Tipping

          I don't understand why some people go out to eat when they can't afford to tip, or for that matter afford to pay for their bill. I have been working in a restaurant for over 3 years now and I just don't understand some of these people sometimes.

          What is with the $5 tip people? I understand if your bill is under $30 but really if your bill is $80 or $100, $5 is no way to say thank you. People are so frustrating. Or the way people just tip you with their words. They say, " O great job, you were awesome tonight!" and then you get like a $3 tip??? There are also those Lovely's who leave a fat 0 tip! 

          This is just so frustrating because when i get a 0 tip it means I am paying money because the restaurant expects me to tip the people help me because they expect me to get a tip. 

          I am not taling bad service here, i'm talking about cheap people, and there are plenty of them. It is also frustrating when the restaurant I work at does not add Gratuity to large parties. WE always get a ton of large parties on the weekend 15+ people and it is usually separate checks ( a huge pain). Although you always say, "O it's no problem." Its hard and annoying to do, not to mention it takes longer. 

          There are those nice tables or large parties who will leave a fair or even generous tip which will sometimes make up for the slackers. But what I'm trying to say is if you don't have the money to tip, DONT GO OUT! It's  easy.  or order to-go. 

  

Sick and Just Sick of It!

          

          Today I am sadly home sick. Yesterday I had terrible allergies which I am now starting to think maybe I was just coming down with something. I woke up this morning feeling so heavy, stuffy, and with a huge headache. I decided to call in sick from work. I then didn't wake up until 11:00 am! Spencer has been taking care of me and now he is at work! ( so proud of him by the way). I am sick and tired of blowing my nose and feeling awful! I haven't been sick for a while and my o my this is draining on my body. It's rough when it is such a beautiful day outside to sick. :(

     Yesterday before i was 100% miserable Spencer and I had the night off together so we made dinner and had the Tatums over for Family Home Evening. Spencer made grilled buffalo steaks we bought from Whole Foods ( just for fun) and I made baked potatoes! The buffalo tasted funny to me so he made me a NY steak instead (much better). Our spiritual thought was on Conference and then we played a game show game called Buzz Quiz! It was a lot of fun. Spencer and I went to bed around 11 ( or I fell asleep around then. He usually stays awake longer).

     It was a pretty fun evening ( minus the fact that I was getting sick).

Bacon and Chocolate?

Last month Spencer and I sold a ton of homemade chocolate covered strawberries and we had some left over chocolate. I saw on a food network show that there was a candy store that sold chocolate covered bacon. It looked weird but at the same time very interesting. I wanted to try it so we used some of our extra chocolate to dip some bacon. yummm..

Sadly the flavors did NOT mix well. In case you want to know what it tastes like ill tell you: First it is sweet, smooth, and rich, followed by a Super salty bacon taste. Yuck. I was sadly disappointed. For some reason I was leaning toward really like this and honestly I am a little sad it was a flop. Maybe it wasn't us though. Maybe we just didn't have to right bacon or the right chocolate. Either way. :(

Birthday on it's way

Tomorrow is Saint Patricks day which is no big holiday for me but it does mean that 1 week from tomorrow I will be turning 22! I guess you can say I am a little excited for my Birthday but. there is no particular reason. Although I am perfectly content staying 21 for the rest of my life, but I'm sure my birthday will come whether i'm ready or not.

I dont have any plans ( at least that I know about), but I am alright with that.  Spencer and I have been very spoiled lately buying lots of really cool toys..namely

(Ordered but not here yet)

and then this summer we are going on a huge trip with the Relitz family

These are all of the reasons I don't want anything for my birthday. I am perfectly content with what I have. All I want is to have a night off with my husband, Ithink this might come true! :)

ICE CREAM!

A few weeks ago we went with some friends to Hanford. WHY Hanford?? Let me show you.

It was so huge

This sunday is called the SOS

The battle begins.

The end! Yumm

After the ice cream, We walked around the old town area and let our stomaches settle. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to Kevin and Ashley for inviting us on this fun ice cream adventure. We shall do it again. :) soon.

MAC

Last week Spencer and I bought..

I LOVE it!

Honestly I dont know how to use everything yet, but I do know the essentials.

We have been going back and forth about buying an Apple and it was mostly me telling my husband that I should get some say in the matter and this is what I wanted.  He has never really liked Apple, so this took some convincing. Now I am happy to say we are both very happy with our decision and are enjoying our new computer. We are finally using our office!

I am excited to start using the cool video features and slideshow features the MAC offers! Now I can be like my sister-in-law and make amazing home videos ( P.s You are my roll model)! I can;t wait to get started. 

Disneyland+California Adventures.

Last week Spencer and I went with his family to Disneyland and California Adventures

. It was really crowded 2 days and one day it was pouring rain so it wasn't too bad.

We got to go on all of our favorite rides

Jungle criuse

haunted mansion

Mr. Toads

Space Mtn.

Small world

Toy Story

CA screamin

Mickey's wheel

plus tons more.

We stayed for 3 days, while the other family only stayed for 2. It was so magical. Spencer and I even bought one of those turkey legs to split.

It was tasty!

What I'm trying to say is.

I miss you Disneyland! You were so good to me. 

p.s Thanks to Adam and Karen for giving us a place to stay.
