Finally, a summer to remember?

So, I finally got a job! Woot...I'm working at the Culvers on William Cannon. I'm really excited to start...I start on Monday at 6 pm. =]. I'm supposed to have Khaki's, so I went and bought some, they provide shorts, but I didn't want to wear shorts. I have 1 pair of Capri's and two pairs of pants. I don't like them, because they are kind of old. lol. I couldn't find any good ones at Target for a decent price, plus I'm going to work in them, so the more conservative the better? lol.

I've been shopping a lot lately, I guess that's just a summer thing for me, but I've been pretty frugal about it..so thats a definite plus. I go to Ross, a lot. haha. I found jeans for ten dollars! I bought one pair and then went back the next day with my mom and bought 2 more. I bought one pair of skinny's, one pair of straight legged, and one pair of wide legged. =] My sister is at my grandparents house, so she is getting a lot of stuff, lol. I also bought three new shirts, one with yellow and white stripes, one navy blue, and one black with white ghost-looking things...idk how to describe it. My sister brought me like..5 shirts..I think. They are mostly yellow, so I now have enough yellow to last me at least 2 weeks, wearing a different shirt everyday! I'm pretty much set when it comes to that..so I'm going to broaden my color pallet. I bought a few shirts with my birthday money too, one with smurfs and a really really pretty blue one. =] I still can't believe I bought a pair of skinny's..and liked them! They are really cute, but it's hard to get them on/off because they are skinny on the bottom part of your legs...and I have big calfs..thats where the majority of my muscle is. :) Oh, and I went to St. Vincents, lol..and I have gotten two new dresses, both of which are immodest, but not so that I can't buy something to go underneath/over to fix it. lol. One is purple and the other is black. I love them both so much!

Haha..so my summer is finally starting to pick up. I got to spend the day with Travis yesterday..and we had a blast. We went bowling, I'm not very good and i was told that i bowl funny. I guess I do, but, oh well....it works for me..sorta. haha. Mmmk..after that we went to China Harbor, and then back to his house and played xbox. Lol, we were bowling with his Aunt and cousin.....then went to China Harbor where they met up with his other cousin and grandpa. =] I had fun. =] I'm so happy to finally have a job, I've been looking all summer, now I just need to pick up on everything that I'm supposed to learn. I have to go get a Social Security Card because my mom lost mine in her mom's house, so I went to pick up a transcript at ACC, because they can use that to identify me and issue me a new card. I need that ASAP, for my job. We'll probably go down to the office on Monday...and then head over to a bank to see what I need to do to open an account...I've been bugging my parents about that for a while. =]]

Ack, so play practice. I've skipped so much, but I feel like I'm doing well at them and catching on pretty fast. I hate how we don't have mutual, but instead have play practice. It's such a drive from Del Valle and we have to leave 45 minutes early....and then we don't have time to eat dinner because we're driving down there..and then we're in until 9...ugh. Its just not easy to get there at all. Then, a few people make me really feel like I shouldn't be there..and I'm not naming names, but sometimes its better to just help and not try to correct everything that's going on. I'm happy to be a part of this play and I'm very thankful for the oppurtunity, but I'm really frustrated with how the practices are being instituted. It's hard on my family and our gas bill. I don't like giving up my Saturdays...because I love spending that time with my aunt and mom. I don't know how things are working out tomorrow....but I'll figure it out I guess.
