Below is a list of things that indicate to me, that life is getting back to normal:

• I’m not a huge Memphis fan ( that is, of the city, and not related to any specific sports team here, I do not really have an opinion toward any of them)
• However, I do love a few things here…
• a loop that takes you all the way around town, if you get lost, just get on it.
• Zaxby’s sauce, so good.
• Gordmans…why have I never found this place before
• I exerted the greatest form of self control tonight…I did not get pumpkin cheesecake at dinner.
• Everywhere you go at night has a security guard, whether it is a restaurant, a furniture store, or your hotel lobby…there is a security guard….feel safe?…not me…there is a reason they have to be there.
• Private School kids are like everyone else, they just don’t know it.
• Bartlett, TN may be my least favorite fair of all time.
• There was a Auto Diesel College set up next to me tonight.
• Also, I am fully aware of what form of underwear the lady across from me was wearing tonight…because I saw all of it (well, there wasn’t much there..so I saw even more than I wanted to)
• I used the computer at a high school visit today and all the adults were impressed…since no students stopped, I’m going to guess, they were not.
• I might have spent too much money on things I did not need at Tuesday Morning…but there were a few Christmas Presents involved.
• I got lost yesterday on my way in and looked up at the stop light I was at and it said “Beale”…yeah, I might have been better off just staying there instead of going to college fairs.
• I’m not really sure where the kids who live in all these nice houses go to school, but they are not at anything I’ve been to. Maybe this is where people who don’t have high school kids live after they put their kids through college.
• I might come back here to trick-or-treat and ask them where their kids go to school…I can assure you they have deep pockets…or they did before they bought these gigantic houses.
• I’m addicted to Karen Kingsbury and my waitress tonight actually seemed to care.
• I pulled a big girl move, I chose to eat at the restaurant by myself instead of getting the meal to go.
• A drunk man in the lobby tonight called me “baby”. He got the courtesy smile.
• I love Candlewood Suites.
• I bought new pjs to help me sleep better tonight…and left them in my car.
• Some girls I walked past at Starbucks made a comment about my suit last night (not a nice one) and I continued with my order and did not confront them…dad would be proud…I was too tired to share my thoughts with them.

Ok, I think that is enough for now. Fall, my favorite time of year, is happening in front of me and I any not even enjoying it…although I did make a pumpkin dump cake last week which made it somewhat real.

Have I told you I’m moving to a new place? Not a new city..just a new house…well, new to me…more to come on that.
