Monday, Monday...

Good Afternoon!

First off, I'm sincerly sorry for everyone who doesn't live in Nashville...as the weather is PERFECTO right now. Beautiful, 70ish, light breeze. We have it made!

Too bad I'm stuck in my office...

Although I do have a loverly view of the Lexus dealership...which serves as a daily reminder for me to work and study hard :)

My day started off bright and early at 6 AM: a pair of long PJ pants, a Vanderbilt hoodie, and a fresh pair of contacts later and I was out on the farm feeding the horses. I got dressed and ready for work and got here at 8:30ish this morning. One of the best parts of my job is I can get here anytime I want, and leave anytime I want. I have no set hours. It rocks. All you people who have corporate jobs: be jealous.

Most Monday's for us are hectic, crazy, drama-filled days that leaves everyone in a foul mood until at least Wednesday. But for whatever reason, today has been really calm. I mean really calm--no tears or door slams. Jody (my boss) and Trish (Jody's wifey) ate some bad sushi last night, so they both left for their respective homes a little while ago. They're seperated, but really good friends...so they still have our businesses together. I don't ask questions.

So here I am...all by my lonesome. And I have this wonderful (!) idea. I'm going to blog. I had a blog last summer, but it got boring, because my life was kind of boring then. Now I think I have enough going on to fill a few books lol.

For a few months now, I've wanted to start journaling again. I think this will help satisfy that desire. Another thing I've found myself thinking about is the Nashville Scene. It's a local magazine that has play reviews, restaurant reviews, and general happenings around our city. The restaurant reviews draw me in like a moth to a flame. I would love to write reviews on good eats, so this will more than likely turn into my outlet for that...hence the name "Sticky Rice."

This afternoon I'm going to Jason and Peyton's (my boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law's) new house in Bellevue to help clean. I think they're going to start moving in pretty soon. Peyton is preggers and we're all very excited about the new baby. She and Jason will find out if its a boy or girl in one month from today! We all think it's going to be a boy...that's what she and Jason want too.

Moving seems to be the popular thing to do between my family and Justin's (me boyfriend's) family. Jeremy (Justin's other brother) and his buddies just bought a house near downtown, Jason and Peyton have their new house, Mimi and Poppi (Justin's parents) bought their house on Saturday, and my parents are building our new house this summer. We're all moving!

I hope your day hasn't been too dramatical :)
Tune in tomorrow for my second (maybe) installment!
