How is it stood for??

If insurance companies ruled the world and operated it like they do their companies would anything ever get done?  Would everyone hate each other?  Would you just spend all day, every day on endless phone calls and automated systems??  After the last two days I think so.  I was rear ended a week ago and am now lost in the system of insurance adjustors, heathcare companies, doctors visits and automated phone systems.  I think that if I was asked for my claim number or date of birth one more time I might have screamed!  Why also do they want you to say it to a machine rather than enter it into the phone?  That never works!!  I don't think I have much of an accent and it doesn't understand me.  How does it understand people from another country or with a deep south accent? It just doesn't make any sense.  

After all of this craziness it seems that since my car had no damage from being rear ended the insurance company doesn't seem to want to think that I could have been injured.  It seems as though they would believe me that I was injured if their had been car damage and then had to pay more money out to fix me and my car!  Apparently they think that my neck hurting could have been the cause of something else I did between getting hit and going to the doctor.  They operate under the assumption  that I'm lying!!  I can commit a crime and be presumed innocent until proven guilty but I can't be assured payment for medical treatment from someone's insurance company until I can prove it was from them.  I'm assumed guilty!!  Well, off my soapbox for now!  Time for some valium, ibprophen and drift away into a drug induced sleep.  Sounds like my kind of night!  I leave with the question I started with - how is it stood for??

Time to Relax

It's a beautiful day and Dillon and I are in Galveston!  We're here for Dimi's restaurant opening at Pier 21.  It's called Olympia at Pier 21.  I'm so proud of her and can't wait to see her and what she's done tonight.  I was down in Galveston for a day with my Mom a few weeks ago and it looked amazing so I can't wait to see what it's like now.  Dillon and I spent the day walking around on the beach and playing in the water.  Tonight's the party and then more beach time tomorrow. We're gonna check out this neat looking bar on the seawall called Float that has a bar with live music and a pool you can hang out in to cool off.  Sounds like fun to me.  Great Galveston weekend!!!

Schooling

So time flies when you're unemployed!  It's been just over a month since I lost my job and believe it or not I've been crazy busy.  I've been working with a friend and her wedding planning business and learning alot. It's been fun though and  I'm really looking forward to booking my first wedding that's mine!  We've got some leads so hopefully that will happen sometime soon.  Until then I've really enjoying working with Sam and I'm learning everything I can from here.  Well I'm off to change for a lunch meeting and then projects, projects, projects!!

Sadness

Well bad news came in today about my friend Misty.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer today.  It's scary for me so I can't imagine what she's feeling like right now.  Misty is one of the nicest, most genuine people that I know and I just don't understand why this is happening to her and don't think it's fair. Tomorrow she has surgery and then will start radiation treatment.  Really that's all I know as of yet but I know that she is such a strong person and if anyone can fight through something like this she can.  Attached is a photo from Jenny's bridal shower.  Misty is on the far left side.  

A Moment in the Workforce

Well yesterday I found myself feeling more like a human.  I've realized that working and having things to do make me feel like a person.  My friend Samantha owns her own company as  a wedding planner and I went and helped her with a wedding yesterday.  It was nice to see that I think I could be good at that and enjoy it.  The day was long, 12 hours, but that's never something that's bothered me.  It would be nice to be in charge of my own future and run my own life instead of having to listen to another corporate company.  I just really realized from this last job that I don't want to have to do what someone else says all the time and play the corporate game.  I guess I have to decide if I want to take the risk from here.  I also still need to look at what is out there and see what the world has to offer.  We'll see though, here's to weddings!!!  Anyone know someone who wants to get married!

Pain

Dillon and I have decided that we want to do an intense workout system and after scouring the infomercials we found P90X.  We ordered it off ebay and it finally arrived all the way from China today.  (Gotta save a buck without a job so I'm sure it's an illegal copy)  This system is made up of 90 days worth of hour long workouts. The first day today was chest and back workout.  After Dillon and I doing it today I think that we will either be ripped in 90 days or dead.  Can't believe that I could be in this much pain when it's only been a few hours since I worked out!  I don't even want to think about tomorrow morning!!  At the moment Dillon is passed out on the couch from it!  So anyway, we didn't take any official pics or anything for before and after but hopefully our afters are going to be great and not just us in pain and laying their!

Long Time No Post

So it's been a long time since I've blogged on here.  Part of that was due to my computer being in the shop getting fixed twice and part because I just got lazy about it.  Well now I guess I have plenty of time to do this.  Monday afternoon I was called into my HR department at the hotel and laid off.  Even though we knew there was a lot of this going on in the hotel I still was surprised since I was closing sales and doubled the number of weddings we were doing this year over the last year.  So now I'm at home and pretty bitter about it but in the end I'm hoping everything is going to turn out all right.  Until then, anyone who lives nearby give me a call and we can get together, I've got nothing but time!  We're drinking at home though cause it's way cheaper!

Besides all of this craziness it was a fun last month with my friend Doni's wedding and my friend Chris' wedding.  Below is a picture from the wedding.  She was a beautiful bride and it was fun being her bridesmaid because we got to pick our own black cocktail dresses. Unfortunately no pics from Chris' wedding because my camera was not working.  

Well I'm off for now.  If anyone hears about any jobs give me a call!
