Hiiilllooo!!
Jerry Humphrey's is a popular man in Alabama. He has inspected any & every elevator in the state, from Mobile to Birmingham, Scottsboro to Jacksonville, Gadsden, etc. I've actually made it a point to check out who the elevator is inspected by b/c there is nooo way he's checking EVERY elevator!! Funny that I first noticed his name when I was a sophomore in college at USA, so needless to say, I've been noticing the elevator inspectors.
So, the Lenten season has begun. I was getting off work on Ash Wed, so I decided to make the early mass, which just so happens to be the school mass of the day!! I've been attending the same Catholic church in Bham for 4yrs b/c I'm too nervous to try another one by myself. The past few times I've been (which, indeed, have been too far apart), I showed up at 530...mass didn't start until 6. The next time, I bee bopped in there at 630, wondering why I was the only one who was walking in. It was only like 632, couldn't have been thattttt late. They had just finished the Homily. I couldn't leave b/c I had already taken off my jacket! Ugh! So, back to Ash Wed, I had just gotten off a 12hr shift, tiredddd & looking like it. I sit in my normal seat...3 rows closest to the back on the far left. Well, then kids of all ages start piling in. I was the tallest person for rows!!! Hahah.
My pops, sister, & I adventured to Tunica, MS a few wknds ago. Mine & Ry's 1st casino rendezvous. Believe me when I say, I've never seen so many Hover-rounds (sp?) & wheelchairs. Not to mention, the array of pajama pants people were sporting! Hahah! We had a BLAST. I didn't lose any $$, so I broke even. Who knew Roulette was so fun? I tried to lighten the mood since everyone is sooo serious around the table. When it was quiet, I said, "So this isn't the same as Russian Roulette, is it?!?!" Hahah! Didn't get quite the laugh I was seeking, but that's okay! Everyone asked Ry & I if we were twins or assumed I was older which is annoying b/c she's 2yrs older than me!!
Buffet city. I haven't eaten at a buffet in years, but oh my, did I eat at the casino's! We made some friends naturally w/ my dad telling everyone he was there w/ his daughters & Ry & I being the socialites we are. One Yemen man played Roulette w/ us for a while. Ry kept saying that "Lemon" guy. Wait, did I just say we made friends? I meant we didn't! Hahah! Jk! He didn't hear her. After that trip, come on Vegas!!
St. Patrick's Day: ah, what a glorious day. I set up shop at an Irish Pub around 0900...yes, in the morning. Don't judge; there was free breakfast! This place is open 24hrs for this special occasion. Kegs & Eggs, they called it. Hahah! You wouldn't believe the ppl who showed up at 0600 when they opened! Impressive. It's like Mardi Gras where ppl take off work to enjoy/celebrate allll day! Making friends was easy, & there was more shades of green than the Amazon Rainforest.
Seinfeld is my #1 all time, favorite shows. I LOVE IT! Can't get enough, even though I've seen every episode a number of times! It kills me how Jerry always has like 65 boxes of cereal in his apt. Have you ever noticed that? Its' funny to me.
Well, I wouldn't be Megan if I didn't put my foot in my mouth at least weekly. Good thing I've already completed that task for this wk. A man walks in to see his what I believe is grandchild. "Hey Grandpa!!" ....I wondered if I could retract the statement as soon as it rolled off my tongue. "Ohhh, no, I'm not Gpa...know I look old, but I'm dad." I just smiled, as I wanted to melt into the ground.
Think that's it! Love!

Who wants a Sandwich?
Hey! The "No soup for you!" lunch ladies are gone from my work!!! Outta there. No mas! See yaaaa! Thank heavens; I can now order my turkey, pepperjack on wheat w/out the possibility of getting a knife thrown at me! Haha. The sandwich maker moved to day shift...I truly believe it's bc I gave her such the stink eye when I went in there. My coworkers wouldn't even go w/ me in fear that that mean, old lady would not like them too! Anddddd the cashier, she was just too old, bless her. Usually I buy a Powerade & Chex Mix w/ or w/out the sandwich. I promise you, L, the cashier, would spell out everything you bought! It took her entirely toooo long to cash you out. She used a pencil & if there was a backspace on that thing, she was wearing it out!! So needless, to say, my life is a lot better now w/out those 2 mean ladies!
I don't recall if I've mentioned the divorce of my Dad & (ex)stepmom. Well, it was an ordeal, just like everything else. She's moved to ArkansaS (I like to pronounce the silent S). Yes, you read correctly, Arkansas. Sucks b/c my little sister is there w/ her. We do get to see her, just not as much as I, or the rest of the family would prefer. Don't really think it's fair to strip a child away from all of her family, but who I mean who am I to question? So, point of story. Mac was here a few wks ago. She, Ry, & I were all watching tv in my dad's bed, sharing some sister bonding. I lost my phone charger (& by lost, I mean misplaced for 1 second, & had already began sweating that Id never see it again...dramatic, I know) Of course, I blame Mac; she's young, why not? She says "Uh, no, Meg, I didn't have it. You losed it." Before Ry or I can correct her, my 8y/o sister says, "Oh no! I've lived in Arkansas too long!!" Hahahha!!!! Speaks volume!
February 7th was a year since Ben Trussell's passing. We all got together to celebrate his life. Seems so unreal that he's been gone a yr. His (older) brother wrote the most amazing song about him, a tear jerker for sure. The chorus "I play the same chords you played" Just got chills even typing that. His dad played a song of his. It's amazing to see how many ppl come out or showed up in memory of him. Damnit Ben.
After experiencing the death of a close friend & just being a nurse, it's so scary to know how fast things can happen & turn sour. Some ppl are ready for death. Well, I guess I shouldn't say ready, rather, not afraid for it. Not me. I'm so scared of death.
Freedom of Speech...the 1st Amendment, correct? Yes. Also, in this country, we are allowed to practice any religion, whether it be Christianity or praying to wild turkey. I've already mentioned in the past what it's like being a Catholic in the "Bible Belt" so to speak. It's not Alabama in general b/c when I lived in Mobile, everyone was Catholic. However, out of all the nurses I work w/, I believe only 3, including myself, have practiced or are practicing Catholics. Ever since the 3rd grade, I've been getting grief about my Christian denomination b/c mind you, Catholicism is a part of Christianity. As a matter of fact, we started Christianity. How can so many ppl seem to forget that? You learn it in school! Someone's Facebook (another topic later) on how they were glad they didn't have to pray to a Priest, blah blah. Now I shouldn't take offense to that, I know. I mean, if you're reading my blog, I know I've probably offended you along the way. I just don't see how ppl can "act so Christian" & then criticize another CHRISTIAN denomination. No, that's wrong. Plus don't ask me why I do what I do in my church when we started the Christian Churches. I'm going to ask you why YOU do what YOU do!
For the record, we don't worship Mary. Does she not deserve some credit though? We don't believe Saints are God. They have all been phenomenal, great, living the Word of God people. Why not ask them for guidance as well? Someone asked me if I could just pray?! Like w/out having a structured prayer, I guess, like the Act of Contrition & Hail Mary. Well don't all ppl say the Lord's Prayer? Ignorance. Of course we can pray!!! I talk to God alllll day. Actually after having that conversation, I was saying the Hail Mary, & wondered why anyone would ever question why we pray to her.
Clarke is getting spayed today!! She went into HEAT!! Oh my. It's the most disturbing, disgusting, ridiculous thing. She's just a little BABY!!! She was going sooo crazy that she would wake me up w/ her meow/crazy mating call maybe? I don't even know if I can look at her the same. My mom took her to the vet; I had to get rid of her for the wknd!!!! Does that make me a bad mom that I didn't bid her farewell before surgery? Crap. Yes.
Happy Saturday! The weather is beautiful! Go outside!!

Twenty Eleven
Hello!
We had another "Blizzard of '93" so to speak in Bamaville. I braved snow, ice, & sleet for the 1st time driving, experienced my 1st potential lockdown at work for inclement weather...oh, & best of all, missed the National Championship! Hahah. I had switched days Mon & Tues so that I could come home to watch the game w/ everyone. Luckily for the sake of being off, I didn't have to stay at the hospital hours on end, not getting paid. I only was there for about 4hrs w/out pay, but some of my poooooor coworkers had to stay Sun-Tues!!! God Bless those dedicated workers!! I missed the game b/c I don't have cable & was pretty much stranded at my apt. Hahah. We won though, so good! hahah
It's always funny that Wal-Mart runs out of bread & milk. Is that the 1st thing you crave when it's supposed to come a blizzard? Buy me some chips, chocolate, & beer!
Ready for summer like no other! This dreary weather has been no fun, except for getting use out of the 900 ankle boots that I've purchased.
You know how I usually only read nonfiction books, but I watched A Time to Kill the other day. It really spiked my interest. I enjoy all of John Grisham's movies, so maybe I'll branch out to try the books!
This whole Arizona deal is crazy! I read that "they" were trying to blame the college b/c the crazy man had been suspended until he sought a psych eval. My understanding of colleges is that they really don't give a damn what you do as long as you $pay$. During my school years, I never even became close enough for any authoritative figure or teacher to know anything about my life; much less if I needed to see a psychiatrist. No, it's not the university's fault. They could not have aided in this not happening. Stop pointing blame. We know who did it. Last time I checked, I make my own decisions. So does everyone else.
On a lighter note, what a wonderful birthday!!! I went to Mobile to see some sorority sisters & old coworkers. Probably the best birthday in a longggg time! My theme was "24 & still hardcore"! Hahah, yes, I'm a nerd. Met a guy who looked like Ellen. I managed to not spend a dime, so, I guess the mission was accomplished!
Now that I'm 24, I feel like I need to be a lot more adult like. Like, I should increase my 401K, start cooking more, blah blah. Hahah. I have noticed my body is slowing BUT surely changing. Things are settling, & by things, I mean body parts. Hahah! I need this to notttttt happen. I never really knew that weight does shift w/out doing anything!
Does it freak anyone else out when ppl you don't know try to add you on Facebook? No, I do not need to be friends w/ you just b/c we have mutual friends. That's a little creepy. Also, if you have a girl/boyfriend, you don't need to be adding ppl you dont know, esp of the opposite sex! Only asking for trouble, kiddos.
All for now, talk to you soon!
