Server, Moving, and Birthday
Man did this birthday rock! Starting Thursday, I went into work and my boss pulled me aside before my shift to talk. He and another manager sat me down, asked if everything was alright, got me good and nervous, then promoted me. I start server training on Tuesday. I'm so excited about finally making real money. Plus, I need something to take up all the extra time dropping chem has left for me, and servers give up shifts much more easily than expos do.
Friday I moved Heather into her new place which is a cute little Jr. bedroom in a nice gated apartment complex. It's closer to both her jobs and such a big step for her. I'm excited about it. After moving her in we hit the road (her, Daniel and I) for Nor-Cal and got in around 10 where my parents surprised me with coxinhas (my favorite food) and a 24 pack of Guarana (my favorite soda from Brazil) along with a cake and a song. I love going home and seeing them. I'll miss them when they're not in this country anymore so much. But I'd rather them be gone and happy then accessible and getting by. They deserve their retirement.
Saturday we all slept in and then went to breakfast with my pops at a waffle house before raiding Barnes and Nobles. When we got back I decided that I wanted to drive in the Z3 so I grabbed Daniel and took it for a spin while Heather showered. She wasn't feeling so hot so I thought I'd buy her a gift in puppy form. Obviously her new place wouldn't allow a real one so I got her the dalmation version of Nintendogs for the DS since her last dog was a dalmation and she misses her tons. It's cute to see her play with her new pet. I wish I could get her the real thing. Some day perhaps.
Anyways, that night was the real party. A bunch of peeps flaked but we still rolled 20 deep on the party bus to a club pretty much to ourselves in SF. There was so much drinking and dancing and amazing people that I don't get to see nearly enough. Kirsten and I made sure to party like it was our birthdays and we paid for it in full, but so worth it. Her, Heather, Daniel, Mariana, Andre, Gustavo, and J had breakfast at their house this morning before us So-Cal peeps headed back home. I don't know how they pack so much awesome into my life but I'm not complaining.
Now I'm back in my bed with my baby next to me looking forward to a week of training, 2 Zoology tests, and more running. Life is glorious!
