So, Restaurant Week is over. (Spoiler Alert: Gene and I skipped tonight’s reservation in lieu of just ordering pizza…first world problems, yo!) Night One: Dinner @ the restaurant in a hotel a town over. Yummy, delicious, and the smell was incredible (I have more waxing poetic to do about that, BTW…later?). Gene won because his…

And now, the not-worklife…
I swear, I totally have a life outside of work. Really. We’re about 80% of the way through restaurant week again and once again we’re eating out every night. Last Friday, dinner was at the restaurant in a hotel the next county over. The hotel was part of a chain that I stayed at once…
Worklife…
(Alternate Title: Is it February yet?) So, I had a first interview for the out of the blue job I got the call about two weeks ago… And a second interview yesterday. And now I’m sort of patiently waiting for a call or an email or a carrier pigeon or a fax or a smoke…
The Isle of Big Payroll…
OMG, I have a job interview tomorrow @ 2 PM. I am SO SO SO excited. I keep thinking of that “I hope I get it” song from (I think) “A Chorus Line”. OMG OMG OMG I want this job so bad. Honestly, it’s not even that I want this particular job, it’s that I…
Mixed Up Blessings
(Ha ha, yes, I said blessings…shut up) So, things at work are getting a little different. Right now things are a little worse but they’re on the road to getting way better. We have a new girl on our team. Yay! She is unbelievably new to our industry so we have to teach her everything….
Weekend…
Saturday I worked from 10-5 and then went to Target (yeah, some boycott…). I made it home about 7:40, took an Ambien soon after and woke up sprawled on the dog bed in the living room about midnight. Sunday, I went to the mall with Denise and bought some cute clothes and went out for…
Bah
I’m having one of those moments where I wish we still used credit cards because I would go crazy buying things that I want and may or may not actually need. Cute boots (Elaine, but you don’t WEAR boots, you idiot!), goorrrrgeous handbag (Elaine, you need another purse like you need a hole in your…
Year in Review 2011
1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? The only thing I can think of is that I really started to follow Twitter. I don’t Tweet that often but it’s very interesting. Ooh, and I also started texting. I love my smartphone! 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and…
Past Xmas
So, here’s what I did on my Xmas Long Weekend (WAHOO I HAD THREE DAYS OFF FROM WORK…BOO-YA!!!) (Srsly, did I tell you that I almost cried when I found out I had 12/26 off from work?) Anyway. 12/23: Only had to work until 5. Stayed until 5:09 – I win! Gene and I went…
Almost Xmas…
So, here is a sample of what I’ve been up to this month: 1) We had our bedroom repainted and now it’s a beautiful blue color. The doors and windowsills are a warm creamy color (that looks a tinny bit pinkish in some lights). 2) The other night I came home and the guy from…
