Ya know...I certainly am not the one in this place who is on the perfect path..(sorry Gordy I'm not up for the challenge yet)
BUT. jeezzzzzzz..
What is the point of this site? It seems to me that many people want to bait the others whom they think aren't quite as holy..or maybe God doesn't love them as much because they dont KNOW the truth.
Holycrap. Chill-the-heck-out!
And on top of it all..this is supposed to be a hookup site? If you were in the market for that, all you'd have to do is start reading blogs to weed out potentials.
In honor of annemarie (windsage) I have a song...
I see your true colors shining through...
C'mon..sing with me.

I know i've done a bit of pissNmoaning in my blog recently. It's just from stress and stuff but it passes. I unload and feel better. LOL
Anyway...I know some of you have been praying..even if the prayer was just asking God to shut me the heck up! 
At my serving job for the summer I've been making nada because of the economy plus my days were cut down to 3 days a week because its been so slow. Well...my last 2 days I made 200 bucks each day. well..just about..it was like 198 and 190. WOOHOOO!
AND...customers are starting to come into my store. Only a few..but it something. I have had 3 regular customers already,,,but one of them is a pastor and he's moving to south carolina next week. UGH. He just needs to tell all of his friends before he leaves what a great place this is. HAHAHAHA
Also some skater has come in here 3 or 4 days in a row and today he brought a couple of friends and they bought stuff and sat around writing on the tables. (it's ok..theyre painted chalkboard on top)
Today my sales were equal to the first 3 or 4 days combined..which is next to nothing..but it's a start!! WOOHOOO!
Today I made up a flyer and am going to go to the businesses around me and drop them off with some samples of my really really good stuff that I bake 
OH..and my regular job starts in a week and a half and my grad school classes start in..umm...2 1/2 weeks i think? the 25th
I love to be busy. It's always tough when the new schedule starts, but once I get into the flow it all works out. I just hope I have some time for overtime at the school. I love interpreting for their sports and stuff..well..except for football practice. that's boring and stank.
Thanks again.

I am exhausted beyond words. I'm supposed to be baking some more stuff but there's no way I can.
The only reason why I'm here wasting time is because I can't move my body all the way out to my car to get home. LOL
We opened the coffee shop today, then I left at 11:30 to go do a 3 hour interpreting assignment at the college. I came back to the store at 3 or so and then baked some more and then cleaned.
The way this was supposed to be....
my younger doesn't really cook but she wants to learn to do this stuff. God knows I'll be cleaning up after her. UGH! My older was supposed to be here because this was for them. Her husband had been excited to help. I left to Mexico and the world skipped a beat or something..I dunno.
All I know is that I'm freakin dilerious.
It'll work out. It has to.
I need to go clean my house then I'm going to bed. I have to get up again in a few hours.
Have a great night

As much as I can appreciate Latin American culture, there are things that make me crazy.
Today, my landlord was here (the storefront landlord). He was telling me that if it were up to him he would give me a month free to get me going...BUT I have to deal with his wife..not him. He said if I were a man, I would be dealing with him because he wouldn't want a man having business dealings with his wife, and then I'd have the free month. BUT, if he were to do that for me, his wife would think something was going on of course because that's why I'm dealing with his wife, because I'm a woman.
All along he was saying..ya know what i mean right? And of course I know what he means. It's freakin stupid, but I'm all too familiar with some spanish speaking cultures.
This is in no way a put down. I my landlords are typically great people and I love my Mexican and Dominican and Puerto Rican and Peruvian and Panamanian and Cuban friends..but I know how it is too. Normally I don't care..but this time it's costing me a month's rent. LOL!!

So.......
Starting your own business sounds like a grand venture huh? DON'T DO IT!!!! The only people who can afford to do it are the ones who don't need it. LOL And to do it in this lousy economy? What kind of nut job would do that? LOL
Anyway....once you start it's like a snowball rolling downhill, but things progress like cold molasses running uphill in january.
Any day...I promise. I hope so cause I need the coffee myself. lol. Oh...I'm heading to the roaster tomorrow. After all those coffee samples I'll be bouncing in circles by the time I get to work at 4. That could be fun...I'll make everyone crazier than typical. heh heh
One last random thought....I really need to start practicing my spanish more. I text message a lot but almost never speak it since I got back from Mexico.
Wow...I really need to change that ugly old picture I have up here.

Its been so long that it took me a couple of tries to remember my password.
Well....my last post said that my moved 2 minutes up the street from me. Not anymore. Her husband wanted to go back home...so they went.
I just got back from mexico a week and a half ago. Spent 6 weeks there at a university. LOVED IT! Except that it made me broke!
I'm opening a coffee shop/bakery. Yep..im still crazy.
I'm still an interpreter and don't plan to ever stop. I'm just working on adding spanish to the deal. OH...and I'm back in school. Starting my masters next month in Latin American studies/Affairs of the Americas. Its cause I want to interpret for an embassy. The state department pays better than the school department. My advisor wants me to learn French and Portugese when Im done with spanish...we'll see what happens.
Uhh.....what else? I can't think right now...I've been breathing in too many paint fumes here in the store. And I'm hungry.
This was my 2 second update....I'll be back.

Yeah, I know..it's been a while.
My life is so chill now it's crazy. I still work a couple of jobs and go to school, but I have weekends off most of the time.
Anyway...regardless of that...
Hmmmm...what do I have to update?
I don't have internet at my house because verizon doesnt hire english speaking people.
umm....my lives like 2 minutes from me. That's where I am now. Theyre both working and both of the babies are sleeping at the same time. WOAH!! shhhhhhhh
I love school..love my job..love my friends. My car is fixed so i love that again.
A vacation would be good.
Same ol same ol i guess...no sense coming back to update huh? LOL
Sooo.....how's things?

Ok..I know I post a lot about work..but that's a huge part of my life right now. Anyway...it's not pissNmoaning. I love my job! Well...one of them anyway. hahahaha
My 3rd job I held onto because their busy time (at Busch Gardens) is when my main job is off..ie; holidays, weekends and school vacations. In order to hold onto a position there, they want you to be able to accept 3 days a week. Well..with my schedule that's impossible. They ended up letting me stay on (I was hired seasonally for the summer when school was out) with only saturday and sunday on the condition that I could work mondays off and weeks off from school. (which is why I have to work labor day tomorrow)
Anyway..with giving me the holiday, they took away my saturday next weekend. Well..it's the day my moves from Largo over here to Tampa so that works out. Then a girl at work doesnt have enough hours so she asked me to pick up my Sunday. Soooooooooooooo. I have a whole freakin weekend off!!!!Is that insane or what?!?!?!
Wait!! It doesn't end there...
The boss who does the scheduling (we have like 5 bosses..3 on duty at a time) came to me and said that she was going to have to drop me to just 1 weekend day because the regulars need the hours. She said she's going to have to tell the seasonals that they have the option to take 1 day a week or be let go. She told me it's good if I stay because it's good to keep your foot in the door for busy times. Which is my plan and she knows this...I get along with her really well.
Sooooooooooooo..I'm still in amazement that I'm going to have 1 day off a week. I truely didn't see that happening until Christmas break or when I quit one of the jobs. Now I'll be able to go to church once in a while..because I'm sure she's going to rotate be between saturdays and sundays. AND I'll have some recuperating my sanity time.
I haven't prayed for my work situation because I just thank God that I have the opportunity that I have to make enough to pay my bills. Even the times that I get overtired and irritable I'm still exceptionally grateful. Well..there are times when customers make me feel like I'd rather live in a box under a bridge than to deal with them...hahahahahaha..but overall..Eh, it's a job.
God is awesome enough to fix a situation that I didn't think I had the option to fix.
Also, I know a couple of you have prayed on my behalf. Thank you for that.
