Hahahaha - yes, I put this horrible picture of myself on here! This picture just sort of "happened" the other night, and I think it's hilarious! One eye is droopy and I look like I'm 40. This picture sums it up pretty well, I guess!!
Atmore, Alabama was an adventure though. We were working in a casino, which is a
bit of a change of pace. But really neat. No one in the hotel had ANY experience in hotels though - and that's a struggle. But everyone was very nice and sweet. They finally moved us from the Day's Inn in Ba
y Minette (30 minutes away) to a little Bed and Breakfast. It was like a little mini-farm...very cool. The owner was THE NICEST GUY in the world! I didn't get to see him much, as I was working about 12 hours a day, but he was great everytime I ran into him. He had tons of peacocks, guinea hens, cattle, geese and he had a donkey! The peacocks were always threatening the other animals with their feathers out, the guinea hens and the geese were always yelling at each other and the little donkey was always so sad. He got out of his "area" and ended up getting hit on the highway! Totalled the car, but the donkey walked away with a limp. Wow.
AND - we saw this lady driving around with the hood of her car being held on with hitch straps. Awesome. (I think she was waving at us.)
I left Atmore, Alabama on Monday and flew to Baltimore (Annapolis) to visit my brother and his family. That was nice, but it was too short... I had to shop a lot to try and replace a 
lot of my wardrobe problems (including the hole-y socks you see to the right)! Trust me, you can't find a size 12 W women's shoes anywhere in that area...so I'm wearing really girly Man Shoes. Awesome. Had to leave Baltimore earlier than anticipated, because the next place decided they wanted to start earlier. So, I left my brother's place at about 4 am, got on a flight at 6:30a and was on my way to Long Beach, CA. On our decent into LA, my nose and head (like Sinus pressure or something) started POUNDING. Very weird. I fly a lot and have never experienced anything quite like that. I kept checking my nose, as I thought it might be bleeding. It was fine, just a lot of intense pain. Once we landed, the intense pain went away - but my nose/head still hurt a little every once in awhile. It could just be that it's been raining since I got here...storms screw with my head sometimes. Might need to catch up with my doctor next time I get a minute at home. Hopefully it's not a brain tumor or anything crazy. Has anyone ever experienced anything like that?!

So - I'm here in Long Beach at a little hotel that looks at downtown Long Beach (on the same side of the Queen Mary - in the QueensWay Bay). Very cool. The hotel is under renovation, and I'm working at night...so it's a bit of a struggle to sleep during the day. I will post a video of what happens during the day, as soon as I get a good enough internet connection. It's pretty hilarious!
This site is a bit easier than we're all used to. As I mentioned, they are renovating, so there's not a lot to do - they only have a few guests in and their all comp rooms. Not much for the night auditors!! But, it's great, because I can manage to get some sleep from about 4a - 9a. I didn't realize how large Long Beach is, but it's pretty nice.... it's big, but it feels small.
I will leave for the airport at about 4 am tomorrow morning and fly all day...then I'm home on Tuesday and Wednesday (my birthday), I'm off to French Lick for the week. It will be refreshing to work in my own state for a change. Maybe I'll actually drive my NEW CAR!! Doubt it! I want the rental car points!
More later guys...promise. Sorry it took so long, Jeff!
