A new year, a better blogger

I can only hope that you all squeal with glee when you randomly check my blog and find a new one here, so feast your eyes my faithful friends, I have written again!!! As I think back upon 2013, the decisions I made both poor, and wise I can honestly say it was one of the greatest years of my short life. I graduated college, had a great last "kid" summer, and moved down these here parts of the great state of North Carolina. I was both challenged and rewarded and I can only thank you all enough for being incredibly supportive and being my greatest cheerleaders as I trailblazed my way through this difficult transition. I have an awesome life down here in NC, and I could not be happier. To catch you up on the month of December…
        The month of December was extreeeemeeely busy for me, especially at work. I finished up my online class I was taking and got an A in it!!! I have a 4.0 for the first time in my life, my parents are weeping silently out of joy at this I think. Happy tears. I am taking a class online next semester starting Monday, as well as a class on campus so it will be another busy 4 months because I am still working full time at the Longhorn.

You just cannot make up the stuff that happens at my work, and I really should start a journal so I can share all these funny stories with you because people these days are crazy. I had quite the redneck table today just to share a small bit. A man came into the restaurant smoking a cigarette, we immediately asked him to put it out, and he replied "don't worry darlin' I'm gonna sit in the smoking section anyways.." After we informed him there was no longer smoking in restaurants since (and i had to look this up because i know its been awhile) 2006 in Greenville. He replied well shoot I guess I haven't been out in awhile…… 8 YEARS?! I should have known this was going to be an interesting table from the start. He then asked me to pick the softest food out in the menu for him because "I ain't got no teeth since like 1988 I believe, wasn't Shirl (to his wife, who grinned with her missing teeth and replied Yep!)" So I showed him the softer foods and they ordered…. 15 minutes later I take their food out and check back and find them eating with their hands….. Not ribs, or burgers, or bread… steaks… mashed potatoes… mac and cheese….Keeping a straight face is not my strong suit as some of you may no, I have absolutely no poker face, so taking a man seriously who has no teeth and a beard full of mashed potatoes was one of my finest hours. The south… what are ya gonna do with them. I feel this way after a long day at work sometimes…

My Christmas break was stupendous, thanks to you all! It was so nice to see everyone and here is a HUGE thank you for all of your gifts, I am more spoiled every year it seems. Kris and I also went to the Eagles games, so here's a few pictures from that since you guys already heard all about it!!!

I will also share a few Christmas photos of Bailey and such!

This was one of my christmas presents from Kris, along with a starbucks tumbler, gift card, yankee candle, and michael kors scarf….. why yes he is an awesome boyfriend!!!!

I had to close new years eve so I decided to be festive for work!! Then the picture below is of Kris' and I just after 12, happy new year to all!!!!

Lastly, I shall share with you my drive home on Thursday evening, and the myriad of emotions that I went through after a 9 hour 15 minute drive back to north carolina. As you all know, i have been blessed with the patience of my delightful father, aka I have NONE. So traffic tends to ruffle my feathers so to speak. Well lets just say this drive plucked every last feather I had by the end of it. There was an accident on every single major road that I went one, EVERY ONE. The lanes went from 4 lanes to 1 lane the day after Christmas. I jumped from rage, to despair, to denial, to annoyance, to suicide, to all out hopelessness …. and this was only 3 hours into the ride. What usually takes me 1 hour to get to baltimore took me 2 and a half, what usually takes 1 hr 45 min to get to washington DC took 4 and a half hours… you can see why I was slightly perturbed in this duration of the drive. But alas I finally got home at 11:40pm and was very ready for bed.

Another blog has come and gone, and since you all are not happy with the frequency of my blogs, I am going to give you a blogging schedule so that you don't have to get on every day and then cry yourselves to sleep with despair when you find that I have not written. Today is January 1, 2014, the next blog will be posted on January 10th, I hope you all will keep reading. Love you!!
