Whew. Ok well I know I haven't updated in awhile. I've been mad busy lately. So today I start my first day of work, which means I will probably update more like I used to the past 2 summers.

As for current goings on...I've just been doing a lot of arranging at home. I moved from my small room that I've lived in since I was 2, into my brother's old room which gives me a little more room. It's a good move, just a little warm yet in that room >:L Went to a few graduation parties the past 2 weeks including Amy & Rebecca's, Terri's, and Kelly's. My party is this Sunday...so if you're reading this and are anywhere near or want to come and you haven't already been invited just drop me an IM or call :) It's Sunday, the 27th of June at my house in Bridgewater-5pm. Should be a rockin' good time.

Back to the grind, and here's a little ditty that I love about work, from one of the best movies ever.

Some people say a man is made out of mud
Well a poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bone
and a mind that's weak but a back that's strong.

And he was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines
He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal
Till the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul!

You load 16 tons and whaddaya get
another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don'tcha call me 'Cause-I can't go
I owe my soul to the Company Store

So if you see him coming
you better step aside
A lot of men didn't
and a lot of men died.
He's got one fist of iron,
and the other of steel
And if the right one doesn't get you
Then the left one will.

You load 16 tons and whaddaya get
another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don'tcha call me 'Cause-I can't go
I owe my soul to the Company Store
