hey there. Well this weekend has been pretty cool I guess. Here's the scoop: I was off ALL WEEKEND. I worked Wednesday & Thursday and then Friday I was off so I bummed around most of the day and then at 3:30 I picked up Emilee from her papaws and me & her hit the mall so I could pay my JC Penneys bill and then to Hallmark to get some sympathy cards for Brenda & Brandon since their mother/grandmother died. While I was going back into Penneys I was downstairs in the womens department looking around and I saw an old familiar face...one that I thought I'd never see again. It was miss Wanda Parker. SO I yelled her name and she came over & hugged me and we had a nice little chat. So much "bad stuff" went down at the end of my job at CBF and it was such a horrible time in my life anyways with my Dad getting sick and passing away, that I didnt think Id ever get over it..but just like always..give me a year and I'll forgive people and come back to my senses. WEll its been almost exactly 2 years since I have seen her and we talked like it was old times...that was nice. We exchanged numbers and stuff so maybe we will get together. Whats VERY odd is the fact that we met at JC Penneys...which is where I first met her anyways (just at the other store) haha b/c I worked with her in lingerie there. CRAZY. Anyways, after that I took Em home & got her ready for Brenda's mother's funeral. Stephanie got home from work and I already ha me & Em ready to go so she changed clothes and we left for Sweetwater. We got to the funeral home & chatted with Julie & her family as they were on their way out. In that conversation I planned to get up and go clean Julies the next morning. Then we went in & stood in line and I hugged Brenda, Bill, Brandon, and Amy. I felt so sad for Brenda...I know personally how hard it is to lose a father and she had a tough time dealing with that almost 3 years ago and now losing her mother,which has to be a little worse...I hate it for her! Especially with her being an only child. Then we talked to mom & "Butch" for a lil bit and then left. We ate at the "A&W" in Sweetwater..we were so freakin ecstatic to find one there...thats mine & Stef's FAVORITE! After eating we had planned to go bowling so we drove about 15 miles to Athens to bowl at Classic Lanes. It was a cute TINY bowling alley with only like 15 lanes. Well I knew that Stephanie was a pro-bowler b/c she has bowled all of her life with her dad and was in leagues and everything...but I didnt expect her to strike almost every time. Out of 10 frames, she got 9 strikes in a row and then the 10th one she bowled a stike & a spare...I was like "this is no competition, its not even fun" lol...but she was AWESOME. Everyone at teh bowling alley was watching her and rooting for her and then afterwards asking where she was from and stuff. It was SO cute! Stef was so embarrassed lol...but I'm sure she loved it at the same time haha. WE bowled 3 games and my butt was creamed everytime b/c I was VERY rusty...not that Im good anyways..jsut maybe average..but I SUCKED taht night. So, Saturday I got up at 8 and headed over to Julies at 8:30 and cleaned her house for her since they were having the Widby cookout over there. My intentions was to clean for free thsi time since it had only been a month since her mother (my Granny) passed away but she is too sweet and she woldnt let me leave without paying me *and ALSO getting a bonus...some Candy Apple body wash thatI spotted and loved*..aww..shes soooo sweet! It was sooo good to get to see her. WE chatted a teensy bit, nto as much as I would have liked to but I was pressed for time. But it was still nice. I went back to her house and found that STephanie had rearranged the living room to how I said I thought it looked good...man it looks awesome now..Im happy about it. It looks so much more spacious. Then we got raedy & left for the flea market in Sevierville. We walked around there for a bit. I bought one thing and Stef bought a couple of little things and Emilee bought a fan haha. She's so funny. Then we left straight from there to pick up James (who lives in Seymour anyways) and then headed to Jimmy's house to finish up his Halloween movie. We were there from about 4:45 to about 8:30 or 9. The kids had a blast. I was tuckered out bythat time, but still had fun. Yesterday was Sunday...we ended up NOT going to church boohoo...but Sara did bring over Jaelyn to visit. Then me, Stef, James, Emilee, Sara & Jae went to Mr. Gattis in Halls to eat. MMMM. There I ran into another face from the past. One of my best friends from highschool: Heather Covington. She's married now and I forget what she said her last name was...but she looked good..exactly the same!! She has 4 children. She was pregnant with one ofthem when we were juniors in HS and I remember her being pregnant with another one..but shes had a little girl since then and got remarrried to her daddy and he had a son so together they have 4 kids. Heather has not chagned a bit!!! She said she lives really close to Britney who was another of both our best friends in school. Thats cool. She also lives only abotu 10 minutes from me!!!! coool. So we also exchanged #s and vowed to get together. After Gattis, my crew went to Fountain City Park. Jamnes & Emilee played their hearts out for almost 3 hours while STef, Sara, and me played with Jaelyn..she LOVED swinging. IT was her first time at the park. Paula also joined us with her babygirl Allison. SO it was one big friendly SUnday park party lol. THe weather was BEAUTIFUL. Totally felt like September..NOT November. After that we went to Target and took James home and then came back home. It was a very eventful and busy weekend. I am off today. WellIm gonna go now...this is long enough haha. BYEEEE.
