Countdown to freedom..

Being that I have been mad busy and it has not STOPPED since August, I'll be brief. I'm moving to GA in less than two weeks and CAN NOT wait! I am soo done with California...albeit living here has taught me alot about myself. There will be a few things that I will miss..one being the weather, and a few (and i do mean a few) friends; I know I'm goin in the right direction. A new adventure, a new start...a new beginning.....so this is what freedom feels like....

till next year...

There and back again...

So I get back to work on monday and all Hell broke loose and continue to break ALL week. Found out my super is leaving after 8yrs of being there. Got all the MD's in an uproar. They depend on her ALOT (too much if you ask me, but who's asking...) and now they have to find someone to replace her in like 3wks. NOT ME...at least not yet...I need just a little more (well more than a little) training. Speaking of which I will be going to VEGAS tomorrow for some of the aforementioned training. It's kinda of exciting. I will be at the Mandalay Bay Hotel which I've heard is off the chain. The training is only like 6hrs on Sat so I will basically have the whole day and most of the night to check out "Sin City" Of course I won't be doing any "sinning" myself but I do wanna check out the shark reef and walk up to the shops. I have never been the gambling type ( I don't like the odds..I always lose) and as far the clubs, I wouldn't go by myself. I think I got all the clubbing out of my system in my younger days. The idea of some sweaty man rubbing his stuff up against me is no longer appealing nor alluring. I went to the website and saw what the "cheap" rooms look like and I would be just as content staying in the room. So Im off again...the weekend should be fun...

WHEW!

Well I am back in Cali...The vacay was FANTASTIC. Florida was MAD hot. My cousin's daughters were adorable. My uncle was annoying but I had a blast regardless. Hung out with SK ALLLL day.... was a good girl (for the most part..but Im not tellin..) I miss him already. Got back to GA and put in like 10 apps for jobs. Now comes the waiting. Took tons of pictures. Maybe I'll post some...maybe not...Two weeks went by way too fast.

Shake, rattle and ROLL........

So like about an hour ago I felt my first (and hopefully last) earthquake. At WORK no less! I was busy just minding my own business folding letters when all of sudden I felt the floor shaking and then the BUILDING shaking. My first thought was "what the hell is this" and then it dawned on me... Im in California. Earthquakes. Oh Crap! It only lasted about 1 minute...seemed longer but still. The building was ROLLING back and forth for what seemed like an Hour. I know you are supposed to stand in the doorway but all I did was just STAND. ...Still. " Real smart" huh! The news says it was 5.4 on the richter scale so it was not that bad. Everyone here at work have been through earthquakes before so they were all laughing at me. I don't care...the office i'm in is on the 5th floor so it was doubly freaky for me. I will take a hurricane, tornado, tsunami over this ANY day. At least you can RUN away or seek shelter..How in God's name are you gonna seek shelter when the SHELTER is moving away from YOU...answer me that...but i digress. Anyway everyone here is okay but this just put the "nail in the coffin" so to speak about my decision to move!

Vacation---steady as she goes....

Well the countdown has begun...I have three days left till i leave and I must say im pretty stoked. 2 whole weeks from this place. And I am going not to just have "fun" per se, I going with purpose. I gotta find a J. O. B.! It would sooo great if i could secure something while Im there but its in God's hands. So now Im just packing..(suitcase is half-packed as we speak) and trying to tie up some stuff before i leave. There is one thing that I am looking forward to...and that is me and S.K. are gonna meet up. I haven't seen this person in Like FOUR years so it will be nice. We are gonna meet up at the Resort I'm stayin and just chill the whole day. It will be good to be around some REAL friends for once. I am also trying to get at some of my other friends too but it may be a little hard being I only have a week there (in Fla) and then Im off to GA. But it's cool. I will still have a blast. My only dilemia now is finding a dang bathing suit. At the resort Im staying, they have a huge wave pool and I wanna try it. Now granted I can't swim a lick but the wave pool is like one big jacuzzi. I could handle that...I think. Neway, I still have to find the right bathing suit and I went to target yesterday to look. And i have one question..why in the heck do they NEVER have the right size bottom for the right size top! What do all the target managers think that everyone is a dern B-C cup! GRRRR! Cuz that's is all they had in the tops. I couldn't find my size NEWHERE!!! And some of those suits were mad cute. What do they only order bathing suits for woman who are less than a D? I found bottoms in my size (that, in itself was a miracle..but I digress) for the most part but when it came to try and matching the top...it was a NO GO at THIS station. Crap, Imma have to break down and go to Torrid ( a "blessed" woman's store). Oh well, the price i have to pay for er....beauty...

T-MINUS 9 DAYS AND COUNTING...

Nine days until I go on Vacation to FLA and GA....CAN NOT wait. I need a breather.....The monotony of this place is getting to me...

The Last of the Mohicans....

I am the Last one. There is no one left but me. I am by myself, no sense in fighting that fact anymore. Yes, yes...among my friends, peers and family...I will now be known as "the single one". I will also go by..."the fifth wheel" and "tag-along". I am doomed to hear "God has someone for you" and "He's out there and he's the perfect one for you" but I digess. My last single friend just found herself a man. I am happy for her, don't get me wrong. It just that it has dawned on me that I have been chosen for this challenge now. And trust me it's a challenge. But I'm up for the task. I am not upset about the fact that Im the last one either......God just has to work on him more (and me). And when it IS my time...watch out people, because there is a HUGE wedding with my name on it....
