……Pamela and I drove till we got almost to Alabama; I’m normally in bed asleep by 11PM most days. But I was such a mess that day and had so much Starbucks that I was running off fumes. I drove till about 3am slept all of maybe 2.5/3 hours in a hotel to finish the drive. However, I did stop at a gas station to pick my X-large Starbucks drink. Gosh knows I couldn’t function without it, nor would anyone want to be in contact with me.

When Pamela and I arrived to my new place in B’Ham; I was such a basket case. Keep in mind my wonderful parents picked my place to live for me so I could stay in FL to work, finish packing and of course play like a rock star. It was a sweet new place to call home; but when I went upstairs to see my new place I freaked out. I thought it was too small for all my stuff (which it is for the record) I turned upside down and panicked like a baby. My parents weren’t there yet due to a tornado coming through! Once they got there, no hello, nothing, I’m like my stuff will not fit in that apartment, what were y’all thinking?!? Yeah, did that. I was all bent out of shape. What the heck did I just do, I left a stunning water apartment to move to a smaller place in ugly b’ham?!? REALLY? I was furious to say the least.
I signed all the papers, really just wanting to go back to Tampa.

Once the movers got there, I think they were a bit shocked at how much a single girl could have; I was like yeah it’s not going to fit. So they lined the halls with boxes till all the furniture got put in the apartment. I was in a crappy mood all day with it. I was right and parents were wrong with the size of it. I donated over 20 boxes of stuff before I left Tampa to those families in need from various charities. Guess I should have gone 40. Pamela ended up with another suitcase to take back to FL with stuff. Daddy took a truck load home with him since I had no storage space. The place is still busting at the seams; I’m on the waiting list for a storage unit still 4 months later.

I’m still not in love with B’Ham yet..just speaking honestly..
