Eye On The Prize Dude!


Isn't it usually true that anything of value to us is worth fighting for? I've been thinking some about that question the last couple of days. What is important to me? What is worth fighting for, fighting against and what isn't worth it? I'm trying to reorganize my values and prioritize my life again so I don't really have the answer(s) to this question yet...Generally I know where I want to go but not specifically. How much time and energy have I spent and wasted on things that are really unimportant or trivial? What have I fought for that was really not worth the fight? How long have I been spinning my wheels - looking in the direction of my destination but in actuality not going any where?

To Be A Waitress and Other Updates...

So, I got a job! And it's not exactly the job I wanted or was looking for but I'm digging it so far. I started working for a local restaurant this week. They will be opening a new store in a new location in May and I am getting trained now to be one of the opening staff members for that store. Technically I was hired to be a "Cocktailer" but right now they are running me through the waitress, or what they call, "Sales Staff" training. I feel like I'm back in school again. I'm studying menus, abbreviations and codes, sauces, ingredients, etc. Since I have no experience in restaurant work its all very new and entertaining to me. I'm thoroughly enjoying the people I am meeting at work and that come in to dine. Most of them kind of crack me up!

But any way, I'm taking the long way around to saying that I'm sorry I've dropped off the social planet this week. I've been loosing my mind to a restaurant. I'll be back and hopefully will have more fun things to write about as a result of this change.

Love to you all...
