More of the tree that fell over during the storm

Iwo Jima

Washington, DC

I Got to go to Washington DC this weekend and meet up with Meghan Adam and Bailey - 3 former Western Baptist/Corban College friends. Bailey is a nanny for a family in DC and Adam and Meghan flew out for the weekend while I drove the 4 and a half hours up. The pictures are a little out of order but Ill try and let you know what they are. On Saturday we drove up to Maryland and went in the Sassafras river with some of Bailey's friends. Some of them were wake boarding while we soaked in the sun. After the river we headed to Deleware for about 2min and then back down to DC. On Sunday we did the whole Washington thing and then I drove back on Monday.

Taco Bell

For some reason I just haven't been to Taco Bell since I moved out here. Today was the day and boy have I been missing out. So after waiting a few minutes while the 3 workers behind the counter argued about who is going to ring us up, this younger lady walks up to the register. I order my food and with tax it comes to $4.95. I hand her a $10. She then accidentally types in that I gave her a $5 and immediately starts to stress. I wasn't fully paying attention until I hear her say "how much do I owe you" and then "I know....I've got a calculator in the car..." and she ran right past me out the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next, the manager walks up and goes "what did she do now" and I explain how she needed to figure out the change to give me. The manager (thank goodness) was like, so she just needed to give you $5.05? After I nodded trying not to laugh and still somewhat in shock over the situation she left to get her keys. Well, the calculator made it back before the manager and she was indeed able to use it to get me that change.

I LOVE TACO BELL.

I Often Forget....

That...

When someone here says "USC" they are talking about the University of South Carolina and not the University of Southern California.

When I say I am going to Washington....everyone here assumes I am going to DC.

When I say I am going to Portland....that means I will soon be in Maine.

Sweet New Camera! And Other News.....

I see I have become a terrible blogger!
Last week my mom sent me this sweet camera....its the new Kodak EasyShare- 10 mega pixels! Hopefully now you can look forward to seeing more pictures on this thing!

Not too much going on here....still pretty busy with the jobs and running back and forth. Although I must say this month has been nice since the new house has not opened and we are over staffed. So basically I work half the time at the house, which creates at least 2 days off a week from both jobs with the same pay!

Starbucks was kind enough to send all of its employee's a free playlist from itunes to celebrate the new partnership.....unfortunately after downloading it many of us now cannot sign onto itunes! Its been a week and they still haven't fixed it! Maybe they should have worked out all the kinks before mailing it out to thousands of employees.
