Burning Down the House

Tonight I don't plan on writing a lot.

This day took so much out of me. I didn't wake up when I wanted to but I still managed to shower before starting my 50 mile drive to work. And yes, I do drive all that way every time I have to work.

Oh! reason behind my title. I'm definitely listening to Burning Down the House by the the Talking Heads. You know it, and if you don't, shame on you, look it up.

Anyway when I got to work today I was supposed to be hosting (seating people). But it got so busy, and the servers can only handle so many tables. When each server had 6 tables they made me go serve too.

I like serving because of the money but I really just wanted a break. It is a lot of work. And for all you Mr. Pinks out there, you better tip, and be nice to your waitress. You don't understand the stress until you've done it.

So I took three tables and made $14 in about an hour. When the rush was over I was allowed to go back to hosting, thank goodness.

When I drove home my wonderful uncle was in town. I met him at his hotel and we headed to walmart, he wanted to look at laptops because he wants a new one. He wasn't very impressed with walmarts.. but since I live in a tiny town its kinda all we had to offer.

Hmm, after that.. we went to a steakhouse that was up the canyon a bit, just out of cell service. He likes to take me to places that I couldn't afford without him. My steak was $25! Which is outrageous! I looked at him all wide eyed and told him that is about as much I spend on food in a week. He merely laughed..

We talked and enjoyed our meal. Which was amazing. That steak was like butter. Then we basically drove around the rest of the night.

I love when he comes out, he inspires me. And makes me want to do random things like pack a few sandwiches and just drive. And end up wherever I end up. He says he does that all the time. I would love to do that. Don't worry about a thing, right Bob?

Sorry tonight's entry was more of a journal than my deep thoughts. I just had a great day, with almost too many thoughts.

I would love to hear from you guys though, if you're reading, comment and let me know, that way I know I'm not just talking to myself. Have a great night you guys!

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

Positivity

Warning : There is rambling. We are asked the same question over and over again while we become adults: When we are younger we say things like: Race car driver and Magician! Little do we know that our ideas on what we want to be in the future rarely stick. When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher, I think it was because I loved school and I respected my teachers, I looked up to them.  But as time went on, school wasn't so much fun anymore, it was more about discipline and our times tables. (You know, the hard stuff). I didn't like my teachers as much as I used to, so my dream of being a teacher changed pretty quickly. Of course, as I got older my dream job kept changing, it wasn't until my 13th birthday that I found the thing that stuck, Photography. My step dad bought me a Canon (I know, I know, gross) for my birthday. I took so many pictures!! And I was sure that photography was my thing, no one else's. ...

American Ninja Warrior

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Did you notice something different about tonight's post? Well, if you are an avid reader, I'm sure you have. Tonight's post's title is not a Coldplay song. (That sentence came out weird). I'm sitting here next to my mother watching a TV show called "American Ninja Warrior" Have you guys seen this show?? In my opinion it is Wipeout on steroids. Now, I'm sure the competitors aren't on steroids, it's just an expression. People from all over the country train for years (no joke) to get a shot at a million dollars. They go through these crazy obstacles trying to get the best time for completing the course. The top ten competitors from the semi-finals compete at "Mount Midoriyama" in Japan, which is the "birth place" of Ninja Warrior. I'm posting a short video so you guys can see what I'm talking about.   Check this out This show is truly amazing, s...
