Going strong

Wednesday. Day 4 alone.

I started the day with taking a walk around my pond...and also taking a picture to rub it into Nicole's (best friend) face via text message. I then made my way into the gym towards destination skinny. The diet is going very well since I can only afford Special K and milk for now. I am spending my money on much more important items - like decorations.

Aunt Sheila provided me with a coupon of $30 off after spending $100. Of course I had no problem accepting. So I had another fun day of shopping.

While shopping for bathroom items, I ran into 3 older ladies who were redecorating a bathroom as well. We ended up indulging in conversation and I preceded to tell them this was the most interaction I have had with anyone here! I helped them with their choices as they helped me. With comments of "Oh hunny you have to get this....oh and this is a must! Oh and this color will be fabulous as an accent. And this too!" I let them put everything into my cart and then when they left - I took it all out. They were all old high school girlfriends and they still get together once a year in Florida to just hang out. I will never forget this day in the isle of toilet bowl cleaners, waste bins, and toothbrush holders where three outrageous women started off with asking me if "this looked good" to saying that I am a wonderful person with a bright future and that they will pray for me. It ended with a hug and we parted ways. Yes, I know I hate hugs.

Update -
Kitchen decorated. Check.
Bathroom decorated. Check.

I then headed off to Bank of America to start an account. The lady there, Jamie, was super friendly and helped me out a lot. Yet again she is not from Florida. Nobody is, but I am destined to find at least one! This is also the bank where after spending $12.50 it will round up and put the additional .50 into my savings (example). I like this idea. I also signed up for another credit card. I only have one so I decided it would be okay. I will only accept if the interest is low enough because it is individually based. Cha-Ching? Just playin'.

How could I forget?! My bathroom looks gorgeous. Practically right out of HGTV. Seashell theme with teal and light blue colors.

Later on, while on my linie (I really should look up the appropriate spelling) I spotted 3 men getting out of a car that I am thinking were about my age. Of course I am excited because I have not met anyone my age yet. Secretly I tried to make myself noticeable and wandered around to try to catch their attention. Mission failed. I was too late for them to see me. I will continue spying.

I had very long phone conversations today with my gramma and Bushi and Jaji. This makes my day go faster and of course provides time to talk about me :) and them.

Another interruption - I would like to thank everyone for voting on Facebook concerning my McKelvey scholarship. They just sent me an additional $1,300 to assist in paying off my last semester.

Dinner was delicious tonight. 2 eggs toast and banana cream pudding for dessert. Soon I will end my night in Olympics and possibly talking with Kyle.

Tomorrow I have hopes of not spending money and getting the bedroom unpacked. But I am accepting towards a change of plans.

I must be good company because I am not yet lonely.
