So guess who is super excited??
ME!!
Tonight I was in the office at work and I see my name on this little badge thing. My name, and then another badge with one of the cook's names. And I'm like "hmm.. that's funny" because I wonder what could possibly single me out like that. But apparently I got voted Employee of the Month!!! How cool is that?! Honestly, I am so stoked. I haven't been voted or won anything since I got Sophomore Class VP and "Prettiest Girl" in my Spanish II class. Yes, please laugh. And that was, what, 4 years ago? So you can see why this is the coolest thing ever.
Anyway, plus it tells me that either people like me at work, or that I work hard and it isn't going unnoticed. It just makes me wonder though.. exactly who voted for me and why? You know? I just wish there was a way to find out, but it's almost better just letting it be. No need to dissect things like that.
In any case, it was a little self-esteem boost, and we all need one of those sometimes.
I feel like life is pretty damn good right now, actually. And that scares me because when life gets good, I wonder when it will get bad again. Like maybe my car will break down, or I'll get a speeding ticket, or someone in my family will fall ill... I don't know. It just scares me and I don't like to think about it. Call me a pessimist, but I would rather expect the worst, and be surprised in a good way if it turns out otherwise. Although I'm not ALWAYS a pessimist.
Speaking of good surprises..
I went to Alabama this weekend to surprise Mr. Kyle Fraser for his 21st birthday! I've been planning that since the last time I visited him 3 weeks ago, and it was soo hard to keep the secret but so much fun, too. I'm just glad it worked out. He said it was the best birthday ever, and I had a really really fun time, so it worked out perfect.
Getting there was a hassle though. Friday night I missed the plane. Am I an idiot? Yes. Saturday morning, I was running late AGAIN, and missed the airport exit. And I'm not talking like, I missed the exit and turned around at the next one.. I'm talking I was 15 miles past it on the interstate, and started seeing things that I only see on the way to Clemson and I was like SHIT. Haha. So then I get there, and get in the right turning lane to find parking.. The light turns green and the car in front of me does NOT move. I mean it sits there, and I sit there waiting for what seems like about 3 minutes. Then, I officially feel like an idiot when I realize that THERE IS NO ONE IN THE DAMN CAR. It is just SITTING THERE, and I am sitting behind a parked car waiting to turn right. So now I'm super pissed off, but I'm laughing at myself.. Until I realize that the long term parking lots are FULL. This only happens to me. So now I'm just pissed off. Finally I get parked and get inside and sure enough, I missed that flight too.
Luckily there was another one 2 hours later and needless to say, I was on time for that one. But the whole episode did remind me of the time I was sitting at the gate, listening to my iPod (before it broke.. RIP), and had the music up so loud that I missed the plane. I didn't hear when they called for boarding or when they called my name to see if I was in the area.. Haha. I am really stupid when I travel.
I bought Season One of Grey's Anatomy and am sooo glad that I did. It is amazing.
I'm trying to decide which upcoming concerts to go to.
Any input from my friends?
This includes, but is not limited to:
--Rascal Flatts
--Hootie & the Blowfish
--Warped Tour
--Counting Crows/Goo Goo Dolls
--Dashboard
--Matisyahu
--Lynyrd Skynyrd/3 Doors Down
--Kenny Chesney (seen him once)
--Toby Keith (seen him once as well)
--Aerosmith
--Tom Petty
Damnit, I'm so indecisive.
And I also like way too many guys for my own good. None of which are dateable. Silly me.
On a final note, I facebook-friended a girl I knew when I was little. She moved to Texas and I haven't seen her since like 5th grade. It made me sad and happy to look at her facebook because I got to see (somewhat) the kind of person she turned out to be, but at the same time, it reminded me of the fact that people walk in and out of our lives and I don't think that I'll ever truly be able to accept that.
