Whew! Is it hot outside or what?! It's 100 degrees outside right now. I'm not going to complain about all this heat because well, I've been sitting in my nice air conditioned apartment all day and it's quite chilly in here. I'm not going to dare turn the air up because I'm a baby and if I get remotely a little warm I whimper and whine and can't breathe. No joke. When it get a little stuffy or hot my nose and my air passage just closes right up and then I get a migraine. Is this just in my head or is this a legitimate condition I need to seek help on? :) Mayme, you're a nurse...should I be concerned? LOL! Oh let me talk to Mayme for a sec. Thank you for the belated birthday wish and I do want to play on Words With Friends so if you, or anyone for that matter, wants to play my username is janiren. I may regret sharing that. LOL!
I'm also not going to complain about the heat because it seems the whole country except for a slither of it is experiencing this heat. It's just seems unbearable. I feel so sorry for my husband and his co-workers. They work in a machine shop and it's not air conditioned. Only the office has air and so they have to work in all this heat. He says it isn't so bad because they have fans but all that does is stir up hot air. He comes home very sweaty, dirty and pretty stinky. I usually have to Febreze the house after he comes in. :)
On days like this I remember all those times in the winter when I would be freezing and begging for summer to get to here. We humans are never satisfied. So when is winter again?

Birthday in Nashville
Friday was my birthday and to celebrate we headed to Nashville to spend it with my parents. I hadn't been back home since the wedding and it was a much needed trip. I've actually seen my parents quite a bit since I got married but I hadn't been back to Nashville. I can't tell you the feelings that went through me as the Nashville skyline came into view. It's such a beautiful skyline. I never get tired of it and we sure didn't spend enough time there. It was a short quick weekend trip.
Saturday night we met up with one of my best friends and we all headed to Demo's downtown. If you've never been to Demo's and are going to visit Nashville this place is the place to go. The prices are great and their food is delicious! I've never had a bad dish there. I'm so glad I chose to go there. There are so many restaurants that Nashville has that Tuscaloosa doesn't so it was hard to figure out where to go but I'm so glad I choose that place. We had a great time. It was like I had never left. I miss that place so much!
I did get a pretty good birthday gift....I got a job! It's only part time and not the ideal job, but its a job. I'll be working at a preschool/daycare. I'm not all that thrilled about it but the job market in Tuscaloosa pretty much stinks. I've put my application and resume in everywhere and nothing has been opening up. My sister (in law) called me last Thursday and told me that the daycare her kids go to are hiring some partime people and she was able to set up an interview for me. I was able to get the job and I'm so thankful for it because we really need the money but I feel like I'm taking a step or 10 backwards. This is exactly what I did in college and I wasn't so thrilled to be going back...especially when I think I'm the oldest employee there. Everyone else is in high school or college. Ugh! I'm also working until 6 every night. I'm not thrilled about that either. Oh well, it's something for now and I will get to see my neice and nephew everyday so that's a plus. It's also only 5 minutes from home so that is a plus as well. I just need to be thankful that I was able to get hired somewhere. I know the Lord knows what he is doing with me and my husband and I just need to trust Him.
