Hmmmm

Today is a little here and there.  I got up and got ready and headed out to the office of my new job.  They slapped me with a shirt and a clipboard and sent me out into the world... I had no training or anything.  So.... Yeah.  I spent about 20 min with one of the sales reps and he kind of went over some things with me and also came to about 3 houses with me.  But then he left me to fend for myself.  haha  What a fun day.  I think I got the street with people that woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  I know that I must not get discouraged because I have done this before and I know that I am good at it.  But I also know that I don't know the product at all.  So this weekend I am working on learning what I need to know.  GO ME!! 

Other than that, I am starting a new diet.  I want to lose 60 lbs if I can.  That is about 12 lbs a month if I can do it.  It is not impossible for the average human being, but with me.... Well we will see.  haha 

So I cooked a bunch of healthy food today to start on Monday.  And now I am going to go get some Burger King... At 11:30pm.  lol  Off to a good start hey?  I know I know.  But I don't have and real food in the house. 

So tomorrow is Easter.  HAPPY EASTER!!!  To everyone who reads this.  I hope you all have a wonderful day and have a great time with your loved ones.  :-)

Me?...?  Well I am going to be studying my pitch.  HA 

Off to get food then bed.  Good Night!!

Rainy Dayz

Yesterday was a good one.  I listened to Toledo Surprise as I drove out of Toledo and then talked to my mother about it a little later.  We had a laugh.  The rest of the drive was wonderful and so beautiful.  It reminds me a lot of the outskirts of Alpharetta Georgia.  So green and full.  The drivers are a little crazy in VA, but I guess you find that everywhere.  Once I got into VA I called my new roommate, (Chelsea) and asked her if she had a key for me.  She was out selling so she told me to go to Tim's house.  It was his wife's birthday so everyone was going over there after to have cake and ice cream.  I decided that I would go for a tan to kill some time then go over to Tim's house.  So there I was, so tired, covered in tanning lotion, no makeup and not showered and surrounded by happy go lucky people.  I tried very hard to be a happy person.  Once I had a piece of cake I was a little better, but still so tired.  After the little party, Chelsea showed me where we lived and her and 3 of the bug boys helped me unload my car.  How sweet of them hey?  I then spent the rest of the evening unpacking and getting things put in their place. 
I had a wonderful night sleep.

So today is the first full day that I spent in Virginia.  I got up and showered and headed out.  I went to Walmart and filled a cart full of randoms that I needed such as a shower curtain, a shower cadi, a vacuum, some hangers... And the list goes on.  Then I went for a tan... (gotta get some glow on my skin) then I went to the grocery store.  Everything is so organic here that is is annoying.  But I am not going to force my opinion on anyone, but still...  During all of this it rained and rained and rained... As I write this, it is still raining.  UGH  but I have a beautiful Utah Utes umbrella that I am using.  So it is allllll good.  Then once I got home and started putting everything away the lids to my pots were broken.  So I jumped back into the car and went back to Walmart and got new ones. 

Other than that, I have done dishes and hung stuff up and that is about it.  Work starts tomorrow morning.  Wish. Me. Luck!!

Good night!

Duet Day

Duet: an action or activity performed by a pair of closely connected individuals

So today was a great day.  I got up and jumped in my car and drove.  For about 3 hours this guy in a crappy girly car and I did the dance of circling cars.  I would pass him and then get into the right lane then he would pass me and get in front of me and then I would pass him... And so on.  The weird thing is that my car was on cruise the whole time (besides being behind a Semi Truck), so... he was the one driving fast then slow at a constant. 

I am staying in Toledo, Ohio tonight.  I get a huge kick out of the fact that I am staying here.  The sad thing is that no one else appreciates the reason as to why I find it so amusing except for my mother.  I must call her in the morning.  Oh yes and there is a TIM HORTON'S here!!!  I am sooooo very excited to get a hot chocolate and a donut in the morning. 

For La trek (even though I know you don't read this), I passed about 8 Cattle Barons today.  I thought of you every time I passed one.  Fat in a bowl.  HAHA 

Some of the people I saw today were very interesting.  There was a guy that had his whole finger in his nose... Not sure if it was stuck or not.  There was also a guy who I am sure had a tick or was OCD or something.  He kept twitching his head and moving his rear view mirror back and forth.  I finally got a little creeped out and had to pass him.  There was also a girl that was following me for a while and every time she ran her hand through her hair, her car would veer into the shoulder... Just goes to show that most women can't drive OR they can't multi task while they drive.  lol KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL!!

So when you leave Nebraska and they welcome you into Iowa there is this amazing bridge that has big metal statues on each side of it.  I took a picture, so I will have to look at it again but I swear they looked like Edward Scissor Hand's Hands!  lol They were so neat. 

So enough chatter for tonight.  I am tired and I have 8 more hours to drive.  Good Night!!

First day on Route...

Today was my first day heading to Virginia.  I am truly excited but the drive is like pulling teeth... lol It is amazing, you can set your cruise control at a nice 82 miles per hour and lean your seat back and take a nap.  That is if your wheels are aligned of course...  Haha  It is nothing but a straight road all through Wyoming and Nebraska!!  I feel sorry for the men who had to lay the asphalt.  lol talk about a boring job.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE those men who built the road, it is just a really long stretch of nothing.

So on my trip today I counted 6 trains going in all different directions.  Not too exciting but what can you do on a straight path that goes on forever?  lol 

Oh and I also saw this huge statue of Abe Lincoln's head.  It was totally awesome!!  I wish I had my camera out at that time.  Maybe on the way back.... Ugh I'm not going to think about that.  ;-)

Wyoming is a very windy state.  My little car was being pushed all over the place.  It rocked once the wind was pushing me from behind though.  Talk about a good way to make your fuel last longer.  I noticed that they have these weird wood fences everywhere.  I'm not sure if they are put there to make the wind not as gusty or if they have a different purpose.  I plan on googling it in the future.

Nebraska is a lot of straight nothing.  But I did spend most of it driving through clouds.  It was very foggy through out the whole state.  Kind of like it but kind of don't.  I guess it is a bit scary in the night, I'm not gonna lie. 

Anyway, that is all I have to say about my first day.  More to come tomorrow night.  :-)
Maybe I will post pictures tomorrow too.  We will see.

Good Night!
