so..the past few weeks have been anything but great. but, there are always a few things to make life seem a little better, and hope for the future. But since no one likes a pity party, im going to focus on the positive!
My little brother and his friend (my adopted brother,) Isa flew in on saturday. Lins and i picked them up. I had been emotional before, crying and such, venting to my sister. But when i saw him my heart felt so happy for the first time in a while. My mom flew in today, and i cant wait to see her. I miss my family more than anything! I wish my daddy could have come...but hes got to work and i will see him in june anyway. Cant wait to spend time with them. I need it.
Today was so amazing. The weather was phenomenal, and i spent the day with ashpat12 and heavierhpf. (Twitter lingo for ashlee and heather.) We got noodles and company, then went to the park behind walmart. It was so fantastic. We layed and watched this retard family play stupid games. Ashlee was so intent on teaching them the rules of their own game. I love to stare at people and make them feel uncomfortable..pretty much it was a success. then we jammed out to Salt-n-peppa, which is always a booster. We dropped heavier off and pumped LFO and sang at the top of our lungs. Nothing like a "so bad its good" song, a little sunshine, good friends, and fond memories to make you feel happy.
Today was great. Everyday gets a little easier, although there is still so much to figure out.
Hopin he calls.

Different types of people (a servers nightmare)
Anyone who is a server at a resturaunt cannot say they dont judge. As soon as a table walks in, gaurenteed they decide which category you fit in, and then your level of service is decided from there...You are either:
The big spender: Your probably on your first date, or your trying to impress someone. If your going to order a ton of food, make sure you have the money for it..AND for a tip. When you get the bill you play it off like you have enough, but dont hand over your just-enough dollar bills and tell me to keep your change. Thanks for the 92 cents.
The family: You and your family come in for a nice dinner. You allow your kids to get water, you joke with your waitress about how no one tips in provo, order a large pizza for all 14 of your kids, and even though you mentioned poor tips in provo, you still fail to tip. Last I heard, its not 10 years ago, and a good tip isnt 10%.
The old people: This can go either way. If its two women out to eat, your screwed. Their small salad bars and water with lemon garuntees about a 1.00 tip. If its two men, it might go up to 2.00. If its a couple, and the man hands you the card your safe. If its the wife who is "budgeting" you're better off serving a squirrel.
The daters: Often this could go with the big spender--your tip goes up with age. Provo guys tend to try to impress their date, BUT she's not impressed and neither am I if you leave me 15%. Its better than nothing, but what will it hurt you to help out the poor starving college student serving you?
The Lunch crew: Lunch specials are stupid. We all know it. But if your table starts complaining about the high prices, you can always suggest easy mac or store bought pizza. No matter how much you complain the prices stay the same and your service will probably come down. But then you have the regulars---you know their order and they love it. They will usually tip well.
The normal: You cant decide whether they will be easy or not. So you give them great service. IT either pays off and you'll remember their face for the next time they come in-whether its becuase you warn all other servers about how much they suck, or that they are lucky.
The loner: You try to be as nice as possible, becuase they are alone in a resturaunt. Sit and have a great meal, but if you sit and do your crosswords, sudoku, or read the paper for hours on end, i will kill you. I dont live at the joint and i dont want to stay while you figure out what the extension of a right angle is for 6 down. I dont care, and no one will check your puzzle anyway.
Anyway, im sure i missed some. But just know your being judged.:)
