Weird

I watched Burn After Reading last nite, barely. It took everything I had to stay awake through the whole movie! It ended up being a very weird movie, but had some very funny parts, like Brad Pitt. But what else can you expect from the Coen bros?? Weird is what they do best.
I have 3 more to watch, not sure what I will choose tonite. Wanted, My Best Friend's Girl, or Lakeview Terrace. All of them look really good!

Oh and by the way, had a blast in Eville! The Jambalaya party was a success and everyone's food turned out great!

Eville!

I am once again headed to Edwardsville for a long weekend of booze, shots, dancing and hopefully some beer pong!
I am already dreading Monday morning!
Sunday Funday should be a good one though, we are having all the Mardi Gras essentials. Jumbalaya, cornbread, and I tried my first attempt at a King's Cake. Hopefully it is good. And I am also going to make some cajun stuffed jalapenos. And I am definitely going to get all the fixins for Hurricanes!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I had a date last nite. With a guy that I met at the bar. We went bowling and I had so much fun! As most of you know, I am not the best bowler! :) But I didn't do too bad! I actually kicked his ass in 2 out of 5 games, he got me on the other ones though! I won the important one though. We bet on the last game and I won, so he has to come in the bar and hang out with me on Monday. :) We will see how this goes, good I hope!

2 Weeks!!

Yes, the countdown is on! Only two more weeks and Dana and I will be on a plan to Vegas!! :) I can't wait, I have already started packing..in my head. We are only going to be there for 3 nites but I know I am going to pack enough clothes for 7! Oh well, you have to have choices!!

My goal this week is to make it back to the Y. Last week was just sooo busy and I took advantage of any free time to nap. Plus I didn't want to run myself down too much and get sick again. Especially since I had just gotten over it. If I work out a couple times, at least, I will be happy with that. I gave up on the whole "1/2 marathon" thing a long time ago. My schedule is just way too crazy to try and train for something like that. I would definitely like to do something though, now that I have been working out. I think I will have to start with a 5K or something a little smaller though! :)

I made it

Wow! What a long weekend, and it's not over yet! Not only ws one of our bartenders out of town, so I already had to work both nites. But, the other one ended up getting sick! So my dad ended up having to work both nites with me. Which actually worked out to my advantage, b/c I don't have to split my tips with him! :) So I had a good weekend in tips! Vegas is going to be fun!

This has actually been the first chance in the past 3 days that I have gotten to sit down at my house and relax. But I'm really not even doing that, I'm cleaning. When you only get to stop at home for an hour or so at a time the dishes and clothes tend to pile up! B/c that time is usually used to catch a quick nap or some food!

I just realized that I only have an hour and a half before I have to be back at the bar to train my friend to work Sunday nites, and I still have 1/2 the house to clean! The nice thing is, Sunday nites are super easy, so I will be sitting on the other side of the bar this time having a much deserved beer!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! :)

Well, I'm not sick anymore. Luckily it only lasted about a week, it helped that I actually got a chance to stay home and rest.
My schedule has gotten a little busier here in the past couple weeks. We let go of our daytime waitress/bartender so I have been picking up a lot of her shifts. I have gone back to being the daytime waitress, which I like a lot more the second time around! I have also picked up a couple more nite shifts. I don't think I am going to be getting out too much on the weekends anymore. But that is ok. It will save me money and keep me out of trouble! :) '
I do have next Saturday off and I taking advantage and roadtripping back down to Edwardsville. Was contemplating on going to Soulard for Mardi Gras, but decided against it. I know I will definitely have just as much fun in Eville!

Hope everyone has a good weekend and a happy valentine's day! I am going to be working...

So Sick!

I have got the worst cold!! I guess working an 80 hour week and then partying hard for two days isn't the brightest thing to do. I probably should have rested for those two days. But I can't pass up any chance I get to hang out with my Eville and STL friends!! :)
I have speant the last couple nights putting in some really good couch time and testing a few different cold medicines. One I have found to work pretty well is Theraflu, the kind you dissolve in water. Kinda hard to choke down but shows results!

To anyone else out there who is sick, I feel ya!

Great Weekend!

I made it home this morning after an exhuasting weekend! I was looking forward to my trip to Eville as a little mini vacay. However, I should have known better that is was just going to be two straight days of partying and drinking! :)
I had a blast though!! Saturday nite we partied at Jason's after he cooked us dinner. :) A nite of beer pong, jagers and dancing. It doesn't get much better than that!
We got an early start on Sunday then headed over to Steph and Will's. They through another great party with tons of good food. I think I consumed enough calories to last me all week! I couldn't tell you who won the game but we did kick some ass at rock band!
Getting up this morning to drive home was a little rough, but well worth it!

Hope everyone had a great week. Now begins my major saving spree so I have money for VEGAS!!
