Post-Thanksgiving Blahs

Wow, the turkey is finally gone! And in less than a month I get to do it again. The beginning of the Christmas season is a bit of a lesson in frustration for a waitress. There are some wonderful customers who do realize this is how we make our living and tip wonderfully during the holiday season. Then there are the 'others' (you know who you are!) who spend all day at the mall and then want to come in here and run your waitress to death, i.e. extra lemons, straws, napkins, waters, etc. and so on, and think that 1.50 is a grrrreat tip on a 75.00 check. Guess what guys? Learn the meaning of 15%!!! Christmas is the season of giving and I would really like to give but it's hard to do when you're not getting ya know?

Not meaning to complain, though. Like I said, I have some wonderful customers, most of them regulars, some of them not, who have been very generous this season so far. And may God bless each and every one of them. And God bless the non-tippers too.......they'll get it one day.

And of course, the true meaning of Christmas is not in finance. The gift that God has given us in His Son Jesus Christ is priceless and for that I am eternally grateful. Thanks be to the good Lord that I have a wonderful family, friends, my health, and a pretty good job (for the most part!) even though I like to fuss from time to time.....okay occasionally....okay, a lot!

I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful and blessed holiday season and may God bless you all!! :-)

sandy claws!!

just checking in

Nothing new to say here except my husband is rather anal retentive. I do love him tho so I think I will keep him around for a while, much to his dismay lololol.

Well the holidays are almost here and I for one am very excited about it. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my favoritest holidays of the year. I love the weather (even tho it never gets really cold here and almost never snows it will at least get cool from time to time) and I love the scenery. The whole autumn leaves, winter scenes, Christmas trees and decorations are just a real boost to my energy levels and my mood.
