night in atlanta

today i went to work at eddie bauer. i was exhausted and had a horrible sinus headache... but i made money so that's all that matters. i really like working there. it's going to be a good job. i can tell... so after work, i met up with erin at the outlet mall and after making a quick stop to see joseph at the bose store, we headed to atlanta to visit ashley! we'd been promising a girls night forever but this was the first time we'd finally had a chance to go. we're staying at keith's (ashley's bf) house, so after we got here, we went out to dinner at cheesecake factory... which was amazing because i hadn't been in sooo long. erin had never been, and had pretty much never experienced a big city environment before, so she was kinda wide eyed and bushy tailed the whole time. she was completely BLOWN AWAY by the fact that the only way you could park was by valet. she said, "i feel like i need to be in a prom dress." haha. oh erin... so sheltered. after that we went to the coziest (sp?) little restaraunt that made me feel like i was in europe called cafe' intermezzo. we had some amazing coffee and desert... i think my stomach and my bank account exploded tonight. woops. girls night. :) anyway the point is, i'm having a blast, and i officially want to live in atlanta... well it's called "atlantic station"... it reminds me of california. well, atleast the up and coming urban areas. i think it's my favorite. i love the feel of living somewhere where you can walk downstairs straight on the street, go shopping, have dinner, and then walk down an alley and be in a little english garden-ish park area. they even have a arc de triompe (again.. sp?) repleca. ok, this is long, and my friends are talking, so i should stop being anti-social. there's the nightly update. it's been amazing getting my little "california injection." lets hope it holds me over...
hoping to come back soon... until next time.
