So as I mentioned before, I have a new job as an Assistant Manager at a very popular store in the mall. I am really excited about it and can't wait! It's going to be so much fun to get paid to tell people what to wear LOL! I do that now with my friends and family for FREE!
So today is my lasy day at The Hartford, and boy am I happy. Don't get me wrong, it's a good job... For some people. The pay is good, but there are many restrictions that are put on you. And you don't get to interact with people, only by phone which 7 out of 10 are yelling obscenities at you because their premium went up by $12 dollars a year. It can be extremely tough to deal with when this happens 15 to 30 times a days and you talk to about 50 to 60 people a day.
So my advice to all you people with insurance, take it easy on the agents you speak with. They are only delivering information that they are trained to give you. You should be mad at the underwriters! LOL, they are the ones who make over half the decisions that cause your premium to go up! The agents are just the middle man, trying to survive you yelling at them and then move onto the next angry customer. I'm glad I'm moving on. Onto another chapter of life where my only problem will be, "Ma'am do you have this in my size? Does this match?" LOL, its not the last pit stop on my train, but it's one I'm happy to be making.

Somewhere over the Rainbow
You remember that song? Yea, how could you not! Here are the lyrics...
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Man... I used to love this song as a kid. I remember I had an orange and white music player that played this song. I used to cry everytime I heard it, I still do! AWW :)
BTW- If you see an old little music player thats orange and white, let me know! I want to find one!

More on Frog Infestation...
When I think about it... What if we were this afraid of Satan and saw him as the man eating TOAD that he is??? What if we took the extreme measures that I take to protect myself from frogs? What if we were so aware that he was lurking about that we DID look through every peephole and open doors ever so carefully... What if we all had a flashlight the size of a small child that we kept with us... To see him coming when it gets dark... I bet your not making fun of my being so afraid now... ARE YA? LOL
Frog Infestation
Sadly I am afraid of EVERYTHING!!! Bugs, animals... You name it... LOL and most recently I have had to deal with my fear of frogs... toads... whatever those hoping things are taking over my apartment. I will just give you a taste of what my day looks like WHEN I stay at my apartment... Because these days... I am looking for a new frog/toad free place to live! LOL
Wake up, get dressed. I make sure that everything is in my pockets or im my purse to where it won't fall out. Who knows what can be lurking outside... Ready to attack me. Try to take me out. LOL... Turn off all the lights... Look through the peephole.. What do I see? Hopefully nothing... Because otherwise... Might be held hostage... By the man eating frogs sitting outside... But if all is clear... Slowly ever so carefully open the door and peep in the garden by my door to see if those little critters are hiding there... If... And only if all is clear... Lock the door as fast as I can and run to my car before all the frogs jump out of the bushes at me! LOL, I know it sounds crazy... I know... But I am so scared of these huge TOADS!!! LOL, they are so big and creepy! And thats what I go through in the DAYLIGHT!!! lol Frogs and toads are nocturnal! Night time is 10 times worst! lol! I have a flashlight the size of a small child that I carry with me at night so that I will know what I am getting myself into... I also recently have put a protective circle around my apartment and parking area of snake-a-way. it works with frogs and toads as well... I did my research :) I know its funny but I have a real fear! So does my sister! So I don't feel as bad, but the family always makes fun of us... Oh well, LOL

Family as I know it
I was talking to a close friend of mine and she told me that her mother makes her want to kill herself. WHOA... heavy... And this is a 22 year old young woman. I took a minute... Let it soak it what she was telling me and let her vent for a few minutes. She basically told me how her mother is never there for her, openly shows her friends and other family members that she loves her brother more and just shared how broken she was by it because she just wants to feel loved. Then I asked her, "Well who do you look to for the love and approval that you are wanting so badly?" She sadly replied with, "No one." And then I shared with her a little bit about family the Brittney Pirtle-Meadows way...
So I don't have a relationship with my birth father... No surprise there. She already knew that. Too much heartache and pain... Story for another day... But I told her how I now have 2 fathers. Very non-tradional ways. But they are my something to cling to. I love both these men with all the heart that God gave me. And I was happy to tell her that one will be performing my wedding and the other will be walking me down the isle.
And no surprise my birth mother has cancer. And even though we are getting along... Right now... I still needed to find something to cling onto. And I have a mother that loves me for me. Not as the person she wishes I was or the baby that was the accident. Just me. Brittney Pirtle. And WOW... I don't care if she didn't give birth to me, how many people can say that? Not many...
So as I was talking to my friend I just told her, you have to find that for yourself. To maintain sanity. To have the place where you know you can go no matter what and feel that love that you need. She just cried and told me she doesn't think she would ever be able to find that, and as I cried with her... I responded... Neither DID I.... BUT I did.... And boy... Did I hit the jackpot...
I just had to tell her to hang in there. Your not always blessed with the best set of parents, but once she realizes that she CAN find that love in God and the people around her. I think she will be alright :) Please pray for my friend. She is going through a really rough time.

My sister tried to KILL ME!!!!
My sister Lakendria, my brother in law Scott, and my nephews Wesley and Jayden spent some time together Sunday night for fathers day. We went to dinner at Chili's (which the service was HORRIBLE) and then went back to the house to hang out and spend some time talking and playing with the boys. I ended up staying the night... Like I always do... And woke up to my sister saying:
Lakendria: Brittney, you want to come with me to Boot Camp?
Me: Boot Camp??? I think I might die!
Lakendia: (laughing) No you won't, and I won't laugh at you
Me: Alright, well you better not laugh.. You KNOW I'm going to die LOL
Lakendria: (laughing) Well COME ON, LET'S GO!
So my sister lied to me... She tried to KILL ME!!! I am a firm believer that you don't run unless someone is chasing you... lol... and I was running, sprinting, doing like 1,000 jumping jacks, 10,000 push-ups, lifting weights, doing ab work, doing squats, doing too much for this out of shape girl! I was in so much pain! And my sister laughed at me the whole time! But its alright, I had to laugh at myself. It was rather funny. LOL I was so funny. And now... I am in SO MUCH PAIN!!!! I hurt in places I didn't know were there! LOL! It was fun though. Got me active and moving, and I'm actually considering going back... MAYBE :)
Tell about a time where you were pushed to your limit.... It doesn't have to be with working out :)
