My faithful audience, I do not know how to begin to apologize about my long hiatus from you all. I am sincerely sorry for not keeping you updated with my witty anecdotes and charming tales of my life here in Redneck Paradise. What is Redneck Paradise? I hoped you would ask, another word to add to your vernacular. Redneck Paradise: noun, a place where people are extremely overweight, insist on drinking 42 glasses of 1000 calorie sweet tea, then proceed to tip 4 dollars on their 60 dollar meal. It has been the place I have been slaving away at for the last month since I wrote to you all. I have been Longhorn Steakhouse's indentured servant for about a month now, and I am happy to say it is going well! I really enjoy it (most of the time) and have been getting up to 9 shifts a week!! Most weeks I work 6 days, at least 3 doubles a week. Now for the funny stuff, my work anecdotes. Things are never dull down around these parts when you work at a restaurant. Sundays are usually the most interesting days to work because we get a lot of mennonite people in to enjoy some nice electricity and cow after their church services. Most days I end up with a church brochure in my tip book, which is nice, I think i'm up to 17 different phamplets now, and am able to narrow down my decisions about where to attend church. However on this particular occasion a woman, complete with bonnet, pulled me aside and said she worried for my soul because I was wearing pants, and was I aware that they were evil….I explained to her they were my work uniform and I did not have a choice as politely as I could. She said she would pray for me and my soul… So there's that. Mostly what I get at tables it "Darlin' you're not from around here are you" … no what tipped you off? The fact that I had to clarify if you wanted sweet or unsweet tea? Or that I didn't say ya'll every five seconds? I am not sure. But I have forgotten most of my funny stories because work days have become a blur together.
My life has also been a little crazier because I have been seeing someone. Shocking I know, me settling down with life!! His name is Kris and I met him through my darling sister because they work together. We've been together about a month and I have high hopes that I will not self-distruct on this one for at least another few weeks.. Hopefully! We have plans to go to the Panthers vs. Patriots game in Charlotte in a few weeks and I am so excited to go to a pro football game! Don't support either team, but Uncle Mike you will be so happy to know I bought a Patriots shirt because I must support my Yankee heritage. I hope you all will meet him at some point he's a great guy and I am a lucky girl! Things are great with Bails as well, I have seen Wailey a whole lot less as she gets older. She ate cereal for the first time the other day and absolutely loved it. I am a proud auntie!! This is all for now because i am pooped after a long day of work but I promise I will keep things more frequent. Love to you all and can't wait to see you Christmas time!! Quote of the day or rather verse of the day:
Definitely words to live by in my opinion.
My best friend <3
High: Probably just that I am happier than I have been in a long time
Low: That it took me so long to blog!
Weather: Getting chillier around these parts!!
