Just found out this morning that my older brother was promoted to Chief of the Fire Department in the town where I grew up.
Congrats Brother! I am so freaking proud of you I can't even explain.
It has been a life-long dream of his to be a firefighter and let me tell you, he kicks ass at it.
When I was in high school he used to let me go on smaller calls with him if they were close to the house. I have even watched him single-handedly put out a small brush fire by himself.
So, you probably get the point of this post already. My brother rocks. I couldn't be prouder of him.

Shout out to Sherry
I just called AT&T to ask a question about my bill. I kind of knew the answer, but it definitely needed to be double checked.
Anyhoo the person helping me, Sherry, was super nice and very quick to get to the bottom of my billing question, also supplying me with the answer I was pretty sure I was going to get going into this call.
Imagine my surprise when, at the end of everything, she thanked me for being so nice when I called and told me I was the nicest caller she had had all day.
I seriously blushed.
I informed her that I, too have worked in a call center and in customer service so I understand the trials and tribulations of the job.

Hmmm
What is it about an upcoming trip that makes you spend lots of money?
What is it about Mondays that makes people let a little too much of the crazy out? I have a co-worker who constantly lets people know that today is the worst day of their life. I have a hard time understanding this.
I mean, I have bad days. Lots of them. But they usually aren't that bad.
I would be more apt to exclaim that today is the most "meh" day of my life than anything else.
I think I will begin all conversations from now on my letting people know that "TODAY IS THE MOST MEH DAY OF MY LIFE."
I think it will be fun.

Two Posts!
One Day!
Also - 2 things I have just learned:
1. I really really really need to have money to travel. Travel outside of the country money. And soon.
2. It's a very long, boring day when I can't pick up the phone and call The Boyfriend whenever I feel like it.

I had acupuncture for the first time last weekend. It freakin rocks. I felt so tired and yet so energized afterwards. They put 19 needles in me and they were so excited that it was my first time, they kept telling me I was handling it well. I spent most of Saturday feeling pretty rough, but when I woke up Sunday morning I felt AMAZING. I had energy. I didn't have a headache. I am completely addicted.
Migraines run in my family. So do allergies. I was lucky enough to inherit both. At least mine aren't as bad as my Grandmothers. She would be in the hospital for 3 days with a migraine. With the pollen count the highest it's been in years, I have not been having a good spring. And med's just weren't helping. I can't tell you the last time I didn't have a headache. When I found out my Grandmother used to go to Canada to get accupuncture, that sealed the deal for me. I have wanted to try it for years. I am so sorry I waited that long.
The Boyfriend is working as a P.A. for the a few days in Malibu. While the money is nice, it sucks not having dinner waiting for me when I get home. Or breakfast made for me in the morning.
Yes, I am spoiled.
That's all for now. I know it doesn't seem like much, but there are more things going on. Like roadtrips to plan.
If you had one night in Nashville, where would you go?
