AHHH - I found out last night that I missed Julie and Brittany in town this weekend!! I need to get better at checking my voicemail messages! I guess they decided on Friday to come to Atlanta to check out some colleges for Brittany. I had my phone by me all weekend but had it on vibrate so I never heard it ring. I am so disappointed that I missed them!!
I watched the Academy Awards (Oscars) last night. I love watching the award shows to see all pretty dresses! I was crazy and stayed up to watch the very end. I am now sleepy this morning... oh well, its Monday so I would be sleepy anyway!

Fabulous!
So yesterday I wanted to go downtown to a place called Fatburger that a friend of mine from work told me about. She told me it is the best burger in the ATL. So, I looked up the address and drove my 2 roommates down with me. We drove down the whole street and didn't find the restaurant. So, since we were on the other side of ATL we decided to go to Manual's Tavern. It is a political pub that one of my roommates used to go to when he lived down here before. I ended up eating a burger and it was very good! Afterward we went to a fast food restaurant and got a vanilla ice cream cone... they have the best ice cream cones ever!! Don't remember the name of the place though. On the drive back home we went down the same street and on the way back we did see the Fatburger restaurant... it was really on another street and from the direction that we first came from there was absolutely no way to see it. Oh well, we will know for next time now.
It looks like a friend that we all used to work with is coming down today... they have work training and it will be right by where I work so it will be cool to see them. Since they will be in town for the week I have decided to get myself started packing this weekend for my Florida trip... so right now I am doing laundry (how exciting, right).
I am also watching MTV Cribs... and the last place they just showed was a guy's island. It was very cool!! Everything so tropical... Fabulous!

Ok... so only 2 more days until I transfer to the new job. I am getting excited although I am a little nervous! But... in a week I will be in FLORIDA!! I am so ready to see family, lay on the beach, and enjoy some time off!!
I went to the allergist on Wednesday expecting to have all the routine pokes and whatnot that help determine exactly what my allergies are but nope... it was a preliminary visit... it would have made me very upset but the weather on Wednesday was sunny, beautiful, and over 70 degrees so it was a perfect day to have a half day off!
Also on Wednesday I applied for my passport. I have been asking around and some people were saying that I need it... others were saying that I just need my birth certificate and a drivers license. I decided to play it safe and get the passport. It is so easy to get... just grabbed the forms from online, filled them out, went to the post office, got my picture taken there and the passport will be sent to me within 6 weeks.

Crazy Weather!!
Oh my, oh my. The weather down here has been crazy!! Yesterday it was in the 70's (loving that)... during the day it was very foggy and rainy. Then, as I was getting out of work the sun came out, the clouds were gone and it was beautiful... so I went for a run! Shortly after my run my roommates and I went to Barnes & Noble and as we were leaving the bookstore the tornado sirens starting going off!! The sky got very black and all over the Atl there was thunderstorms and hail. At that point I got really nervous... we were outside as all this was happening. Luckily though nothing too terrible happened and looking outside right now it is absolutely gorgeous again!! It is supposed to get up to 70 degrees again today!!
I found out what my new work hours are going to be for my new job... once I have been trained I will be working 10am - 7pm. Not as great at my 8am - 5pm shift but I am now the new person again so I will work my way back to the better hours! With the new locations opening (we are opening in Chicago right now and soon somewhere in California) I am thinking there will be more positions opening and then I can get a better shift.
I think tonight I may be going out for sushi again tonight... I am looking forward to trying it again. I had a lot of fun last time!! I will have to try to get back onto the blog again sometime this week to update (much harder when I am training someone and they have control of the computer... but oh well).
Looking forward to seeing my family in FLORIDA soon!!!

f-r-i-d-a-y
Gotta love Friday!! Nice to have a few days away from work!! Big plans?? Not really, may go watch a movie tomorrow but nothing definite yet. Just relax for a few days.
The count down is beginning to the new job. I am getting excited for the change but I know I will miss everyone that I have been working with at my current job. Hopefully there will be a similar friendly group down there because it make the work day so much more enjoyable!
A new update to the blog, Mikey and Amy have started a new blog and I have put a link on the side. Love the blogging… it is an excellent way to keep up with all that is going on!! I love seeing all the pictures too (I know, I haven’t updated my pictures in a while either... need to get some new ones). As far as pictures go, I am hoping that soon we will be able to go hiking again. It is so much fun and it should be warm enough very soon.
I just found out recently that my best friend from high school is getting married in Jamaica in May so I may be going to her wedding!! I have started getting all my information together to get a passport but I don’t know if I really need one to go to Jamaica... I have been told that I do and that I don’t. Better to be safe than sorry I guess. I have never been any place outside of the eastern section of North America so I am so looking forward to going… it will all depend on if I can get the time off from my new job... I am so hoping so though!
Also, I just got tickets to Theater of the Stars!! I am so excited!!!! What is it?? Well, it is tickets for 6 different shows that will be playing at the Fox Theater. Take a look at the link for all the shows... I am excited for all shows but the one I am most excited for is the last show… the Radio City Christmas Spectacular!!!! I didn’t get to go last year and I was a little sad but I am so excited I will get to see it again this year (although, most of the last times I get to see my cousin in the production I don’t think she will be in the one in Atlanta this year).
Have a great weekend!!

hello!
Hope everyone has been having a great Valentines week!! I got some beautiful Tulips for Valentines Day. I was very excited!! They were delivered to me at work on Monday and I have left them at work so I can stare at them all day long.
Also at work I have been training someone to take over my position so I have been quite busy (and have been unable to update my blog). To go along with the changes they have decided to move people around here in tier 1 tech support so my desk moved (the guy I am training will be taking over so the move essentially was for him) so I spent about half the afternoon today taking apart, moving, and setting up my worksstation.
It has been foggy here this past week but very warm... I was able to go for a run outside yesterday and I am planning on doing the same thing today! I love this weather!

Funnies
Uncle Mike sent me some emails and I found some of the quotes in them to be funny... instead of forwarding on the emails I thought I would just put some of them in here:
Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God. Looking up, he asks the Lord. . . "God, what does a million years mean to you?" The Lord replies, "A minute." Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?" The Lord replies, "A penny." Smith asks," Can I have a penny?" The Lord replies, "In a minute".
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Check this out... very cute video!
Enjoy!

busy, busy, busy...
and its only going to get busier! The next month is going to be so much fun!! Looking at my calendar Paul will be visiting us in 2 weeks and then Davis will be down here right after him and then I will be going to Florida. All of us in the house used to work with both Paul and Davis at Northwood and I am so excited to be seeing them again!
I (finally) got myself an allergy appointment for February 23! I waited too long because my allergy medication will be gone before then... I have already cut back in the amount of medication that I take and I am already feeling sick but I know it is just allergies. And, since it will be a new doctor they want me to do the initial testing (which I haven't done in a few years so it will be good to know again what all I am allergic to) so I will have to have my back pricked and poked at.

what a difference a week makes
The weather here this weekend is fabulous!! We actually have the window open and I am not cold! Crazy how we can go from last weekend's ice storm to such beautiful weather this weekend but I am not complaining!
Last night a group of us went out to a restaurant called Fuji Hana which is famous for its sushi. It was my first experience with sushi and I have to admit that amazingly I really did like it. People were warning me before hand that it is an acquired taste and I was really expecting to hate it... but the taste and the texture really wasn't bad. Granted there were people there who have grown up on sushi so they were able to help me pick out the types of sushi that is good for beginners but it is something that I will defiantly do again.

VW Commercial
Ok... I found this on Justin's blog (is linked under the 'Friends' section) and I laughed... I don't have speakers on my computer at work so I don't know if there is any sound clip with the commercial but it still was funny.
Gym
So, I think I have gotten back into a gym routine. I am generally going about 3 times a week to the gym provided by my company. It is small and I had been thinking about getting a membership to a bigger gym but I changed my mind. The gym I wanted to go to had a swimming pool and basketball court but it is a tad out of my way (i.e. not between work and home) but the guys found a gym really close to the house that they like (it doesn't have a pool or court) that they are going to. It has a lot of good things for them with the heavier weights but everything I need and everything that I would use if I went to that gym is already at the free gym. So, why pay? And, if I want a change I can always run outside (well, not today - cold and raining) and we do have some dumbbells at home that are perfect for me. But it is nice that we are all going to a gym... and then all very tired in the evening!
