Team Players
If everyone does a little, nobody has to do a lot. This is all too true; yet, some people at my work place feel the need to completely ignore this philosophy. Good to know, though, that those people will not be working at Mimosa very long. :) Working there is great, but tiring. I'm pulling 10 shifts on average every week. The money is good, but I'm exhausted already!
Not much is happening in my life except work. My birthday is coming up and we will be having a cook out (courtesy of my mom). I'm pretty excited about that, but birthdays don't really mean that much these days. I guess I've hit all the good milestones - 18 and 21, haha.
My bicycle got stolen from work yesterday. I'm really upset because now I'm either going to have to go without, or spend a lot of money to get another one which will derail my budget that I spent a couple hours figuring out how to be debt free before 24. Decisions decisions.

Life at Mimosa
I've begun my dinner training at Mimosa Grill now. I am very pleased. Everyone has been so welcoming and have gone out of their way to say how they are happy to have me as an addition to the dinner servers. (I think they just want some days off, but who can blame them?)
I keep calling CPCC, but they are not returning my messages and I'm not getting an answer at anytime that I call. I may try to go there tomorrow to get some answers. Time is ticking. I have not yet gotten my NC drivers lisence. I need to hurry up and do that so my year to establish residency for tuition purposes is sooner rather than later.
Other than working, I haven't had much time for anything. I should take pictures of the progress of the house. I'm completely moved in. I think Christopher still has some stuff he wants to do, but everything is IN the house. I think Joe is pretty much moved in, too. There are just boxes upon boxes stacked up everywhere. We need to get rid of that business. I heard that cockroaches come from the glue on cardboard boxes. Gross!

Busy Bee
Wow. I have been so extremely busy that I've completely neglected this blog. Here are some quick highlights. The boys and I are pretty much completely moved into the house. I think Christopher has a few things left at his apartment, but his lease is up May 14, so he definitely has to get his things out of there quickly. My room is still completely messy. I don't have a dresser or anything, so I'm trying to save money for one, or I could just decrease the amount of clothes I have.
This will be my last week at Big Daddy's. I'm happy because I won't have to drive all the way down to Ballantyne almost every day. Thank goodness!! However, I'm kind of sad because it's super easy work and I make decent money there. Apparently, I'll be making more money at Mimosa for dinners, so hopefully that'll work out.
I'll be going down to Columbia Friday for Michelle's masters graduation. I'm so proud of her and happy for her! I'm thinking of going to CPCC for dental hygiene. I have to wait a year to become in-state for tuition purposes. Oh how I hate waiting!!
I bought a second-hand bicycle on Sunday. I'm so happy! I can start riding it to work (Mimosa) so I can park my car. I also live within walking distance to the grocery store, plenty of food establishments, and local watering holes :) Hopefully I'll rarely have to drive. Christopher had a grocery bag pannier and a basket that he doesn't use on his bicycle, so we attached it to mine. This is all coming together quite beautifully. I feel all is well with the world right now.
