    Cody this is for you! Lets start from the beginning shall we?
    Friday: Come into work at 5:00...group A-angry leader due to the fact that she is not in the loft as she had registered for...is in the basement of the village for a Knitting retreat...not really a knitting atmosphere...crap
    -to fix this: we together move a love seat and a couch from the village game room into the open part of the basement.... grab two deck chairs and two chairs from the loft. 
-During this process...get squished by couch, pinched finger, and get real hot
    Group B comes in (that got the loft)
    -Typical job-unlock rooms turn on heat...no big deal.
    -A light bulb is burnt out in room 1 over the counter... no good
    -Outside light for room 9 and 10 are burnt out... unscrew glass...hoping its just not screwed in well enough...nope its burnt out...cant get glass back on
    -All 20 of the women from group B need linens...can only carry maybe 5 at a time... no good
    -Empty that cleaning cart... load up the 20 linens, deliver all to rooms... sweet...
    -Steel outside light bulb from room 14...and swap it for room 9s light bulb...all fixed
    ...sort of
    -Group A needs a few quilts for the deck chairs that are chillin in the basement
    -Go to room 19 and steel 2 quilts...as I am there I steel the light bulb from over the counter and take it with me to fix room 1s burnt out problem.
    -Go to room 1 and replace bulb...no good
    -Crap!!!
    -Try a light bulb from one of the lamps... nope!
    -Seriously!!!
    -Try bathroom light...does not light up
    -Are you friken kidding me!?
    -About to leave until I have an ingenious idea! Try the Circuit braker!
    -URIQUA!
    -Group B complains its too hot in the loft...
    -Group A wants a fire
    Figured out both...sort of
    -More linens needed...

  • I'm so tired...why am I up right now? I have an eight o'clock class tomarrow till 12...crap. But hey MEA is starting thur.
    So I was talking to God last night...it had been a while since I had talked to him so freely...It was like I didn't know what to say to Him for the longest time...but last night I was coming home...with some worry and stress on my shoulders. See I let one of my friends down... I chose a camp friend over her... and I felt terrible cuz she was really looking foward to hanging out with me after her crappy week... I was torn... cuz I love her I truly do... But we have had some rough spots in previouse years...and I try and let go of those hellish times... and forget, and forgive...so I try and not spend too much time with her at once... I need space from her...before I get on her nerves and annoy her like I have done in the past... well this time I put too much space between us... and she ended up being hurt and annoyed with me...I can never win. But I also really wanted to see Rachael...and I'm glad I did get to see her...since she doesn't know if she can come to reunion. So last night I was feeling guilty and afraid that me and my friend will soon run into our usual problems and things go to hell in a hand basket. Than a song came on by mark shultz... I can't listen to him anymore becasue his voice, his songs...remind me of someone I would like to forget right now...since I know he probably has forgotten about me.
    So I am feeling hurt and afraid, and stressed out, and I pull into my house and I start to cry as I am talking to God. It was like revilation (is that even the right word?) I pourd out my soul to him...It was simply amazing! I would share what we talked about...but I think i am going to save that for next time... but guys pray for me... pray for everyone who needs Gods help in their lives... which would basically be EVERYONE! Okay so maybe its too much of me to ask you guys to pray for Everyone...but just keep me in your thoughts an prayers...or i dunno i'm not going through something tramatic nor something really though...but yet I feel kind of empty...and I need the Lord to fill me back up again. I love you all...and pray you are all well. Why have we not spoken? Why is time such a controling thing? Why am I still up quetsioning these things? This is such a random post!
    Love always

  • A better day

    Well I am happy to say that this past week I have woken up in a good mood...I love those mornings where your just content. Though I am a little worried because i have an enviormental assignment due tomarrow and im not done yet because each day is either cloudy or i am busy in the evenings and ahh! ggrr panicking! Pray for tomarrow morning to be a nice sunny day..or else I am screwed!

     Anyways, I am glad to be working winter staff this year. Before I wasn't sure and thought maybe i should get a "real" job...but with 19 credits... i thought the safest plan would be to work winterstaff.Thats good though since I enjoy it for the most part and the people i run across always brings a smile to my face. Also i am always reasurred that i am doinga great job...for example Last weekend the family reunion gave us a tip for a great job (and even though we don't except them and if we do they go straight to camp, which is still cool) and that just made me happy knowing i did my job and they left happy. Then again on tues. the head guy of the group offered to tip me for my great job that night! I of course had to refuse kindly but he told me I will go far with my "ambition" so of course i had to go home and look up ambition (i know generally what it means but still) and it said

    3 results for: Ambition

    am‧bi‧tion[am-bish-uhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –noun
    1. an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment: Too much ambition caused him to be disliked by his colleagues.
    2. the object, state, or result desired or sought after: The crown was his ambition.
    3. desire for work or activity; energy: I awoke feeling tired and utterly lacking in ambition.
    –verb (used with object)
    4. to seek after earnestly; aspire to.
     
    Well i saw this and wasn't sure if I truly was ambitouse (can't spell!) I am energetic yes...but I'm not sure I strive for anything in particular...if anything I strive for peoples approval...and ugh that gets me no where. But it sure made me feel good when he told me that...I hope he is right though.....I'll go far with my ambition

  • So Much!

    There is so much that i wanna be. So much that i want to show others... so much that people dont see...so much! I'm not just a dits...Shocker right? I'm so tired of everyone seeing my that way. I know most love me and think its cute and is all good fun...but then im forever sterotyped as a dits! And that isn't all of me! There is more... some notice it, some don't belive it... but there is more to me then this energetic smiley girl...
    First off, let me just say, i can take jokes... I suck at comebacks though i'll admit it... im not that quick! My defense to some is "your mean" but doesn't meen i took it seriously!But when Jokes start to hit something personl...that points out a flaw... it erks me...beacause I notices my own flaws more than anyone...trust me.I know most ppl don't realize that their jokes get to me...but still...I want to be Respected! I want to be taken seriously! Not the laugh in everyones jokes...
      Yes i say dumb things... i have since i was little, some of it my family still makes fun of me for.. .but i know they meen it in a loving way! I say random things os "Random thoughts" I tend to get defensive about certain things.. .that is because i am never sure if the joke was aimed at me... or what. I am cautiouse... cuz i tend to be gullable (its just me...not me being a dits!) so i never now if people are joking or being sarcastic, or just teasing me.
    I space out... and tend to jump into conversations late, thus embarrasing myself...doesn't meen im blonde!
    Sometimes i don't get things right away, things sometimes need to be broken down to me slowly...its not because I'm dumb... its just how i am. I can't help how i am, nor can anyone else! Maybe i am this way cuz i was born 8 weeks early and only weighed 3 1/2 pounds?! I dunno but i just want ppl to know that im not just a dits! I hear it more and more and its starting to get to me... and i want to just vent and let it go, before i snap! Cuz then id be known as a spaz... and thats the last thing i want!
    I am intelligent, I am smart...I may not be brilliant in school, i may not get straight A's and 4.0 GPA.
    I am just human, i mess up, make mistakes, and blunders.  But I think, i ponder... im artistic, that is a strength, I care about others more than some of you will ever know...that is a posative...So why do i feel like others look down on me, or talk down to me!? Why do i feel cornerd by some, and ridiculed by others? Is it because i come off as a child? As a dits? You all may say im looking into this way too much, go ahead i don't care! Cuz im sick of feeling like this, and if this is the only way for others to repect me, to take me serisouly, to stop seeing me as a child...then I will go off and let everyone know... there is a hell of a lot more to me then Anyone knows, then I know...And others, or I will ever find out...
    This isn't direceted to anyone in particular...this is just me burning off steam...yea surprise... i get angry...but i just needed to let some of this go, for my sake and everyone elses. I do love all who read this, I love all of you as friends and sisters and brothers in Christ...some of our friendships are deeper then others... and some i do not know very well...but just to let you know... I want to. I want to know you, I want to know more of each of you. Because I am a friend and im interested in whats going on in your guyses lives... you don't have to tell me everything about you, i understand that if you don't, but at least you know, i am more then willing to listen and find out more about you. As cheesy as that sounds, its true.
    I've said my peace...
    God Speed...
