Pooja and Laura Visit

At the end of February, Pooja and Laura came to visit!  I was so excited to see their lovely faces!  It had been way too long.  Seeing my buddies is the only thing I miss about being in school!  We started off the weekend by staying up way too late chatting (not surprising).  We shopped till we dropped at the outlet mall in Commerce.  Allan took us to an art show downtown and then taught us how to make sushi.  We took a little trip to Atlanta where we saw the Bodies exhibit, the Coke museum, and the aquarium.  It was such a fun weekend with good friends and exactly what I needed to break up the monotony of work, work, work.

Ghost Stories

I've been a busy little bee lately.  I've been working some major overtime hours the last two months.  I'm not complaining though, because it is definitely a blessing.  I am, however, relieved that my work schedule is starting to look a little more normal.  Here's a little story about one of the more interesting places that I worked in January.  I never have to travel too far for work, but another district was desperate for some help so I volunteered to work four days out of town.  The city I traveled to was Americus, GA.  I stayed in the Windsor Hotel located downtown.  It is a Victorian style hotel that was built in 1892 and is absolutely beautiful.  I was so excited to stay there until the wee hours of the morning rolled around.  The hotel is home to a very popular bar that produces a lot of noise that would keep a person who had to be up at 8am to work a 14 hour shift awake.  So, in the middle of the night I get on my phone to see what time this bar might be closing to find out if I may or may not be able to go to sleep anytime soon and I find this!  Needless to say I was a little freaked out.  I obviously survived the trip, but I don't think I could ever stay there alone again!  Allan and I may make a trip at some point to stay a night.  Ghost stories are more fun when you are not alone!
