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.

29.6.02 ( 7:40 PM ) Val Night Off I went to work and discovered that they had entirely too many hosts on the floor. So, I (being the gracious, generous person that I am) volunteered to go home early... ;-) So, here I sit...what shall I do with myself now? Maybe I'll watch a movie.
The Princess Herself gets married in two weeks. I bet her Dad is crying...a lot. :-)

26.6.02 ( 10:13 PM ) Val Big Day. Tomorrow is my first day actually serving at the restaraunt! Up until now, it has been all hosting (which I do enjoy) and I'm excited about the change of pace. What else new has been happening? I've started going to the Y to work-out...it's a blast. And Skip went grocery shopping today (food, yeah!). And I went home to bum some video tapes from my parents--but I forgot a couple of things I wanted to get from my room while I was there. I'm in a good mood though. This has been a pretty random post, but I'm not up for the deep thought today.

23.6.02 ( 11:02 PM ) Val Decisions. I think I am going to start writing again...I miss it.
[P.S. Dad, I have the night of 25 July through 1 August off from work. I'll give you a call if I don't hear from you in a couple of days.]

22.6.02 ( 12:39 AM ) Val No Personal Info, Please. Just a quick note to the "Voice from the Past" who recently chose to comment on my blog, I'd appreciate it if you didn't share whatever personal knowledge you may have (parent's names, where I live, my school, etc.) in such a public forum. This is my blog and I get to choose what information is shared about me. I deleted your comment and I reserve the right to edit any other comments as I see fit. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk and/or formally introduce yourself. And on to other news...
Chillin' With The Homies. Last night, I went to an Arena Football game (one of my friends has a brother who plays). It was cool cause I got to hang with a bunch of people I hadn't seen in ages. I also learned a little bit more about football from my guy friends who had the courtesy not to laugh at some of my more stupid questions (correction: they did laugh but they answered them anyway)...I'm tired cause I just got home from work and I've been waking up early to hit the gym :-) Night!

12.6.02 ( 10:28 AM ) Val Happy Day. Sleep is a good thing...a very, very good thing. I slept a lot on Monday and then I just slept in right now (I really shouldn't have 'cause I have some errands to run before work but I can do most of them tomorrow) and now I am in a good mood.
I also went driving with Skip Sunday night (my 3rd driving lesson--yes, I'm 19 and don't have my driver's license) and we went on the road....oooooh, scary. ;o)

8.6.02 ( 11:51 PM ) Val I'm Not Perfect. I know this may come as a shock to some of you [*grin*], but I'm not. I think this is best proved by my actions at work tonight. Faced with the irrational priggishness of one of the servers, did I a) immediately turn to God in prayer for patience and wisdom? b) fume verbally to other people about her idiocy and allow it to negatively and destructively affect my evening? c) invite her out into the parking lot so I could beat some sense into her with repeated blows to the kidneys?
The answer is most definitely b, c was running a close second...and I'm ashamed to admit that a was so far behind I did not even think of it as an option until I got home about ten minutes ago. *disappointed frown*
Lord, help me to grow in patience, wisdom, and the strength to turn to You first. Amen.*
5.6.02 ( 8:09 AM ) Val Moving Out. I moved out last night! I am now the (incredibly excited) roommate of My Fave Gal, Skip. I have to finish getting my room situated, and tonight I'm going back to the house to finish cleaning out my old room. Not much else to say...I want to get some other stuff finished before I head out to work. :o)
