wowie! I had a lot going on today! Phew. Im afraid I must resort to bullets or I will be totally way to long winded.

* I got a new job! Steven and I hadnt really decided if I was going to look for a job, being that summer is nearly here, but a friend knew that I was unemployed and knew I was only needing to work part time…  She offered IDEAL hours as an assistant manager at our local Shoney’s! My hours are m-f 6-10 am. PERFECT. I can go in.. work hard for a few hours and be done. I am really excited about the idea of being able to make a little extra cash AND be able to hang out with my kids this summer. I will be home from work even before the sun is good for laying out! I am tickled to death with the idea. I can apply my paychecks to FUN stuff soo from now on I will be the early bird getting my worm before most people are even out of bed!

* My Dad was helping my cousin’s little boy rig up a fishing rod today and cut his hand pretty badly. It needed 8 stitches!  He seems to be much better tonight and enjoyed recounting his adventure to us this evening.Thing Two was suitably impressed with is story. It was so cute how she kept patting him and watching his hand so carefully when she climbed on his lap.

*Tonight after Thing Two’s ball practice we went to eat at a local institution Harley Hodges BBQ and Grill. It has been in Dillon for generations. My grandmother used to hang out there when my Dad and his siblings were little nearly 50 years ago. Its a REALLY old house that has been transformed into a restraunt. They have BBQ.. but thier super crispy, greasy southern fried chicken is what people come after. They also serve hand cut fries with the best onion gravy you ever had.. as well as slaw that is super sour and creamy and has celery seed in it.. That stuff is so so good. mm mm.

* I have developed a Diet Coke addiction. I have not really been a real pop addict before now. I love lemonade and iced sweet tea together so I have always tended to drink that.. or water. I have also been of the opinion that if I was gonna have a coke I wanted a COKE. The other day I thought a diet coke sounded good.. and ever since I have been drinking it like crazy. The bad thing is.. when I drank regular coke Id just drink one. With the diet I feel like I dont have limits since its calorie free. All that coke cant be good for me. I wonder what the consequenses of going through a 2 liter a day are?
