It's a little after 11am and I just got the call that I dont have to come into work at 12 for my on-call. I was actually relieved because I worked last night till 11pm and it was my first dinner shift so I was worn out to say the least. BUT I made $94 in tips!!! :D and I got to keep $81 of it. You have to tip out the bus boy, expo (person who delievers food) and the bar... so after that doling I walked with about $80... very exciting!!! The lunch shift I did on Tuesday I made $40 in tips but I only worked from 12:00-2:30pm, so not too long. Tonight I work at 6 in the banquet room and am looking forward to it!
Yesterday I got to see Patrick for the first time since he left for Massachusetts last Saturday. We went to lunch and then ended up playing a borad game with my sister and her friends. It was just nice to see him if anything... glad he is home :) AND he gets his braces off in july. He's had them for forever, before we started dating. So its going to be weird seeing him with them off, but he's excited and so am I. I told him I get to be the first girl he kisses without braces... quite an honor, hahaha.
Family reunion is next Monday. Family is coming up from California... staying in the apartment above our garage. I requested Monday off so I could help mom get ready for our guests and Patrick might come over for a bit to play with the boys.

first day on the job :)
It's almost 9:45am and I just ate breakfast. Going to go downstairs to workout and watch Sex&the City soon before I have work at noon. Passed my server final yesterday! 91% :) So today is officially my first day of work on my own and tips!! finally. I'm kinda nervous but hopefully it will go well. I actually got my schedule and I'm working everyday until Sunday this week... blah. And I have like 2 'on calls,' one today at 4 and another on Saturday. AND I work both Friday and Saturday nights this week, ick. But hopefully I'll start making good money to bring with me next year. I got my first paycheck yesterday too. It was only for one week ($167) but that's still good I guess.
Scrapbooking was really fun with Maddie and Sarah last night! We made 3 different themed spreads that turned out really cute so hopefully I can go to Michael's and buy the right sized scrapbook for those pages.
Patrick got home last night really late from Williams. Today he's playing golf with his Dad and friend but hopefully if I don't have my 'on call' I can see him tonight. I miss him!
The whole family left me home because of work while they go and pick up my brother from wakeboarding camp 2 hrs away. Then they're shopping and going to dinner... family bonding minus me... wooohoooo. But I guess its kinda nice to have some me time. Off to work out!

tennis time
Just running off to tennis. It's actually sunny out which is impressive for our usual june gloom days. I have work today at 2:30 (server final) ahhh!! and then I'm taking a scrapbooking class with my friend Maddie :) very excited. I have just started scarpbooking this year. I made one for my boyfriend and now want to make one for myself, scrapbooking my senior year of high school. Hopefully it will be something fun... off to hit.

the first one
Hi. My name is Lauren and want to first off say that I've never had one of these. I've tried to keep journals or diaries to document my life so that I can look back and be able to re-live what I might have forgotton as the years go on. BUT, I find myself getting two weeks into them and then losing momentum... so here I am trying something new, hoping it will stick :) I did used to have a livejournal where I would post prose and poetry but then that even seemed to get old quickly. That and the fact that I felt very emo splashing my feelings about life and relationships across cyber space, lol.
To start off with I'll give the basics of my life right now. I am offically a cwa 2007 high school graduate. I'm headed off to California for college in the fall. I just started a new job as a waitress and am finishing training tomorrow. yah! I'll finally get to serve on my own and make my own tips :) I have my "server final" tomorrow, which is kinda intimidating but its basically just questions about the food and menu stuff...im hoping!
Otherwise I'm just enjoying myself and trying to take advantage of my last summer home. I still catch myself thinking about high school and classes in fall, which is an understandable habit since I went there for 14 years, but it is real and I am leaving. Bittersweet I guess.
What else? I have a boyfriend of a little over a year and a half :) very happy. but he's staying here and I'm going so we have already subtley agreed that we wont be together next year. I dont know how I feel about it. Sad, of course but I rarely think about it because then I start freaking myself out that I'm not going to have him soon so its better just to enjoy the good stuff right now. yeah? Well, whether its right or wrong to aviod the subject I wouldn't want the thought of how hard its going to be in a few months to ruin what we have now (if that makes sense.)
