2 months later.

Heyo! The weather has been sooo beautiful, minus the 4in film of pollen on everything! It's been a busy 2 months. Been to the beach 2x, purchased a car, my cousin's getting married this wknd, etc! So much to share w/ you guys.

Still working up a storm. Kind of missing school. Not like the college experience, but the actual learning part. Whoa, I'm a nerd. Plus I don't like paying $250/mo in loans! hah. I' want to travel nurse, rake in the bucks, gain a ton of experience, & see some more of our great country. Looks like I better get it in before this "health care plan" passes since my paycheck is will go to crap. You need a yr or more of experience, so I'm just waiting until Oct. I need to get back into school too, though, so I just don't know what do w/ my life. UAB is the #1 nursing grad school in the US, but I would love to live in TN, too. The STRESS.

Speaking of this preposterous health care plan...the GOP has made several amendments (thank Heavens)...one which includes: Sex offenders will not be eligible for erectile dysfunction drugs. How ridic is it that that even needs to be stated?...but I love it. Makes perfect, logical sense!

I've been seeing a guy whom I met at our late beloved, Ben Trussell's tribute. Funny how things work out. He was a close friend to Ben too, so it's peculiar how we never met until the night of the tribute, Feb 14. It's different than anything before, so I'm soaking it all in. 2 months has seemed like 6 in a good way.

Car shopping has been a job. The '99 Honda has needed daily interventions, soo I thought it may be time to throw the towel in. I've been doing car research since Jan...wasn't going to let those car salesman get the best of me!! haha. I even asked to look under the hood!! Really the only things I knew to look for were where the oil dipstick is, where to add antifreeze/H2O, and if it had 4cylinders. haha. Saturday, I bought a new Altima (prob devalued about 4grand when I drove off the lot, but whatev) We were there from 1030-330!! C came w/ me b/c he's great (goodness knows I wouldn't want to sit through all that!). Well, wait a minute, it was about the hottest day of the yr, & during a test drive, he turned my heat warmer on. Punk. I was already profusely sweating from 'the Anxiety'. hahha.

We hadn't eaten all day. We were about to close up shop, doing a few housekeeping things like going over the inside of the car, ANDDDD the lady says, "Oh, hold on one minute, I've got to run to the restroom." WHATTTT? hahahha. I mean I didn't know if she suffered from IBS or overactive bladder, but come on! My stomach's eating my gallbladder, lady! hah. I love my new car, but she just doesn't have any personality yet. Hmm. Maybe w/ time? Then again, the Honda has too much personality...banged up on each side from curbs, buggies, cars, etc.

Remember the Aunt Mary's pants story? Well, that night MG, some buds of ours, and I went to play trivia. Funny enough that our team name was, "I didn't know I was playing trivia w/ the Situation"...mocking the announcer who looked like that Guido from Jersey shore. Needless to say, we started out on a bad foot. It's packed in there. They ask 3 questions, you score accordingly to the confidence of your answer 2-6pts. We never win, but hell, we give her a try! J is walking back from the bathroom. The Q is something about Jimi Hendrix's first guitar/song/something. J yells "SEATTTTLE!" Just guuuureat. "The Situation" yells back at him, "Thatta way, deusch." Uh oh. hahhahaha. So we weren't making friends, to say the least.

Alright, I'll be back soon! Love!
