summertime just began...a week ago

You betcha it is hot and humid and now raining! The AC broke at work today.....Yikes. I kept telling myself its OK this is what Panama is like, no AC, endure, don't go home, yes! It was insane how many people sat on those couches despite the 91 degree room temperature.

THE NATIONAL is coming to Florida! YAY. And it isn't until October, so lots of time to anticipate this great event! I can't believe the "convenience" charges for these tickets seems rather absurd to me.

What a great day in service! I am so happy I found my bible student at home! It had been a month!! I was beginning to think she must have gone off to India or something....and yes she had been there for 27 days. Getting behind in my time from school this semester was not fun, but it is nice doing practically nothing but going out in service these last couple of week.

I feel like I am slowly getting my power back at my job. I think I might have abused it last time I had it so I will try hard to be discreet this time. Mwhahahahah

at avril and travis's wedding

Tom's EP release! and other things!!!

Tom Moore played his new EP at Stardust Coffee tonight. I was very impressed with the looping of music and such cute lyrics. PLUS Meagan Moore (from Pas Secret) sang towards the end of the set. She did so good. Her voice sounds like a little angel! aww. "I need you in my young days". la la laa la la lah la You can listen to his songs!

Well, as of today PAS SECRET plans on opening for Tom Moore's show at Austin's Coffee house on July 24th. And as of recent we might have a new band member.... I love recruiting people. We have lots of work, but love the pressure of a show to make us jam our clashing schedules together!

Such an awesome day in service. It was so HOT. But I finally found this lead for an interested Hindi family in a gated community and someone finally got so annoyed with me punching the directory numbers that they let us in!!!! I met the nicest family from South India, a place called Kerala. Persistence pays off!

Our dog is so cute. After having him for years he just learned how to go up the stairs- but we don't really want him up here. So he gets stuck at the top of the stairs because he is too afraid to go down. I think he likes to hang out with cat even though there is a glass door. I am trying to find a home my cat. :( IF ANYONE WANTS A REALLY CUTE CAT let me know. He is declawed though so he has to stay inside. (I was not the one who handicapped him-but it is actually kind of nice he won't put hole in your couch)

WOW so I finally looked this up new sampler album from amazon-!!!! and it looks really good you get a a whole big cd for free! I'm downloading it now I think its new music!Digital Bang: The 2010 Sub Pop Sampler For Amazon

FRIDAY! is a great day!

Oh avril, mi hermana.

Imhansiemhonehi - now that's a long name. Me and kathy did search work till 10 o clock! Phew. It's about time I get some territory to do!

2 days of working with my boss! Lovely......but no! One more day.

I MISS YOU VIOLETTE.

I must be on time tomorrow. Although, I was only 6 minutes late today. And my boss takes over anything I find to do at work before I get to do. For example, (I feel so guilty reading my magazine when I know he can see me) So I found these really cool posters that "corporate" sent us of this new Hawaiian HAzelnut Coffee and they come with frames! So I set them all out on the floor and started figuring out how to put them in these frames- But then we get a customer- as I am making the drink, I look over and my boss was doing it- taking over the project. By the time I was done making the drink, my boss was back to youtube watching Korean futball, the framing was finished and they were leaned against the counter top, my idea, because apparently we are not allowed to put holes in the wall. And the herbalife products, which are number one ingredient- soy, products right in front of the pretty posters)  OHH maybe that's why he is so grumpy: all the powdery soy products!

Clove oil- I should have guessed

Talk about boringest weekend ever! I thought silly wisdom teeth soreness was supposed to go away in two days. But, no, day four and the throbbing pain in my lower right jaw was excruciating. The pain pills just made me sob- nonstop- I couldn't tell if I was crying because my tooth hurt or my face hurt from crying. I called the surgeon Saturday night and he told me that I probably had something called a dry socket. Which is when the blood clot either doesn't form or gets spit out. I went there today and he stuck little pieces of gauze that had been drenched with clove oil inside of the holes in my mouth.. Oh and the relief! It feels so amazing. My mom gave me a whole bottle of clove oil and I just keep rubbing it all over my gums!

wisdom teeth out!

It is the weirdest procedure! You can't eat or drink for 6 hours before! Starving. I was so scared- They make you squeeze a happy face ball; then they stick a needle in your arm, which is very quick, but hurts. Once they did that I couldn't hold back tears anymore. I started balling! But then all I remember is tears turning into laughing. It is so strange then waking up and you can't remember anything! I kept laughing then crying and back and forth. Then they send you out the back door. It sure was eventful. My cheeks aren't even puffy- I was hoping for some chipmunk cheeks oh well. My mom was so nice, I kept telling her she didn't have to stay with me and I was fine. But I am so glad she did- the numbness wore off and she gave me painpills and then she even spoon fed me a smoothie. (all I could think about prior to the surgery was how I was going to eat so much after because I was so hungry, but then i couldnt even get the food in my mouth) Pain pills are so weird my head keeps swaying back and forth.....

Hindi group is growing

We had 62 or 63 at our meeting today! So exciting. And a Brother from New Jersey gave the talk. He is a very good speaker. (He can speak Urdu) He spoke clearly and didn't use to many big words. This was the first time I actually followed the talk from beginning to end. (of course more than half the words I didn't know, but the general subject of about every 5 sentences I got!!) I am sure the visitors must have enjoyed it. Soo exciting seeing so many people come.

I am looking forward to this awesome Florida talent performing tonight at Tatame! The Phlauds will be performing along with new special guests!

Pas Secret (pas de secret...) has an almost official practice time so we'll be playing again hahaa someday...

Fitness magazine has an article 6 wks to a 5k!! I almost completed wk 1. (hehe a 5k is only 3 and a little miles- but it sure sounds intense!!) At first I couldn't believe how much they make you walk-- but whatever...you actually read a book while doing it!

oh my oh my!

1 of the 4 employees at my work quit today with no 2 wks notice. Then the other one decides not to come to work. My boss yells "alice, tif no more work saturday, you work saturday now." ahhh "i'll see if I have any openings in my schedule, gotta go its 10:32," and I ran out the door! If he would just ask nicely one would be so much more inclined to want help him. But the provoking with fear- that is what makes me turn off my phone to ignore your trying to make me feel guilty. I do feel bad, but I also need like 30 hours in field service time this weekend. Service group will not be breaking there that's for sure. Ah what  a sad coffee place.


Went out in service after work- turned into a long day! It is so nice having a big group!
