*Stories*

MOVED IN! Oh and forgot to mention that I have my own Linie (spelling?!) It's a screened in porch.

Kyle and I unloaded Betty and took everything I packed up three flights of steps and threw it into the living room.

He took me to Wal*Mart and bought tooons more stuff. Oh and a new 32in Sanyo TV :) I was a good girl.

The next day, Saturday, I wake up and take a shower. I thought something was really weird about taking this shower but I went about my business. After I am done I realize there was no shower curtain.....so the floor is soaked and it was a mess. Nonetheless, Kyle had to take a shower the same way - but moving the shower head towards the wall.

We get ready for the day and meet Sheila. Aunt Sheila. We were all going to a Habitat for Humanity to look for anything really. Well she got lucky because we found another location at even more discounted prices! She told everyone we were her kids and got us even bigger discounts by her own tactics. Needless to say, we walked out of there with a couch and two end tables for $40.00. Thank you Aunt Sheila. Her boyfriend Bob came to load it up in his truck and to drop it off at my apartment. That's right - my apartment!

Bob and Sheila were both impressed with how much stuff we had unloaded from my car. Bob thought I lived here for awhile! Meanwhile, she looked over my apartment and luckily approved of everything. I like getting her approval! She noticed some things I never would have thought about and we made a list of things to fist. Overall her statement was "I would live here and you did good girl!" I like to here this kind of stuff.

I also got a new bed! A big bed! Kyle and I scoped out some places and found the right place. We talked to the man and he knew a guy that I will be working with. He was odd and told me that I wanted a bed that was "yummy!". All in all, with me working at IMG, and Kyle's awesome negotiating skills we got the mattress, box springs, and the frame for $300. It's a New England brand pillow top. Quite yummy I would say!

Oh and of course Kyle loaded everything on top of Betty (My car if you forgot). This was very embarrassing transporting back to my place. Everyone was looking at me and of course there was a lot of traffic. So I open the door so it would be easier for us to bring it in. Apparently Kyle did not want to wait because muscles picks up the mattresses and carries it up three flights of steps. Oh, my man!

Sometime during all of this we also stopped in the beach to check it out. Gorgeous. I understand this is a bit out of order!

Back to Aunt Sheila.
Her and Bob provided us with a pork barbecue dinner with so many sides and drinks of course. She makes things happen. We also meet her mother who was an adorable lady! She knew Uncle Fred, Uncle Jack and Aunt Joanne, and Bushie and Jaji and some others. She remember most that Jaji gave up his bed for her at camp one day. What a noble man.

Sad story now: Kyle goes home.
Kyle and I headed out to Orlando Saturday night to get a hotel and be up by 5am Sunday morning to see him off. This was a bit rough. That was the moment I realized I was about to be all alone and have my turn of making it by myself. He was the best help I could have ever had and we really did have a great time together. He even put up with my breakdown when we didn't find a place on the first day. Perfect support system. Hmmmm yea he makes me happy :) Hopefully he comes back soon.

I drive home 2 hours by myself with the help of mom, dad, and gramma on the phone. That made it go by quick. I get into my place and it is really quiet. Kind of scary but just the fact that it was mine was way awesome! So I turned on some music, and jumped and danced around naked. Always makes me feel better haha.

The rest of the day I hung out, unpacked a little, watched CSI episodes, and talked to several people on the phone. I went to bed around 10:00 and slept pretty well actually. However, I need to put up my dream catcher just in case.

Monday was about the same way. Several trips to Wal*Mart and dollar stores. Who would have thought I needed so many things. I got a lamp and of course it doesn't come with a light bulb. I didn't realize that until it was dark and I wanted to see. I bought a broom and of course it did not come with a pan. Uh annoying. I also took a break during the day and walked to the beach.

And now to sum up with Today. Tuesday. I woke up early and went to the gym. I decided I need to get skinny to fit in with the rest of the Floridians. Since I do not have much money now I really only have Special K and milk so it is helping with the diet. I was supposed to meet Sheila to help her paint one of the houses she is about to rent out. I owe her a lot so this will help in paying her back! I get a call from her saying change of plans and we were just going to go shopping. So we did. Afterwards we hung out for awhile, had a few drinks, and told lots of stories. Definitely a great hang out session.

Oh and I am looking for an orange tree. I think that would make me official.

Tonight I got my kitchen taken care of. Everything is put away and it looks really nice with all of my appliances. Everything else: not so clean or organized yet! I have a lot of work to do!

Now I am angry that I am watching American Idol instead of Biggest Loser. But the Olympics are the only event that should be able to take over Biggest Loser.

Big news: MY BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD is coming to visit me next week for Spring Break. My other bestest friend from college is too - Mr. Bob Houlihan! Nicole is bring her boyfriend as well so I will have a full house of guests next week. I can't wait. I can't believe my friends are coming to see me all ready like this. Sheila is determined to find me a cheap dining table set or Jaji says we will sit on pillows and eat on the floor like the Chinese.

Well I am not lonely yet. I feel very comfortable where I am at and I am counting down the days till I start at IMG Academies. We will see what happens!

Blogs to follow will not be this long! I will attempt to be better at posting.

Sweet dreams.
