. I loved it, it was a place I could go and sing my heart out, because the words were on the screen like a karaoke bar, but at this karaoke church I was most likely crying during 2 out of 3 songs....they were so awesomely moving and to listen to hundreds of others singing with you was beyond moving. There was a couple of times I was crying so hard, people were wondering who the unstable girl was sitting by herself....um yep that was me. So this experience was sorta like it, it was a beginners level of Buckhead Church, it was more like a class than a sermon. The dude had an eraser board behind him and read straight from the Bible, at first I didn't think he was all that, because Andy Stanly is so charismatic and funny and really gets through to everyone, even the people who zone out for a few minutes, he reiterates his message in a way that you still get it, even if you start thinking about what you are going to have for dinner on um Thursday. But, I did take away his message regardless....he said that he often feels angry because he feels out of control, and then Ged chimes in, if you feel out of control, than that would imply that your were once in control and guess what? you are not in control, I am. God is in control, you are not, let Him lead and stop being angry for no reason. Let go and Let God.  That's what I got out of it and I really did enjoy it, I will be back next Tuesday.

So today, I went running in the park after work. It was awesome, gorgeous weather and just went running like I used to (2 months ago) I was jammin out to my MP3 player and Prince's "Gett Off" came on, I was running and off course forgot that no one could hear this music except for me and just had to blurt out my fav part "I like em fat, I like em proud, ya gotta have a motha for me now move your big ass round this way so I can work on that zippa baby" and this bigger lady was standing on the other side of these bushes as I passed by, oooh boy she gave me a look! I just kept running and laughing, I can't believe that just happened, actually I can, its me however....sorry girl, I was just singing! Oh and I would like to give a shout out to Beth Browning, every time I hear that song I think of you!!! Can't wait until you and Stayce come and visit on November 11th! Brandy and I are saving y'all a seat on patio 457! (hey Nena and Amber, if you are reading this, maybe y'all should come too...just saying....

(yes I did go from church talk to Prince speak in one sitting, but I did have two days to make up for)

Day 85...Monday

Today was a good day, worked, realized that the girls are turning against me a work....its weird, we were all cool and then all of sudden they are giving me the cold shoulder, I expect getting the new girl cold shoulder for a few weeks, but they were all nice the second I met them and then BAM,  sudden snob vibes! I told Kelly about it and she immediately asked, are you building relationships with the guys in the office? yep, sure am, well there ya go, she said, instant cattiness. I guess she is right, I am a guy's girl, I like hanging out with them and leaving the drama behind and just being relaxed. Me and my 2 guys I coordinate do talk and crack up all day long in a very quiet office building, so I guess I am perceived as the fun girl with a scene of humor who likes discussing football....sorry girls, I am a cool, don't hate.

So Sarah pointed out that didn't give a follow-up on Brandy's date....here it is in a half-a-nutshell, he LOVED the dress, gave her all kinds of compliments, wined and dined her at the Olive Garden, they had a swell time and now she can take or leave him...she knows that he is Captain Play-Hard-To-Get, but little does he know, Brandy is not interested in chasing boys, because she has back-up...more on that later, my Tylenol PM is kicking in....

Day 84 weekend wrap up

Well that's a wrap on the weekend. I had plans Friday and Saturday and cancelled them to hunker down in the country for some R & R. I decided that until I stabalize I won't be doing a whole lotta socializing, I don't have the energy or the money. I spent the entire day preparing to be in Nashville all week and Atlanta all weekend. I am driving down with Kelly on Friday to go to Marybeth's World Smallest Cocktail party AKA GA/Florida game and then to a costume party. I also cut the grass and went to Wal-mart to buy food for the week. I literally have a cooler that I will keep in my car along with my 2 suitcases, hanging clothes and pretty much all of my belongings. Its an exhausting life but it could be much much worse. Brandy says "it takes an entire village of people to raise our girl" and she is right, (the list of people is endless that contribute one way or another to keep my head above water, so thank you, you know who you are) and then she said that if I weren't funny I would be screwed oh and that I am the villiage idiot....haha I laughed.

I have decided to retire from online dating after this douchebag said some less that gentleman-like-things to me....the things that he said to me were disgusting and I had know idea how to respond, so I gave the reigns to Brandy and let her set him straight. She blasted him over email, giving him the "Mama Brandy taking to" and made him look like an idiot. He responded by telling me he has seen better looking women in a nursing home. ha, whatever loser. I am over it, I am going back to meeting people the old fashion way.

My operation "not get fat" is not working out as planned. So I got fruits and veggies for the week and plan to work out everyday until my thighs stop expanding. I have got to get a routine down somehow. Its hard when you bounce around from location to location everyday and the fact that its dark by 6pm here. Allie and I have started to look for places online so maybe there is a light at the end of my nomad tunnel.

I don't have a lot to report since I basically did a whole lotta nothing this weekend. Brandy and the boys are in bed and its um 840pm....so I am gonna try and go to bed early too...night night.

Day 83.....101

I forget to mention that yesterday was my 100th post....so this blog is dedicated to the 2096 times it has been viewed. wow, thanks for keepin up with me y'all!  If I didn't have my blog to talk to I probably would be in therapy, so big preesh for saving me money that I don't have! I love talking to y'all everyday, seriously, I love that I get to carry on and on and not be interrupted.....awesomeness

I went to Kelly's last night and she wanted me to try on some of her Halloween costumes (she loves Halloween and has lots o costumes) I tried on this corset, I put it on and I turn to Kelly, "I love love love it!" she says, um its backwards and um upside down.....ha! well maybe that's how it should be worn then!

I am now back in Manchester hanging with Brandy, wanted to come home and just chill....we just watched Jersey Shore.. and now I gotta hit the sack!

day 82 victory!

First and foremost, we caught the mouse! He was in the closet stuck to the sticky trap....Brandy found him after I left for work. She said she pulled it off of the trap (he was still alive) and it bit her! Then she placed his sticky butt under a leaf hoping he would be fine. She really didn't want to kill the little guy. The last time Brandy tried to save an animal, it was a chipmunk, and it bit her as well, that was about 12 years ago and at that time she bashed its head in with a rock. So I think its safe to say that Brandy has come a long way....although, she may want to update her shots asap.

2nd, Brandy texted me while I was at work...".Hey girl, if you are looking for your bra, I found it in the driveway" lol, I knew I forgot something....
I am gonna have to talk about Brandy a little longer, for the past 2 days, she has been texting this boy non-stop, like all day and all night... she just sits over in her chair all gooned up, smiling from ear to ear the whole time, its crazy. She went on one date with this guy almost a year ago and it never went anywhere and now they are talking again. Brandy has like blue birds on her shoulder, she is almost skipping instead of walking over this guy. Brandy is usually like what you see is what you get and tough if you don't like it but not for this guy....
 For example, he asked her out for Saturday night and he would like for her to wear a skirt or a dress. Ok well, Brandy does not own a skirt or a dress. She doesn't wear skirts or dresses, she wore a bowling shirt to our Sorority commencement ceremony for crying out loud. So guess what, she went out shopping today for a dress!!! She texted me a pic from the dressing room for my approval. Next, she got a spray tan!!! The same girl who gives me crap about having a tan during winter, got a spray tan today. Finally, she got her nails done, well that's not abnormal but still. Who is this girl and what has she done with my friend?! Brandy said if he stands her up he will be getting an invoice. Go girl, do your thing, be a girl, why the hell not.

At work today, they gave me a wireless ear piece for the phone, OMG, I feel like a badass when I have this thing on. I am strutting around my office and down the hall talking on it like I am a lawyer or something, I act like I am hot stuff and I love it. I feel so comfortable at work, I am totally myself and actually make things happen. I was feeling all cool with my ear piece in until I forgot I had it in and picked up the phone to call someone in one ear and the ear piece was in the other, of course Fred was looking right at me when I did this...I can't get away with anything....he had a little chuckle. 

I would like to give a shout out to my Uncle Jim, I just got off the phone with him. (my dads bother) He just started reading my blog and says that I have the Baswell DNA, the Gypsy gene, my Granny had it, my dad has it, he has it and I have it. This is true, none of us can sit still, thanks guys. We have an appointment tomorrow at lunch to talk on the phone more, he said it is about time he gets to know his niece. We haven't exactly kept in touch like family should, so that stops right now.

Ok well, I  am gonna go out to my car and figure out what I am gonna wear tomorrow.....
