Let's just get right to it. Shane and I had so much to do today. Now that we actually have money to take care of it and there's a chance he will be working with Dad tomorrow so we can't do it then because he will have the car and not only that, he needs to be there. It's in his name. Long story short, today was the only option.
So, first things first. Tags. We wake up at 6:30 am to be the first one to the Tax Office because we needed to get tags on Shane's car and weren't going to sit there and wait for 2 hours for our number to be called when we had B232 and the number that was just called was A053... Don't think so. So we went to the Tax Office that's supposedly at 31 Sailfish Dr E here in Atlantic Beach. Well as it turns out Sailfish Dr E and W are solely residential roads. Come to find out afterward, under the address on the site in grayed out small text it says "Unverified Listing." No Fucking Shit?! Okay. Next? 1505 Atlantic Blvd is another Tax Office. Open at 7:15am, closed at 5:45pm. We get there.. it looks closed. You know why it looks closed? Because it Freakin IS! Thanks to Martin Luther King's freakin holiday.
Alright. So no tags today. What's next on the list of things to do? Cash these checks. We go to the bank and of course it has to be closed too. So to the ATM we go. Which, with a 600 dollar check to deposit, we won't get the money til next week sometime because of the hold. So we just deposit the 100 dollar check... only we can't because I got a new Debit card and I never changed my PIN number to what my old one was so I'd remember it. There goes that idea. Fine. Money Order. We have one of those for 100 bucks. Let's go to Walmart and cash IT. We gave the woman the money order and she looked at it and just shook her head. "We can't cash these. Only Walmart Money Orders." OMG! By this time Shane is fuming. He thanks the woman after she verifies it with someone else and we walk out. Fine. The Money Order was made from a Sunoco gas station. So I get on google and find one close to where we are... Beach Blvd. So off we go in that direction. I didn't even know there was a Sunoco in Jacksonville. Apparently there's three... each one in a place I never go to. Anyhow, we get there and Shane goes in while I stay in the car surfing the net trying to figure out if that old sweet looking white car that flew by me the other night was an old Lamborghini... it wasn't. And I STILL don't know what it is. It's driving me crazy. After a few seconds Shane comes back out and I ask the obvious. "Let me guess, Sunoco doesn't cash their own Money Orders?"... Nope. They don't. Great. By this time it's 9:30am and we just say screw it and head back to the house. We stop and get gas on the way. 1.89. Only to find that the very next gas station was 1.85 and it was Shell... which I prefer over BP. So finally we get home at 10am and we remembered we forgot to drop off the rental back at Blockbusters. But screw it. It isn't due til noon and I've been out since 6:30am. It can wait. It's now 10:30am and we're back at the house.
We got up at 6:30am, drove around Jacksonville for 4 hours and accomplished absolutely NOTHING!!! So, how was your first 4 hours this morning?... or did you get the privilege of waking up at noon?
BTW, Why is there a holiday for Martin Luther King and not Malcom X?

Finally! An Update for you guys!
Well I haven't made a post since December 3rd. So here we go...
Shane and I are all settled in our new apartment that's 2 minutes from the beach. I love it. Shane and I recently went down to Polatka with Jon to his lake house for New Years where we fried cockroaches for dinner... on accident. We DIDN'T eat them!!! And they smelled really gross by the way. Uck! I guess they crawled their way in the deep fryer and died, then sunk, then got cooked... niiiice, right? Wrong. I'm haunted by that smell forever. *Shiver*
(I'm trying to think of the interesting stuff for ya...) My bird Harley flew out :( I really miss my bird. Shane and I just got home on January 5th and when we opened the door with an arm full of shit and when the door opened he got scared and flew out. And with my arms being full I didn't have the ability to shut the door and with being in the city it's impossible to find him. If we did see him and he saw us, he'd come right to us. But finding him just didn't happen. I miss him :( That was like my kid. We'd wake up in the morning and when he heard us in bed he'd fly in the room and land on the foot of the bed then walk up to us and put his head down so we'd pet him. He did this every morning. If we'd walk by him he'd fly to us and land on our head. If I was eating anything and had the plate on my lap, he'd sit there in my lap and nibble at whatever I was eating. He'd take out a little piece. Put it on my leg and eat it. When he finished it, or as in most cases... dropped it, he'd go back for another little piece. He was so sweet. If I drank something and he was on my shoulder he'd lean forward so I'd give him some. Water, Koolaid, Tea. Didn't matter. He'd drink it right out of my cup. I wish I could get him back...
That wasn't the only thing that happened on January 5th... unfortunately the bird getting out completely ruined my day. But that is also the day that Shane and I got married :) So as of today we've been married for 12 days. It sounds so puny compared to my parents 26 years of marriage. But I guess even they started off puny . Lol.
Hm, I think it was last week we went to Block Busters to rent World Tour for Shane with a gift card his parents gave us. And on the way we managed to get a nail in the tire. So Shane was out in the rain putting on a donut. And the next day took it to Sears. Thank God I got road hazard on them. I wasn't going to at first. But it was only 30 bucks more and I was already damn near 600. Why not? Haha.
As of right now we are both unemployed. Shane has got a job working with my Dad. But he can't start until next week. (Thank God it's almost here.) We just sold my laptop to his aunt. I don't use it anymore. I always use his, which he doesn't use because he loves his desktop. The only reason he even got this one (his laptop, which he paid a grand for) is so he could talk to me while he was at work through Aim. And this was before we were even dating. Sweet, huh? (I Heart My Hubby!) So anyways, that got us some money. Then we just sold a PSP off craigslist, his Step Dad sent us some money to help out, a friend of his sent us money in advance for a computer Shane is going to send him, plus Shane finally got a check in for some work he did for his Dad's company. So we are able to pay bills... and that was worrying me. A Lot! Funny how things work out that way. Now I just need to get ME a job. I'm studying this book for the Post Office. Ugh. I'm not looking forward to taking this test... but if I get in, that's 20 bucks an hour. I say it's worth it.
As of right now, I'm sitting on my couch relaxing and typing up this blog because I haven't posted one in a while. Just to give you guys an update. If you ask about when the baby's due... I can't tell you that. I don't even know yet. I'm still waiting for Medicaid to go through so I can go get checked out. It's taking forever and I WANNA SEE MY ULTRASOUND!!! In any case, I'm gunna jump off here and head to bed. I'm tired. Later guys!
