one of my favorite people,my friend Danielle ,encouraged me to start a blog . i read everyone elses' so it seemed only fair that they have the same access to my facinating life . plus she has never led me wrong on something she told me to- including eat hamloaf, which by her description looked like "pig intestines and then its mashed together like meatloaf." mmm,tasty. i had serious doubts but i went against my gut, tried it, and it was delicious! however, i digress. but i did think it might be fun living in a new city, with new job, and being the same old allie to chronicle my happs.

or it could be like my nano baby which died the same day i got it at KB Toys.

so here i am in atlanta and reazling that its not quite the same as back where i come from. last week, i had just moved into the apartment and i looked around and reazlied that i had NO snacks or diet coke in my aparment. now if you know me at all, you know that i need my snacks and diet coke. so my dad and i turned right around and headed to publix in search of some moving day treats. well, we got bold and spicy chex mix (try it if you havent), a few other things, and then went to check out. i apologized profusely to the cashier for not having a publix card and asked if i could borrow the store one until i signed up for my own. he looked at me and smiled, and said "here at publix ma'am, we dont have a special card for sales, we want all our customers to get the sales, everytime." oh. then my dad made the fateful mistake of going to bag the groceries. the manager of the store happened to be standing near us at the time, saw my dad head near the bagging area, and basically jumped him , threw him out of the way, and profusely apologized for the next 2 minutes that my dad had the thought of bagging his own groceries cross his mind. toto, i dont think we are in kansas anymore. but its fun and im having fun down here.
