Thankfully I’m not one.

If I had to watch what I eat all the time and work out 5 days a week I think I’d go crazy. I’d also be failing miserably at it right now. Working a “9-5″ leaves me no interest to cook anything when I get home, so I eat fast food for pretty much every meal. Popeye’s owns me. Seriously. I did manage to get motivated for about 3 days and go to the gym. Since then though…  eh, not so much. I’m hoping the uphill walk from the parking lot to my work building constitutes as enough daily exercise to keep me from becoming a fat ass. Although, I seriously doubt it. Especially considering I only go into the office 3 days a week. The other 2 days all I have to do is roll out of bed and onto my couch. Working from home really is lovely.

So now, while I may not be a supermodel, I am in fact – SUPER!

And I’m out.

I managed to go the whole months of March & April without updating this, and for that I apologize. It makes me wonder how people manage to have jobs and blog at the same time, cause when I come home from work all I want to do is fall out on the couch and watch Friends reruns. Looking at the computer all day at work, and then coming home and looking at it some more just doesn’t appeal to me all that much… and my computer used to pretty much be my life. Sad times, sad times.

But life is good. Work is good. ATL is good.

I wasn’t sure how the transition into the “real world” was going to be, but it hasn’t been bad at all. Plus the fact that I can work from couch makes it even lovelier… and the money don’t hurt either.

I’m loving ATL too, but that’s no surprise. I’ve always enjoyed Atlanta and the abundance of things to do here. Plus the fact that the clubs here are actually clubs is a refreshing change as opposed to frat parties being held in Chili’s or at some Chinese buffet… yeah. I’m glad to finally be able to leave the life of a college student behind.

While this may not be the most interesting update, I believe it serves it’s purpose of letting you know that I am in fact not dead well. Besides, I’ve been promised that some entertainment will be going on in the comments section of this entry…

So, let the entertainment begin.

Your girl got a job. I’m moving to the city.

This whole job searching process wasn’t exactly the groove, so I’m definitely glad that it’s over.  And, after all this I ended up getting two job offers within the same company. Two! Who would’ve thunk it.

I did accept their offer for a position as a Project Specialist and pretty soon I will be on my way to ATL.

I will say that I’m glad it turned out this way.  They say everything happens for a reason, and I believe them. Being able to have these 2 months to rest and relax (read: sit on my ass) instead of jumping right into work is definitely what I needed. Plus, I’m working for whom I believe to be a great company, with great pay and great benefits.

I just hope corporate America is ready for me.

I’m tired of living in the country.

I’m tired of stepping out my door and hearing cows and roosters.

I’m tired of getting stuck behind tractors on the road.

I’m tired of worrying that my house is going to be blown away during a big storm.

I’m tired of living in small town that revolves solely around the university and football.

I’m just tired.

I need to be in a city. A city with high-rise buildings. With clubs that stay open past 2 and aren’t filled with college students. I need to be in a city with options. More than one movie theatre. More than one bowling alley. More than one mall. I need to be in a city filled with diversity.

And if for no other reason, I need to move simply for the fact that my landlord is stalking me.

You know how sometimes there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, but you just need that little push to actually do it? That’s how I was about my newest online venture. I have always wanted to start a shopping blog. I mean… it makes perfect sense for me.

I shop. Online. All the time.

I guess I just needed that little bit of motivation and the other day I got it. But not in a “yeah girl, you definitely could do this” kinda way, more in a “you’re not finna do that, why are you even wasting my time talking to me about it” kinda way. So of course, I had to do it. Not only to prove it to him but to prove it to myself.

So thanks guy. And no, this is not a dedication to you. I’m not even going to acknowledge you. Unless this fails, then you’ll get all the credit.

Check it out. Let me know what you think. Tell all your friends!

I’ve been out of school for almost 2 months now, so my daily activity of doing absolutely nothing has given me a lot of time to ponder my years spent in college and what I learned over those years.

1. On campus housing not only comes with free internet connection but it also comes with an endless supply of roaches. Now, I’ve always stayed off campus so I was lucky enough to bypass this luxury, but I’ve known a many who did and while visiting I’ve on more than one occasion turned my head to come face to face with one.

2. Spending all day on the yard socializing instead of going to class can oftentimes lead to very unfortunate tan lines. I learned this the hard way after wearing a shirt with criss-cross straps that led to a very white, very noticeable X on my back for the rest of the summer. Let’s just say it severely cut down my clothing options for awhile after that.

3. Moving closer to a fight to get a better view probably isn’t the best idea. Now, you know you’ve done it too. You’re at a party, someone starts fighting and you just got to get closer to see what’s going on. It seems harmless until get you hit in the head with a stray bottle. Yeah… it happened to me.

Good thing I have a hard head.
