Progress... Perhaps!

Good Evening Delights! I swear I'm making progress around my place, although you wouldn't be able to tell if you walked in here. I finally have all clothes unpacked and hanging. Tonight was productive. Not having cable and/or few local channels really helps keep me focused on getting the madness under control. Anyhoo, the 2 miles I walked at lunch left me feeling/smelling a little foul. I wonder how many people I offended once I returned to the office. :)  Tomorrow's supposed to be a little cooler, but I'm determined to get in some cardio, abs, and arms. I'll also hang some photos. Oh, and file the claim for my missing seat cushions. Crazy movers! Day 2 on the gig was decent and relatively uneventful. But, the HR folks figured out my pay & I got a slight raise. Whoo hooo! And was also informed my 1st conference/training will be in Orlando next February. Apparently, there's a lot of out of town training I've gotta do. Ole!

I'm outta here. The goal is to be in the sheets by 10p. Wish me luck!

Day 1

Good Evening Delights! Day one at the new gig was pretty great. I didn't do much after the HR piece of in-processing (which I'm now realizing was quarter-assed!), but did hang with my supervisor & sponsor for a bit. Both of whom are HILARIOUS! My supervisor happened to be eating lunch when I was led in to her office. And she gets real relaxed apparently. Her pants may have been unbuttoned & she had her shirt rolled up, which exposed her belly. "Girrrrl! Why didn't you tell me I still had my shirt up?!?! I'm just showing you my skin!" I was rollin'. Anyhoo, I think I've found a new and better work family & can exhale a sigh of relief. Much like Angela Basset in "Waiting to Exhale."

I think this might work out. Yall save this blog to throw back in my face should I make everything go wrong over here! :)  I've decided to go full on with decorating my place. It's looking pretty good. Although, I definitely need to do some cleaning up. Yowzuh to this little place. It'll be cozy. Oh oh oh... WHO the hell decided NOT to put a trash dumpster in my area?!?! It's truly a trek to get over there. I'll be doing it at some point in the near future. Like in ... oh... 10 minutes.  I still haven't started my daily walking, but tomorrow is the day!

Magic, YOU.ARE.SEXY!
TAPS, way to rock that race! Cheers!

Divas, thanks for all your kind words. Own the Day!

Feeling Like Donna Summer... A little

Good Evening Delights! Today was a relatively productive day. That's if you count going to Waffle House, getting lost trying to find Walmart, re-arranging furniture, watching football, watching golf, going back to Walmart, eating Caribbean Soul Food, strolling downtown Augusta after the x-mas parade, taking photos of the Santa-hat-wearing James Brown statue, drinking super sweet tea, attempting to hook up the washer for the umpteenth time, watching more t.v., back to Walmart, and finally hooking up the washer correctly. And my brother was with me up until the last WalletMart trip & hooking up the washer. We had a good day & I think I'll enjoy having him a couple hours away. I am filthy but feel the need to wash at least one load of clothes as I wash & deep condition my `fro. I've neglected my hair for days and it shows! I look like a mad woman over here. I've got to get it together.

Hope the weekend has been kind to each of you. TAPS, we know you'll rock the race tomorrow. Run baby run! My objectives for tomorrow are to stroll my neighborhood & do a WHOLE LOT of laundry. Oh, and take a drive out to my new job so I know exactly where to go on Monday. Ole! 

Cheers!

New Digs, new outlook

Good Morning Delights! First, I want to say thank ya thank ya thank ya to each of you for your support on my x-country trek. It was wonderful to check in & read your comments from the road. Second, third, fourth, and forever... MS. AWESOME IS SUPER AWESOME! Your text messages was just what I needed. My new space is a whole lot smaller than my last place & I have MUCH nosier neighbors, but I will be fine for 6 months. Still teetering on whether or not to decorate because I know I'm blowing this joint in half a year. Thoughts? I guess we'll see how the un-loading goes & what that leaves me to work with. Sunday will be greeted with fitness. I'll walk my hood & check out the happenings. I figure I should be able to do a couple of miles every day - weather permitting. This whole working during the day & actually commuting is gonna be an entertaining transition. Wish me luck & a great NPR station. I'm checking out the body and movements of the locals. Most folks are about as big as Texans, have more muscle (hidden by a protective layer of fat...kinda like mine!), but move a lot slower. And I have a feeling this will become my breakfast place of convenience as they are on EVERY corner:

Maybe it won't be so bad if I walk to and fro?!?! Anyhoo, I'm tired but have some straightening up to do. And Sinn needs a good vacuuming like nobody's business. Also, if any of you know how to get me a relatively cheap airline ticket to DC for next weekend, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Loveyall & thanks again for the continuous support. Wouldn't be here without each of ya!

This Is It...

Divas, I'm winding up my last shift at this nutty place. It's been interesting & mostly good, but it's time to roll. I am thrilled that I began my out processing early & it should be smooth sailing today. The plan is to be on the road ultra early manana & hit Baton Rouge around 2-3pm. Maybe have a late lunch with the ex-beau. Energy permitting, I'll scoot toward Mobile, Alabama. I'll send an update from the highways and bi-ways. Feel free to begin singing Willie Nelson's (or anyone elses) rendition of "On The Road Again." Picture me in this:

Yall have a grand one & keep on rockin'! Oh, Ms. Awesome, I promise to stop every couple of hours for nourishment and stretching.

One More Shift

Good Day Delights! Tonight is my last night at work & I am THRILLED to pieces. I started my out processing today & should  be completely finished by tomorrow. Whoo hooo! I packed up & organized clothes. Cleared my pantry. Took the items to the women's shelter. I'm just about ready to scrub & vacuum the place and hit the highway. I'm still trying to map out where I'll be stopping. I guess it depends on how much energy I have while driving. Baton Rouge or Mobile. Or a smaller town outside Baton Rouge called Hammond. We'll see how it all goes.

I'm off to start loading my car before heading to lunch with Mr. Hotness. (He's super hot. And super gay. Yay. :-|  )

Have a great day Delights!

Trial Pre-Packin'

Good Day Delights! I've decided to pack some items in to my car today & see how much room/space I'll need or use for this road trip. Of course, this is the plan in my head & it could go all awry after being at this plantation for 12 hours. But that's the goal/objective for now. If that doesn't get accomplished, I vow to take the donation box over to the women's shelter. And organize clothes. Yes...the same clothes I've been organizing for the last week. It'll get done. I swear it. Maybe I'll have to have some spiked cocoa to motivate me to move. Wait... will that de-motivate me? Yikes! I'll let yall know tomorrow. Anyhoo, I got nothin' much to blah blah blog about. My farewell brunch was superb. I am one lucky gal to have such a fabulous support system. The end!

I want some breakfast but not sure it's gonna happen. Hmm...


Too late. I've agreed to take funky middle to Mimi's. Yay. :\

Enjoy the day Delights!
