Life has just been slightly crazy. As I’ve previously mentioned, this job has me working a ton. Then Accountant and I went to North Carolina for Memorial Day weekend… and then I was sick… and then we had a whole bunch of stuff…and … I suck. I know. Quick run down: Accountant and I are great!! Like better than I could have imagined. He went away to Ireland for a week and I was like a lost puppy. He came back with matching claddagh rings… cute, right? Ummm… Work has been good. I’m over it but there’s still no luck on the attorney job search. Roommate is fine. And that’s about it… more soon. Maybe tonight. We’ll see…
Hello, Coffee… May 19, 2009
1. I’m not sure exactly how much coffee I drink each day. Most people can make a claim like, “I drink about 3 cups a day…” I’m thinking I’m at about 3 pots a day…
2. I twittered about waiting on a member of the Orlando Magic last week. One of my managers randomly saw it and spoke to me about it. No more twittering about guests at the restaurant…
3. However, he knows nothing of this blog! hahaha… I can’t put names but I also may have waited on a VERY high political mumbler last night. AND there were two of Hollywood’s funny men in the restaurant as well. No names. But, one is very small. Petite almost. Haha.
4. Accountant taught me how to drive standard the other night. We spent about 1/2 an hour doing it. I’m supposed to know enough now to help with our drive to NC this week for Memorial Day Weekend. He has far more faith in my driving abilities than I do. This could be the end of us… hahaha.
5. Speaking of NC – first vacation in like 10 years!! I’m so excited!! I got some new bikinis from VS and I can’t wait!! I think in between shifts today I will go tanning. Same with tomorrow. Just to get a small base. And so I don’t blind anyone with my whiteness. I would like Accountant to do the same, but he won’t. I’ll need to purchase a special set of sunglasses, like the kind you wear when there’s an eclipse… Don’t look directly at it!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAH!!!!!! hahahha… poor kid.
6. OK – got to head to work. Did you know that my 2 year anniversary from graduating law school was last week… and I’m still a waitress. AWESOME!!!!
Good Morning! May 14, 2009
1. I usually hate mornings… like with the firey passion of hell… but somehow I seem to be acclimating to being up earlier than normal when I have to work a day shift. I think it probably helps to know that I’m going to make money… yeah that’s it.
2. Like most other human adults (and some dogs I’ve heard about …. ahem… Filthy), I NEED coffee in the morning. Unlike most other adults, I put hot cocoa mix in mine. I find it yummy. Accountant finds it strange and just kind of stares at me with his big blue eyes and blinks in a confused manner. I don’t know why this throws him off so much but it’s funny to see.
3. Often I like to “snooze” for a bit longer than I’ve set my alarm for. I’ll set it real early with the hopes of getting a ton done. When it goes off in the morning, I get out of bed, shut it off and then reset it for an hour later. Accountant is in LOVE with his snooze button. LOVE. In fact, I can’t wait for the day when it just doesn’t work anymore. He uses his blackberry as his alarm and will snooze 15 times. 15!!! It’s ridiculously annoying. I’ve gotten to the point where when it goes off and he resets it, I give him a big shove… haha. Just for waking me up again. Ha!
4. The new roommate thing seems to be working fine. The best part? We barely see each other. When I get up in the morning, it’s after she’s already left and I have the place to myself. So…… I can get ready on my own schedule without fighting for the shower… or having to put clothes on for a while. This makes me happy.
5. The other morning I was all exhilarated and had tons of energy because we finally got a washer and dryer installed. With that I decided to be really productive and I got lots done. This includes getting Mrs. Gump’s wedding shower gift. I cannot wait for her to open it up on Sunday. I’m so excited…. I know you’re reading this little girl… get excited! Ha. I think I did good. I’m sure she’ll report here after the shower… hahaha.
6. Sadly, I must finish this and go to work now… but, I’m awake and ready for a big day! Maybe I’ll update more in the mornings since it allows me to drink my coffee and slowly wake up. Stay tuned!
Not too much going on… but for the sake of writing… May 5, 2009
Ah the lovely days of work and really nothing else…
1. Part of why I don’t write is because there’s not too much to write about. I work. A LOT. And, I’m tired… oh so very tired.
2. I’m planning a big surprise party for Accountant’s birthday and I’ve gotten the green light from his best friend, a frat brother and his sisters. yay!!
3. For some reason I decided to stop in the jewelry store today and take a peek at rings. I know, I know… and no, I’m not necessarily hedging bets on Accountant and I etc… but I like to look… and I got sized. In case Accountant decides to contact any of you, I’m a size 4. (Yes, ring finger… itty bitty I know)
4. I had a dream last night that I was preggers and about to go into labor. I told Accountant this morning and he looked a little sick at the idea. Since it was morning and I was awake far earlier than I wanted, I may have snapped at him. Made a comment about how the dream was set like 3 years from now and if me being pregnant 3 years from now would be a problem then we’re going to have issues. Really? Come on Snarky…. Must drink coffee before prego talk…
5. Mrs. Gump’s wedding shower is next week! Yay!!! Let the festivities begin!!
Listyle update! April 26, 2009
1. Things are crazy still. Here’s the run down…
2. I was training like crazy at the new Restaurant. AND still working at the old one. That all ended like a week or so ago. But, I’ve also just been working a lot… and been sick… and trying to get ready for new roommate to move in…
3. Which she did yesterday. It’s definitely hard having someone new in my space but she’s nice enough. I think we’ll be fine as roomies. I’m just trying to acclimate and it’s hard when I have SO many changes happening at the same time…
4. I also completely offended a woman at one of my FIRST tables alone on a Saturday night and she wrote a NASTY letter to the GM and owner. Seriously. My second day alone at the restaurant. My first Saturday night. COMPLETELY INNOCENT COMMENT after her husband made a crude comment. And she was sooo offended. Seriously? Seriously. How do I manage that? I think it’s a record, in fact. Jesus… I need a real lawyer job ASAP.
5. And, of course, there’s news on the Unofficial front… why wouldn’t there be? He texted me the other night when I was at work and he happened to be at a bar two doors away. So I met him and his friend for a few cocktails…. more details to follow at some point but quick story is we ended up in a cab going back to his place… making out… at his place he gets all romantical with a bottle of wine and cheeses etc… and then I start crying. Before anything more can happen the tears start and we both know it can’t happen because I’m not that kind of girl. I could never hurt Accountant like that. When I get home I am a mess and I call Accountant and tell him I was with Unofficial for drinks and that I need to see him. He’s so good to me. It’s amazing how dramatic I get when it has to do with Unofficial. Stupid Stupid girl.
6. I single handedly almost demolished the only healthy relationship I’ve ever had. All for someone who cares about me “an immeasureable amount” but can’t be with just me? No. Lesson SOOOO learned.
7. Did I tell you Accountant signed us up for the Marine Corps Marathon in October? Oh yes. Let’s get the training started!!!
8….. And that’s it for now. Real quick – I am happy but busy and tired. I’m still getting over this damn cold but almost over it I think. Hopefully my schedule becomes somewhat normal soon. Then I’ll update more. I’m going to try and make it a nightly habit as I’m winding down from work.
9. What’s new with you all? I miss my readers and your comments. 
Holy. Crap. April 13, 2009
Yes, I know I’ve been missing. And, as usual, I will try and update more often and fill in the gaps. But. A lot has happened. Well, I’ve been busy at least. That restaurant Unofficial was trying to get me hooked up with finally came through. I had another two meetings with managers and the VP of the restaurant group. I was hired pretty swiftly. I gave notice at current restaurant. Then I’ve been training and working at current restaurant all at the same time. So… I just managed 6 doubles in a row… 9 within 10 days. I’m beat. The new restaurant is great and I will make a ton more money. Other than that, things with Accountant are good. It’s my day off today – so I’m cutting this short. If I get some energy I will write more.
Birthday Part 1 March 26, 2009
1. I had an amazing birthday. I promise to post pictures soon (maybe later tonight) when I figure out how to dump them from my phone onto the computer… I guess through flickr? RE, can you help me with this one since we haz same phone? I am sort of an idiot with techy stuff… ‘doh!
2. So, yes… amazing birthday. Sunday was my actual birthday and during the day I did basically nothing… and that was perfect. I went about my typical Sunday activities of clipping coupons and organizing. Then it was time to get ready for dinner. I. Looked. Ridiculous. As in, ridiculously good… not to toot my own horn… but I did. I will try and post pic but w/o face. SO good! Accountant’s jaw hit floor. I laughed.
3. Dinner was great and I’ll be more specific with foodie porn in a later post. We were definitely the youngest diners in the restaurant (it’s a tad expensive and not the type of place our age group would be drawn to) and I got a few dirty looks from some of the older women. Whatever. It’s my birthday I’ll wear a short dress if I want to! As we’re sitting, I notice one of the managers looking at me.. and yeah… I know him. Like… KNOW him. We were umm “involved” in college. So he came over and said hi. Later, I had to use the restroom and I walked past him and the other manager. This is what I heard as I walked past “Damn, Manager…” hahahah. Too funny. He ended up sending over a bottle of champagne and a special birthday dessert.
4. Birthday part 2 on Monday was pretty fantastic also. I spent the day hungover, cleaning and cooking. Roommate got so annoyed after I changed and was setting everything up. She stormed out of here before anyone arrived. As she was leaving, however, apparently 2 of my friends had just gotten here and asked her if this was house # blah blah and her response was “WHaat?!” “Umm, excuse me but is this number blah blah?” “Ugh! Yeaaaaah! *eye roll*” HAAAAHAHAHHAHaHA.
5. Sunday I got one of the best presents EVER… a potential (99% sure) new roomie!! Wahoo! She sent an email on Saturday and I was working so I emailed her back on Sunday. She came by that afternoon and saw most of the place except for Roommate’s room. Then we sat and chatted for a while specifically about roommate expectations and we both are basically on the same page. She’s real nice and new to the city so she doesn’t know a ton of people. Also, she works at one of the huge law firms downtown as a paralegal. Ha! Maybe I can network with some of her attorney friends!! Anyway, she just needs to see Roommate’s room (time set up for tomorrow!) and then we’re going to make a decision. However, we’ve been emailing and im’ing all week and speaking as if she’s definitely moving in… so I think it’s a done deal. WAHOO!
6. Time for another double. More on the birthday stuff in another post with pics hopefully!!
Happy Spring!! March 21, 2009
1. Have I mentioned before how much of a baby I am when I’m sick? I felt like I was going to die on Tuesday and Wednesday. Last night I was convinced that I had a fever (my thermometer didn’t agree, I’m fighting with it!)… Poor Accountant had to listen to me whine, although he thinks I’ve sounded “out of it and spacey” the last few nights anyway so he believes I’m sick even if my thermometer doesn’t. I think I’m pulling out of it just in time for my birthday though!
2. Roommate and I had a major blowout the other day. It was via text and then an actual phone call which she hung up on me. The issue: she didn’t believe the comcast bill and was being obstinate. It was ridiculous. I left the house 2 hours early for work just so that I wouldn’t see her when she got home. I was so angry that I was afraid of what I would do/say if I saw her. I have NEVER been this angry in my life. It scared me. 11 days kids… 11 days.
3. In the mean time, I’m having a little shin-dig for my birthday on Monday. By shin-dig I really mean a small gathering of people at my house. Roommate has no idea this is happening. I feel like it’s no big deal since, well, she didn’t pay March rent and it’s my apartment now basically. Haha. Plus, it’s just apps and drinks. I’m pretty excited!
4. My birthday is actually Sunday, though. Accountant and I had planned on going to Douzo for dinner. However, I realized that it’s Restaurant Week in Boston this week and next. Then I saw that Meritage is part of restaurant week. I have been obsessed with the idea of going to this restaurant at some point forever. David Bruce is the executive chef and I’ve heard amazing things. So, I think we’ll be going there instead since restaurant week makes everything more affordable. I will post foodie porn for all of you (Ahem Random).
5. I have not heard from Unofficial in 16 days. This is a record. I’m not sad about it. Although I did have a dream that he called me and screamed at me. I hate those kinds of dreams.
6. So, as many of you have been able to tell by this, I have been in quite the funk for the past few months. Winter does bad things to me. I swear that I have SAD. I’m pulling out of it I think though (much like my illness of the last week). I have begun to take things into my own hands and do little things to make me feel better. I got a hair cut today. I actually did my nails last night AND I’ve been on a self-tanner kick (don’t worry no oompa loompa look). It sounds silly and trivial but it’s working. I’m feeling a bit better the last few days. I think it helps that some of my stress is coming to an end soon (roommate issue) but I LOVE spring. Let’s hope that the little tricks work, I can’t be miserable much longer… it sucks!
6. I think I may have an interview in the next week. I HOPE. I’m waiting on this one person to get back to me… it may be a great opportunity… keep fingers crossed please!
7. With Roommate leaving, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do about getting a new roomie. I’ve posted on Craig’s list and there was one potential that looked promising but she bailed. So, now I wait. I really kind of want no roomie though. Right now I can’t really swing it, financially. However, if the interview happens and I get hired… maybe I can then… hmmm… Anyone know of a person looking for housing in Boston? Let me know…
8. And now, I must leave for a lovely double at the restaurant. Fun fun!!
Give Those Legs A Stretch… March 15, 2009
1. There are less than 2 weeks before Roommate leaves…. Thank. The. Lord. I still haven’t figured out the exact date she’s leaving, but I’m working on it.
2. Today was St. Patty’s day in Southie. It’s supposedly this insane parade with everyone drinking on the streets etc. The plan was that I would go with a friend from down the street. I got up today early and then decided that I wasn’t up for it. I slept in, drank my coffee and clipped my coupons like I do every Sunday. And then I went for a run outside.
3. I have said it before and I will say it until I die… I should run more. I feel so good after I do. Granted, today I wanted to die at one point because my lungs were burning like crazy but that’s ok. I went out for what I think was a 3 mile run (my Nike+ ran out of juice so I need to get a new one). I’m happy I went. I’ve been needing to get myself back out there. It was colder than I thought it would be.
4. And now, now I am trying to figure out what I’m going to do for my birthday. I need a suggestion or two. I’ve hinted to him what I’d like as a gift (tickets to see the Fray in June). We’ll see. I AM excited, though, that my sister is coming to visit next Monday-Thursday!! Yay!!!! Love it!!!
Dreams or Nightmares? March 11, 2009
I have always been a pretty vivid dreamer. I can wake up and remember the most ridiculously minute details from a dream. Within the last few (6) months I’ve noticed that my stress comes through in my dreams. Last year, right before the bar exam I had dreams about getting sick again or forgetting simple legalese, etc. There have been a ton of dreams about Unofficial and a few about Accountant. When the restaurant is driving me crazy, I have dreams about serving… it’s so strange.
Last night (more like this morning) I had one about Roommate. And, it wasn’t really her in the dream (the appearance of the person was different). The dream was bad though. In it we got into another fight. Granted, her and I haven’t actually had a conversation in over 2 weeks, at least. The fight was terrible and I said really mean things. I mean, here’s the thing, I’m a bitch on here and say horrible things on here but I never would say them to her face. It’s just not necessary. I have a feeling she feels pretty terrible about herself on a daily basis anyway. Yes, I do have some empathy… sometimes. Regardless, the dream was vivid and horrible. I found myself “remembering” something from the dream and not being sure if it happened in real life or in the dream. I HATE that!
Then there was the dream about Hockey Player that I had. The dream was that he was in my restaurant, as a server! Why this boy pops up in my dreams from time to time is a mystery to me. The interaction is always something that amazes me, it’s so lifelike and real almost. It does take me a few minutes when I wake up to realize that it was just a dream and I haven’t actually spoken to him.
I find it strange the things that our subconscious will bring to the surface when we’re sleeping. What have you been dreaming about lately?
