Tired & Secretly Jealous

The last few days have been a blur of good food, sleep and traveling. I'm very sick of traveling and glad to be back in Tampa. Black Baby will be in the shop until Monday; translation (I'm stuck in the house for the next 2 days) but she'll be returned to me after a payment of $500 in tip top shape, she even got her headlights buffed out ;)

Something new, tomorrow I will officially begin.... "the Maker's Diet" I'm really excited about it. I have the complete support of my parents. They're not really going to quite follow it w/ me but they are definitely behind me 100% They are committed to buying more organic food :D The other really awesome thing is that the first two phases take 29 days and I have exactly 31 days until July 1st when I come back for Katie & Blake's wedding!!! Yay, it's a great point for marking my progress. I'll definitely keep you up to date!


So, today is the Day!!!! May 30th when "Sex and the City" the movie comes out. I'm assuming which does make an ass of u and me that a number of my friends and people all over America are going to the movie today/ tonight and I'm kind of jealous. I'll probably see it on Monday at the matinée time right after I pick up an application, b/c I don't have a job... lol it'll be my first movie by myself but that's ok I think this New Tampa Life (NTL) is going to have a lot of first in it :p

I just want to say thank you to everyone who's called, texted, sent messages. Sorry, I've been unavailable this last week, I really feel the love! I miss and <3>

mid-west or bust!

I've been in Illinios for about 3 days now. It's nice here, visiting w/ my grandparents and family. Nothing too eventful, the flights were ok to get here but b/c my dad booked them I ended up in the middle seat twice. That was loads of fun!! :D
On Saturday my G-ma and I went to 4 different stores looking for a collectors folder to hold the special quarters one from each state. We could find what we were looking for below $12 :( If anyone knows anything about these lemme know, plz!
In just a few min, my dad and I are going to drive to Kansas (8 hour drive). It should be good!! :D

Day Numero Dos

So, one of my biggest goals for today well; yesterday was to apply for jobs.... I didn't get it done. Instead I got an estimate on my car ($1000), went to Wild Oats love it!! Stopped by the bank, stopped by school, dropped my books on tape then went to target. All of that took my from 1:30-8pm. As for the job search I guess I'll get to that once I get back next week... Seriously, why am I in rush?

Dang, I'm tired! I just fell asleep typing this, Oh I have to get up in 3 hours :(

Day 1

Today was good, long but good. Nothing very eventful; I contacted the insurance company, unpacked my car that took an hour, then spent the rest of the day unpacking. Their was only one casualty from the move. My new silver piggy bank. Sad, I know. I just opened the car door and it fell out to it's death on the driveway.













Yesterday, I forgot to mention these creepy cow billboards that were on the side of I-75. There were probably 5-10 different ones w/ the same freaky cow on them. Not only are they way sketchy, it's hard to distinguish the cows face. Seriously what is up w/ this cow and who authorized it to be printed. They need to take a basic consumer behavior class and see what people are really drawn too. Just to give them a hint, that those billboards just aren't it!
















I guess that it's tomorrow is going to be a full day w/ a trip to the car repair place, job applications, errands, and packing for my trip out west.

The Drive

So, I've arrived after nearly 13 hours of traveling. The drive was long but time seemed to pass quickly; yet my destination continued to seem so far out of reach. Right in the middle of the drive I sadly got myself into a minor car accident. Everyone involved was fine, black baby (my Jetta) gotta a little roughed up though. She decided that her lane was not enough and that she needed to venture into the lane next to us. Unfortunately for us there was a burgundy Crown Vic there and we had a little bumpy bump. After the cop came and we handled the accident stuff I called my parents to let them know, honestly they handled it amazingly. I was more distraught/ upset then my parents (all 4 of them) put together.

The burrito made it!!!! I've taken it down other then that, black baby is still all packed up. I decided to unpack my her tomorrow, why do today what you can just put off until tomorrow. Besides the prospect of being a sleep at 10ish seems magical.
I'll attach some pictures tomorrow...













Here's a picture of Black Baby's injuries :(
