28

Hey there, it's been awhile. Lots of big changes have taken place in the last month, the biggest of them being relocating to South Carolina from Michigan. It's been a little less than a week since I arrived and I think I'll like it a lot down here. My sister has graciously allowed me to stay in her apartment with her until I find digs of my own. To commemorate my 28th birthday I give you my Southern experience so far, by the numbers:

8. Excessive amount of items in new apartment: 7 bottles of shampoo, 5 bottles of conditioner, 16 scented jar candles, 2 identical crock pots (two more than we need), 2 hair dryers and 3 different types of mustard.

7. Number of jobs that I've applied to just today: 3 (keep your fingers crossed for me please!)

6. Number of times I threatened to move back to MI: 1 (moment of weakness.)

5. Number of driving hours: 15 (we decided to get it done in one fail swoop...never, ever again.)

4. Number of times I've been called "darlin'": Too many to count.

3. Amount of money I saved at the local Food Lion today: $15.69

2. Number of original paintings of a woman being attacked by a robot: 1 (thanks Andy.)

1. Pieces of "Funfetti" birthday cake I've eaten: Infinite.
