So Many Thoughts

I had so many thoughts I wanted to write about until I sat down to write this blog entry and now they have all escaped my mind except for this one...cabbage salad...YUM!!!

Work was insane this weekend...I worked yesterday and today both lunch and dinner shifts...Today alone I worked over 7 hours which is a lot for a part time job...I've also been up since 6:30 this morning. I'm not sure why exactly I woke up so early on a Sunday, but it's probably due to the fact I went to bed so early last night...10:30/11ish.

Last night I had a party at work who made a reservation for 20 people which is what we had set up for them...then they showed up...with 32 people. I was a little bit stressed out at this point as we had NO tables left...literally we had people sitting on every single table we had. That's the kind of night it was. So then these 12 extra people show up...that's 2-3 tables extra...and we are trying to get them all sat down. Long story short...it's a miracle that I didn't end up decking someone because I really wanted to.

At least I didn't have to stay to close last night. Tonight was good...and I realized on the way home that I never had a break...I stood at the register for 3.5 hours tonight...what a long day!

And tomorrow I'm going over to clean a lady's house. Sometimes having 3 jobs just isn't the greatest thing in the world. Until I get my paycheck...and then I'm pretty happy about it...

Tomorrow is 2 weeks until St. Croix!!! I'm soooo excited!!

I have the refinishing project to finish up, so hopefully I will get a bunch done on that this week and then this next weekend if I don't work. I got put on the schedule last because it's my last weekend to work, but if they don't need me, I won't work.

Then I'll need to start packing up for going back to school as well as going to St. Croix because when I leave I won't be coming back to my parent's house. It's so hard to believe that the summer is almost over!!

My dad and I have been running together in the mornings, and he and I are going to be running in SGF on November 1st. He is going to run a half-marathon, and I'm going to run the full marathon...I'm a little nervous, but I know that God is going to get me through it because He is the reason I run.

I am soooo tired...I'm ready for a day off...and I want to lay in the back yard and work on my tan. I also need to get in gear with my reading because I don't have long to finish off my summer reading pile, and I have three books left to start and one started that I need to finish.

My parents anniversary is this week...they have been married for 26 years!! How awesome is that!!

Well, I'm not sure if that's all the thoughts I was thinking but it's all the thoughts I've thought of for now...peace out yo!

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
