silly crayon box

I am sitting here, not at my usual computer, but at my mechanic's computer...
why? you may ask...

Well, my lovely little Jetta, affectionately referred to as the "crayon box", needs some work...
$500.00 worth of work!!

AHHHH!

But I guess that's life...and one of the joys of having a car...

Good news is that I won't have to worry about breaking down on one of my (many) future trips to Georgia!

Thank you, Jason, my wonderful mechanic! The crayon box and I thank you!

Oh and one more thing...Miss Jami Willis, I hope you're happy! Look how many new posts I've written!! haha!! I freakin love you, you silly Clay-mate!

Induction

Tonight, I was inducted into a new club...that's right...a club....

SINGLE FOR LIFE! (for life = right now...not forever)

WOO WOO!

Jami, Meagan, Nate, and I are all proud members....

Secret handshake, password, and club shirts are still in the making...suggestions are welcome....

Cafe Ole!

Most of the time, I really like my job....most of the time....

I mean really, what is not to like? steaming milk, pouring shots (of espresso!), baking cookies, making smoothies (drinking the leftovers!!)!

I love talking to the customers and making friends with the regulars...

...what I don't love is RUDE people and PICKY people!

Seriously, I apologize for not being able to steam your milk to exactly 185 degrees because my steamer automatically cuts off at 161 degrees! For goodness sake! Does it really make that much of a difference?!

Whew! I needed to get that out...what also helps (besides venting) is that my favorite future lawyer came in to get his usual large decaf and bottle of water and then the nice lady from Petsmart for her medium latte- not to mention the great people I work with...Korey rescuing me from long lines, Danielle's lemon concoction, and Jason holding down the fort as I sprinted to the potty!

I just have to remember, daily, sometimes minute by minute, that soon I'll be at camp...yay for camp...and that it's not about me...IT'S NOT ABOUT ME! why is that so hard to remember?!?

Just a thought...

Ok, so I haven't done this in a while and don't know really where to start.

A lot has happened, and one thing I have learned...

Not much in life is constant...one thing is...JESUS!

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Yay for a God who is sovereign and eternal...
