Happy Birthday, Amy!!
Friday night bowling was lots of fun. Everyone was broker than broke, so those of us who bowled only bowled one game. Amy brought Andre, which was cool, and he started drawing me a Tarzan. For karaoke, Scott asked me to sing *NSYNC with him, so we did "Tearin Up My Heart." I don't like to repeat songs, but I made an exception for him. <.g> It wasn't my best effort, though, and it got videotaped by both Andrea and Amy. Eeep! Then Andre and I sang "Summer Nights," which was lots of fun. Heehee. We just had a good time with it.
Yesterday at work was so incredibly dead. Manager gave eight ERs (early releases), which is almost unheard of. Jessica had her break at the same time I did, so I asked if she wanted to go over to Take Five (our cafeteria, which is all the way across the park). Then I remembered that it was raining, and groaned about having to eat our breakroom sandwiches again. Stephen was like "Do you have a valid driver's license? I have the Pargo today... if you promise to drive safely and park it legally, I'll give you the keys." WHAT FUN!!! It's like a little electric golf cart thingy, which I SO did not know how to drive. Lol. Let me tell you. Jessica and I were shrieking and giggling the entire way over there. It was funny. It was an adventure for sure. And it makes me smile that the managers trust me enough to give me the keys to a company vehicle. <.g> Today he was all "we're not going to let you leave... it sucks when we have good people working with us and they have to go." Awww.
Backing up. Today is Amy's birthday, so last night we went to Margaritaville to celebrate. Blue Stone Circle is HER band, and they were playing. Let's see if I can remember everyone who went. Amy, Andre, Andrea, Scott, Joaquin, Jen, Lisa, Michelle, Tonya, Carolyn, Heather, Alex, Chris, Chris's friend (never got introduced)... anyone I'm forgetting? Anyway, it was a nice group and we danced the night away and had a GREAT time. Then we came home around 2, had a cell phone adventure (we accidentally "stole" a phone left on our table thinking Jen had left it... woops... and the people came to pick it up... at about 3 in the morning), and then since we were up anyway, I decorated Amy's cake (Barbie-themed) and Carolyn and I wrapped the door in Scooby Doo paper and made a big sign and everything. It was fun. Needless to say, I didn't get to sleep until about 4, and had to get up at 8:30. Ack. Kate=TIRED.
Today was uneventful for the most part. I worked 10 hours. I got in at 10:30, got my break at 12:15, and worked until 8:30. That was seven hours of working without a break. Grrrr. Stupid Cast Deployment System computer. Manager told me he'd give me a 15 minute break later in the afternoon, but then there was a crisis at Mama Melrose (the other restaurant our managers manage), and I never did get it. We (C, T, Joaquin, Marcus and I) were going to go to House of Blues tonight, but Carolyn and I are totally pooped. I know Tonya's disappointed, but it's been a long day and a long week.
Tomorrow's my Friday. Thank goodness for that.

Hey Kate... I checked out the webpage for I-4 and they sound cool. I listened to TBA. I liked it. On the website it says that they released the CD in Orlando, so you should get it before you leave :) Maybe you can do some Public Relations stuff for them! hee hee!
I am happy you are having a blast and doing so many cool things. Maybe you will end up staying down there! Won't your parents love that. Anyway, life seems as fun as always.
Beside your great social life, work seems cool. And your manager seems to like and respect you a lot. How old is he? Did you ask him what it takes to get a permanent job? Well anyway, Good luck. I am sure you will finish the summer really well.
Have fun!

I do have their CD. I've been listening to it nonstop. Heehee. But half of them aren't on the CD... it was made when there were only 4 of them, and then I think one guy left and was replaced. Sadness. =( They supposedly went into the studio yesterday to record a "real" album, so YAY! Hopefully I can get my hands on it sometime. =)

hee hee... well I am glad you have another band to be a fan of! Especially since they aren't that big yet. So you don't have to do it cause everyone else is...know what I mean? anyway, I already knew they went into the recording studio. I think it was posted on their website. Well enjoy their performance on the 20th. Have fun, flirt, become friends with them...especially the violin player. you both have something in common, not to metion he looks pretty cute on their pic! Okay, I am being totally superficial, so unlike me. I will behave....for now...hee hee On a side note, I will have to figure out how to express my mischievous/bad giggle with a quick little word...anyway.
