The Breast Cancer 3 Day
If you haven't heard I am walking the Breast Cancer 3 Day in October. The 3 Day is a 60 mile walk over 3 days to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. It is a very daunting task when I think that in a few short months I will have raised $3000 and trained to walk 60 miles but I know that the cause is worth it. Unfortunately 1 out 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The reality is that it is no longer someone else, some other women but it quickly becomes will it be myself, my sister, my friend, my niece? I have chosen to walk this year for my mom who is a 9 year breast cancer survivor. I am also walking for all of the women in my life so that they will hopefully never have to face breast cancer. I am walking for cure so that one day we wont need this walk. Please take a minute and check out the website and make a donation if you are able to. If you aren't able to make a donation now please keep me in mind, I am trying to raise $3000 by May. Also if I have your email address you will be receiving an email from me with information on the 3 Day please pass it on to anyone you think could help out. www.the3day.org or my personal page at http://08.the3day.org/site/TR/Walk/AtlantaEvent?px=1623854&pg=personal&fr_id=1181 Current Mood: optimistic |

There are 2 things I hate right now 1. Being Sick 2. Being Alone I know most people want to be alone when they are sick but right now I want someone else here to share my misery and to go to the store for me. However, since I am alone and Daisy can't drive, I am going to pout and go to bed alone. |

Ok Maybe this will help
I went ahead and made a reservation at Maggianos and at Wildfire for Sat 1/26 so once we decide I will cancell the other one. I tried to make a reservation at Season 52 but they didn't have any openings. So here are our choices CPK- No reservation yet Season 52- No reservations avaliable within 2 hours of 7pm Maggianos- Reservation at 7:30pm for 8 people Wildfire- Reservation at 8:00pm for 8 people Go debate..choose wisely |

New House
Just to let you all know I have moved to Alpharetta. I started at the Pappadeaux in Alpharetta about a month ago and moved into my new townhouse about a week ago. I am still living in the land of boxes but if you have some free time and want to take a little drive I would love some company. When I get all settled I will probably have everyone out since it has been awhile since we have all gotten together. |

Where have I been?
So like always it has been forever since I have posted but here is a little update on my life and my family. First my family- my oldest sister, Sarah, is expecting her first child in July and my sister in law, Natalie, is expecting her third child in September. This makes mom and dad very excited as they will soon have 4 grandchildren to spoil. As far as my life I am still quite content with my dog Daisy and am not planning on having kids anytime soon. However, I will be moving to Alpharetta at the end of March. I am still working for Pappadeaux but they are transferring me to the Alpharetta location. It will be interesting and scary learning a new staff and store in general but everyone says it is a good move. I would rather not transfer but it really wasn't a choice so I am trying to make the best of it. My other big news is that I decided to put an offer on a Townhouse in Alpharetta so hopefully when my lease is up in March I will be moving into my own home and not a cardboard box on the side of 400. Of course when I get settled I would love to have everyone over as it has been way too long since we have gotten together. I hope everyone is doing well and that I hear from you sooner than later. |

Daisy Mae
I am a mommy to an adorable 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier named Daisy Mae or Daisy for short. I adopted her Saturday from Dog Pack Rescue. She had been picked up in Louisiana after Katrina and spent the last year at the shelter sleeping on the owners couch. Her breeding makes her look a little like a pit bull but she would never hurt a fly. She loves people and other dogs plus she is already housebroken. So if you guys are in the area give me a call and stop by to play. |

Moving
So I am moving tomorrow in to my new apartment :) Its in the North Druid Hills, La Vista Road area so you all should come visit. My roommate is Charlie, another manager from work, he is really nice and just graduated from georgia state in December...no we are not dating. I have met alot of his friends but he hasn't met any of my friends so let me know when you are free and we should all meet up sometime. Unfortunately with the moving means I will probably be without internet until Friday so if you need me or want to stop in then give my cell phone a call. |

I am back in Georgia
Here is an update on me : After 3.5 years at Purdue I have graduated with a BS in Hospitality and Tourism Management and have taken a job with Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Norcross, Ga (the place where I worked this summer). I will be starting Jan 2 as a floor manager and then will go from there. For now I am back at my parents house as I attempt to save some money and find my own place. I would love to see you all sometime this holiday season so give me a call if you want to do something. I could go on about other things but it would probably be really boring so if you care to know more give me a call. Hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! |

I am coming home...for good
Like every year I am terrible at updating this but oh well. Just to let you all know I will be home Oct. 8th - Oct. 16th for my sisters wedding. Her wedding is on the 15th so before that I will should have sometime to visit with people, however I am not sure if I will have a car. I think the next time I will be home will be after graduation in Dec when I move back to Atlanta to take my job with Pappadeaux. I am excited to be working for them again and to be moving back to the area. Hopefully I will be able to catch up with all of you more now that I will be in the same state again. Well class is calling so I will hopefully see some of you in Oct and if not then in Dec. :) |

My Dream
So I have been having this dream for the past couple of nights and it is freaking me out. In this dream I am pregnant, I am not very far along just barely showing. Like in real life I am freaked out about and very anxious. Completely not like real life I don't really know who the father is. Now I know this is not my body subconsciously telling me that I am pregnant because if it was then you should all call me Mary but what does this dream mean? |

Dear Abby
I have always given advice to friends. Usually because my friends have asked for it but sometimes because they need to hear it. I don't mind giving advice because I like helping my friends but lately one of my friends has just asked for a lot. I know they are going through a lot and I want to be supportive but I get tired of giving advice sometimes. Mainly because it is on the same topic and I don't know what else to tell them but they keep asking and I get tired of the saying the same things. I just want to tell the person to take some action and make their own decision but that won't happen because of some other issues. I just feel like Dear Abby sometimes because I keep giving out advice but do people really listen to it? Don't worry this is not about any friend from high school, nor is this friend in any life threatening situation. Current Mood:  frustrated |

Time for my Update
Well it seems like almost everyone has posted about what they have been up to and will be up to this summer so I guess it is my turn. I finished up my finals on Thursday and now I am packing, hanging out with friends and working until I head home on the 12th. Monday the 9th is my birthday so a bunch of people are taking me bar hopping so if I drunk dial you I apologize now. I really hate packing, luckily I don't have to move out of my apartment so a lot of stuff is staying. My mom also informed me that I am picking up my Grandmother and driving her down so she can visit a few weeks...lets just say that will make my 10 hour drive even more annoying. It will be nice to visit with Grandma I just don't want to drive her down by myself. As for my plans this summer I will be helping Kim with wedding plans and doing an internship with Pappadeux Seafood Kitchen in Norcross. I am excited about this internship because if I do an excellent job there is a good chance that it will turn in to a job offer when I graduate in December. However, I am also very nervous about it because this type of restaurant is completely different than anything I have worked in and I have taken this internship without having meet anyone at this restaurant. I have talked to the General Manager on the phone and he seems really nice but still it will be an interesting first day. Other than work and seeing my family I don't have any other plans except to hang out with all of my friends. I miss you guys a lot and can't wait to see you, so let me know when you will be around because I definitely want to hang out this summer. Its hard to believe this is my last summer as a college student and I only have a semester left in school...where did the time go? Enough rambling I hope to see you all soon. |

Thinking
So I think I like this guy I have known since freshman year. I liked him freshman year but he was dating someone, then sophmore year we didn't see each other much, but when we did I loved hanging out with him. And last night he came over (long story), but we ended up making dinner for my roomates then sitting around and watching tv/movies. But he got a call saying his friend back home was in an accidents. I could tell he was worried but he said he was fine and that he doesn't get emotional about things like this. The rest of the night was kinda bummed then because of that which is understandable. But what do I do now? Do I tell him I have liked him since freshman year? Do I do nothing and get nothing in return? Try to keep hanging out with him and see if he gets the idea? Its just so annoying because he was talking about how his heart has been broken by the girl he liked and I just wanted to say you picked the wrong girl pick me, but I can't because I don't want to be the girl with the broken heart. These are the things I will ponder today at work. Current Mood:  contemplative |

Christmas Break
So its time for my annual post of when I will be home for Christmas! I will most likely drive back on Sat, Dec 18th and get in late unless I wake up extremely early. Then I will be home until January 7th or 8th depending on when I decide to drive back up. As far as I know I don't have any plans for those 3 weeks except to spend time with my Grandma when she comes down but I don't know when that is. So let me know if you will be in town or have anything exciting going on because I miss seeing all of you. Good Luck on Finals! |

So Mad
I hate it when you misplace something important. I have a sheet for work that lists all the events that I have worked that I need to turn in at the end of the semester and I have misplaced it. I remember the last time I had it and where I put it but I can't find it. I kinda remember throwing a bunch of paper out and I think I might have thrown it out but I am not sure if I am thinking that just because I can't find it or because I did. All I want to do is look for this paper but I have to go to class so I can't, but it will be bothering me until I do. GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Current Mood: annoyed |

So excited but yet Scared
So I talked with my adviser and I moved up my graduation date from May 2006 to December 2005. My next 2 semester will be really busy but I think I can handle it.I am excited to graduate early because not that I don't love college but a lot of my friends are graduating this May or already graduated. I am scared because it means real life begins and the friends that I have talked to that have graduated tell me to stay in college as long as possible but I think it is just because they weren't ready for the real world, but I think I am. I have told my sister but I haven't told my parents yet, I wonder if they are going to try and talk me out of it? The only thing that is a slight problem is that I have to find a lease for a semester which shouldn't be too hard it just might be expensive. Sorry if this is hard to follow but I need to talk it out and become comfortable with the idea so I don't get freaked out. Current Mood: excited |
