My poor, neglected blog!

Hello, my poor, neglected blog!  I haven't seen you since September when I thought it would be a good idea to chronicle the days leading up to the trip of a lifetime: Seeing the 1989 World Tour in Atlanta, GA, with my cousin Meghan.  Well, let me tell you it was a blast.  Poor girl had a jacked up thumb and still put on the show of the year.  Piano made her pay though, she hit one note and her hand went flying up like birds after hearing a gunshot. It was simultaneously the funniest yet saddest thing to witness. Taylor Swift did a really good job though, and even though we didn't get to meet her, it's always going to be something I remember. ...especially since all of a sudden my clock has decided to start singing Shake It Off again.  I just started noticing it again the other day. STRANGE STUFF!!!!

I also got to see World of Coke. That was pretty fun for me and I think my cousins had a blast as well.  We made several trips to Taco Bell, which I absolutely LOVED! We even went in the middle of watching Escanaba en da Moonlight because how could I be 32 and have never seen it???  Well, I live in the dark no longer! PLUS it was Taco Turrsday. But I think Dia De Los Tacos was my favorite.. Mexican style brunch with the whole family and some of my cousin's friends.  We got a really nice picture.


Overall, I loved everything about the trip...except going home, of course.  Word on the street is Atlanta cried for a WEEK when I left (rain). 

And my life only picked up in a big way from that point.  By November, I had a new shift, which meant I changed from working 3p-11p "I can't believe I'm so tired all day" to working 6:30a-2p "How do people wake up this early" shifts. Plus fill-ins occasionally.  But I've since figured it out, and although the poor folks who have to work with me past 4pm don't get to see much energy from my exhausted shell at least I get them through the busy part of the day, ha.  

So, I'm keeping busy. That's pretty evident in my ability to keep up on blogging, I guess.  Now I'm used to being up and going in the morning and I "sleep in" on Saturdays until 6:30.  

I never thought I would be that person.
