Shout Outs to My Service Industry Peeps...

Alright...I may not be a waitress currently. And I may not have been a "good" waitress when I was employed by a restaurant employer [Ruby Tuesdays] [when I was maybe 18] [and I only worked there because I couldn't handle another season of working at the YMCA]. However, let me just use my time here to say- DAMN waiting tables is hard work. I have a hard time getting everything I need for my own dinner, let alone 8 other tables with ridiculous orders...and a mad dad.

Well, that's really all I have to say about that. I mean- I have plenty more to SAY, however- nothing too original.

I'd like to put in a request that friends send me 1 minute videos with updates on their current lives. I'd just like a 60 second clip of where you are - whether you're driving or cooking - and what you're up to. Video blog format. (what else?) and of course, let me know what you're creating right now. Whether it's a fight in a grocery store parking lot or giving a stranger a hug.

ENough of my fragmented sentences and incomplete thoughts.

Friday nights are meant to be enjoyed..........

Top ten Things to Remind me that LIFE DOESN'T Suck

You know what? Everyone is wrong. Life is actually pretty cool. Today, for instance, this chick at the DMV was all like "Don't worry if they don't accept a copy of your Birth Certificate. Atleast you're up off the couch, doin' somethin'"

I looked at her while she was speaking to her [assumed] brother, and said, "Can I put you in my pocket and carry you around with me?"

...I mean, was that too forward? Do you think it was a little much, a little early? Who cares, she didn't have time to over analyze my appropriateness. Which brings me to my number 10 reason life doesn't suck:

10- People's reactions to off the wall comments in public are worth about $37.00/unit.

Pezzi and I were at the gas station getting gas to carry back to the boat that broke down in the canal ...I'll come to that another time.
PEZZI: "So, what are y'alls plans for tonight?"
RANDOM DUDE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PUMP, (without any hesitation): AWWW, man....not to much, probably just going to hang out with some friends.

Classic moment in the series of "Great things complete strangers say....

Oh? What? Number 9-1 reason?

...What, do I look like David Letterman? I have other things to do. SEE YOUUUU!

Productivity at its Finest...

Today is Wednesday, January 25, 2012. It's also "The day the boat comes off the trailer, Babe!" as Seth just announced to me. Oh fantastic- we get to remove all the fittings to the boat because it's a great idea to paint it. TOP AND BOTTOM. "But, Lauren, the boat looks good, the paint is fine"....I hear that a lot. However, that doesn't mean we can't have a Daniel Family Boat Project. We do love doing those.

But that's not what I came here to talk about. I'd like to articulate "aloud" what I've been thinking in my head. I've always wanted to start a business, but my problem is actually making it happen. I'd like to generate my own revenue. I'd also like to write my own book. Blahhhh, but today I just managed to go to the DMV and then to the bank, which, honestly, is more than I expected to come from this day.

Great, another blog post with no point, no moral, and no life lesson. I'll just add that to my list of "almost there" objectives that I've created.
