Caribou closed too early for me to blog. So this one text will do. I'm wearing my green shoes and i'm content today. And last night's dinner went GREAT! :)

Alright. So this posting from your cell phone thing is lame. Well it's probably cooler on a REAL messaging phone, but mine just made it all chopping. oh well. I like typing on my computer. Too bad you can't write out blogs and then mail them in to be put up! Haha. Then that'd be very cool but would completely and utterly defeat the purpose of updating daily and blogging in general. I'll just stick to this. right here. :)

SO I started serving on Thursday! It was thrilling! I think it could be something I do for a long time. I really enjoyed and and I'm glad that I wasn't horrible at it. For a while I just followed my trainer around and then I just started taking my own tables. And I didn't screw up or anything! But I also think that it's glorified cashiering. As cashiers at BWW's you greet the person, take their order at the counter, have them pay, and most likely run it to their table. The only differences with serving is that we keep checking up with them and we meet them at the table instead of the counter. So I hope my other training shifts go just as well as that one did! YAY! I train again next Thursday and then I only need two more shifts and then I'm on my own! I can see how it will be scary once I'm on my own and getting big parties, but hopefully it'll all turn out okay. Wish me luck everyone!

I'd stick around longer but I am in desperate need of grocery shopping! eek! Love you guys! Happy last week of June!

I'm testing out this whole blog from your cell phone thing! So hello world! This is me on my phone at some place in the world. If this works, i'll be for

Mini Golf and Sunshine

I loved yesterday. It was truly a great day. And surprisingly it was Kara's birthday and nobody got angry! The sun was full, the clouds were missing, the sand was hot, and the food was excellent. And oh yah, don't forget about the mini golf! We spent a few hours at the beach playing frisbee and sunning ourselves. We then went to Little Caesar's pizza and basically tailgated in the parking lot. IT was so funny. I felt like a hick, but it was just too perfect. Then we went mini-golfing at the Como Park Zoo. I am SO bad at at it. I care enough to almost try, and then I never line anything up or take time to think about how hard I'm hitting it. As Justin would say, you need to use finesse. Blah blah blah. it's just fun to get it around the loop-de-loop, make it jump the river, and wind it's way between the rocks. Plus it's a cheap thing to do and that makes everyone happy! Five bucks? heck ya! See! I'm a cheap date! haha. After that we decided to grill burgers at Kara's parent's house and then watched the movie Taken. Did I get a little burnt? yes! was it hot? It was smauldering. Was I happy to not be working? More than ever! And that's what it's all about. I don't care if it's raining, storming, blazing heatwave, or lukewarm, I just need the freedom every now and then. Honestly. That one day just gives me a breather and I can resume my daily schedule again. Even though I did enter work today and it basically moved like a Saturday at the Wayzata Wells Fargo. That means that it was painstakingly slow. I hate that. I know I'm only there from 8-3, but it's hard.

Anyway, I looked up the word of the day, and apparently it is : Cavalcade. Have fun witht that one. Later!

Minutes

I have minutes to spare today. It's work, rest, eat, work. In that order... I don't mind though. Money is tight and I have the WHOLE day off tomorrow! :) Exciting times. It is of course my friend Kara's golden birthday, so it seems only right to spend the day with her. I believe we'll be beaching it up, followed by some good ole fashion mini golf and some lunch in there as well. But that's not the point of this blog today. The point is, we all must use our minutes wisely. I mean think about it. We spend hours sleep (six hours is 360 minutes) and then 480 minutes working, or more for those who have two jobs like me! Then somehow we waste almost 120 minutes online, looking up this on facebook and that thing in our e-mail, and then watch 10 5 minute clips on youtube. If you think that there are only 1440 minutes in a day, and after all those things listed are completed, we are have a mere 480 minutes left in our day! And if you throw in an episode of Lost/One Tree Hill/ Grey's anatomy/ and Gilmore Girls, then bam! You pretty much leave enough time to get ready for bed, work out and shower! Funny how fast our life disappears before us! And then when we head to bed at night we wonder where on earth our day went! Crazy huh? Just think about what we COULD be doing with our lives! :) Alright kiddos... off to work I go. Ha. Hope the next 360 minutes of my life are good!

Vanilla Lattes and Internet

Small pleasures in life. Coffee is a pleasure that has come over time. Acquired taste as you will. That's what most people would say. The first sip is always a bitter one. It bites at your taste buds and scolds the roof of your mouth. You are too young to know better. From there you either become accustomed to the bitter taste, which of course becomes the cheaper route, or you realize the world of possibilities the coffee industry give you. They market to everyone. Love chocolate? Well help yourself to a mocha,white chocolate mocha, or whatever special they have on the menu. A caramel fan? Don't worry, you're marketed to too! You have the caramel cooler and the caramel latte. On a health kick? They have lite drinks too! And of course steamed milk, hot chocolate and other randoms for the little ones. It's a perfect place to get caffeinated and spend time at! Hell, I've been here for well over an hour, using their internet, sipping my vanilla latte and doing all the things I haven't been able to do all weekend! The internet has left my home (yes, the internet that was being "provided" to me by my loving neighbors). So now I sit here in this wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. It's rainy and cloudy and it's Sunday. It's also Father's day and I do feel bad that I am not with my dad. But Holly already stopped by and gave him a gift from the both of us (and it will officially be half from me once I actually pay her. lol) But I'm sure he knows I care. I called him. For about 1 minute. He's never been a phone person. So for him, that's awesome.

Anyway, I apologize for not keeping my word on this whole "once a day" thing I was trying to do. The internet did not allow me to do what I intended to do. But here I am, at the beginning of a new week, trying my best to keep my word! :)

Alright, my thoughts are over! Have a happy first day of Summer guys!

Lighting Storm

So I've realized that i'm really slacking this year on the whole "journaling" thing. or Blogging thing. Whatever this may be, I'm slacking on it immensely. It's unfortunate. As a writer I feel like I should be writing something everyday! Maybe several things every day. It shouldn't be hard. But here I am, twiddling my thumbs, doing other random things. Oh well. SO what is the solution to this ever continuing problem? Quick thoughts. I'm going to try to write everyday on just one topic. And of course if something interesting happens I'll write about tha too, but I just really want to get into the practice of writing again. So here it goes, ready or not. The topic today is ThUnDeRsToRmS.


I love love love love thunderstorms. They soothe me whereas they freak many people out. That's hard to understand for me. Yes, they can be loud, and yes the lightening can strike things, but my GOD they are a beautiful creation from our Father. Like tonight we have a mere lightening storm. It's beautiful and it's simply jumping from one cloud to another. How can you not love it? How can you not see the beauty in it? It lights up the ENTIRE night sky in a single instant. Besides the sun and moon which are consistant, what else can do that? Nothing! And even if there was, it wouldn't be anything like lightening. I just tried to take pictures with my Nikon outside, but there were too many streetlights so the photos weren't turning out. I was hoping to get a good one before the Nikon had to be shipped off to it's new home in Florida. Sigh. Oh well. Such is life. All I'm saying is give thunderstorms a chance. Don't let fear overwhelm you. It's not worth it.
