So, the worst of the weekend is over and I have survived to work another day! There were hoards of drunken stupid people at the bar after beer fest on Sat. I had one quick drink and couldn't handle the stupidity of the masses and had to leave.    Today I was a manager/server and worker outside on our patio. It was sunny, thus we got busy! Made some good money...gonna be able to make my car payment this month after all ( woohoo ) just tired my lil body out for sure.

Everyone was shocked that I didn't stay after to have cocktails today. I said, people I have one more day of work to get thru...one drink is good. I need a meal and sleep! It has been a full week since my last day off and I have put in 45 hours or so in the past 6 days. So off to soak my bosy in the tub, eat a lil bit of mocha chip ice cream and then blessed sleep for me! Hope everyone is having a fabulous Memorial weekend!!!

So this weekend is the flat out busiest one for the year that our restaurant has. The local golf resort hosts a "beer festival" on Sat. that sells out in no time flat...and the people who can't go to get just come to our bar! The ones who can go to it, then come to our bar after!! Plus it is already Memorial weekend so EVERYONE is off from school, work, everything and ready to play. Then on Sun. the same place hold a "Blues Festival" so it is just madness for our bar & restaurant. Now as I am managing on Sat. I should have a tom of fun ; )
Sun. I get to play server and make some tips off of all those people too, which never hurts!
I prepared myself last night by going to Border's, getting a good trashy book...grabbing some sushi & kicking back with all of that at home. Got a full 7 hours of sleep and I think I might even be ready for all the fun that is about to come my way...I can hope at least right?
hope you all enjoy your weekends!

Last night my friend Steph came over to watch our "late" finale of heroes. She doesn't have cable so she gets her fix thru me ( haha ). We made a whole night of it, which is always the best! A bottle of good local red wine ( Tobin James Syrah - a personal fave! ) and an assortment of Trader Joe's appetizers.

We had a nice night just being casual and girlie, watching our sappy sad ending to the season, then chatting about all the good and bad stuff going on in our lives right now. I think some times we get so crazed with all of our "have-to-do" stuff that we don't have little nights like this....and they are so needed!

I think once a month we will get together at either her place or mine and just hang out like that. It is way cheaper than going out, we can wear our sweats if we want to even!! Plus I feel like we got a real chance to connect as we were not around a bunch of other people or having a server or bartender come ask if we needed anything. Not that I don't enjoy our nights our at said bars & restaurants, but it is so nice to have those more ....oh yes i am SO going to say it " quality " times!

haha

So, Idol is on tonight, but I'll be tivo'ing it & not watching as I had to miss the finale of "heroes" last eve due to work. Got some friends coming over in a lil bit for wine, munchies & the show!!

 So am thinking as far as idol goes that it will be Jordin...what say those that watch?

hhhmmmm?

we will see tomorrow!

So i find that if you actually have a life outside of this site, and don't post for a few days you lose all of your value. I dropped off completely...went from being in the top 20 to not even listed. If I truly cared about such things I might even be upset, but I guess the value that the people that see me in my day to day life is just of more importance to me!

  It is all such a bit of perpsective for me.

Isn't it just nice to know that we matter to those around us...that we are of some value, loved, cared for, all of it. As humans we thrive of the love of others, our family, friends and significant others give us that love that feeds us and makes us stronger. Some us add to it by the people and friends we have made on here. So to all my shoutpost friends that I have dropped away from in my busy past weeks...thanks!

You guys rock!

Had a blast this past friday going to see a great show locally.

Robert Randolph & the Family Band

and

Ziggy Marley

it was fabulous...best of all it was within walking distance from my house.

My friend works at the venue so I got in for free, plus on top of that she was working the beer truck so we only had to tip for beer! Which were $10 for a 32 oz. so for $15 we had 5 of those...good deal on our part for sure 

got some amazing pics as we got nice and close to the stage for Ziggy, this was my third time seeing him...for those who enjoy reggae music, he puts on a lovely show!

So this week this guy that lives here in my area got into a bar fight and due to what resulted from this action is now about to be tried for murder. What in the world in the first place drives you to settle a disagreement by stepping outside and using force...over a DAMN pool game in a F*@king bar? I was not there and no one saw what happened so it is completely unknown as to what transpired. Some say that the guy that he hit fell into the curb and thus that is what did it. Other people said that he hit his head on purpose into the curb...I honestly don't care how it happened! The point here is that one live has been lost over this...a guy my age who had a wife...kids...and is now not living. Then the guy who is being charged with the crime, he has a child, and he is looking at years in prison now. Over some anger at a game in a bar....or some smart remark tossed around at a bar? Damn people, what the hell is going wrong in our world? It just makes me sad all around!

my new car is getting her first chance at a road trip this weekend! I am going south to san diego to see some friends and family : )

oh so very excited about it all...time off from work...more than one day even! seeing my mom for the first time in 5 months. getting to party on cinco de mayo with all my crazy friends down south too. it is like all the best in 3 days. plus a road trip with new tunes in my sweet lil cherry darlin'

woohoo

hope everyone else has as much fun as I plan on having

; )

xoxox

So my friend takes me to a class at the gym last week.

 She says "It will be FUN!!!!"

Now I am one  of those people who does not find working out to be fun, good for me yes, fun no!

So we go, and fun it was not. It did however kick my ass in a very good way and I will go back and take it again tomorrow. If I can continue on this path I might even feel good about appearing in public in a two piece swimsuit this year ( haha )

This morning I am off to try the yoga class. Did pilates yesterday, nice and relaxed movements....but oh boy do you feel the burn on them!

Hope everyone has a lovely day .
