Just Another Day...

Just another day of work here for me. I guess I can not complain....the weather has been beautiful and sunny and it is always so nice to get that *paycheck*. I am liking working first or second shifts...first because when you get off at 3 you still have a lot of your day left and second because you can sleep in a little bit and have time to relax before going in. Working split shifts are not as nice, they eat up your whole day. Today I am working 3-11 and man oh man are we slow. I am here alone, which is why I am blogging. I have been so busy that I have not had any time to blog. I just don't know where my time goes....

As for updates: my fitness plan is going ok. I could be better, but I have been fairly consistent about working out and I have to brag on myself here I have totally been avoiding fast food. I couldn't tell you the last time I had fast food. Since I have been home (which has been about a month now) I have only had fast food twice and I think both times was the first week I was home.

Scarlett has a huge cut on her ankle. I am having to hose it off and put antiseptic ointment on it and she doesn't like it very much. I can tell she is trying to be good about it though. I think it probably hurts her when I put the ointment on.

I had sushi with a long lost friend recently and it was so good to see her. She is always like a ray of sunshine to everyone around her. It is so good when you have a friend that you can see once a year and the two of you can pick up right where you left off.

I got my hair cut at Identity and was really impressed. I have totally difficult hair and I am almost never satisfied with how the stylist cuts it. Cyndi did a really good job and I am planning on going back soon for highlights. I have naturally light brown hair so I want subtle ash blonde highlights. I had such a good experience with the haircut I feel like I can trust the stylist with highlights. I'll post a photo as soon as I get them done.

I have gotten to spend some quality time with my sweetie....it is just great to be able to see him all the time as opposed to being at school. Another thing that is great about being at home: my bed. I have double bed with the most fantastic mattress. Oh I love it. I have also gotten to visit with my neighbor Papa Ridgeback a few times. King Prawn at the Galley with cheese grits...yummy....

At the end of this week my grandparents from San Angelo will be visiting. Oh how I love Texas. If you have never been to Texas...go. It is just so different and wonderful. I wish I was going this summer. I love it there. Of course I just love travel period (which is probably why I chose to major in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Mangement). At some point I really want to visit Africa and Australia.

I just finished reading The Debutante Divorcee by Plum Sykes and am now reading Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books so I am hoping I will love this one as well. So far one of the characters wears pearls with a bikini while laying on the beach. Isn't that devine? I have got to try it. The next book I am reading will be The Sunday Wife by Cassandra King (who is married to Pat Conroy and I have met Pat before)
