Upside of a snow day

What makes for a good snow day:
1. Experimenting in the kitchen
2. Catching up on laundry
3. Being cozy-ed up on the couch with a cup of hot (coffee/cocoa/tea) and watching the snow fall
4. Family time!
5. Dance party (even if you have to go solo)
6. Playing piano for the first time in soooooo long
7. Dusting off that guitar too!
8. Catching up with people with whom you've lost touch

  • be Belle than Cinderella
  • have a rock in my shoe than ants in my pants
  • eat breakfast for dinner than dinner for breakfast
  • go skydiving than bungee jumping
  • estar sola que mal acompaƱada
  • see a girl in a miniskirt with ugg boots than a guy in dark slacks with dark shoes and white socks (ew.)
  • get flowers than chocolates
  • receive a phone call than a text
  • go to bed late than get up early
  • meet people from the past than people from the future
  • have cold hands than cold feet
  • have an invisible cloak than a time machine
  • be a Power Ranger than a Ninja turtle
  • be friend-zoned than have to friend-zone someone (!)

10 Ways to Annoy Your Server

[This list is not exhaustive]

1. As your server is walking to the table, stare at your menu and say obnoxiously 'DIET COKE WITH LEMON' before he has a chance to say 'Welcome to this fine establishment, my name is            , what can I get for you to drink?'

2. Bring in a group of six people ten minutes before the restaurant closes.

3. Leave your number and a 'Call me' on your credit card slip and leave a shitty tip. (Important note: You will NOT get a phone call, if that really was your goal)

4. Ask if a side of sour cream costs extra. When you find out it costs 50 cents, definitely make a condescending face and say 'Nevermind...' (We know, saving it for the gumball machine at work)

5. After you see another table get a free birthday dessert with the whole staff singing a ridiculous song, tell your server it's your birthday too.

6. When your server comes by the table to ask if you need anything, say no. Then ask the next person who walks by for a refill.

7. Send your steak back because it's not well done. Then send it back because it's burnt.

8. When your server asks if she can get you anything to drink, scrunch up your nose, say 'Nah, I'll just have a water.'

9. Bring your child and all of his friend's for his 7th birthday party. Let them scream, run around the other tables, throw french fries at each other, ask for a million refills, etc. When you leave, kindly thank the server for her patience, and leave a 10% tip.

10. Tell your server that everything was fine, then go home, get online, and write a complaint to corporate about the poor service, the host who looked like he was on crack, the flamboyant manager, the food that was basically-frozen-when-it-came-out-it-was-so-cold, and the draft in the corner. Oh yeah, and the bad lighting.

One Year

A year ago I was in a pretty bad place, emotionally. I thought today would be more difficult. It's amazing how God and time work together to heal and improve the physical, emotional, and spiritual areas of our lives.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Phil 4:6
