Say What?

I’ve always ‘collected’ quotes.  Anytime I heard or read something funny or poignant, something that moved me in some way I would jot it down somewhere.  So every Monday I’m going to post some quotes that I’ve loved over the years.

When I worked at Cucina! Cucina! (Macaroni Grill before there was Macaroni Grill) we had to have some sort of neckwear that ‘told a story’ about us.  It was the lamest thing ever.  Think Joanna and her 37 pieces of flair in Office Space.  Yeah, lame.  So I wrote out a bunch of quotes on index cards, strung them through some ribbon and wore that around my neck.  That lasted awhile until I finally gave up and walked around with a tiny bottle of vodka instead.  Hey, they were refillable.

So here’s my Cucina flair.
