belief is not enough. there MUST be faith.
Swimmers during learn to swim week, at a suburban swimming pool, probably Wellington region, ca 1939,

'... one wants to be careful about the word "believing." We too often mean by it "having confidence or assurance as a psychological state"-- as we have about the existence of furniture. But that comes and goes and by no means always accompanies intellectual assent, e.g., in learning to swim you believe, and even know intellectually that water will support you long before you feel any real confidence in the fact. I suppose the perfection of faith would make this confidence invariably proportionate to the assent.'

employee of the month of june :]
i've been waiting on this for a while, and i finally got it.
i am NOT one to boast, but i KNOW i deserved it. :]]
i got a $50.00 prepaid visa and spent it within an hour of leaving work.
this is what i got:
and this:
which i am very excited about. i HAD to get it because when i just flipped through it at the store, i immediately opened to a page that had my FAVORITE quote ever on it. i took it as a sign.
quote:
"You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."

fingers crossed!
i know we have already picked a place, but we couldn't help but look some more.
THIS place has a DOG PARK and having Sykes with me will be
10,000xs better if there is a CLOSE place to let him run :]
it doesn't hurt that the place is BEAUTIFUL and seemingly affordable.
it has a "spa" with tanning and massage.

10:47am
I should already be ready for work. I'm not. I got in bed at like 10:30 last night and slept until about 9 this morning. I was at work yesterday from 8:45am until 7:45pm. It was a long day. The worst part about it? That's going to become a regular thing for me when I'm done with school and, as much as I am excited about NO MORE SCHOOL, I am NOT excited for those hours at work. :/
In other news, I am so very in love with my boyfriend. I hope we get to be married one day.
ps: WHY can't we have a dewey's bakery in raleigh.
i NEED cake squares and it's not fair that winston gets ALL of them :[

i got that chicken strip sandwich, that day!
it was awesome, too!
i got out of bed at, like, 9am and it is SO dark and cloudy that i'm tempted to get back in.
in fact i might. nate is at class until 11:45 or so. i was HOPING that the sun would be out so that i could go to the pool until he got home. but no, of course not.
yesterday his mom and david stopped to see us on their way back from the boone to wilmington. they had driven delaney to boone to stay with her grandparents for the week. we went to chilis and it was delish. when we got in the car to leave it wouldn't start. the battery was COMPLETELY dead. like, un-jumpable, so we asked this guy and his girlfriend if they had any tools.
at first david just thought maybe the corrosion on the battery was preventing it from getting any juice. this nice guy in his pimped out civic totally had a whole bag of tools. he let us use them, and when that wasn't the problem, david told them thanks and said they should go enjoy their meal. they guy offered to leave his tools with us so david kept the adjustable wrench so that he could use it when we got a new battery. he just told us to stick it under his tire when we were done. how nice and trusting is that? he was def our hero!
now all we needed was a new battery. walmart was two miles in one direction but it was open late. advance auto was about 700yards in the other direction but was closing in 15 mins. i suggested to call nate's roommate, but no. :P they opted for advance auto, so while nate's mom (donna) and i waited, they walked. i decided to call the place and ask the guy if he would be so kind to wait until they got there before closing up. he was pretty awkward on the phone and asked me things like:
'well, how long will it take them to get here?'
(umm, not sure. i've never walked from chili's to advance auto, sir)
and
'what do they look like?'
(they'll be the two guys who walk in at 8 o'clock and ask for a battery. COME ON)
so, they guy said he would be there until 8:10 or so doing paperwork. he wasn't very kind but he wasn't exactly mean either. not 5 minutes later (it's now like 7:50) nate and david come walking back. i asked them "what happened??" nate said "i just called bob (his roommate). he's going to come pick us up and take us to walmart." i'm like, OHHHH when i threw that idea out it was good enough! so then i remember that i've just asked this advance auto guy to keep and eye out for nate and david and now they aren't going. i told nate he had to call him back to tell him never mind but nate said it didn't matter, so whatever. no biggie. so we're waiting on bob to pull in and here he comes and he pulls in, and this nissan pathfinder in front of him stops right in front of him and pulls up to our car and yells out the window
"DO YOU WANT THE BATTERY OR NOT?"
it was the advance auto dude! i look at my watch and it's EXACTLY 8pm. which means he left the store before it even CLOSED. "i didn't see your friends walking anywhere". CREEPY. we told him they accidentally walked in the wrong direction and we would probably have to go pick them up. :P
anyway, david hops in the car with weird advance auto dude to go get a battery. now bob is there for nothing. so bob, nate, donna and i stand around telling funny stories for a half hour. we were beginning to get concerned at about the 20 minute mark. i mean david did hop in with some guy he doesn't know that came and FOUND us in the restaurant parking lot. FINALLY david gets back with creepy AA guy with a battery. david said the reason it took a half our was because the guy was closing the store. hahaha. WITH david there. we used the nice guy's wrench to install it, and then we put it back under his tire with 5$ attached to it. HOPEFULLY he got it :]
it just thundered!

Picture Heavy?
How has it been almost a month since I posted? Maybe because there is never really anything new in my life to post about. In the last month I have lost one Betta fish and gained 5 new ones. How does that happen? Here is a semi-panoramic of my tanks. The two small bowls currently have to two fish in them that are usually in the bigger than you see, BUT they are sick right now and are being quarantined. It's very serious business, this fish keeping!
Here are my fish:
Azrael
Male Double Tail Betta
Here are my fish:
Azrael
Male Double Tail Betta
Ares
Male Delta Tail Betta
Lucian
Male Veil/Delta Tail Betta
Viktor
Male Veil Tail Betta
Caspian
Male Delta Tail Betta
Most of them came home with Fin Rot (which is why their fins look torn in some places) already so I've been treating that. It's ridiculous how many fish I have and how much work it is but I love them.
What else is new? We had an awesome Redken class at work yesterday. Lori Zable came and showed us some awesome techniques and she was SO fun so it didn't suck QUITE as bad that it was 8 hours of class on my day off.
Last weekend, or maybe the weekend before, I went out with Liz and Sarah for Sarah's birthday and it was SUPER exciting. My old friend Zachery showed up with his super cute girlfriend and we all had a grand time dancing the night away at 5star. GOOD TIMES!
Adam Davis, one of my really good friends from elementary school and high school and all is getting married on Aug1. My cousin is having a baby soon (def an illigitimate kid but mixed babies are usually pretty cute right?) so that's kind of exciting. I actually haven't seen her in a very long time but she totally lives in Durham so I guess I should get on that. Gotta go back to school in August :[ Maggie (my manager) is getting married October 10. Nate and I will have been together for 3 years on October 1. My lease is up (FINALLY) at the end of July and tomorrow is July1 so that is VERY exciting. My brother's 23rd birthday is Aug26. Nate and I are going to Ohio the 2nd weekend in August to see my dad. He's never met my dad... This weekend is July4 and I think I'm going home to see MommaDukes and Sykes-e-pants.
I guess there is quite a bit going on in the next few months!
OH, and my hair is still growing!!
Annnnnd.... done?
I'm lame.
