Exciting new things!

For once, a positive and exciting posting :)

First off....Today is Election Day! GO VOTE! Vote for whomever, but if you don't vote, you don't have a right to bitch!

Lots of new things have been going on in the past couple of weeks, which keeps my life slightly exciting...or at least interesting for the most part.

First, I just moved into my new apt. Albeit that it is only a couple buildings down from my old one, my current apartment is much more cozy! My room is slightly smaller (I think because the ceilings are lower), but at least now my bathroom is attached to my room. Only time I actually have to leave my room is to eat - and we all know I love to eat! Foodie at heart - what else can I say?

Second, I got a new job. Yes, yes - I know I said this back in August that I had a new job, but now I have another one. This job is much closer (i.e. 5 minutes down the road) and it will not be so physically demanding. Don't get me wrong! I LOVE being in the kitchen, but I think I would be more happy working the line in a restaurant making and plating desserts versus working in a store where they make only one product. Yes, they do make many variations of their product, but it is still one product in my eyes. So in other words, I'll be trying my hand at FOH - I have already started training myself on using other words, in place of profanity!

Downside to this new job is that they are still in the construction phase and start date got pushed to the 12th of December - more than a month after my initial start date. Apparently, they are six weeks behind schedule in construction. It's all good though because the finished space is going to be AMAZING! I will be working in a restaurant that will be two floors, thousands of square feet and it was just be absolutely gorgeous - as far as the plans I have been fortunate to see :) Due to the push in starting date, I am actually going back to my old job for the next month. I could say that I could go for a month without working, but HELL NO! Not with the holidays a comin' and bills a girl has got to pay! It is probably good I am going back for a bit cause I know they have been in a slump and they could use the extra help in the kitchen.

Everything else in my life is going alright. I really cannot complain - I think I would say I am actually content with my life. Although there may be some aspects of it that are lacking, I am getting through it....I just have my moments where I fill in those lacking aspects by indulging in a pack of Oreos or that sinful Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbucks - mmm.... BUT at least I can say that I have lost weight :) I dropped below a certain number I didn't think was possible. I just hope I can continue, or at least maintain...and during the holidays, that will be so hard!

I better stop procrastinating now and finish this spreadsheet I am working on, BUT I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween Weekend! I spent mine back in Jacksonville with the family and some friends. I threw on my butterfly wings from a previous Halloween, handed candy out and carved pumpkins - I call that my cup of tea :)





















































Until next time!
