I'm Doing Laundry at the Hotel

My colleague, Carmen, and I walked to Burger King today for lunch. When we got to the parking lot, this dude stepped up on the sidewalk in front of us and we actually had to stop so we didn't run into him. Then when we got to the door, he opened it wide enough only for himself to get through and made no attempt to hold it for us... we were RIGHT behind him. We went up to the counter to order and the worker gave the dude a strange look as he walked away... so I said to her, "Yeah, he's kinda weird." She said that she asked him if his order was to stay or to go and he replied with, "Just ring it up. You don't need to know what I'm doing." What an effing jerk! And a creep! What the hell is wrong with people? Only in Alabama, right? Ha ha ha!
I'm loving the Black Dagger Brotherhood series... I lent the first book to Aurs and haven't heard what she thinks of it. I finished the 2nd book last week and am about 1/4 of the way through the 3rd book. So hot... so steamy... so fab! I love them!

Work has been sooo crazy the last few weeks. I have to say, though, it's a nice change to be busy rather than twiddling my thumbs waiting for the hours to pass by. We've been pulling 10+ hour days, then coming back to the hotel and working. I finally decided that I'm not working at the hotel anymore, unless something absolutely has to be finished. I need time to wind down and chill.I talked to my mom earlier and she was waiting for my dad at Home Depot. I guess they were heading over to my house to hang some stuff up... the drapes and the stuff in the half-bath downstairs. Apparently we have a screen now on the sliding door to the backyard, but still no other repairs have been done. There were a few things that needed to be fixed after doing the walkthrough... the fans still need to be installed, as well. I guess the Contractor threw out his back and hasn't been able to get to it. BTW, those are my drapes, but in brown, not red... they're really cute! These are the designs of the two sweatshirts I ordered. Apparently they arrived today. I can't wait to get home and wear them! Aren't they cute?

I'm watching the news right now and there was a bomb threat at the Montgomery Regional Airport. Who in their right mind would make a bomb threat at that airport?! There are only six gates and possibly 25 people who work there! You would think if someone was going to make a bomb threat, it would be at a more significant point of interest. Again, people are dumb. Why can't we all just get along?
Oh yeah.... Auri got her shnoz pierced today... without me. Rude, much?!

I've gotta iron my tops for work tomorrow and Friday. I did a load of laundry a little bit ago and my pants are hanging up drying. I had to do a load because I have 1 pair of pants for the week. Yeah, remember that story I told you yesterday? I'm heading into day 3 of 4 in the same pair of pants. Hey, at least they're clean! I bought some Tide in a single load packet for $1 at Target and have kept it in my suitcase. The hotel has a washer and dryer and provides free laundry supplies. Isn't that cool?! I'm excited by the little things these days.
Well, I better run. Hope y'all are having a fab week. The cable, internet and phone are going to be hooked up tomorrow, so I'll be back in the real world this weekend! Yippee!!!

I can't believe what a moron that guy was, maybe he's been drinking too much alabama sasparilla.

Okay, I need to know what it is exactly that you do because a) I am curious and b) I LOVE hotels.

The drapes look great! And yes, I visualized them in brown. :)
