Strep

Well, since the last time I have posted I have pretty much been sleeping!! Why?? Well, I started not feeling very good on Tuesday morning and by Tuesday evening I knew I was sick. I took Wednesday off but just kept feeling worse. When I felt even worse on Thursday morning I went to the doctor who informed me that I have strep. She gave me a shot and sent me home. I slept on Thursday, then on Friday, and was feeling well enough to work on Saturday. I felt even better on Sunday so I went to church and I felt back to normal on Monday (I was so happy) and I went to my small group. Then, about 10:30 or 11:00pm on Monday I started feeling worse! Tuesday I felt worse again and by yesterday the illness was back in full force. I called my doctor who prescribed me some antibiotics and I have been pretty much sleeping since then!! I am feeling a little bit better, my throat doesn't feel swollen shut, but I can barely keep my eyes open. Its about time for me to go back to bed!!

Johnny's Hideaway

The Pistons lost?!?!? Say what?!?!? They actually lost by 1 point. I was so disappointed... I was so ready to make tease everyone after the game that 'my team' won. Instead EVERYONE made fun of ME!! Terrible. But, I had so much fun at the game. We were not courtside but we were very close. We had a lot of fun cheering, talking, and teasing each other!!

On Thursday night I got together again with Amy and Carrie. We ordered a pizza and watched Napoleon Dynamite!! Only the best video ever... gosh!

Then on Friday the three of us plus Amy's friend Jennifer meet up with Christina (another girl from our small group), her beau and their friends at Johnny's Hideaway. Johnny's is a dance club for, um, established adults. The average age of the customers is about 55 and there are a few rules to the club - no music post-1990 (which they actually broke a few time for Madonna) and no drinking or smoking on the dance floor (which the dj had to remind a few people a couple of times). Needless to say I was quite skeptical at first. But, it didn't take 5 minutes and I was being asked to dance. I had fun dancing with random guys of different age groups through out the night!! And, Aunt Dawn would love this, they played Copacabana by Barry Manilow and I sang the entire song!!! SWEET! They also played a lot of Frank Sinatra, which I loved! It was a TON of fun and a huge change from the normal Atlanta club scene. Amy's friend is having a birthday party there in a couple of weeks so I may be going back soon.

Unfortunately I had to get up for work on Saturday and I stayed out way too late on Friday night. I drank a ton of coffee to keep myself awake. Then on Saturday night I went to Vic's house with Victor (yes, they are 2 different guys) and the three of us ate dinner, drank wine, and then tried to watch a movie. I say tried to because as soon as we put the movie in each of us passed out!! But, Vic is an extremely fun friend of my friend Victor who I have hung out with a few times. You can see a picture of him on the pictures from Victor's birthday.

Then on Sunday Victor went with me to Buckhead Church and we met up with Carrie. It was so nice to have a group of friends to sit with at church! After church I we stopped by Chris's apartment to drop off a belt that I had borrowed from Tiffany. Afterwards I met up with a new friend of mine, Enyinna, and we watched the movie Four Brothers and ate dinner at Jack & Jills. Jack & Jill's is a sports bar chain that is all over Atlanta but I had not been to one until last night. I met Enyinna about a month ago at Tongue & Groove.

Today is going to be errand day and then I will meet up with my small group later tonight.

Pistons!!!

I still am not feeling the greatest... not sick, not well but something in between. Everyone down here seems to be on the edge of a cold/flu... probably because of the constant change in weather!! But, for me, its been just enough to slow me down a little bit.

Once again this week I kept my going out to a minimum... I actually only went out on Saturday but had a ton of fun!! I went out with John and Heather to Compound. I have only been there a few time but I have fun each time I go. I also ran into a friend that I had lost touch with there so it was fun to catch up a little bit!

Generally on Mondays we have small group but we do not meet on the first Monday of each month so instead Carrie, Amy and I met up to watch the movie In Her Shoes and to eat dinner. We had a ton of fun together and decided that we must do this more often!!

The rest of the week has been the usual work, workout, study. But, as my title states... I am going out tonight to watch the PISTONS!!! They are playing the Hawks tonight and Alex, a friend of Victor's, works as a accountant for Phillips arena so he got us tickets to watch the game. From what Victor has told me we are on the floor!! I am very excited!
