Here goes!
1. I have no marketable skills. Mostly I was a really good waitress. I could handle any number of tables you threw at me, all at once or in spurts. Seriously. A lot of tables. And I made really good money, was hardly ever stiffed. Which is really surprising because I was not a smiley, cheery waitress. Especially when it came to cocktail hour. Then I was just a bitch and people ate it up and tipped me even more. I fell into a corporate job when I decided I needed to grow up and get out of the restaurant business before I died of alcohol poisoning (no that isn’t an exaggeration). There really is no way in hell I’ll be able to repeat that ‘getting a corporate job’ business.
2. I really miss waiting tables sometimes. Mostly, I miss the people I got to know when I was waiting tables at The Brit. I had some of the best times there, both on and off work. The greatest people came in there when I worked there. I had the best regulars who after awhile I didn’t even call them ‘regulars’ they were just my friends.
3. I used to dance Hawaiian, Tahitian & Polynesian. I have some trophies and ribbons from competitions. My sister and I would go to our lessons at ‘Auntie Gerry’s’ house in this little enclosed patio she had. She taught us a lot and she was fantastic. I don’t remember why I stopped, but sometimes I think I should start up again. Then I remember the costumes and my giant belly and think it’s best not to subject people to that horror.
4. I was a Girl Scout from 1st grade all the way though to my senior year in high school. Then I was a girl scout leader for a couple of years afterwards. I LOVED Girl Scouts, still do. I think Girl Scouts had a huge reason why I am the person I am today. I’m hoping Emma will love it as much as I did.
5. I love me some video games. I haven’t played them very much recently because I’ve been reading so much, but I love ‘em. Especially Mario and Zelda or hack and slash games. Games like Halo and Call of Duty stress me out too much. I’m always afraid of walking around a corner & getting shot or someone sneaking up behind me. Plus I suck at controlling my characters in those games. Too many things to do.
6. I still have my ‘blankie’ and sleep with it every night!
7. I love to go camping, but haven’t been in years. Years and years. I have the greatest memories of camping with Girl Scouts, with friends and family. I love camping food, sleeping on the ground, the smell of the campfire, I love everything about it. Well, except maybe porta-potties.
So there it is people! And here’s the bloggers I’m tagging! Just 10 for me!

No marketable skills but you can handle a restaurant full of customers? Girl, that's multi-tasking, customer-service, order-entry, quality-control. Businesses love people like you! You're totally Marketable!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you come to Kentucky this summer, I'll take you camping. I love camping and i can't wait for the weather to be warm enough.
You're awesome, Notie!
Don't worry, hate here haha! I'm impressed with your waitressing love; I'd probably end up dumping someone's plate on them accidentally on purpose. I also love hyperbole and a half - it's my very favourite blog!
ReplyDeleteYours is pretty snazzy too and I'm a new follower :)
