Food and thoughts

I have added sitemeter to my blog! It was not that hard, but I still had a moment of frustration because I was trying to imitate Grumpator and my meter is located on a different part of my page. I felt tech smart for that moment when I saw the logo. I really just need to have more patience with computers.

I work in a restaurant. I have access to free soda and fatty foods. I also get up really early and rarely eat something right away. This has lead to my pants just being a bit tight... today. I only drank the soda for a little bit. My bane lately is hot chocolate. I have been drinking that every other day. Today was a big food day. I ate a great meal with family which included the bro and grandparents (just arrived from out of town). My enjoyment of fruit has been growing so my plate was mostly fruit salad and plain salad, but I do love salad dressing. I had a bit of potato, some corn beef, and cabbage. There was apparently a deal on corn beef. My mother is very excited. I then went to a work party where I had pizza, a potato skin, and a tiny Dr. Pepper. I then had some delicious cake and cheese. Yummmm, cheese. Delicious fatty cheese. I had feta cheese on my salad as well.

I work in a restaurant. I do not believe I will ever be a server again. I sometimes enjoy the work but I'm starting to get that feeling of dreading even thinking of work because I get so down and disappointed. I also feel that serving is boring and I'm just done with it. I still might be a delivery driver in the future because it is usually only a few hours at a time. The best is the independence. Driving all by yourself and only having to deal with co-workers and management in small chunks.

On to funnier times, there was a geek mixer at Changing Hands Bookstore. It was interesting and a bit awkward. I truly got the picture that geeks are not usually good looking or socially skilled. I left during the trivia part. It started out with a guy auction that did not do that well. There was awkward mingling and then Love connection. There were two different girls and two different "games". I feel just a tad bad for bachelor #1 because the announcer always went to him first. This gives #3 much more time to think of a response, and now that I think back, #3 won both time. The organizers should have remembered the old show and mixed it up. Number 1, 3, then 2, and then craziness. After I left, there was a girl auction which I wish I had been part of. The reason I even know about the girl auction is that the one gentleman I bid on found me on Facebook. This could be interesting but he is very young.

I cannot write about my Mangrid too much here because I realized that this a public blog connected to my Facebook account and searchable with my handle. So... details will have to be told in person but my gird is up to 1.5 guys. I do not know if I have time for a full four.

I was just pondering the difference of my blogs with some of the others I read. My blog is always about my personal life and what I'm thinking. Others are much better about putting information out there that is useful and not seemingly directly connected to them. It is. They would not blog about something they do not find interesting, but their use of I is much less. I might try to write in the style once in a while, but this is my style. I do not find it wrong. Just interesting to note and think about the differences.

Oh, my writing has not been going well this week. I like the idea of being a writer but do not know if I have enough self discipline to work at home. I plan on entering a writing contest. No plans on winning but if I do want to be a writer, I need to start getting used to rejection. Hmmm, maybe dating a lot will also help out.

I've struggled for years to find my "blog voice" - determining what I wanted to write about, where my comfort levels are, where my husband's comfort levels are (which is a big factor), etc. Not to mention knowing my audience. These all factor in to whatever I decide to write. As long as you're comfortable with the amount you're sharing, we are too!
