Day 7




Sorry I didn't write last night. I came home from an extremely busy night of work & just crashed. I was exhausted & went straight to bed.

So yesterday, I had to wake up at 7am to be at the beach by 8am for the baptism.
There was hundreds of people there, it was wild. It was like one giant hippie fest except they were all holding bibles & singing Jesus-loving-songs. Everybody sat around in big groups & sang Christian songs. Then they all said their prayers & got into the water to get baptized. I got to hear the whole story about why 'it's important to get baptized' from the pastor. Interesting biblical reference & meaning behind physically going into the water & all.When it was mom's turn, we all came in with her & she talked about her calling with God to the pastor. Then she said a prayer outloud while we all held hands. (I was trying so hard not to burst out laughing at this point!) Then the pastor took her further out into the water & dunk her in.Then she came up & it was done.

Afterward, we all went out for breakfast @ the Village Grille. It's local restaurant that's right across the street fr. my work. I had to rush through breakfast so I can get to work on time. Made it to work with just a few minutes to spare :) I'm such a G like that!

And mine! :)


Work was relatively slow during the day. I had a few tables & spent most of the time reading through my magazines. I was hoping night time would be better so I can make some money. 6pm came around & it was absolutely DEAD in the restaurant. I'm starting to worry. Then a big storm came & rained like there's no tomorrow. I'm thinking to myself, oh crap.. there goes every chance of making any $$ tonight. But to my surprise, people started pouring in even with the crazy weather outside. The whole restaurant was packed for the rest of the evening. I did over $1200 in sales last night. Go me! I even got to leave 30 minutes early because I tripled Kim's sales that night. I just wanted to go home & get some rest. She can stay a little later & take whatever tables remaining.

With that being said, I went home & crawled into bed. I wanted to write you but I had no energy left in my little body.
