Once upon a time there was this girl. She had an attitude. And a spirit nobody could tame. She was tough and attacked each new day without fear. She went by my name and spoke with a voice only I could hear. She lived in my mind. But now...she's coming out.

26.7.02 ( 12:28 PM ) Val Procrastinators, Beware. I've recently added a fun little tool called "NextBlog" to my Favorites list. It randomly sends you to various sites hosted by Blogger. It's fun but I really didn't need another reason to sit and stare at my computer for hours on end. :-)

( 12:24 PM ) Val So, I was going to do all my banking today, but I got sidetracked. Oh well, guess I'll just keep my rent payment and my bill money in little bank envelopes for a couple more days.
I've recently been thinking that the Marines are, in fact, out as an option. Mostly because I've been thinking that I want the job more than the setting. So, college might be back in as my choice. (Particularly Fordham University and their Middle East Studies major) Since I'm not going to be jetting Rochester until next fall now at the earliest, I think that I may actually decide to continue living on my own. So, Skip and I are discussing the prospect of continuing the whole roommates thing, which would be cool...anyway, we'll see.

13.7.02 ( 9:53 AM ) Val Big Day. Today The Princess Herself gets married! Now I have to go and finish doing my nails. ;-) [Oh, and a note for all you ladies who want silky smooth legs, exfoliate with olive oil and sugar before shaving...it works!]

9.7.02 ( 11:57 AM ) Val Relevant Magazine: Gotta love how I can always find articles that speak directly to the place I am at in my life. Like this one.*
7.7.02 ( 7:19 AM ) Val One Week. Until the Princess Herself gets married. :-) Anyone want to set me up with a date for the wedding (6'+, Christian, likes to dance), e-mail me. [i'm mostly joking ;-)]

5.7.02 ( 7:53 PM ) Val Updated. I also posted to The Bride's Journey for those of you who follow it. Warning: It's honestly the way I feel right now, not sugarcoated. Understand?

( 7:43 PM ) Val Good Day, Bad Day. I went to work this morning despite the niggling voice in my head that persisted in saying I would probably have a better day if I just stayed home in bed (I was already in a fairly sour mood because of a whole truckload of other things going on in my life). I was happy I went to work because I then proceeded to make $50 in tips on a day that I was hoping to leave with $30. Then, I left my apron in the car of the work-friend who brought me home (yes, folks-the tip money is in there). So, I have to wait to get my cash and my check that was in my order book. (The girl is trustworthy so I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen to it, but now I have to wait for it). And now, my Mom just called--she got terminated at the bank this evening because of a check from four months ago (which means it was probably fradulent in some way). Which sucks because (besides the obvious reasons of my mom having to find another job and the fact that we already had to move so now coming up with the cash is going to be doubly difficult) I was on her insurace policy and I was about to get new glasses (I lost mine several months ago and was waiting for the once/yr buy glasses or contacts for $20 thing on our insurance...I can not really afford to buy new ones) and I also cannot finish getting my heart checked this week (for the Marine Corps) like I planned. My mom is a wreck and I can't do anything about it. And the "you should have just stayed in bed" voice is back in full force.
