Hiya to the IHOP crowd!:-)

Well, let's see....tonight I left work early because there were too many people there. Before I left I loaned my ticket book, with my blog site addy on there of course, to another server to use for the evening. So, if they happen to see the site and visit me I would just like to say:

HIYA MERRY-DETH!! ( YOU TOO UMER!!) :-) :-) :-)

Okey dokey then, I am going to spend some quality time with the kids....because they don't know what sleep is evidently :-). Is it any wonder that I look ten years older than I actually am???

VOTE,VOTE,VOTE!!!

Just a reminder for those of you who happen to run across this site. Tuesday, November 2 is Election Day. Make sure you get out and vote, vote, vote. Vote for whomever you choose, that is your decision. But please, please, please, let your voice be heard! If you don't participate in it then you don't have the right to complain about it. Y'all have a great day!!

Nothing New

Do I have the most boring life of anyone I know? Mayhap I do. My routine consists of work, home, cleaning, work, home, cleaning. Oh, yeah, the daily two hour nap...which I have been surviving on for almost 2 years now! (Don't let anyone tell ya it can't be done!) I have no idea what I will be doing today but I do know that it will consist of work, home and cleaning!

In the immortal words of Deanna Carter...."Did I shave my legs for this?"

A waitress complains :-)

Just wanted to ask a question. Why are people soooooo rude when they go out to eat at a restaurant??? Having been a waitress before and a customer as well I have been able to see this issue from both sides of the fence. What ever happened to just plain old decency when you are out in public? As a waitress here are some of my pet peeves about SOME customers:

CELL PHONES!!!!! When you have a waitress standing there waiting to take your order put your cell phone down. You are not the President of the United States. You are not a celebrity ( except maybe in your own mind). You are not special enough to keep someone ,who is probably busy themselves ,waiting!! Please put it down for just a minute. I promise....the person on the other end of the line will wait while you order some fries.

NON-TIPPERS!! I am not talking about tipping if you receive poor service. You should not tip then. However, if you receive good to excellent service, please tip. A lot of waiters/waitresses only make 2.13 an hour and this is how we pay our bills. Yeah, I know we could find another job. And you can stop making excuses for being cheap and go find a dollar menu at McDonald's.

VERBALLY ABUSIVE/SARCASTIC CUSTOMERS! Be careful about irritating your server. Ya never know what you might find in your onion rings. Now, I have never done this myself, nor would I condone doing it;however, not everyone is like me!:-)

Anyway, just needed to vent before I put on my happy face and get in the trenches at my local watering hole. Whoo hoo!!

TGIF (Fall that is....autumn.....soon to be wintertime)

I love autumn, yes I do!! Having been born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama and having a birthday in what we call the 'dog days', I have never enjoyed celebrating my birthday. Who would when you have to keep the cake in the freezer until 5 minutes before you eat or otherwise it will melt?

Now, autumn here is not like it is everywhere else. Instead of lasting for three months, it only lasts for, oh, roughly three weeks. And then we are into our version of winter, which takes place bewtween January 5 and February 2. See by the time the groundhog sees his shadow we are already warming up. Grrrrr.....

Anyway, it is a rare fall day outside today and like most people who are not used to this kind of weather I shall put on my snow suit and grab my skis. Those leaves on the ground ain't for nothin' ya know!!! ( I hope to take my kids up north one day for a winter vacation....so they will know that snow is real and not just something you see in pictures!:-))

Computer dunce tries her hand!

Hiya all who care to read this! I am a self-professed computer idiot. However, I do love to journal and when I heard about blog just decided to try it out. Of course, I do not expect anyone to have any interest in what I have to say but it's cool to give it a whirl anyway. :-)
