Happy HNT!

Today I started to go through all my old photos to get some to put up in my new place and I came upon a trip Weed and I took to Arkansas many a moons ago. Weed, do you remember these? LOL
They are a riot!


Now in defense of her looking like the hoochie, I have some photos of me in almost the exact same poses as her, but dang it, I can't seem to find them. LOL

Anyway, I came across this photo that was taken on the trip and it always seems to amaze me. I looked pretty good for as pissed off as I was that Weed took that picture of me.

That was sooo long ago! I wouldn't be caught dead in a bikini now. Thank god for old pictures to remind you of how you used to look!

Or do we really want to be reminded?

Happy HNT!

The sad goodbye finally


Here are some pictures that I promised.
I will miss the beauty of Hilton Head, and I already miss the friends I made there tremendously.
The pictures are of times spent, places seen & experiences had.

Finally, I'm back

Well, I finally made it home and I feel like a tornado has already ran me over. I'm not sure if it's the four day move or Saturday nights "welcome home" festivities that Weed made me participate in
(sounds naughty doesn't it?)
or that I feel like I'm walking around in a Ghost town with ghosts from my past but...Whatever the case, I can tell you that I feel like shit.
I'm searching for Toto to comfort me in an unfamiliar place & the Lion to give me courage to be here after 10 years.
The Tin Man would come in handy if he were properly oiled and he had not found his heart yet, then these emotions wouldn't affect me so much. Oh and I've got to find that fricken Scarecrow, maybe he has my brain, because I'm pretty sure I didn't have it when I made this decision.
Okay, not too be too negative because it has only been three days (I know).... but I've absolutely fallen in-love with my little niece. I told myself over and over that I would not allow her to be a spoiled brat,
but damn it...
if she's not the cutest, sweetest and happiest baby ever,
then I don't know what.
I'm already smitten, damn it.
I hope everyone had a fantastic week while I was gone!

Saying goodbye part 2: the heart wrenching departure

Okay guys, sorry to disappoint you, but I have to load up the puter before I will get the chance to post the last part of my Goodbye Series.
I promise that I will post beautiful pictures as soon as I get settled in and maybe I'll turn it into a hello and goodbye thing.
Anyway, everyone take care!
I'll miss you while I'm gone.

Saying goodbye.......

Hello Everyone!
I thought I'd post some fun pictures that I have.
All these pictures are from the two bars that
I worked at.
Funny
I don't have any pictures from my real job
I had while living here.
Anyway,
I've meet some fantastic people.
I'm going to miss them terribly.
But, I know that I'm taking a little bit of them
with me.
The first four are from Montego Bay.
It's the bar I worked at there and
"the boys"

They were so much fun!!!!
Love you guys
















The last two pictures are of the sports bar I
worked at named
Casey's.
Sorry they are so blurry.

It was hard to hold the camera straight
after few shots and beers. I'm just joking.
I loved working at Casey's!
They were like my surrogate family during my time here.
Great friendships were formed at this establishment.
So, that is my little ode to work for my time spent in Hilton Head.
I feel bad that I don't have any pictures to display of my "real job". But, just so you know, I didn't spend all my time hanging out in bars. LOL!
I was the Beach Club Coordinator for one of the plantations on the island. I received an award for the work I did for them at the annual meeting last November. At my going away lunch, I received a wonderful framed original artists rendering of the architectural design for the building that I managed for them. My job there was a great learning experience and once again, I met some wonderful people.
Tomorrow I am going to post some more pictures of my time spent on HHI.
Friends, places & scenery.
I will miss this place!

OMG



hey everyone! I'm sooo sorry that I haven't posted much lately. Maybe this blogger thing isn't for me. But, I have been overwhelmed (which you guys already know) with training the new girl and trying to get everything situated and ready for the move. Tonight, I've been packing FOREVER and it doesn't even look like I've made a dent. Mind you, I am definitely not a pack rat, in fact it drives my mom crazy how much I throw away all the time. Actually, I don't throw it away, I donate it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. But, it disgusts me how much money I spend on nonsense. I've got soo much better, but I have a long way to go still which is quite evident in this packing excursion. But, that can be a whole other post.
Through the last few weeks, I've done a lot of soul searching and I've really been battling with my choice to move, where I'm moving, the job I'm taking, the reasons why I'm moving and why I didn't go somewhere else. I seriously think I've damaged my brain. LOL. Anyway, I'm doing it. I'm praying that there is a guardian angel watching over me and I don't turn into the person I once was and I continue on my path to my happiness. I hope that they are giving me push on the back to make me continue. Or wait, could the nagging in my gut be just nervousness or my angel punching me? LOL Can't decide, but I just keep on trucking!
Here's my HNT, sorry so late and so lame.
Unfortunately it's something I probably won't be doing for a long time.
Dang it!

I probably wont post next week, no puter on Thursday. I'll probably be back the next week with all sorts of stories of a road trip from hell with a mom, a dad, a cat, and of course Elvis. Should be interesting!
