Meet the Cousins, and another brother

Today we went to church together then headed down to Phipps Plaza to go to a restaurant called Twists. It was definately a 'happening' restaurant with the younger set. We met one of my brothers, whom my date had previously met and had dinner with before, my cousin and her husband, whom he met at a race day, and my other brother whom he had only seen from a distance. We all ate lunch together (except the brother previously seen from a distance) and had dessert, when the other brother finally met us.

After lunch we toured Phipps Plaza, stopping in Tiffany's (of course), Teavana, and stopping to chat at one of the courtyard tables. Then the cousins, my date, and myself went to Lenox Square. We went through Anthropologie (of course), the Apple Store, Starbucks, Banana Republic, and back home again. It was a wonderful day.

After driving back from the mall we went to Chili's for dinner. It was late when I got home, parents treated me like a 16-year-old, but who cares? I had a wonderful day!!

Meet the Parents part 2

May 6 - Today, after church, my boyfriend and I had lunch with my Dad, Mom, and one of my brothers. The other one was unable to make it on time due to traffic constraints. It was fun, we went to Fudruckers for lunch, talked about Elvis, unique interior decorations of restaurants, Tennessee, had a delicious hamburger. I honestly thought the lunch went very well, we had a quiet lunch but good conversation with everyone.

After lunch my boyfriend and I went to Marietta to the local art show.

Just Looking . . . . . . .

After a few weeks of deliberating about college, expenses, and where I stand financially I decided to go ahead and search for a new job. Christopher helped me polish my resume, I wrote a cover letter, and for one week submitted about 30 resumes. My head is reeling right now with the amount of job interviews that I have scheduled for this week.

Spring is on its way

This has been a beautiful week. Right now I am in my office wearing short sleeves, yet by the end of the week it is suppose to be cool again. Next week is spring break, so I will have a little reprieve from Philosophy. I am envious of the people who can just pack up and head to the beach or mountains for spring break. I wish I could join them! Instead I have a full time job (which helps pay bills, etc) and that keeps me tied down to one location.

The pear trees are about to be in full bloom. Because there are so many in the area I have become intolerant to the fragrance they produce. Well, if every subdivision, store, and office park didn't use them in landscaping it wouldn't be so bad.

I am currently working on cleaning out my closets. I have taken several bags of shoes and clothes to the local thrift store. I found a bag of McDonald type happy meal toys, I need to take those to the local hospital along with books. Hopefully they will keep someone occupied in the waiting rooms..... one of the happy meal toys has lost a nose as Carsen, my brother's cat, has chewed the dog to bits. He had it for less than one week. Carsen is Mercedes' kitten from her 1st litter.
