Back to the Grind
Here I am, back in Clarksville, to work and class. Ooooh fun! (please, sense the sarcasm, altho actually it's been fun)
So, spring break FLEW by. I still can't believe how fast a week went by!! It was just so jam-packed! You read about the zoo.. Tuesday I went to Charlotte to visit with my sister and the kiddos. That was fun. We got there about 3, and chilled. Had a nummy dinner, played, went for a giant parade walk with the wuppies (I took Onex & Mel) and all of us and the kids. It was a major production. David surprised me by offering to come over and visit so I wouldn't have to leave everyone. :-O Holy shit. Ihad told him I'd be there and I'd try to meet up with him.. but he is on overnights now and slept till like 6pm. So, I didn't have much time since mom wanted to get back not too late. So, he came over for about an hour or so. I know he wouldn't have done that if dad had been with us. What an odd boy.
Wednesday was the Children's Home, which I already posted about. Then, after that I went to Baptist to meet with Bobbi, who has been put in charge of a support group that she would LOVE for me to help with!! So, as soon as I know more about The Children's Home, I can let her know and plan the group!!! We also went to a reception for Dorothy, who has been in charge of the Diabetes center for the last 10 or so years, and always does camp. She's left Baptist and is moving to Colorado!! To help them start up a program out there. Anyway, they were having a reception/good bye for her that I stopped in at for a bit and got to say goodbye. Aww. I'm going to miss her. =(
Thursday was Boone. I met Susan for dinner at the chinese buffet. MMMMM! Then I went to App to a KKPsi meeting. I got there just in time to sit thru a LOOONG ass meeting. I didn't intend to be there for it all, but Susan had stuff to do. But, it was entertaining at least. Got to find out what's going on, "meet' the new people, etc. Then, we went to Macados after. nummy! Joe, from diabetes camp was working, oddly enough, so we chatted for a while too. Got to see everyone in one trip, cool beans!! I ended up staying till about 11, yapping with a few people. Crazy.
Friday mom and I went out apartment hunting. Man, W-S has a lot of places, but most of the ones we saw, the 2 bedrooms were smaller than my one bedroom!! Nothing was as big and spacious as what I've got. I didn't want to do another day of it, really, so I picked The Arbors. They have a 2 bedroom with den floor plan that almost feels like a house. It's really neat. The kitchen is HUGE, and the "den" will be my computer room, and hten I'll still have a spare bedroom for you all to come visit!! tee hee. It's not even $100 more than I'm paying now, which is good. It was a model, so it had furniture and stuff, so that made it look nice too. I'm sure my furniture won't fill it up as nicely, but pretty close. I'll make some pretty curtains or something.. I want to paint my kitchen table that I have now, and get new chairs. I wonder what I'd need to do to paint a finished table.. have to check out ideas from trading spaces, LOL. So, if all goes as planned, I'll be moving in around May 30. Anyone want to come help?! ;-) And, you can bet after I'm settled, we'll be having a big shindig!! I can't wait. Just keep your fingers crossed that everything continues to work out the right way!
I've got most of my stuff ready to send off to the CHildren's Home.. just waiting on my references to be filled out. Then, I guess it's just waiting around some more to make things official. ?! My advisor is going to contact them about internship stuff, so hopefully that'll be settled asap too!! Hot dog. Oh, and I have to go tell my apt people now that I'm breaking my lease, which is going to cost an arm and a leg too, I'm sure. Altho it's only by a few months.... we'll see. Maybe I can have The Children's Home send them something and I can get out free b/c it's job related..
OH! My sister from Atlanta, Christine, flew up for the weekend, to celebrate my dad's bday. (70th!!) She and my other sister, Kathy, got their belly buttons pierced Saturday, so that was an adventure. They wouldn't let us take pics tho, and we never did one of all of our tummies. Next time. It was funny.. my mom came too, since we went to the apt complex after to turn in my application.. and she ended up talking to the owner (Earth's Edge on Silas Creek) for the whole time, and when we got in the car she goes "I never would have had a conversation with her anywhere else" (she had tattoos all over her arms and legs). "But she was a really nice person" See mom, not all people with tattoos are bad!! They're usually some of the friendliest people!!
Ok, I think that's it for now. Gotta do a TON of reading for a test Thursday, because I did NOTHING while I was home. whoopsie...
