Graceland

Pulled into Memphis when it was already dark. Such a shabby city. Unfortunately I couldn't find too great of a deal at a Marriott so we settled on the crappiest most disgusting Super 8 motel ever. I feel itchy just thinking about it.

The view outside Super 8. Don't worry it was even scarier in person.

Next time I'll have to hit up Sun Studios! Even though I probably would've enjoyed that even moreso than Graceland. We couldn't find parking though and we needed to hit the road

It was great! Although I wish I'd been able to have gone at the height of my Elvis phase.

Currently Emma and I are in a Residence Inn in Knoxville. We went apartment hunting all day today and put a security deposit down on one we really liked. We're crossing our fingers cause there wasn't even a close second.
I also went around and filled out applications at the few marriotts in the same parking lot of the one we're staying in. And I totally got offered one right on the spot at a Courtyard!! The people there were soooo nice and chill and reminded me of my utah springhill peeps. But the Towneplace had a very good looking general manager so idk I'd kinda rather work at that one ha we'll see what happens.
Anyway! We're going out to a dance club type place called Cotton Eyed Joe's tonight for New Years Eve and then tomorrow I was thinking of driving around town and exploring a bit. The end for now.

AZ -> NM -> TX -> OK -> AK

Trying to get back into that online journal life.

Morning of leaving day. I went out dancing with Bre the night before so I was exhausted, sad about leaving home, and on top of it all I was 100% sure I had MRSA on my nose. I guess it's gross to include this but I was legit petrified! Getting MRSA is one of my top fears. I got my dad to call Jeremy concerning antibiotics and it cleared up the next day. Ain't no thing. Was just a pimple I guess.

NEW MEXICO: makes me think of Kevin G: "I'm leaving and never coming back."

525 evenings

love that place

I need to wash my hair and the thought of it alone is exhausting me

*knock knock* "housekeepingggggg!"

Housekeeping.
The best and worst job I've ever had.
Best
because it's go go go
the people I work with are A+
hotels are crazy interesting
my uniform is comfortable
exercise
I don't have to talk to anyone. Like ever.
just me and my thoughts
and lastly it's kinda difficult to explain but the feeling of overloading on caffeine and then just going to town with my rag and disinfectant....it's a rush.

And then the worst, I'm scrubbing toilets which really kinda sucks, and no energy off days are the wooooooorst,  I basically want to fall on the ground and not get up.


Anyway I made this mix to document what I've been listening to the past couple months while cleaning. For the memorieeeees
Lots of country cause you know how I do.

jam time

strangers compliments

not to brag or anything but today an old man at D.I. gave me two pieces of candy "because you looked so pretty standing over there"
AND
walking in the Wal-Mart parking lot, a rather creepy man slowed down alongside me and told me I had nice hair with pretty highlights.

Killin it today!
