Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE SOUTH GA! The weather here is great. I am back in shorts proudly flashing the whiteness typically covered by pants. It's WONDERFUL!
I still don't have my car back yet. It should be done middle of this week but since I am not going home until late Friday I can't get it until Saturday. I'm just ready to be back in my car. B. is hopefully going to take me back on Friday when she gets off work. Maybe I should just quit my job and move back home, become a freeloader and be happy all the days of my life. Not like I would actually do that but dang....ain't nothin' like South GA. I have missed it dearly. I wish there was a way to get a job here in the south but there just isn't a need for Sign Language Interpreters in South Ga....at least none that isn't connected to Nanci Scheetz. I refuse to work anywhere that is connected to that woman, but that's just me and my demons, and she's a demon.
So I have been in South GA for the past week. It's been GREAT! There hasn't been a truly boring/lonely moment since I got here. If nothing else I can always call up a friend or two and find someone to hang w/. That has been WONDERFUL!!!! GEEZ, I miss S. GA. I have had a busy week though I must say. Monday I went to the dentist in Tifton, then to Douglas. After that I went back home and just hung out for a while. Tuesday I went out w/ R. and go me some steak from Texas Roadhouse (my favorite restaurant) and got me some good steak like I been cravin'. We had fun, messed around Valdosta for a while and then came back to my mom and dad's house to watch a movie and work on Mom's computer. Wednesday I spend the morning sleepin', dealing w/ a few necessary things and then I went to have lunch w/ my dad. That was nice. When I got back from lunch I dropped him off at the shop and then went to B.'s house. I spend all afternoon w/ her and left her about 10pm and came home and chilled until I went to bed. Today, Thursday I have come back to Douglas and am currently working at my old job at Trophy World and Gifts, INC. to earn a few extra dollars to help pay for my car. Tomorrow I get to go to my mom's school and talk to the kids about Deaf Awareness. After school Mom is going to take me to B.'s house and I guess I will wait for her to get back and get off work and then we will head out towards Athens. This has been my week, busy but enjoyable. Anywho, nothing major happening or going on lately so I guess that about catches you up. Boring and probably a lot of things that you could have cared less about but I'm bored and wanted to type something...so there ya go. Guess I will post more later...maybe next time there will be more interesting things happening. Although I will have to say that it's been nice to have a boring mundane life for a while. I had almost forgotten what it was like. It's nice not to have a lot of drama for a change. *sigh* Let's just all pray it stays that way. Love you guys!

:-( THE WEEK )-:
OK, so most of you know that my b-day sorta sucked big fat donkey di....well you get the point. I didn't think much of it right...just go on about my business, sulk about it for a day or two and move on...right? Yea no...not exactly how it happened. You know all the drama up til the 20th right.....so the morning of the 23rd I actually leave my house a little early. I was feeling kinda proud of myself and looking forward to what I hoped would be a pretty decent day. It was rainy that morning and a little hazy as I pull up to the stop sign at the end of my road. I look both ways....nothing, so I pull out and then I hear a BOOM! and my car starts moving to the left. I think, CRAP I just had a blow out and I'm gonna have to change a tire in the rain, good thing I left early. Then I hear a horn blow and I realize that someone had just hit me. I accidently pulled out in front of someone and they are now going into the shallow ditch. Oh yea, this is going to be a REALLY good day huh? so I pull over and get out and make sure that everything's ok. No one was hurt (Thank God!) and although damage was done to both cars it wasn't major damage, most appeared to be cosmetic and the axle's on both cars are bent but other than that there were no parts really knocked off or anything. However, I realized later why I didn't see the guy. You never think of things right on the spot when things like that happen, I was just so glad that no one was hurt and everything else that my mind wasn't functioning in analysis mode. So as I am thinking back over everything and trying to see it all over again in my minds eye I realize that I didn't see him b/c his headlights weren't on. The boy was driving a gray lost to the ground car (mustang) on a gray rainy morning w/o his lights on......hum....you tell me who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Needless to say that didn't help me any, I still got a ticket for not yielding while turning left. That's find and all, I get it but dang. If the boy had sense enough to have his lights on while driving on a gray rainy morning I'd have seen him. Oh well, as my daddy said, shit happens. So at this point I have decided that I will probably take the ticket to court if for no other reason that to see if I can at least get the fine reduced. I am already going to have to pay the insurance deductible of $500 to get mine fixed and the ticket is $130 more that I don't have. Maybe the judge will be in a good mood that day and have mercy on me. Pray that she does.
So right now I have my mom's car while mine is being fixed. What can I say, my mommy loves me. But needless to say that last 2 weeks haven't been a party. Nothing near, it's actually been quite frustrating. So that was Thursday, I obviously wasn't able to make it to work that day. My neighbor across the road let me use his truck to go to school on Friday. I am thankful for having some wonderful neighbors that have really stepped up to help me out. My dad came up Friday to get me and take me home so that I could get my mom's car. Saturday I went out w/ B. and her Dom. He took us out to eat at Tokyo Japanese Hibachi Grill. It was really nice. We decided that if nothing else we would celebrate the fact that at this point I am alive and not killing ppl..........yet. hee hee. After that we went to the bar and had a drink or two. B's Dom got sick while we were there but didn't tell us about it until later. We had fun though. Gave me some time away and not thinking about everything that had happened on Thurs. So while we are out on Sat. night W. called me and wanted to make a "business proposition" which ended up being EXTREMELY insulting to both B. and me, so you can imagine what it was. Then he texted me more times than I can count. The next day I told him that he had said enough the night before that he actually was able to piss me off, which is hard for him to do. I told him some of the things that he had said and some of the things that his friend had said when he got on the phone and he apologized. I haven't talked to him since. I was talking to him Sun. night on my way home and lost him when I hit the dead area (you all know how that goes) and tried to call him back. I left him a message to call me back and texted him to let him know I was home and to call me back......he never did. Oh well, his loss. I am done w/ trying to run after him. I was w/ the chase for a while, at this point he can come back and run after me for a while. I am tired of it. I have built that bridge and am crossing it as we speak, apparently leaving him on the other side........I just have to decide if I want to burn it when I get to the other side...hee hee hee. FIRE!!!!! it's so pretty.
So Monday and Tuesday I went to work in an obviously depressed, frustrated state of mind. Wednesday wasn't all that bad and today has just been me running around trying to get everything done that was required of me so it seems like things are back to normal....or at least as much so as they can be at this point (knock on wood). I still don't know much about my car. I need to call and see what they know about my car and when they think they'll have it fixed. All that is a mess, always is. The insurance agency and I have been playing phone tag for the past few days to no avail. We'll catch each other eventually. Just keep me in your prayers. I think we all know my patience on certain things are some what limited. *looking up*"Lord, I ain't prayed for patience, I'm happy w/ what I got."
So that's been my week...from Thurs. Feb 23rd until today. It's been a rough one but I have managed to survive w/o casualties. Needless to say, all comments of encouragement are appreciated, snide remarks will be edited to my liking before posting..lol.
Be well A/all!
