Is this a joke? Ashton??

 So this pretentious white-glove wearing nincumpoop came up to the front desk just a few minutes ago to inquire about the history of the Inn. I informed her that it was built in 1887. A few moments later, she asks who owns it. I informed her of who & then she actually asked me... with all seriousness, I kid you not - "Did he build it then? I mean, he's owned it ever since he built it?".

WOMAN, 1887!
What are you??

Tomorrow is my last day. Thank Heavens.

Name me!

So I was roaming blogger & all of that good stuff... when I came across another cute, interesting blog... unfortunately, of the same name. =( Crap.

I will be re-naming this bloggyblog within the next few days & I am very open to suggestions.

Hook a sister up. =)

Trendsetting?!

As I sealed the envelope & left my official notice of resignation on my manager's desk... here comes my homie & fellow employee (for the moment) right behind me, dropping hers off too. Setting trends everywhere I go. Yessss! =)

It's a little bittersweet, however. I am excited to start my road trip, sad that my husband will be leaving for basic training but okay knowing this will be the beginning to a better life, sad to leave my family & friends behind, but happy to visit with the family & friends I said goodbye to almost 6 months ago.

I suppose this is just one of the many new beginnings I will be having from here on out, as I am so in love with my (almost there) soldier. =)

9/11

It is now technically a day late... but I haven't slept yet so it's okay, this counts. I just wanted to take a moment to remember this day & what we went through as a country just those short years ago. I remember my teacher running into the classroom suddenly to turn on the television & watching the news coverage the entire rest of the day. At that age, I didn't understand exactly what all of it meant... but I knew my heart ached for everyone involved. My heart still aches now.

However, I have to say I am so happy to see that so many people remembered the day, the people more deeply impacted than ourselves & took the few minutes out of their day to speak, pray, write, or reflect.

God Bless!

Oh it feels so good!

Has anyone ever had the distinct pleasure of "sticking it to the man"?

Well, thank you Lord for answered prayers because today was my day!
I've been wrestling with so much at work to try & stick it out through the season for 3 main reasons. 1: For the sake of a good reference. 2: To avoid letting down the bestie who referred me. & 3: Unemployment while I await for the soldier to get his pay started.
I have heard several different reasons rumors as to why or why not I would receive unemployment benefits & so I decided Enough. I'll call & find out myself. LOW & BEHOLD... the only way it seems for me to fight the system to receive benefits in my situation would be if I have to quit my job voluntarily due to a spouse's need of relocation. So, HOLD UP (I say to myself), this whole time the soldier & I have been debating arguing (let's be real) back & forth as to whether or not he should leave out to basic from his hometown (so that he can visit with the family before leaving)... &that's what we really should have planned to do in the first place!? Oh come on!

So, I walked into work today & happily gave my notice. I was like, "Peeeaaace!" - or something similar. =)
