A week!

     I've been here for a whole week just about now. It's been very busy here with two little ones running around. My sleep schedule is so wonky! It's hard to sleep when no one will leave you alone. I haven't started work yet but I am supposed to start work this week. I havent done a lot here. But I did make a awesome bathroom! The theme being MICKEY! I'll post some pictures of it soon. I went to Mommy and me gymnastics with sis and the little one. He was so adorable doing all of these moves. We got our microwave fixed which makes me very happy. I did not realize how dependent I am on it until I didn't have it.
    In a week or so my Momma is going to be here. It will only be for a couple of days but oh joy how cool will that be. I can show her whatever I know. (Which I hope is a little more by then.) I actually cannot wait to start work. i feel kinda pitiful here without a job only because I am so used to one.

While at home....

     I realize that I have not posted in a long time but I thought to myself "This is a blog about my Atlanta travels and I'm in Cincinnati". But I would write a brief summary of what has been happening to me while I've been in Cincy.

     This whole moving away thing has been surreal to me. I still don't think that I've personally realized the huge step I am about to take. I slowly moved out of the condo with the help of friends and family. My roommate got ever meaner as the days went on. All I could think was geez you geezer I only have a few days left can't you pretend to be nice for them? I had a party with a few people from work and it was great! It's weird to realize how many lives you touch in your time somewhere.

     My friends and I had a little gathering last night. My friends mom got me this adorable Mickey Mouse watch and matching cookie cake! Then we played this cool game called Betrayal at House on Haunted Hill. It was very cool. I will have to introduce my sis to it. Packing for this move has been terrible. I am just so overwhelmed I basically need someone to tell me the next thing to do. Everyone was looking at me today for the next step and I just didn't have it. I cannot wait to see my kittens tomorrow!

Final Tester Day (Day Seven)

     Yesterday was nice because the whole family was home and free to hang. We played this game as a family called Ticket to Ride. It was great plus there was the added bonus that I won the game. My elder nephew came over and said that he would be on my team. Then he would leave to play. Only to come back when the game was almost over. It was pretty funny. I think he chose me as his team mate because I was winning. Or at least it seemed that way to him. Then I went upstairs to spend some finals quality time with my kittens. I left them there to eliminate the travel time with them and make it easier for them as well.
     The sis and I watched Something Borrowed which we both decided was a bad movie. The characters are un lovable. Not to mention the whole situation with the best friend having and affair with her best friends man hit a little close to home. Nice thing about Atlanta is that I kinda forget about things back in cincinnati. Then she and I realized that I might have a fever. I went to bed around midnight which if you know me at all is unusual. Anyway I'm typing all of this up as we drive back home. I can tell grandma wants me to be more "present".

Trial Day Six

My favorite picture!

Today was a blast. Sis did my hair amazingly and added feathers. They look totally awesome. She loves to play with my hair which is good for me since I cannot do anything with it. I love my lil sis MC but its hard to convince her to do my hair. I do have tons of it. Every time I go to get it cut I feel like they should collect the cuttings to make a wig. Then we went out to deliver my application to Best Buy.
I have to admit I looked completely adorable. Sometime this week I will upload a picture. I talked to their operations senior, he was very nice. He was super excited that I was transferring. He said he would give me a call within the week! He might even have a full time position open within the department I work at the other store. After the good news sis, her hubby, and I went to pick up some drinks to have a good evening at home. We played this game called Dominion which was fun. Then sis and I talked a lot about what she knew about the adoption. Really what she knew about me. It was nice to have someone so open to talking to me. Others have spoken before her but whenever I talk to grandma she cries and I feel bad bringing it up around my mom.

My feathers.

Trial Day Four

     Today was super fun for me! We went to see where the Best Buy is around here and found a really cool one. It is in the mall of Georgia which is about five miles from home. It's front is a cool looking mosaic whereas my old Best Buy is just the same old Best Buy blue. They have a Magnolia in their store which is like this super uber home theater area. For the most part the store is the same set up as my current store. I also talked to three employees and they were all very nice. One thing that was weird though I feel like a giant in comparison to people here. I am only 5'8" which I consider average but people here seem like they are very small.
     Inside the actual mall of Georgia there is a .... Disney Store. I lit up like a Christmas tree when I went inside. It was like having a little piece of home with me. I am going to apply to that store like it is nobody's business! Also I applied at that Best Buy store I just am waiting to hear back from my manager to see if it was faxed over today or not. Then we came home and the older nephew played a computer game with me. After that sis and I went to the grocery store and I learned the basics of extreme couponing. (For the rational mind.) Tonight once she gets the little one to bed we are going to play this crazy board game she was talking about on my first day here.

Trial Day Three

     Today was day three of my vacation/ trail run here in Georgia. Sissy went out this afternoon to do a Doula prenatal with her client. While she was gone grandma and I were alone with the youngest nephew. I have no idea why but that two year old run's around naked as a jay bird all the time. I tried desperately to get a diaper on him but it turned into a game for him as almost everything does and I was unsuccessful. Anyway Grandma stayed downstairs watching her Obama on the tube. I ran around with the little one for a bit. Made a mess of ordering a pizza and then got him to nap with me.
     I thought great I got him to fall asleep but when I told sis she seemed amazed, saying that he doesn't fall asleep for anyone but her. While he napped I picked up a bit re- arranged in preparation and watched Whipeout.  I also but in my two weeks today. Neither of my managers were in so I don't have my exact departure date but I'll find out tomorrow. I love it here. It may not be forever but I'm super excited for the opportunity for the change.
     Also we have so many plans for the future already I'm excited. Also I feel like I am needed here whereas at home I know I'm not. I think I sorta thrive on that. Maybe that's what's been missing?
