I have such an entertaining job

Yes, I do. Lifeguarding can be very boring, but it also provides me with just enough humor to get me through a long, hot day. There are ups and downs to working at Surfide.
Ups:
1. Snow cones
2. Dippin Dots
3. Free admission on days off
4. Easy, fast tan
5. Adorable babies in the kiddy pool
Downs:
1. HOT, HOT, HOT
2. Pay is low
3. Boss is evil...really, she is.
4. Terrible tan lines on shoulders
5. Did I mention it was hot?

This was the first week we were open, and not every school has gotten out for summer. So needless to say, it's been a slow week. However, there have been very special people who have gotten me through it. I was at the shore position of the wave pool, just waiting for one more rotation so I could take a break. This guy (not child, but full grown man) comes up to me and asks how to get in the wave pool. Now, if you've ever been to Surfside, or any other waterpark, it's not hard to figure out that a wave pool is supposed to be simulation the ocean. There's a shore...then it gets deeper and deeper as you go farther. How could you not know how to walk into a wave pool!? It's beyond me. The next day, a boy professed his love for me. I'm guessing he was about twelve or thirteen. It was very nice, I was flattered. He and his friends kept me entertained while I worked the lazy river, which definitely isn't very eventful. Today was my first (and only day) off this week. So what did I do? I volunteered to guard for a 2nd grade class party at the pool in Asheton Park. Yeah, I need money that badly. It was hot...and boring. But I got me some cash so I'm happy.

So, that's my spill on work. Speaking of work, I've got the be there in the morning so I better hit the sack. I'm working second shift, which is the longest. Eight hours, wahoo. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Ya'll should come to the park sometime. I can get you food and merchandise for half price! I'll be there almost all summer so come on out. Goodnight!

Just so you know

You are corgially invited to my funeral. I am dying of BOREDOM! It stinks. But if you're bored too, feel free to check out my songs page that was updated today. Also, I've added the links to some other blogs I like over there ---> under "cool beans blogs" if you feel like blog surfing. Peace out.

Well isn't this nifty

Sorry for the delay in an update, my internet's been down since last Friday. Thank goodness it's fixed now. Halley does not do very well without her internet. So while I was dying of boredom the other day, I came across a really cool program on my computer- Windows Movie Maker. I'm brand new to the whole thing, but I tried it out and made a little thing for Keith for graduation. Check it out.

A sigh of relief

NO MORE SCHOOL!!! Yeah, I'm pretty excited right now. Today was the last day of classes for the semester. I've still got a couple finals (one Saturday and two next Monday), but I'm just counting my blessings. We have a band meeting tomorrow to discuss next year's marching season, as well as the trip we'll be taking. Guess where we're going.....give up? Ireland and Scotland! The mayor of Dublin, Ireland invited us to come take part in the St. Patty's Day parade. That's gonna be awesome. If anybody knows how to make some big money, let me know. Unlike other band trips where we're the ones getting paid to go, we have to fork out the money for this one. But I'm really excited.

So, I've been pretty busy lately. How about we do a photo recap?!

Newsflash!! Cari has hair!!! Okay, so I was instructed by Jonathan Herston himself to put this adorable little angel on my blog, but I couldn't pass up that cuteness even if he had never mentioned it. She's grown so much since the last time I saw her. Precious, precious, precious. It was good seeing Jothanan (as I call him) and Katie too. I really am going to come visit ya'll soon!!! If you want to see more of this little bundle of joy, check out page 3 of this album.
Saturday was the Tau Beta Sigma/Kappa Kappa Psi/Sigma Alpha Iota formal. A lot of my night was spent throwing rose petals in the air, as you can see. It was okay, but it would have been a little less boring with a date. Maybe next year. Here are the rest of the pictures from formal.

The Chrysalis hoot that I was talking about in the previous post was this past Sunday. It really was a hoot! The numbers were a little disappointing, but it's not about numbers at all. There was great fellowship, worship, and fun. Thanks to everyone who helped out in any way. I really appreciate it. I'm already looking forward to next year. We were definitely very blessed by The Crossing (Zachary and Trey) who led worship for us. All I can say is Shane & Shane better watch their backs. It was a blast getting to know these guys. Their entire mission is just to serve God, and He's using them in mighty ways. They're so humble, but I'll give them the credit they don't give themselves. :o) They rock! So keep an eye out for them. Oh, and I might just end up being their photographer, haha.

Check out the rest of the hoot pics, as well as my wonderful photoshoot for the guys. Also, they got a hold of my camera while I was running around. They had a great time doing their own little modeling session.

While I'm giving you a billion links for pictures, I also updated the pretty stuff album.

Oooo! Also, I finally wrote a second verse to a song I wrote a while back. Last night I took a break from studying and a line popped into my head. Of course, I had to finish the whole thing before I could even think about studying more or sleeping. Needless to say, I went to bed pretty late but it was worth it. Feel free to visit my songs page and let me know what you think.

I think that about covers it for now. By the way, I'm getting a haircut tomorrow. Just thought I'd let ya know. :o) And incase you were counting, this is my 50th post. That's a big deal, so how about ya leave a comment or something? I'm getting kind of sad here...not a single comment for the past few posts. Where's the love? Well, I'm about to chill out. Once again, there's no chance of going to sleep because of my wonderful neighbors and their thumping bass speakers. I just love those guys... Until I see you again, God bless.
