Another full and busy week!! I am still on the same work schedule, I am trying to fit in the gym five days a week, and I am now starting to do some studying outside of work for my job so I have cut back on going out to fit some of that in!!
After work on Friday a group of co-workers went out to 285 Sports Line for drinks and dinner. We had originally gone as a farewell to a guy who was leaving for another job but he didn't show up so we had fun celebrating without him! Afterwards I went out with Chris, Daniel, Tiffani and Brittani to Eleven50. We spent the rest of the night dancing away!!
This Saturday was my company's Holiday Party which at an art gallery very close to my apartment. It was a really nice to see some of the guys I work with, the same guys who wear jeans everyday, dressed up. We had a lot of fun mingling with all the people from different department who we see around but haven't had the opportunity to talk to before.
After the holiday party Victor, Chris, Tiffani, Daniel, Brittani, Eric, a few other people and I all went downtown to Vision. Tiffani had connections that got us in the VIP section which was really fun!
I haven't been feeling very good the yesterday and today so I have kept it pretty low key. Last night I watched the movie House of Flying Daggers, which was really good! Today I went to the salon, worked out with Victor, and then went to my small group. Now I am relaxing and thinking about going to bed early!!

True Fashion
In my true fashion I spent the past week out and about. Monday after small group was Tongue & Groove, Tuesday was Aiko, Wednesday I watched the Transporter with a friend, Thursday was Mako's, Friday was laundry at Victor's, Saturday my small group got together to play Scene It and watch the Miss America pageant (Miss Georgia came in 2nd) and then a few of us went to East Andrews, and finally yesterday was American Pie and the House.
Also, in between going out I am fitting in work outs and dance classes as well as putting in my days of work!! Since it was an extremely busy week I really slept in today!! I had my small group meeting tonight which was fun as usual! I am now catching up on past episodes of Las Vegas (gotta love DVR)!!

Time is of the Essence...
I am finding out more and more every day how much time is truly a luxury!!! Never enough time to type out my daily life!
First things first...
So, since last updated I was going to tell a little bit more about my family's visit... it was so nice to have them visit me, especially since it was the first time they have visited me in the ATL. We went to all the touristy parts of the city... Coke building, Underground, CNN Center, Piedmont Park, Centennial Olympic Park, Hard Rock Cafe, Lenox and of course a couple of Harley shops! Speaking of shopping, we also went up 400 to the outlets and found some really good deals up there!!
I finally got my TV stand (which was my parent's Christmas gift to me along with some cloths and ornaments for my tree... thank you for the gifts)! It is so nice to have my living room set up!! Woo Hoo!! Along with my living room, they also brought down some antique green chairs for my patio which look perfect out there!! And, for what they called my "apartment warming gift" they got me a coffee maker which was well used while they were here. Finally, I got really lucky in that my dad and brother did some much needed work to my vehicle.
They also got to meet my friends Victor and Chris. Since a lot of the people that I now know and associate with revolve around these two friends I was glad that my family and they got to meet!
The other pretty big event for me was NYE and I had a ton of fun!! Just about everyone that I know ended up in the same place so I got to spend my New Years with my closest friends... Victor, Chris, and Carrie... as well as about 15 to 20 other people that I have gotten to know in the past few months. We went to the opening of a new club called 'House.' Chris knows the owner of the club so we were able to get into VIP so that made it even more fun. House is located in Underground Atlanta which was where the Peach Drop occurs so needless to say it was quite busy. Instead of driving or taking a cab I walked with Victor and Duuna from Victor's house... which was just about a mile but was well worth the hike!! Luckily Chris brought his camera so there were pictures taken and I will be updating them soon to this blog!
In the past week I didn't go out to the clubs at all... since I was out all night for NYE I decided I needed to lie low for at least a week. Instead of going out I went to different friends places or had them over here, we made dinner, and watched movies. Not to brag but I have been told by a few different lately people that my cooking is very good!! It is pretty amazing since most of you know where I started from (and for those who don't know... among many other feats in the kitchen I have started a fire in a microwave, burnt rice krispy treats, and cut my hand so bad making tapioca pudding that I needed surgery).
I also need to brag about the weather that we had here today... I was outside today in a tank top and shorts!! It had to be in the mid-60's at least!! I was so happy with the weather and spend some of my afternoon at Piedmont Park!! The park was absolutely crowded and it was so much fun to see everyone walking their dogs, flying kites, playing sports, having picnics, playing instruments and just enjoying the atmosphere of the day and of the park. I spent the evening with Victor, Kevin, and Oden (Victor's dog) here at my apartment. It was nice because we could leave the balcony door open for Oden to walk in and out of but it didn't make the apartment cold!!
