Hola from the Arctic Tundra!

Hello from the arctic tundra! There's a major news flash!! Antarctica has relocated to Greenville!! It is a bitter 19 degrees and I am snowed/iced in my cozy little house. I went to work today at 10am, supposed to work to close at 10pm, luckily we closed early at 8 because of the weather. Well, not so lucky, I went outside to my car, which had been sitting in the ice for the last 8 hours, to find almost a solid inch of ice over the entire thing. Twenty minutes of defrosting could not warm this wicked ice and I quickly gave up. So I went back inside to try to find a scraper… I'm in North Carolina, of course no one has a scraper. So we use a kitchen tool to attempt to scrape the ice. No such luck. I am now beyond annoyed and on the way to despair that I am going to have to trudge home a mile in the weather in my 10 dollar k-mart restaurant shoes and no hat. Before you all groan that I should have thought ahead and worn warmer clothing, yes I know, I am well aware of my mistakes thank you. But alas, I made it home okay my coworker dropped me off and my poor honda is a frozen ice cube in the Longhorn parking lot.
Literally, the walmart was a war zone for shovels and bread. But anyways work has been crazy and I really wish I remembered all the crazy things that happen to me on a daily basis. Only in restaurants do people act this crazy I swear. 
I feel this way every single day. I have to try with ever fiber of my being to care that people have enough ranch dressing, or their 64th refill of sweet tea. This next picture is awful but truly depicts what happens to me every day. Larger people are notorious for informing me that they are on a diet and will have water or a diet soda, which to be honest with you, i don't care to know you're trying to lose 12 pounds, that is not information you need to share with me. Your doctor? yes. Your family? sure. Your server? No, I could care less, I will absolutely sell you this 1400 calorie cheesy chicken dinner with mac n' cheese. But sure, you want a water to cut down on those calories, by all means go for it.
And my last server picture, truly represents how I felt about the 18 person table I had last week that left 17 dollars, and the 11 person table that left me 15 cents. thats right, cents. They took away our auto gratuity for tables above 8, so now we just get whatever they leave us, which is almost always less than 5 percent. This job will make you a hateful person, I now know why you see older waitresses that haven't smiled since 1982, its because people are awful haha. But I do love my job and I am grateful for it every day, I am a lucky girl!
Oops! Haha, very wrong, but very funny. Other than work, school is going well. I am a genius, and the last couple classes have been walking around helping other students because this last class was about "What is in the cell, and what are the functions of the contents" … Learned that in 8th grade but hey who doesn't need a review! I should be in for another few A's!! 
My weight loss journey is continually heading in the right direction and I've been working more on my back lately, hopefully in time for summer I will have some definition in my shoulders!! But below is a chronicle of my starting, one month, three month, and now picture!! I am so proud of the progress and never want to go back to the unhealthy lifestyle!


I am heading to JMU this weekend, and looking forward to seeing all my friends again and letting loose after a busy January, it really flew by!! I am also looking forward to going up to Vermont with my parents and the Murray's in just a few weeks. Hope all is well with everyone, and I should post again next week!! Here's my quote picture of the day, really how I like to live each day:
High: JMU this weekend!
Low: having my car snowed in at work :(
Weather: SNOWW!!
