Day 120: "I Quit Dis Bitch"

So I quit working at the restaurant because the taxes are outrageous but I went in tonight which was my usual night, to get dinner and my last check. The owner was in and we had a nice chat. There are no hard feelings because he's really nice and he knows I worked hard and loved that place and I liked who I worked with and enjoyed my job but I can't afford to pay half my year's wages in taxes just because it's a second job. Anyway, they didn't have a cashier so when they needed help I stepped in and helped here and there out of the goodness of my heart because I won't sit there and watch them struggle when I am right there and can help. I didn't clock in or anything I just wanted to help. I had pizza and 2 beers and the owner comped them I assume because I was working lol. He's a nice guy.

Omission. Good stuff.

Day 60: A Successful Day!

Went for my bridal gown trials today and wasn't expecting to find my dress today in one go at one store in less than 15 minutes but I did. My bridal consultant couldn't have been better I am so pleased with her and this appointment. I was incredibly stressed out about this whole dress thing for months. I figured it'd cost a fortune, they wouldn't have anything I liked, etc etc but the first dress reassured me. In fact I thought the first dress would be THE ONE it was absolutely gorgeous but I decided on something more subtle and more "me". A Dress I fell in love with multiple times unknowingly on the internet, magazines and here by a sheer coincidence on me. I can't post pictures of it here because I don't want to spoil it before my wedding but it's GORGEOUS and it was WAY under budget! I am so happy! My future mother-in-law was there and my cousin, the only person missing was my sister but I really wasn't planning on actually getting a dress today and didn't think it'd be fair to ask her to drive all this way just for shits and giggles. I was going to get serious in VA,MD,DC so now I'm bummed she wasn't there for that initial trial but I can't dwell on it too much, it's done with now. Me, Greg, and my cousin went out for celebratory drinks which was super fun, I love hanging out with Nichole, I don't get to see her much. After she went home we went over to Mark and Sandra's house so we could go out to dinner. I was incredibly tired by then so I felt bad I didn't have much energy left in me but I always love seeing them!

Day 45: Christmas Prepping

Every year we have a Christmas Dinner with friends to celebrate the year and to give us all an excuse to hang out and see our friends, especially the ones we don't see often enough. Greg got in to town early and we went grocery shopping then helped tabby with her goodies for the shin dig.

In the process of it all, of course we get out some drinks and carried on until midnight or so then hit the hay.

Day 43: IPA's

Bringing IPA's to the restaurant now.
