ALIVE

Alive.
Just been a bit busy this week.
Expect a full update (i.e. MULTIPLE POSTS) tomorrow late afternoon.
Why late afternoon, you ask?
Well I'm going tubing down the chata-somthing tomorrow with a handful of people from the Bistro.

Have a happy rest of the weekend everyone!

Blog at 'cha tomorrow!!!!

I'M ALIVE, I SWEAR

Hi all!

Sorry for the lack of posting on the blog, and for the lack of updates on the twitter. The last week has been pretty crazy.
First the internet went out at the house--between that and my crazy ass new work schedule I've been very limited on my internet usage.
BUT NOW the world is right again and all has been restored to its proper place... i.e. we have internet again and I no longer need to visit the library to check my email :)
Work has been pretty crazy. I'm on my break right now so I'm going to sum it all up in a few quick sentences:
Friday night I bartended. Friday night was CRAZY! The restaurant hosted a special charity event--I created a drink--it was chosen as the special drink of the night! (HOLLAR!)
Saturday night I ran the bar ALL BY MYSELF! (yay--I'm a big girl bartender now, lol) (but I got stuck a few times and had some help).
This week I am working doubles everyday.
I send out my grad/law school applications this week--if not on Tuesday of next week (just due to my crazy work schedule).
Ummm--what else?!
Oh! Expect more posts in the next week--hopefully. I made a few more deserts for the family that received rave reviews. And I've fallen in love with Peach-tinis :)
The End, for now...
I've got to get back to work for the dinner crowd!

EAT THE FOOD TINA!

So Saturday began like any other Saturday.

I woke up.

But this time I woke up in a bed--as opposed to the floor that I had been sleeping on since I moved to Georgia! I'm a big girl now! I've got a bed! Woo!

Following the somewhat uneventful wake up, I headed to the pool in the golf cart with Bonnie and the kiddies. Lucky and Nicole met us later. Around 3 o'clock I left the pool, got home, checked my voice mail and lo and be hold I had a missed call from a job!

Woop!

Good new: JOB -- Bad news: They wanted me in last minute at 5 to help them out.

Well I wasn't going to say no.

So I rushed like a mad woman, showered off my sunscreen and chlorine, did my hair and drove to the outlets to pick up clothes for work. On my way I called Banana Republic and asked if they could pull all black pants and shirts in my size. As soon as I walked in the girl at the counter asked if I was me... she could probably tell by the frantic-crazed-sweaty look on my face!

I was literally in and out of the store in 15 minutes with a new uniform for my new job. I had the BEST customer service experience of my life. It was so good that I went back today to tell the girls manager. She seemed proud. I hope the girl gets a raise or point or a better employee discount or something.

Getting back to the point:

I busted my butt at the new job, a restaurant obviously (black on black uniform), and honestly had a good time. I never realized how much I missed the crazy fast paced environment of a restaurant.

I go back tomorrow and Wednesday for serving staff and then this weekend I go back and work in the kitchen... Not bad.

I'm still working at the tire place; I'll just go in after I get off in the day time from the restaurant--ugh it's going to be 90 tomorrow.

Eff.

Style Update

Your style is a very personal and expressive form of art. Your style should be comprised of what you want others to see, what you want to see yourself, what makes you feel amazing and what excites you every day, especially when you get dressed. So, how do you achieve such an ideal style? That's easy! Take a thorough, OBJECTIVE look at yourself. Use the following questions as a starting point. Think of it as a very personal interview! Be honest with yourself and embrace the results.

List three (3) or more words that describe your personality.

List three (3) or more words that describe you, physically.

How do you think people currently view you, physically?

How do you think people view you based on your emotions and personality?

How long have you had your current wardrobe?

Do you have a defined style?

How often do you clean out your closet and weed out old clothes?

Do you own clothes that you don’t really like or don’t ever wear?

What is your least favorite piece from your wardrobe? Why do you still own it?

Who are your fashion icons? Why?

Are there any items of clothing that you want to try to wear but haven’t tried yet? If so, what are these items? Why haven’t you tried to wear them yet?

Have you recently had a life change (gaining/losing weight, graduation, new job, marriage, kids, divorce, career change, self-exploration)?

Are you bored with your style, wardrobe or closet?

Do you have a closet full of clothes but suffer from "I-don't-have-anything-to-wear-itis?"

Your style should reflect who you are, what you want to see on yourself and what you want other people to see. After thinking about the above questions, do you have a better sense of your real style? How different is your real style from the style you currently own in your closet? Do you currently have a defined style or a mix of everything?

When should you update your style? Well, if you are asking this question, then the answer is "now!" Confidence is the key when choosing and maintaining your style and wardrobe. If you aren't 100% happy with each and every piece you own, then it is time for a change. Maybe the change entails weeding out some older clothes and adding some new items... Maybe the change involves looking at yourself and your closet differently... Whatever the change, you're in for a treat! Wouldn't you feel better about your style, yourself and your life if you were more confident and projected that attitude in your style? I thought so.

I can teach you how to organize your closet, how to define your style and how to be confident with your style and yourself.
