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!

Holiday Party
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!!

Compound
Oh my goodness... the hardest part about going 2 weeks between blogs is I have to think so hard as to what I did the week before!! I have been sitting here for about 30 minutes trying to get my thoughts together as to what all I did!!
On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays I have a pretty good routine going. Monday is spent in dance class and with my small group. Tuesdays I go to Aiko with Chris and the past two weeks we met up with Micah and Tory as well as a few other people. The normal Wednesday routine is Mako's and Tongue & Groove.
Last Friday I went out with Carrie to Moondogs and Hole in the Wall. For a while that was the place we were hanging out but we hadn't been there in about two months. It was definitely interesting because there were a ton of Santa Clauses there and a lot of them wanted to talk with Carrie and me. It was very funny being surrounded by men in red suits!!
Last Saturday after work I met up with Chris and Daniel to go out to Moondogs and then Mako's. Some of Daniel's friends came out with us as well. One of his friends was Brooke. We were both quite tired that night so instead of dancing and her and I had a lot of fun hanging out and chatting.
On Sunday Victor got us tickets from a friend, Alex, to a Thrashers hockey game so he, Carrie, Victor (friend of my friend Victor - the same guy that is in the birthday pictures from Victor's birthday - confusing right :) ) and I met up with Alex and a friend of his at the Phillip's Arena. Alex works at the CNN Center which is a part of Phillip's Arena and he is able to get tickets to any game that he wants to. We had really good seats behind the goal. There was a lot of good fights and the game went to a shoot out in overtime. We had a lot of fun!!
This past week I have taken off from work. I had extra days and if I don't take them before the end of the year I lose them. So, Tuesday afternoon I went with my friend Brian to the new aquarium that was built here in Atlanta. The aquarium is absolutely beautiful!! It was a ton of fun to see all of the different fish from around the world. I was much more impressed than I thought I would have been!!
Wednesday this week was a little different than my normal. Chris came over and I made us some dinner and then we watched Nip/Tuck. I taped it using my DVR from the night before which is the best because I can fast forward the commercials!! It was the first time that I had watched the show but I Chris had watched it a few times before so he was able to explain the show to me... I am now hooked! After dinner we met up with Micah at Fox Sports Grill in then new Atlantic Station. Micah works there so we met up with him as he finished work and then he and Chris played pool until Tory showed up and then we went to our usual spots. Afterwards we went to a diner on 10th Street which ended up being quite interesting and a TON of drama. Chris's friend Rachel and her friend Celeste came with us and their personalities and Tory's personality collided. Their 'discussion' became so heated that all of the diner's staff were watching and at one point Micah and I ended up walking away from the table.
Thursday night Chris, Micah and I went to a Churchill Grounds, a jazz club right next to the Fox Theater. I LOVED IT!!! I will definitely go back there again! I have been waiting to go to a jazz club since I moved down. This one is in a beautiful old bar and the music was fabulous! Micah used to work there and says that some of the best jazz musicians go thru there. I can't wait to go back! After the jazz club we ended up back at Mako's. Chris and Micah know a lot of the people that work there so we always end up talking with everyone so now I am getting to know all the people that work there too!
On Friday Carrie and I went to a bar I hadn't been to before, East Andrews. The crowd here is a little more up scale than the places that I normally go but it was a refreshing change. I got a little more dressed up than usual and we had a blast!! We danced and I met someone who was from the Detroit area and had just moved down. He had gone to Central Michigan and had been to Bay City a few times so that was interesting. I also met a guy who could really dance so I had a lot of fun twirling around the dance floor with him!
On Saturday I took Carrie to Compound. She hadn't been there before and I hadn't been there in about five months. It is rated as the best night club in Atlanta and it was a lot of fun. Once again we met someone from Michigan... this guy was from Flint. He and Carrie hit it off pretty well and she spent most of the night talking with him. I had fun talking and dancing with the rest of his friend!! BUT, the most interesting part of the night was who else was there... Jesse Metcalf !!! I loved him when he played Miguel on the soap opera Passions but he is best know as the gardener on Desperate Housewives. And, to me he is just a beautiful in person as on TV!! Terrell Owens and his group was in the club as well and he said hi to me... it was cute!
Since I had all the time off I have been able to get some Christmas shopping in as well as run some errands and managed to find a little bit of time to relax! Today I am doing laundry at Victor's house. The next few days will be spend getting ready for my parents and brother to come into town!! I am very excited and can't wait to see them. They should be in sometime early Wednesday morning.

Christmas Spectacular
Since I last blogged I have had some more fun... no celebrity sighting though... well, maybe...
On Friday night Carrie and I took a cab to Eleven50. We started talking to our cab driver and found out he used to be an aspiring actor. He was an extra in quite a few movies, tv shows, and commercials.
We met up with Victor once we got to Eleven50. We had a lot of fun chatting with each other (it was the first time Victor and Carrie met), chatting with the people around us, and of course DANCING!! After Eleven50 Carrie and I walked over to Twisted Taco and met up with a friend of hers, Jose, who drove us back to my place.
After work on Saturday I went met up with a friend of mine from work, his wife and their friends at Vision. I had met his wife a couple of times before and she is a lot of fun so it was great to see her again and meet some of her friends. We ended up at one of their friend's house so I was out much too late that night!!
On Sunday I got up and went to brunch with my small group. One of the girls from the group, Mary Grace, was baptized at the 1:00pm service so those of us who could met up for brunch beforehand. Generally when I go to church I go by myself so it was nice to go with a group of friends and it was fabulous to watch a friend get baptized!
After church I decided to attend the last show of the season for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. I hadn't purchased a ticket so I was hoping that there would be a seat available. Lucky for me I found a free parking spot behind the theater and then once in line for a ticket a lady walked by and handed me a ticket!! She said that they had an extra one and let me have it! I sat next to them during the show and found that she was there with a group of women who work together having a ladies day out. The show was fabulous, as always, and I had a ton of fun!!
I started taking a dance class last week and I take the class every Monday and Tuesday (since they are my off days). The classes I am currently taking are beginning jazz and beginning hip-hop. Tomorrow I will start taking an introduction to dance series which should help with the memorization and the understanding of dance moves. I am very excited about the class!!
Well, I am in the middle of making dinner which my friend Victor is stopping by for in a little bit so I better get back to cooking!!
On Friday night Carrie and I took a cab to Eleven50. We started talking to our cab driver and found out he used to be an aspiring actor. He was an extra in quite a few movies, tv shows, and commercials.

We ended up at one of their friend's house so I was out much too late that night!!
On Sunday I got up and went to brunch with my small group. One of the girls from the group, Mary Grace, was baptized at the 1:00pm service so those of us who could met up for brunch beforehand. Generally when I go to church I go by myself so it was nice to go with a group of friends and it was fabulous to watch a friend get baptized!
After church I decided to attend the last show of the season for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. I hadn't purchased a ticket so I was hoping that there would be a seat available. Lucky for me I found a free parking spot behind the theater and then once in line for a ticket a lady walked by and handed me a ticket!! She said that they had an extra one and let me have it! I sat next to them during the show and found that she was there with a group of women who work together having a ladies day out. The show was fabulous, as always, and I had a ton of fun!!
I started taking a dance class last week and I take the class every Monday and Tuesday (since they are my off days). The classes I am currently taking are beginning jazz and beginning hip-hop. Tomorrow I will start taking an introduction to dance series which should help with the memorization and the understanding of dance moves. I am very excited about the class!!
Well, I am in the middle of making dinner which my friend Victor is stopping by for in a little bit so I better get back to cooking!!

Jack Rabbit
Ohh my last week has been quite interesting... here is a quick synopsis!!
On Monday I had the girls over from my small group to my apartment. It was our regular meeting that we normally have but this time it was at my place. Made the drive very nice!!
Then Tuesday was back at Aiko for Chris and me. This time Carrie came with us and spent some time on the dance floor with us!! Carrie took some pictures of the event so when they are developed I will add them to the blog.
Wednesday night I met up with Chris in Buckhead. Tory was also out and we started the night at Mako's but Chris found out that Brooke Burke was at Tongue & Groove and wanted to see her, which was fine for me because that is probably my favorite club on that street (there is a group of about 5-10 clubs all within a city block of each other). I didn't know who she was at the time but after seeing her I did recognize her from the E! channel entertainment shows. Tory ran into a few other people at Mako's that he knew so Chris and I went headed over to Tongue & Groove and started talking with people outside the bar.
We were standing there carrying on conversations with a few people when a line of about 5 SUVs drives up. One guy got out of the first one, said something to the owner of the club next to us, and then all the doors to every SUV flies open. Out of one of them steps Charles Barkley and Josh Lucas!!! I was definitely star struck!! I really liked Charles Barkley when he played for the Suns!! And Josh Lucas is very cute... loved him in Sweet Home Alabama!!
Once inside Tongue & Groove we met up with Mika and danced a little bit before heading back to Mako's. We were just playing around in Mako's when one of Mika's friends comes down and said that Shaquille O'Neal was going to be in Jack Rabbit (which was where Charles Barkley and his entourage were) and she really wanted to see him. So we all headed back down the street and were standing outside (which was pretty chilly) when we ran into a few more people that we knew and someone out of the group knew someone in the club that was able to get us in. Although Shaq never did end up there we had a lot of fun inside and Charles did walk by us a few times and once bumped into Chris!! For a girl from a small town with no celebrities siting it was pretty exciting!!
Tonight I went out to dinner with a friend of mine from work before heading out to Halo with Victor. We had a lot of fun people watching but it is now time for me to go to bed. Hope you all had an exciting week as well!!

So its been a month...
OH MY... A WHOLE MONTH!! It has been a whole month since my last update... how terrible!! But it has been such a busy month that I haven't had enough time to even type.
Work has been going well. I am now on a new schedule so I am working Wednesday thru Saturday. That has been a challenge getting used to since no one else is free on Monday and Tuesday. It has been difficult getting used to but have been able to keep myself busy.
A few weeks ago I went back to Michigan for the Engelhardt family Christmas party!! We had a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone!! I have a link to the pictures on the side to check out if you have a minute.
I also have added some pictures as well from Victor's birthday party. Only a couple of the pictures actually turned out so I have added them in the main Picture link. They are in their own folder so check those out as well!! Victor is sitting to my right in each picture.
Other than that I have been keeping very busy with my friends. I have been lucky enough to be able to go out almost every night with them!! One of the highlights from the last month was going to Club Vision downtown Atlanta. Almost all of my friends were there together (there were about 30 of us in the group) because my friend Chris was able to get everyone into the VIP section so of course everyone wanted to go!! There are a few sections that are considered VIP in Vision but this is one that I had not known about until I got to go there!! It was actually above the dance floor and we were able to see a good majority of the club from up there (it is huge)!! We had a ton of fun dancing the night away on the main dance floor and up in the VIP section!!
Also in the past week I was able to go to a few other new places. One place I went to is called Famous and it is a sports bar close to my apartment. Chris, Daniel, and I met a few other girls at the bar. They played some pool and we all watched the football game that was on Monday night. On Wednesday, Tory, Chris and a few other guys and I all ended up at Mako's and had a lot of fun dancing. We had been there before and it is one of Chris's favorite places to go in Buckhead. On Thursday Victor and I went to Wetbar and then to Sutra and we socialized for the night. We had a lot of fun people watching!! Friday I ended up south of town at a new bar called Sauce. I went with Tory who is doing promotions for this bar. It has only been open for a few weeks and they are trying to make it more of a martini or a laid back bar instead of a dance bar but they have a very good DJ so there is a lot of good music playing.
But, before last week... it was too far back and I couldn't even begin to remember what I have been up to!! I will try to keep this better updated... at least more than once a month!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

double-0 7
This week has been quite relaxing as far as my standards have been!! On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I worked and then went to LA Fitness to work out. I am just getting used to the schedule with a workout routine in it again so I have been quite sleepy lately! After working out I am generally hungry so I eat and then relax for a little bit before going to bed.
On Friday I did go out again. I went with Carrie and her friend Charlie. We went first to the Cosmopolitan and Lava Lounge. We were only there for a short while but it was very interesting. It is two different buildings that you can walk between so its two bars in one. There were a few different dance floors (none of which we danced on since we left before the dancing really began) and quite a few lounge areas. It is definitely a place I would go back to.
After that we met up with another friend of Carrie's and went to Leopard Lounge for drink. Although it was very cute (in a martini lounge feel) there was almost no one in the bar so we only stayed for a few minutes. During that time though I had to use the restroom and in my hunt for the restroom I found the empty dance floor. I was able to talk Carrie and Charlie into dancing for a few songs and we had a lot of fun being the only people dancing!! Once a creepy guy got onto the floor and tried to dance with Carrie and I we had to leave.
Onto the next bar... we then went to Twisted Taco. I thought, with Taco in the name, that it may be a restaurant as well but there was no one eating!! It was a very small bar that was very packed but I did enjoy it as much as other places that I have been. There was no real reason why, I just didn't feel the vibe of this place. After a few hours in the bar Carrie got tired so we all left for the night.
Yesterday I woke up and went to the Saturday brunch that the apartment complex hosts. I have only been to a few and this one was the most packed. Usually I am the only one that shows up but there were quite a few people eating and talking. I started a conversation with one lady and found out that the Dillard's just opened down the road from where I live and she had been there for the grand opening so she told me all about it. She also let me know that there are quite a few other shops that have opened around it as well.
After my brunch conversation I went back to my apartment to clean and watch the University of Michigan football game (woo hoo... winning in overtime!!). I am hoping that I will be getting my couch sometime in the next week and wanted everything to be clean and ready!! I am keeping my fingers crossed.
In the evening I went over to Victor's to do some laundry and he made dinner. While cooking we watched a James Bond movie. Well, actually, watched is a very strong word. After eating we both fell asleep with the movie on and it was probably on 9:00pm!! What woke me up was the beep of the dryer telling me my laundry was done. I looked over to the chair Victor had been on and he was gone. I found him sleeping in his bed!! I though... 'Oh, do we seem old!!' After packing up my laundry I hit the grocery store on my way home. I then relaxed in my apartment before going to sleep!!
Today was a great day!! The weather man reported that we are having a cold front thru this evening but today was beautiful!! I went to the gym when I woke up to get a good exercise in. I then went to JIMMY JOHNS to get myself a sub!! I am so excited they are now in Atlanta!! After eating and cleaning myself up I went to church. It is an amazing church and if you ever want to see sermon you can actually watch them online!!
After church Victor and I met up and went to the Dillard's that the lady had told me about yesterday. There was actually some cute shops around the area but they make you pay to park!! It is the shopping complex's parking garage but they still want to charge you to pay! Victor and I were a little upset about that but most of the shops are also found in malls very close to this complex that don't charge for parking so I will probably not end up there much but it was fun to see.

Visions
I had a fabulous weekend!! It started on Friday after work...
I left work right on time (yes!!), went home, cleaned up, ate some dinner, and then headed to Chris and Daniel's apartment. We hung around their place for a little while before going out to what has become our 'normal' hang out, Moondogs and Hole in the Wall. We met up with a girl from my work while we were there which was nice and then we danced the night away. As always we had a lot of fun and I am now starting to run into people I have met in weekends past... does that mean I hang out there too often??? Either way, we left this time before closing because Chris had to work the next morning. He is on a new shift since he is the new guy in my department at work and is now working the weekends.
Saturday a whole group of us went out to celebrate Victor's birthday (his actual birth date was Sunday but we technically celebrated on Sunday too since we were out past midnight... hehe). We started out at a very nice restaurant called Two Urban Licks. It is owned by the same people who own One Midtown Kitchen and Pie Bar (which is where we went for my birthday). The atmosphere was fabulous and the food was delicious!! We sat outside, kind of. There was a patio section that was surrounded by walls but there was an open ceiling. It is hard to explain but it is very pretty in person.
After Two we went to Stool Pigeons, a sports bar located downtown, where we met up with some more people to celebrate. This sports bar is much nicer than the Three Dollar Cafe that we normally go to on Mondays so we may end up changing our venue to here.
The next stop was a quick dog run at Victor's so that his Rottweiler could go for a bathroom break.
After the quick stop we headed out to Vision night club which is also located downtown. It has just been redone and reopened in the last few months. This is another club that I had not been to since I have been down here but will definitely have to go back sometime. It looks fabulous and it is huge!! There were four separate dance floors and by midnight they were all packed!!
When all of the dancing ended there were only three people still standing: Victor, me and Victor's friend Victor. The three of us then went out to Landmark Diner and had a food break. Personally I think the Waffle House tastes better but I was not the driver so I didn't make the decision!! But after the diner I was spent and ready to sleep!!
Sunday morning I woke up and wanted to work out so I headed off to LA Fitness for a swim in the lap pool. I did not realize how hard it is to swim!! I can go 30 minutes on an elliptical machine but after 10 minutes in the pool I could barely breath!!
After cleaning up I needed to run some errands before heading to church and then after church I came home, ate some lunch and then washed my car. I found a spot in my apartment complex that I can wash my car and it doesn't cost me anything except that I have to buy my soap and bucket and it is very close to my building so it is very convenient for me.
My church also has events they do for singles and they break the events out by ages and call the events Fusion. The Fusion groups meet 2 times a month and this Sunday was the one of the days they meet. I didn't have much else to do last night so I checked it out. I was amazed and actually had some fun!! I am planning on going back again. What occured: there is social time at the beginning, then a speaker spoke for about 15 to 30 minutes and then they break everyone up into small groups and we answer questions and discuss the material and then there is more social time at the end. Of everything, what I was most amazed by was the speaker!!
Actually, let me back up... the speaker this week was actually a DVD that was pre-recorded. As soon as the DVD started playing I knew exactly who the speaker was... Rob Bell!! For those of you who may not know, or remember, who he is... he is the pastor at Mars Hill located in Grandville/Jenison, Michigan!! I have been to Mars Hill with my cousin Marie and my Aunt Sherry quite a few times!! When I was looking for a church down here I was basing a lot of my search on getting the same atmosphere as that church!! I was just floored that Buckhead Church had a DVD from him and played it on the first night that I showed up to the Fusion event. And, on top of that, the message was one of my favorite from all of the tapes that Aunt Sherry passed along. It was the sermon about being 'Covered in the Dust of you Rabbi.'
I played hooky today and didn't go to work!! Actually, I asked for the day off last week with the plan of helping Victor paint his house. The plans of painting fell thru but I had a wonderful day anyway!! I slept in, got some things done around the house, and then met up with Victor. He has been working out for a very long time and I don't know too much about weightlifting so he and I got together at the gym and did some cardio and then weights. I am going to work out with him more often so I can get a weightlifting routine into my normal workout schedule.
After the gym we headed off to Eats for some lunch. I have eaten there quite a few times before (and it was one of the places that I took Angie to when she was down) and it is very good!!
It was too beautiful of a day to stay inside so we headed off to Piedmont Park for some tennis. The weather today was somewhere between 75 and 80 degrees, light wind, with not a cloud in the sky. I couldn't have asked for a better day off in the middle of October!! We played until we were too tired to go on and then headed our separate ways.
As usual on Monday I had my small group but we are between lessons so we headed off to Rock Bottom Brewery for dinner and gossip. It was a very nice way to start really getting to know some of the people in the group a little bit more!!
After Rock Bottom I met up with my friend Chris and we watched some of the football game and baseball game at a different Three Dollar Cafe than usual. This one is closer to where Chris lives and is brand new. From the street it looks like there is a ton of TV's for watching the games but really there were only a couple. It wasn't any better than the Three Dollar Cafe that we normally end up at so we probably will not be going to them anymore. Also, generally Daniel meets up with us but this week he is out of town on business so it was just Chris and I.
Now time to get ready for going back to work for the week!!
I left work right on time (yes!!), went home, cleaned up, ate some dinner, and then headed to Chris and Daniel's apartment. We hung around their place for a little while before going out to what has become our 'normal' hang out, Moondogs and Hole in the Wall. We met up with a girl from my work while we were there which was nice and then we danced the night away. As always we had a lot of fun and I am now starting to run into people I have met in weekends past... does that mean I hang out there too often??? Either way, we left this time before closing because Chris had to work the next morning. He is on a new shift since he is the new guy in my department at work and is now working the weekends.
Saturday a whole group of us went out to celebrate Victor's birthday (his actual birth date was Sunday but we technically celebrated on Sunday too since we were out past midnight... hehe). We started out at a very nice restaurant called Two Urban Licks. It is owned by the same people who own One Midtown Kitchen and Pie Bar (which is where we went for my birthday). The atmosphere was fabulous and the food was delicious!! We sat outside, kind of. There was a patio section that was surrounded by walls but there was an open ceiling. It is hard to explain but it is very pretty in person.
After Two we went to Stool Pigeons, a sports bar located downtown, where we met up with some more people to celebrate. This sports bar is much nicer than the Three Dollar Cafe that we normally go to on Mondays so we may end up changing our venue to here.
The next stop was a quick dog run at Victor's so that his Rottweiler could go for a bathroom break.
After the quick stop we headed out to Vision night club which is also located downtown. It has just been redone and reopened in the last few months. This is another club that I had not been to since I have been down here but will definitely have to go back sometime. It looks fabulous and it is huge!! There were four separate dance floors and by midnight they were all packed!!
When all of the dancing ended there were only three people still standing: Victor, me and Victor's friend Victor. The three of us then went out to Landmark Diner and had a food break. Personally I think the Waffle House tastes better but I was not the driver so I didn't make the decision!! But after the diner I was spent and ready to sleep!!
Sunday morning I woke up and wanted to work out so I headed off to LA Fitness for a swim in the lap pool. I did not realize how hard it is to swim!! I can go 30 minutes on an elliptical machine but after 10 minutes in the pool I could barely breath!!
After cleaning up I needed to run some errands before heading to church and then after church I came home, ate some lunch and then washed my car. I found a spot in my apartment complex that I can wash my car and it doesn't cost me anything except that I have to buy my soap and bucket and it is very close to my building so it is very convenient for me.
My church also has events they do for singles and they break the events out by ages and call the events Fusion. The Fusion groups meet 2 times a month and this Sunday was the one of the days they meet. I didn't have much else to do last night so I checked it out. I was amazed and actually had some fun!! I am planning on going back again. What occured: there is social time at the beginning, then a speaker spoke for about 15 to 30 minutes and then they break everyone up into small groups and we answer questions and discuss the material and then there is more social time at the end. Of everything, what I was most amazed by was the speaker!!
Actually, let me back up... the speaker this week was actually a DVD that was pre-recorded. As soon as the DVD started playing I knew exactly who the speaker was... Rob Bell!! For those of you who may not know, or remember, who he is... he is the pastor at Mars Hill located in Grandville/Jenison, Michigan!! I have been to Mars Hill with my cousin Marie and my Aunt Sherry quite a few times!! When I was looking for a church down here I was basing a lot of my search on getting the same atmosphere as that church!! I was just floored that Buckhead Church had a DVD from him and played it on the first night that I showed up to the Fusion event. And, on top of that, the message was one of my favorite from all of the tapes that Aunt Sherry passed along. It was the sermon about being 'Covered in the Dust of you Rabbi.'
I played hooky today and didn't go to work!! Actually, I asked for the day off last week with the plan of helping Victor paint his house. The plans of painting fell thru but I had a wonderful day anyway!! I slept in, got some things done around the house, and then met up with Victor. He has been working out for a very long time and I don't know too much about weightlifting so he and I got together at the gym and did some cardio and then weights. I am going to work out with him more often so I can get a weightlifting routine into my normal workout schedule.
After the gym we headed off to Eats for some lunch. I have eaten there quite a few times before (and it was one of the places that I took Angie to when she was down) and it is very good!!
It was too beautiful of a day to stay inside so we headed off to Piedmont Park for some tennis. The weather today was somewhere between 75 and 80 degrees, light wind, with not a cloud in the sky. I couldn't have asked for a better day off in the middle of October!! We played until we were too tired to go on and then headed our separate ways.
As usual on Monday I had my small group but we are between lessons so we headed off to Rock Bottom Brewery for dinner and gossip. It was a very nice way to start really getting to know some of the people in the group a little bit more!!
After Rock Bottom I met up with my friend Chris and we watched some of the football game and baseball game at a different Three Dollar Cafe than usual. This one is closer to where Chris lives and is brand new. From the street it looks like there is a ton of TV's for watching the games but really there were only a couple. It wasn't any better than the Three Dollar Cafe that we normally end up at so we probably will not be going to them anymore. Also, generally Daniel meets up with us but this week he is out of town on business so it was just Chris and I.
Now time to get ready for going back to work for the week!!

My week with ANGIE!!
Ok... another week in review... I need to get better at doing this more often!! I am having a hard time remembering what happened in the past week when I go to blog it!!
All the way back to two Mondays ago, oh so far away! We do not have Small Group on the first Monday of the month so after work I worked out and then went to 3 Dollar Cafe again with Chris and Daniel. Once again we sat out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the football game. The only change was that this time another co-worker of mine, Alice, also showed up!!
Tuesday was the day to pick up Angie. After work I dropped my car off at Marta (the name for the subway or train as well as the bus system that runs thru Atlanta) and road that down to pick up Angie at the airport. This time I found parking for the Marta system itself so I knew my car would not be towed!! Angie's plane came in on time and without any problems and it was so great to see Angie again!! By the time we got back to my apartment it was getting quite late and neither of us had dinner yet so we cooked up some dinner and then went to bed.
We woke up early on Wednesday in order to see Lance Armstrong at Centennial Olympic Park!! Atlanta was a stop for the Tour of Hope and Lance's team road from Jackson to Atlanta and did it only in a few days. There were quite a few people who came down to support the tour and to see Lance, like Angie and I did.
After Centennial Olympic Park we went to Little Five Points, a section of Atlanta, for shopping and for lunch. There are quite a few quaint shops and the restaurant rated as Atlanta's best burger, The Vortex. So we shopped around until we got hungry and then ate at The Vortex. After The Vortex we shopped some more and then ended up a Kroger to buy groceries to take to Victor's place. After he got out of work he made us some very good spaghetti for dinner!! Yummm!!! If that wasn't enough to fill our day, after we left Victor's place we stopped at Smith's Old Bar to support a co-worker of mine in the battle of the bands. There were quite a few bands that we watched, each of which could only play one song and it had to be original, but of all of the bands I would have to say that my co-worker's band was the best of the bunch. The name of the band is Rae' Ven Rae.
Since we had such a busy day on Wednesday we did not set our alarm for Thursday and ended up sleeping in until NOON!!! We got up and could not believe that we slept in like that but had time to dwell on the hour... we had things to do!! After getting ready we headed out to tour the World of Coca Cola. The building was really cute and we took some cute pictures from the tour you can check out by clicking on my pictures. My favorite part of the tour was when we got to sample the different kind of Coke product that the have for around the world. There were some very crazy flavors!!
When we left the Coke tour we went shopping right next door at the Underground, which is a lot of shops and restaurants all, you guessed it, underground!! Of course, no trip to Atlanta would be complete with out a stop to the local Hard Rock. When we were at the Underground the lady behind the information booth told us that we were only a 'couple' of blocks from Hard Rock so we started to walk instead of drive. When we got about one block I realized where we were and how far of a walk the Hard Rock really would have been so we walked back to my car and drove it instead.
Right by Hard Rock was what was labeled a 'mall' so we decided we needed to stop and take a look before going to eat but who ever named it a mall was really stretching because one clothing store and a few gift shops do not constitute a mall... well, at least not to me!
Even after the disappointment of the mall we still had a great meal at Hard Rock. At one point a group of girls came out and signed the national anthem that was being sung by Whitney Houston via music video. After Hard Rock we scooted home, change clothes and headed to Chris's house. Angie, Chris, Daniel, their friend and I all went out to a bar called 10 High to watch another band perform. This band was comprised of people that were Chris and Daniel's friends and they were really good!! It was a ton of fun to watch them play!!
Friday started out with a trip to Krispy Kreme... I don't know how I can live by that place and not be bigger than what I am!! The donuts are so tasty!! But, the next few stops were made OTP (Outside The Perimeter).
We stopped out at a Harley Store to get Judy, Jim and Kevin some Harley shirts that say Atlanta on them (don't worry Mom, Dad, or Dan when you come out to visit we can stop there too!!). After the drive to the Harley store we had to stop by a Buffalo Wild Wings, which is where Angie's husband works (but he work at one in Michigan, obviously... hehe) to check out a southern 'B-Dub's and compare the tastes. I would have to say, at least with this restaurant there was not much different between the north and south.
After lunch we stopped by the mall close to my house (and one that I know is good) and did some shopping at Lenox. We basically shopped until we dropped and then went to my apartment to watch movies. I don't think we could have made another night out on the town with out more rest!! So, Friday movie night became the rest and rejuvenation night!
Saturday during the day we went to another mall close to where I work and then spent the rest of the afternoon resting and getting ready to see the Atlanta Thrashers hockey game!! The game was the season's home opener so we got free t-shirts!! I have not been to a hockey game in a very long time so it was a ton of fun to go to!! To top it off the Thrashers won the game 8-1 and there was a huge fight!! It was so much fun to see.
We took Marta again to go to the game.. I am really liking how easy it is to use Marta to get around and I found another parking garage for Marta that I can use long term and it is within a mile from my apartment!! So, next time I take a fight out of Atlanta I know where to park!!
After the game we picked up my friend Carrie (we know each other from small group) and went to Coyote Ugly and to Mako's. Angie had been to the Coyote Ugly in Las Vegas and had gotten a glass from there that she also wanted to get from the one here. Unfortunately they do not see the glass at the Atlanta location and there wasn't too much going on at Coyote Ugly so we walked down the street until one of the bouncers told us there would be no cover to get into Mako's so we spent the rest of the night on their dance floor!! We had a ton of fun!!
Sunday we spent the day at Six Flags!! It was a lot of fun to ride all of the roller coasters... my favorite was probably the Superman Ride because it was the most smooth and because you do the entire ride on your belly!! When we got back to my place though we both crashed and had to take a nap!!
On Monday I had to say good by to Angie and dropped her off at the airport. Once again we rode Marta (oh so easy now) and they drop you off right inside the airport and there was an Air Tran check in located right by the Marta exit... can't get easier than that!! We then did some shopping in the gift shops and ended up in the Coke gift shop. Neither of us were paying attention to the few people who were in there but there was one lady checking out and a few people with her. After she left the cashier say to us "that was Kim Basinger!!" We all ran out of the store and watched her walk away. We found out later that she was with her daughter and the nanny. It was fun seeing a celebrity!!
After dropping off Angie I headed to LA Fitness. I have been trying so hard to work out on my own but have only been gaining weight. There are quite a few people that I know that use LA Fitness and one of the guys gave me a free week pass to try out the gym. Since I had some time to look around I decided to head over there. I went to the gym that is closest to my work because it was the one I had the free pass to and it was amazing. They have all the weights and running machines that you could ever dream possible but they also have racquet ball courts, a lap pool and a BASKETBALL COURT!! I was so excited about the court that after the tour I went for a quick jog and the shot some hoops!! I got so carried away shooting that I almost did not leave in time to got to my small group.
I ran out of there, came home, got dressed, and while getting ready to go Carried called me and asked me to meet her at a Mexican restaurant right by the place we meet so I finished getting ready and meet her there. By the time I got there it was too late to order anything so I had a couple of chips and then we walked to the small group. As usual I met up with Daniel and Chris at 3 Dollar Cafe but this time Victor and one of his friends, James, also met up with us. There were a few problems this week in that they didn't have the patio open (the place really isn't that nice indoors) and a lot of what we had ordered they were out of. Victor and James had come from another bar that they said had big screens all over the place and is really nice so next week we may end up there for the football game.
Of course on Tuesday I had to check out the gym again but this time I went to one that is close to my apartment (there are a few quite close to where I live). I went in the morning and it was quite nice but this one did not have the pool or the basketball court which is not so cool but I am told one of the other gyms by my house has one so I will check that one out soon.
Wednesday was laundry night and like my usual laundry nights I went to Victor's house but he didn't get out of work until 9pm so I stopped by the gym on my way home and then ran over to his place where we ate dinner and I helped him with his homework (as payment for the use of the washer and dryer) while my clothes got clean. Unfortunately clothes take a long time to get clean and I didn't get home and in bed until about 2am and had to get up this morning at 7am to go to the gym so I am now quite sleepy!!
The reason I had to go to the gym so early today was because I had a session with the trainer this morning. They give you one free session so I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I would love work with a trainer but after finding out the cost to do so I figured I can wing it with the help of my friends, the internet and magazines!!
After work I had this strong desire to play some basketball so I headed back to the gym and was shooting around when I got caught up in a few pick up games!! It was so much fun to run around again!! I missed playing the last few months!!
Looking back at the blog I am now getting very sleepy!!! Time for me to crash!!!
