Whilst waiting for a delivery.

Whilst waiting for a delivery today I thought I'd get a few jobs done around the house. Defrosting the fridge went well. I cleaned the oven, got it all nice and sparkly. Then I thought I'd cook some chicken ready for tonight's meal. I put it in the oven, switched it on and then my son came out into the kitchen to tell me the electricity had suddenly gone off. I turned off the oven whilst he flicked a few switches, the electric came back on so I put the oven back on and guess what---the electric went off again. That's when we figured out that the oven was the problem. The rest of the cooker is fine. Any way I get my microwave manual out to see if it's ok to cook chicken in there. It is. Now this is the first time I've cooked chicken in the microwave----I burnt the chicken.frustrated laugh Think we'll eat out tonight. Have a good day everyone.teddybear heart wings bouquet

One of those things

In one of my first blogs I mentioned that I had asked this guy if he was single and when he replied he was if he'd like to meet me for a coffee. He very nicely turned me down. Well this morning I happened to be talking to a colleague of his who has been a friend of mine for 3 years. I happened to mention this and he asked me to describe the guy to him---so I did. He smiled and told me the reason the guy turned me down was because he's gay. He also said the guy would have seen what I did as a compliment because this guy has low self esteem and what I did would have boosted his confidence. At least some good has come out this and my own self esteem has been boosted knowing that the reason for being turned down wasn't anything personal. I still like this guy but now as a friend rather than in terms of a relationship.

One of Those days

I woke up with a headache yesterday and from that moment on things seemed to go wrong. Through trying to get rid of the headache without taking pills i.e relaxing by playing a game of solitaire which is usually enough to get rid of the headaches to fussing the cats. I forgot to check the schedule and ended up 30 minutes late for work. Luckily the manager was understanding as it's the first time in 10 years that I've done this. I ended up taking a pill in the end. Then a colleague didn't show up for work which left my other colleague and myself in restaurant full of people sitting down at tables before we had a chance to clear them. Then I joined another site and didn't realise that I had missed the bit where it asks about what country you're from until a member of this site pointed it out to medoh During the night the cats decided to chase a spider and in the process knocked over a plant which sent the compost flying everywhere. Oh well one of those days rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing laugh laugh On days like these I go with the flow and know that the next day will be better. Have a good day everyone.teddybear bouquet dancing banana

Countryside and Seaside.

I'm fortunate enough to live where there is countryside on one side of me and seaside on the other side of me. I have the choice of where I walk. I can find peace in both places and from time to time see sun rises and sun sets. Isn't it funny how when I was younger I never appreciated the beauty of my surroundings like I do now. We sure do change as we get older. Enjoy your evening everyone.

Thought I'd share this

A friend on facebook posted this joke. It made me laugh so I thought I'd share it with you.

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge Heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.

Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral...I'm a gynecologist".

The proctologist fainted.

My first over night shift.

Well it turns out the special event that the restaurant was going to stay open for got cancelled. So since we didn't have that many customers the restaurant closed at it's normal time and the manager decided to pull out all the furniture and do a deep clean. It was fun. There was some furniture that I and a few others thought was screwed to the floor but all it needed was a couple of strong young men to lift it and we were able to clean under it. By the time the girl who took over from me came in it was nearly all done. I didn't start to feel tired until I was waiting for the bus home. I've had a good sleep and now have two days off. My next 5 shifts are early starts. One thing I did notice is that the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed on an overnight than a day shift. I've put this down to the fact that during the day we are very busy with queues nearly out of the door most of the time. At night they only basically get an hour or so of queues out of the door after that it's people who come out of the pub after the pubs have closed their doors for the night and those who leave the casino next door to the restaurant, very few people. A new experience I enjoyed.dancing laugh banana yay

New Experience

Tonight I'm going to experience something new in regards to my job. I'm doing my first over night shift. There is a special event going on in the area where the restaurant is so the opening hours have been extended for it. I'm looking forward to it. I've been warned that my sleeping patterns will be messed up but since after tonight I have the next two days off I'm not too worried about that. I'll let you all know how it went tomorrow. Have a good day everyone.head banger dancing banana laugh

Natural to Women

I was talking to a customer today about children. She mentioned that her daughter aged 3 years preferred shopping to going to the park and I jokingly said that she obviously likes spending money to which the customer replied as she left---'Yes it comes natural to us women.' Must admit retail therapy is great from time to time especially when I pick up a bargain or two.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Busy week

Well I've had a busy week work wise and now have 2 days off. Last Thursday I went into work to do my mid-day to 9 pm shift and was asked to go home again and then come back to do a 4.30 to 2 am shift. As it turned out I'm glad this happened otherwise I would have missed a phone call. My daughter phoned me to let me know that she had been admitted to hospital. She had had an ectopic pregnancy and had to stay in hospital for a couple of days. She phoned again last night and is now out of hospital and resting. Her husband is taking good care of her. She is coming back to this country next month so I will be able to see her. I am so looking forward to seeing her again. What happened to her certainly puts things in perspective. There are more important things in life than material goods. I was lucky with my pregnancies with my 2 children. I count my blessings that I have them. Yes work is hard but my family are more important to me than my job. At the end of the day you will always have family, jobs will come and go.

Patience.

You know if there's one thing I've learned in recent months it's to be patient. I'm not exactly known for my patience. In the past I've rushed into relationships purely out of loneliness and quite naturally they never worked because I went into those relationships for the wrong reasons. May be it's because I'm older and wiser or because of those experiences I've decided let's be patient and enjoy being single. Put myself in situations where I'll meet people, make new friends and when the time is right that special someone will come into my life. I will also trust my instincts more than I've done in the past. By not trusting my instincts in the past I've got myself into some unpleasant situations. By doing this I feel more content and a whole lot happier in myself. Life is good.cheering banana head banger laugh
