OptomisticGirl Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 I was feeling very naustalgic so I was reading through some of the very old emails between me and CS, like before we were even dating. It's so sweet to look back and know what was coming and be able to remember how you felt then. I remember when he would say something ubber sweet or romantic, I'd blush and then my mom would ask me what I was blushing for, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 I stand corrected. The south area were I live has not had a white Christmas since 1887 when they started keeping records. Yeah, score one for global warming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You think 25°F is cold, my uncle used to be stationed down in Antarctica for scientific research and said the temperature can reach -80°F I'm like F-that!!! A friend of mine came down from Alaska one year and was 32°F or so; according to them it's VERY warm lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, -80 F, I'd say F that too! Never want to visit there, haha I don't see how people live in that kind of cold. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We are at about 10 degrees today, I guess. B got over a foot of snow...just last night! He's staying in house, hunkering down. He restocked his pantry before so he's set in terms of food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I was at work tonight and after cleaning a dayroom one of the CNAs asked me to spray some good smelling stuff in a residents room. I didn't know why until I walked in. This particular resident is dying. I can't remember if she had a stroke or not months ago but she has been slowly deteriating for months now. Last week I heard she wouldn't even eat anymore, couldn't really. I walked in to her room tonight and you could just smell death. I know that's weird to say and I have never smelled it before but I knew what it was the second I walked in. And she looked so pitiful. She wasn't moving, barley breathing... I'll be surprised if she's still there tomorrow, I really will be. It's very sad because she use to be so vibrant, sitting in the day room singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the top of her lungs in an off pitch voice. I hope she finds peace soon. I also went to the gym after work. Proud of myself for that one. Working a 7 hour shift I still went to the gym for 30 mins. Woohoo! I also told CS I was getting him a V-Day present today. He does not like the idea of not knowing what I'm getting (since it's a SURPRISE) and I know he's going to spend the next 48 days trying to work it out of me. He already tried. He tried pulling the 'Oh no! You are getting me THAT!!' pretending to know thinking I'd fall for it and tell him what I was getting him. I may have blonde moments but come on... Fudgie knows though, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ohhh yeah, the smell of death. it's really distinctive, isn't it? I'm around it a lot in hospice and it still bothers me. I'm sorry you have to be around that. Poor lady. And yeah I know all about the present *shhhhhh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 It's my first time around it too and I have been working there for almost a year now. I couldn't be a CNA. I'd become too attached. I just checked the bank as well, the HM hotel money CS sent me deposited so I'm headed to book our Honeymoon hotel in Atlanta! Woohoo!

Fudgie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Oooo what chain is it, if I may ask? I love the Hilton and the Hampton Inn. Those are my favourites! I always try to stay there. I used to like the Holiday Inn and honestly, I'm fine staying there too (I'm not picky) but after I did a LONG road trip with my dad and he INSISTED on staying there (because they always ensured free wi-fi)...gah I got tired of them. Stay away from Days Inn at all costs. I never liked staying in them...they felt kind of dirty. Ironically, that's where I lost my V to my ex which wasn't bad but the hotel room looked like it was from the 1960s and not in a "cool vintage" kind of way, haha.

OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Super 8 is were we are staying. We stayed at this same hotel the night CS arrived in town and honestly, for $60, it was an AMAZING room. King size bed, microwave, couch, coffe table, desk, tv... it was a great deal. So we decided to stay with them again and get the same style room. I just paid for the Atlanta nights (17th-24th) and the main website had a special, stay more then 3 nights and they took 20% off. So we only paid like $330 for our entire HM week! I just can't spend $100 on a room that all I need it for is to sleep, watch tv, and shower. I just can't. I refuse. I'm a cheap skate, hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ah yes Super 8. We have that in our area. It's quite good and WOW, that is a deal! That's totally awesome. I don't know but do they have free wifi? That's like my number 1 criteria when it comes to hotels, lol. It sounds like they come well equipped though.

OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 The website says they do. Honestly neither of us can remember if it actually did when we stayed because we both just crashed the night he got in. lol. But the website does say it has it. I'm gonna miffed if I can't use his laptop while we are there. >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The Super 8 in my hometown also offers free wifi. I hope the Atlanta one does too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Me too. I know my home town one does. We never broke out the laptop that night we stayed in Atlanta before Gatlinburg,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circe Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Wow - brilliant deal! You must be sooo excited .. the next little while is going to fly by too. Are any of his family flying over too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 No, to be honest I dont want them there. Im not as close to my family as OG is, which is why we decided to get married in the US in the first place. Some of my family are, shall we say, unsupportive, so it just made more sense.

sweetpea03 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Stay away from Days Inn at all costs. I never liked staying in them...they felt kind of dirty. Ironically, that's where I lost my V to my ex which wasn't bad but the hotel room looked like it was from the 1960s and not in a "cool vintage" kind of way, haha. LOL. weird that is where it happened for me, too. Though the one we were in wasn't all that bad. It was recently updated, considering it is near a popular area and they want more business. It's only 75 bucks a night, so it's not a bad price either. Super 8 tends to always be very cheap. I haven't stayed in one before, but know of other people who have and they liked it. It should be a nice honeymoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah, with this special it came out to be $40 per night. Even just for that one night in Oct we paid $60. I have a friend who will stay in $100 hotels for one night. I just cant. No way does sleeping, showering, and watch tv cost that much. We did pay $100 for the one night we stayed in my hometown back in Oct but that was bc we didn't reserve it-I didn't, I can see CS correcting me now-and it was a sat during the local college home game. Should have thought qbout that. A game weekend jacked the price up by $30. But we had to stay somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpea03 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I would not stay at a hotel that costs over $100. My boyfriend and I are too cheap and we like to find deals. If it is under $100, then it's pretty good, but it depends on the area, too. We found a great hotel for under $100 in an awesome spot near the beach, which is almost unheard of. It's hard to get a nice hotel room for cheap in popular areas. Plus Southern Calif is not cheap in general, so finding a good price can be a challenge. $40 a night is a great price! The cheapest I've seen is around $50 a night, but the place looks pretty "sketchy"/bad, so we didn't want to go there. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostnscared Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Haha, I'm picky I would stay at hotel that costs more than $100 because usually that means it's a very nice hotel. I would just split the costs with my bf. But I think the cheapest hotel I stayed at was like $67 and that was a comfort inn. It was okay. My dad always gets us hotels that are close to $300-500 a night. Talk about too expensive. For my honeymoon I'd probably want to splurge a bit on everything. lol. I think it would be doable because more than likely I'm having tiny ceremony(with only parents viewing) or just having a private ceremony with me and him, and then a party with all of our families later.
