Well...it's safe to say that it's been awhile since I've 'blogged'. Maybe if I had a cell phone I could do it at work while I'm bored. That's right, WORK. I got a job. July 2nd I was hired the Radisson Lynchburg, in the restaurant. My first waitressing job! :0 But don't worry, I've had jobs before. I just specialized in the retail side of part-time-job-orama. Hastings (books and music), Gene Taylor's (sporting goods), Rugged Wearhouse (discount clothing)...and more! Only respectable joing was Gene Taylors. Awesome place, awesome people, great working environment. Terrific boss (hey Duke!).

Onward! In case you don't know, Lynchburg is in VA. Virginia is in the USA. The mighty, strong... Okay, everybody knows the USA. Btw, I have no opinion about the war, but I am behind Pres Bush (he attended my wedding...well, his namesake did...okay, so we put a sign saying "President Bush" on a select piece of foliage at my outdoor wedding because it was right smack dab in the middle of the rows of chairs and we didn't want to uproot it. Now you know, okay? Geez!!). Like I was saying, I think Bush was meant to have the job so we have to honor God's will. It DOES say in the Bible to respect people of authority's decisions, and last time I checked, Pres of the US is a very authoritive position.

About Lynchburg! It's the other hill city. Also, it's the place where people fly off the road with an inch of snow. Pathetic. The whole joint shuts down for 2 days. (Try living in Colorado, you wimps!!!) But, I won't be living in Lynchburg much longer. Im going to live with my parents in Colorado (good ol' Red) for a li'l while, cause my mum is having a baby. Then my honey will decide what he wants to do with his life. (What do I want to do with my life? Well, I'm thinking of training as an auto mechanic, but not actually WORKING as one, if that makes any sense...)

Unfortunately, until that day, I have a roller coaster to handle. I have no car with which to get to work (my loverbug wrecked my darling '02 Toy Echo), and after waiting 2 weeks for the insurance co. (don't go with Farmers!!) to lift a finger, I called to find out who his supervisor was. I never once talked to the agent it was assigned to. And his supervisor got the ball rolling within 15 minutes. My complaint is now with VA law concerning the fact that it takes 10 DAYS for them to send you the title for YOUR CAR so you can send the title to the insurance company so you can again poke them in the a** with a hot poker so you can FINALLY get the money for your car which has long past been crushed into the flattest of pancakes. All this while losing a couple deposits on cars you've picked out in the meantime at car dealers. Sigh. (Current estimate to get the money: next Friday, Jan 23rd. Current car under deposit: '01 Mitsu Mirage.)

But somehow I have been able to get to work every time I've been scheduled to (35 hrs/wk, which is 6 nights), and some times that I haven't been scheduled. Like mornings. Overtime, here I come...not that $2.13/hr makes much overtime, mind you.

I can't wait until I get to take a road trip in my new car I'm going to get. Schweet...I love road trips!! I'm gonna take my lil Yorkie and fly. (Down the road, I mean.) Coldplay, Evanescence, Natalie Imbruglia (Torn), Hilary Duff (So Yesterday), Matchbox Twenty (Unwell!), Eve 6 (Think Twice), Moulin Rouge, and last but not least, Run Lola Run's soundtrack, which is top notch driving music to be sure.
Driving around with awesome European music is almost as good as visiting Europe!
