Well, so I took Mom to the doctor last week for her checkup and asked her if there was anything she wanted to tell the doctor.  With me working two jobs, I only have time to run in and tell her I'm home and going to sleep, and then to run in and tell her I'm up and on my way to work.  I haven't gotten to spend more than 3 minutes at her house.  So she tells me to tell the doctor that she's still very depressed and is "in her head" (my words not hers).  She went from having all of us in the house to having noone in the house.  So that made me feel bad.

So I looked at my finances and I think I can do it without the Starbuck's job.  So I turned in my notice to Starbuck's, my last day will be July 20th.  I really hate leaving Sbux, I love the company, the job, and the prestige...not to mention the discounted drinks. (back to only having Sbux every two or three months)  I can pick up extra shifts at Vandy so that I am making OT every other week.  Also, I will only be working 3-4 nights a week and have my days completely free.  Except for sleep of course.

Then today I get to Vandy and our supervisor hands me an envelope.  It is time for annual raises, but I figure I haven't been there long enough so I wasn't expecting anything.  Well I got a raise effective July 7th.  It's not much, but hell it's about what I was making in tips at Sbux.  So hopefully this will work.

I've got lots of stuff I want to do once I am a lady of liesure.  I plan to seriously start working out with J, 'cause lord knows we both need it!  I want to start reading again.  I'll have school of course.  And then I will have a lovely social life to contend with, pool parties, luncheons, trips to the house in FL.

Along that line, Leah and I talked today about the fact that the market is dead and that we will probably be holding the house in FL for at least a year.  And that if that's the case we may as well use it for vacations and for friends' vacations.  I will be putting my bed down there because as long as Leah is in the guest room I can't set my bedroom up in TN.  So that way it will be kind of like camping or like staying at a condo.  There's power and water and an awesome kitchen.  So if anyone wants to plan a trip to Panama City let me know, I may be able to hook you up with free room.

That is all....

You know the ones...when everything falls perfectly, joyfully, peacefully into place.  Family, friends, weather, lovers, everything...except sleep of course, one can't do everything and still sleep.

This wonderful weekend began on Friday evening when Andy and I went to dinner with a large group of our wonderful friends from B-F.  I got to see Nick, whom I have missed too much and actually got to talk to him briefly...but intensely.  I got to see the beautiful Jenn, who looked exceptionally cute in her polka dot dress *kiss* you hottie!!!!!!!!!  I hadn't seen Andy all week and we were very hungry for each other, so the evening ended delightfully with much graphic fucking, which will not be elaborated upon here.

little sleep finally after being up and going for 30-something hours....

Work. :-p 

nap

Got up on Saturday afternoon to go to dinner and the symphony with Leah and Jose.  We went to Ra'az here in Smyrna.  I'd been to the one in Nashboro village and liked it alot, so we tryed this one.  The chef/owner was there and was very interactive with his staff and customers.  We liked that, we thought very highly of that.  Then off to the symphony at the incredible, luxurious, accoustically perfect, Schermerhorn Symphony Center.  It was only my second time there so I am still in awe.  I cannot wait for someone spectacular like Natalie Cole to come again so I can get the box seats right by the stage about 10 ft above the stage!!!!!  I've had balcony both these times and it is awesome, I can see where there is no bad seat in the house.  Also as an aside if you go, the bartender on the upper balcony will make it worth your while to go to her.  Not only is she an attractive middle-aged lady, she flirts the appropriate amount, and makes every drink a double at no charge. ;)  The actual performance was okay.  There's no such thing as a bad evening at the symphony but I would say these pieces were in the bottom third of my exposure.  But Leah, Jose, and I had a really nice family time.  (We did talk a bit about Kyle and Lyndsay so I guess we must miss them a little...*smile*)

I drove home, changed, because the beautiful brown corset that I have been waiting for the right occassion to wear, is now two sizes too big and my boobs kept sliding out of them, so it was annoying me, so I had to change. :'( Then I hurried out to a party with the B-F folks.

Ya' know...I was VERY apprehensive about this party because of where it was being held.  I mean, I hadn't seen her since December and well we certainly weren't on speaking terms.  So I didn't quite know what the atmosphere would be like.  But I wanted to see my friends, tha' gang....and I had to meet the Daywalkers, I had missed an earlier opportunity this year, so I went.  I also knew that Andy would be there now, so there was no way it would end up being a "bad" night, I just didn't know how good it could be...although I could see a hell of alot of potential! All my wildest hopes and fantasies of how the night could go were blown away!!!!  It was perfect. (well with one exception discussed later maybe)  Everyone was more than welcoming.  The person I had been most concerned about, put on a persona of humility and servitude (although it doesn't make me like her any better, it certainly made me want to kill her  less evening was not ruined).  The person I had been most cautious about, left me grining and confused as usual.  Andy was just tipsy enough to be cute as fuck, but such a guy.  and Billy fell asleep... WTF!!!!!!!!!  I did not fall asleep, until about noon on Sunday.  What a wonderful night.  There was sexual inuendo, there were beatings, there were lessons and call downs, there was bonding, but no bondage (that I recall) *grin*, and lots and lots of booze!!!!!!!!  Well you can't go wrong can you.  I am both-still decompressing from this night and still trying to decipher and untangle it all.

I drove home at 8am from Andy's to take Jose shopping for camp...at WalMart (the only thing open out here on Sunday at 8am).  We (Leah, J, and I) got his stuff, got everything packed, and were on the road to Cullman AL to take J to camp for a week.  It's at the church we used to go to when we lived in Cullman.  They opened a Prep/Boarding school on the campus of the monastary, using the old college dorms and buildings from the 40's and 50's.  It is an awesome campus.  I used to love going to mass there with all the monks.  Even then, I would sit there and watch them and think of which ones I would fuck....and I hadn't even fucked anyone yet!!!!  Already developing that perverted, twisted, sick mind.  But I digress.  J has a roommate, a little kid, at least he certainly looks little next to J- who we figure is around 5' 11" now!  He got unpacked and got his bed made and we walked around some.  He did great when we left and didn't cry or even act too upset.  I'm glad, 'cause he can be soooooooooooooo sensitive and I am just not into that.  It wasn't hard for me either, I guess we've done this so much now, we are a little desensitized to it.  I do worry about someone else having control of his meds.  J does so well with managing his medications, he has them tweeked just right most of the time.  Aside from missing the non-essentials like Gh and T...aaaarrrrgh.  He just hasn't learned how essential all our hormones are...just ask a woman. :D  But surprisingly enough, J is kind of outspoken and opinionated, I'm sure he gets it from Leah, so he will make his needs known if he needs to do something about his meds.  He doesn't get all whiney and longwinded...anymore....thank god.....

So we drove back.  And by "we" I mean "I".  The same I that slept from noon til 1:30pm, then had to drive the rest of the trip.  That is all the sleep for that "night".

But the drive back was very good.  Leah and I talked for about an hour (yeah, you can guess it, she slept the next two).  It was good, she asked about the party, about Andy, and actually asked about Sara, Gina, and Angie.  All while appearing to be calm and cool about it and...also like Jose...not bursting into tears.  (Did I mention how much I hate that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!) She even said that if I wanted to spend the night out and she wasn't on call that she would watch Mom and I could.  Wow, that's pretty cool.  

So because of my crazy work week...guess what....Sunday night would be the only night I will have to spend out....so I did.  I went over to Andy's around 8pm last night and started watching Sweeny Todd.  I fell asleep quickly, and expectedly.  We slept the night away and the rest was much appreciated and recompensed this morning. ;-)  Here's to deflowering virgins. 

Now here I sit, totally relaxed, still mystified, and content....needing to express myself.  Which is rare because this really is a bit too sappy for me usually.  But I'm so happy. (There's a little emo for ya' John).

That is all.

emoticons brought to you by the letter Mm and e....bwahahahaha

Has LJ been down?  None of my friends posted anything in two days?!?!?  I guess I will have to write something then.

Leah and I went down to FL on Tuesday and got all the furniture.  It is in the house, ALL in the house.  But my comfy chair had a clear path and I got to sleep in it last night.  I will eventually get a bed, but for now I have too much to do in the BR and then I have to make the platform for the bed.  I've designed it with hidden eyehooks in case one needs to tie down anyone, er um, I mean anything. *eg*

I got new carpet in the house and it is divine!!! Premium pad...it's like butta' only without the squishy factor.  And a most wonderful, spectacular, divine someone painted my living room for me while we were gone.  I am indeed fortunate.

The jobs are kind of settling out.  I still have so much to do though, that I really would like to cut back even more.  I got my first check from Vandy that actually had all my weekend pays, and extra hours, etc....and wholly molly did it beat the hell outta Sbux.

Okay, so someone write somethin'....

Alright, I have no idea how I got here or what I'm doing.  Seems like some of my friends don't care for MySpace...which I finally semi-understand...so now I get to learn a whole new bloggy-writty-touchy-feely thing!  I think mostly I'll use this to stalk my friends and live vicariously through them.
