DONT BE A POS

I like to say to not judge other people. But I will judge you so hard if you treat the server/hostesses/busboy at a restaurant horrible. No matter how bad a waiter they are.. if you are going to let the wrong type of mayo on your sandwich to lead to an outrage in your soul and make that server feel like shit because on top of the 13 other things going on through their head from the other 5 tables, that are just as needy as you, they forgot you wanted LIGHT mayo!!!! 

I was out with a friend one time and we were enjoying our meal. She got her food that she wanted and I got mine. The server was charismatic and nice. But he forgot her extra sauce.. The friend I was with was very upset and didn't tip because of that. BECAUSE SHE HAD TO ASK AGAIN FOR EXTRA SAUCE  like what? still baffled by this. This says too much about your character when you are rude to people who are literally serving you. 

My parents have always tipped no matter the situation, from my knowledge. And I think that's the way it should be. If your food is cold, there is a 95% chance its not your waiter's fault.. if your steak is cooked wrong.. 90% chance its not the waiter's fault. you literally have someone assigned to taking care of you. While you sit there and enjoy your time and food, your server is off doing a billion and one things. I understand people go out to be catered because yes they don't wanna cook, right there with ya. And good service is something you want when you go out and want your food the right way. Switch the roles though, youre in your office job, you make a mistake that your boss yells at you for because you were suppose to do your job right. its a sucky feeling. So while that server is doing everything for you and the other 5 tables, they are doing it with a smile.

I've dabbled in the serving business and I swear it was the best job I had. Miss it a lot! But man did some days when I got off and hopped in my car boy did I wanna cry. Its brutal on you and i don't mean the physical way, even though my right bicep is bigger than my left from lifting trays of food. Or the physical aspect of balancing 10 glasses of water when you also have to run to go get the 3 beers from the bar to your other table. Or the miles you'd walked that whole shift. One time in 5 hours I took 15,000 steps. Its the mind games you have to play. Remember when you were young and you'd look at a list for lets say 30 seconds and then the list was covered and you were suppose to write down everything you remembered. its like that with serving. one table will ask for their check, another needs to put in a togo order, the table of 13 people all want separate checks but, one table needs another bowl because they don't wanna share out the same bowl for a salad, and then you have a table that's not in your section flagging you down because they need more napkins. that's front of house stuff. And all at the same time in the back of house, your a cook down, someone just dropped their tray of glasses on the floor, you have dirty dishes piling up, no one is running food because everyone is busy. Again all with a smile though. 

One time I was grabbing my trays of ribs for my table and its was Friday night at 7 pm, so its busy you imagine. I pick up my tray of ribs and turned in a hurry, shouted "corner!!" and before I knew it my ribs that were on the plates.. flew off the tray.. I literally mean flew.. they flew into the crowd of people waiting to be sat. BBQ sauce everywhere... People who haven't even been sat yet got ribs threw at them by yours truly and my table had to wait an extra 15 minutes for the new set of ribs. Having to explain that one to the table was a hoot. 

One more thing for me to ramble about and me being judgey, couples that sit on the same side of a booth when there is nobody else on the other side. I understand when your double dating or whatever. But if you are going to cuddle each other and grope one another while i'm trying to take your order you bet your ass im sitting down on the other side of the booth to make us all feel uncomfortable. The couples that are cool with it are my kind of people, and honestly hadn't had anyone tell me to get up yet, better to ask for forgiveness then permission right? 

To wrap up my thoughts:
1. Always be nice to your wait staff at any food joint  
2. Tip always, 20% 
3. Don't be that couple that sits on the same side of a booth

awful grammer

When I was a young little lad I was the sassiest girl with always the dresses and plastic high heel shoes.  As the years come rolling I like the simple things more. I've never been one to want to have a huge house with a 7 car garage with a pool house. (wouldn't complain though) I've never been the one to want to wear designer clothes. I've never been one to want an expensive ass car. Never been the one to want to go a fancy restaurant for a date. more of Texas Roadhouse girl. But I do enjoy a fire with good music playing in the back yard. I do enjoy walking around a new place and seeing where the street takes me. I do also enjoy a a good sunset and feeling nostalgic on the day. 

Do not get me wrong. I do love spoiling myself and others. Going to a nice restaurant for someones birthday, i'm all in. I just see the world as a more simple lifestyle. I have loved living in the city. The mix of people. The multi different types of restaurants that crowd the streets, every one different from the next. Everyone is hustlin and bustlin and trying to get to the top and be the best of the best. HELL YEAH! Keeps me motivated. The Goodwills with $400 jackets for $10. The different neighborhoods of the city going from Little Italy to the biggest Chinatown in America to Union Square with designer stores then the Mission with all the best mexican food. Constantly being able to see the water because of all the damn hills. 

But this past week I wanted to drive. not drive from point a to b, because in the city its a bitch getting around. But keep driving and then i decided to make a road trip down more south. When I go on trips like this I usually stop and go and like to get lost. I was going down back roads and saw a part of California where it reminded of being back home. I don't mean home like Utah or South Carolina, I mean home like a place where its more slower paced. When you walk by someone on the street you say hello. A lot of dirt roads. Simple things.

I'm typing this in works it sheds some light on me. I had a few confused individuals ask why I use google? Why not WordPress or? Because this is simple. Google blogger is a simple website I can get some of my thoughts out with my horrible grammar. You might have thought reading my other blogs is this girl really this illiterate or what? It’s casual writing. It’s me. You might have noticed in the title i spelled grammar wrong. And I bet I'll have at least four people message me and tell me before they read my post. Jokes on yall. Can I somehow insert an eye rolling emoji?. 

I'm not a serious person and very casual, hence the simple things. This blog is show who I am. I am someone who is awful at spelling and can't speak right to save my life. When I was in elementary school I did have to attend speech therapy. While the other kids had nap time I had to get on a short bus, go to a different school and there I would have my lessons. That is who I am. My vocabulary is bad. I stutter way too often. I talk too fast. And no, you are right, its not a good thing. Online we try to show our best selves. Post only the good photos and "living our best lives".  Guilty as crap for this. But my blog is suppose to be raw, me, no filter. 

Short story: i use google because I'm simple and the grammar is bad in my blog because my grammar in real life is awful. GO WITH ITTTTTT

The Songs I Try To Sing To

I have a passion for music, like the rest of my generation and the generations before. I enjoy seeing peoples music taste and exploring new music. Many look forward to Friday because they are going out on the town, I'm home listening to New Music Friday on Spotify. And to the people that are wrong, Spotify is better than Apple Music any day. Music has the control to change any situation, any mood you are in. Its powerful! I'm not good at making playlist and choosing just one genre.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITES 
1. "This One's For You" Luke Combs: my all time favorite song.
2. "Closer" The Chainsmokers: always a banger, and if you don't agree, you're lying. 
3. "Picture" Kid Rock Ft. Sheryl Crow: one of those songs that you've know since you were little and has been one of my favorite duet songs. 
4. "Shut Up and Dance" Walk The Moon: I don't know how you can be sad when you're listening to this song.
5. "Don't Take The Money" Bleachers: tbh any song by the Bleachers is gold.
