Tomorrow morning I leave for Washington D.C.  I've never been so I'm pretty excited!  I still have to pack and it's 1:30 AM!!  Hehe.  Well, I'll be gone for like 12 days!  YIKES...with my family.  I think it'll be alright though.  Well, say a prayer for me if you think about it.  I'll be doing a lot of traveling.  I love you all and hope yall have a great couple of weeks!

I'm home and had a GREAT time.  I love family.  I got to spend 72 wonderful hours with Mark and Sheila.  I couldn't have asked for a better sister-in-law!!  We had "girl time" while the boys golfed.

I can't believe I leave for Illinois in less than two months!  I have to check-in exactly 2 months from today.  The closer it gets, the more real it's getting.  Nine months in Rockford!  People like to remind me that it's REALLY cold up there.  This is a typical conversation:

Person: "So when do you go back to school?"  Me: "Oh, I'm not going back this year; I'm going to Master's Commission in Rockford, Illinois."  Person:  "Really?  Doesn't it stay in the single digits up there?  You're going to hate that."

Positive people!  Come on!

Tomorrow, I am Oklahoma bound. YEA!  Before my brother moved to OK, I'm not sure I'd ever intentionally been to OK.  I get to see my brother and sister-in-law tomorrow!  YEA YEA YEA!

I work out at this place called Curves.  It's a women's only workout place, and it's SO funny.  I'm by no means "in shape", but these older women that are real over-weight are always saying stuff like, "I wish I had that much energy." (Talking about ME!)  It makes me laugh, but I like that there are no guys there!

Tonight is church.  YEA!

Tips.  It's not a hard thing.  People, don't eat out unless you go prepared to tip atleast 15%!!!  If you need help, ask.  The waitress will gladly help you figure 15%.  $1 is not the universal tip for people under 20.  Waiters make $2.50 an hour.  Tips are completely necessary!

Sorry guys, I just needed to get that off my chest.

I need excitement in my life!  I am such a boring person.

Today was fun.  Alesha and I ate lunch then went shopping.  Shopping makes me smile.  I got some REALLY cool black pants for 50% off!!!!  A girl asked me to work for her tonight.  I really didn't want to, but I'm glad I did: $85!!!

Work is as unpredictable as a girl's mood swings.  I worked lunch yesterday and made $20.  Then I worked today's lunch and made $40.  It wasn't much different as far as busy-ness.  I just don't understand.

I have a double-header tonight for my church co-ed softball team.  We kinda stink, but we're getting better.  It's SOOO HOT outside!

This weekend was so fun! My parents, me, Scott, and Mark and Sheila went to Six Flags Thursday.  It was SO hot but a blast.  I did the SKY COASTER!!  YEAA!!  It was awesome.  Then Friday my parents and I went to the Ranger's game.  The fireworks after the game were AWESOME!  Tonight I worked.  It was really slow then BAAMM!  We had a million people.  I made decent money though. Goodnight
