Window MIStreatments.



Okay.. so theres this little phenomenon known as the nester who I secretly admire from afar, because well shes amazing. If I knew how to link her, I would. Or will, we'll see.. Would,Will,We'll say that 10 times fast.



Anyways. She does this freakishly so unperfect its perfect thing to her windows she calls mistreatments. And, guess who tried it. This girl. I might say, I think I rocked it with an A+.





This is my boring hallway with what used to be a bare wall with dusty ol' blinds. And, well I had this fabric laying (lying?) around.. (ie. went out of my way and searched and searched at joanne fabric for 1000.00ish a yard fabric) look what I did with it though! Just admire. Are you? Good.


Tack and fold, tack and fold. How freaking easy is that? I know! And, no it's not perfect, it's too long on one side. Too poofy on the other. But you know what- neither am I. I couldn't count the flaws. But don't care right now..Luh-ve it!


This is my bathroom window which is halfway into my tub/shower. I didn't want to buy something when ta-da I can make it! So, no sewing for this lazy chick. I used safety pins! each side I folded, pined. Then for the two middle parts I sintched, folded, sintched folded- Still with me? Then pin! I then GLUED, yep glued. The ribbon down the middle and glued a sepereate bow to each side. Nailed the top up with upholstery tacks and voila! Grogeous. To me atleast.

Did you enjoy? I enjoyed showing you. My one viewer out there. I see you!

Lets talk about groceries bay bay.


Just recently I got into the art of couponing. And, it's a new obsession. Tonight I rocked out like none before me.
I went to walmart (yes, eek!) with something like 30 or so kick ass coup's. Marched my butt to the register which rang up to 135.55 and PROUDLY handed her my stack.

27.2 hours later after scanning each one of them, my total came to be, after taxes 34.04 good right? Hellz yeah its good!

Wouldn't it be nice to shop for someone as a job? And, say you pay me HALF of what I save you? I coulda just made 50.75 for something I already love to do! Oh, how fun it is to dream. If you hear of a job like that, hit a girl up okaythnx!

Tea party anyone?

My biggest Love Bug wants to have a tea party! She even set everything out right, and filled the cups with water. The bowls for the sugar have water in them too. The plates have drops of water on them also, basically its a tea party with no food or tea just water. She's amazing. She also just has on jean shorts and snow boots. Love her style.

Work was long, long long long. Where I work theres two temperatures. Antartica or the sun. (Because the suns hot, haha, I know right?) Anyways today was about 140ish degrees. Sometimes I wonder if my boss thinks when I die I'm going to hell and he wants me to get ready for the heat. Or, my other thought is, maybe he thinks the heat will make me sweat more and loose more weight. No one wants a sweaty waitress though do they? Didn't think so. So, with the crazy temperatures and people requesting a hamburger with 4 extra plates so everyone at the table could have a bite (How does that even work, eating just a 1/4 of a burger? How does that fill you up? HOW exactly?) It was one of the worst. But, I will add. I had a kick ass chicken stir fry for lunch, that always makes me smile.

I might try and cook tonight- our oven doesnt work right now but I could manage with the stove. I'm thinking stuffed french toast, wont do a darn good for my diet but it tastes so good!

Have fun being fabulous all!

The three catagories

When it comes to customers who go out to eat, they can be put into 3 different catagories. (Theres sub-catagories too but we wont go into that.)



The old folks- Either overly nice (love them!), or horribly grumpy. Usually still tip like its the 50's. Many a time I've heard "Oh just leave a dollar, you know they get paid by the hour too!" You are right young sir, I get paid a whopping 2.65 a hour! Thank you! Like their coffee scaulding hot, soup steaming and hate when its under 68.2 degrees in the restaraunt.



The non tippers- Sometimes this group can trick you. They can seem very nice, chatty, interested in you and BAM theres nothing on the table. However this is a select few that do this. Most of the time, the non tippers want E-V-E-R-Y thing for free. They will also be sure to ask you EXACTLY how much things cost and how much it is to add something. Of course getting angry when there is a charge, obviously because it's the waitresses fault, management has nothing to do with it. Just for the record, if the extra 50 cents to add some mushrooms to your steak, is going to make or break you- Pretty sure you shouldn't be going out to eat. And, those 50 cents are the LEAST of your problems!



The big tippers- these are the BEST, not just because they know how to tip, but because they're the most fun. They like to have a good time, make jokes, laugh at your jokes- no matter how corny. I like to get corny with my tables, sometimes I do a jig for them too if I really like them ;-). They appretiate you and your service. You get the "please AND the thank you". I can't say enough good things about this group. I just want to snuggle them up and say thank you thank you! You rock my socks.

Now, I realize my "Non tipper" catagory is the biggest, and a lot of this post has to do with money. Basically thats because I had a bad day. And, Yes I chose this job knowing very well that I could make 20.00 or 200.00 a day, and it all changes. So, I'm okay with that. I'm just not okay with people who are mean twords their waitstaff and think that they don't deserve a little extra something just to say, thanks, you really made my dinner enjoyable. What really errrrks me (yes errrks) is when a table says to me, SAYS TO ME. "Sorry I can't tip you today, the economy is bad!" Your right, the economy is bad, and your making it worse for me by not leaving a measly couple of bucks. However I hoped you enjoyed your 14.95 Ribeye, 9.45 Orange roughy, two drinks and desert. And, may God only hope I don't get you next time. Because I might forget your refills.

Sorry for the whinefest, but c'mon now. Give a girl a break!
