Monday

I just got the yarn for the crocheted baby blanket I am making for a friend of mine. Her baby shower is coming up quick. I am so excited for her. And, perhaps, a little jealous. I've been wanting a second child for a long time, but the timing is just horrible. At any rate, I am getting started on it right away. She's having a little boy, and while I am going with the traditional blue, I am opting for different shades. It's an ombre of dark and light blue which makes me think of the ocean. I think it'll go well with her theme: pirates. Good deal, right?
School is moving right along. Starting the new the only thing that is really frustrating is that it cuts back my shifts at work.  Hopefully, everything will just work out in the end.

If goes as planned..

I will have my new laptop tomorrow. Thrilling! Then I won't be as dependant on other people's computers. Printing will be the only thing that I'll have to rely on others for.
In other news, apparently Taboo is back together. Even though I wasn't sure we even officially disbanded, life just got in the way. There are a few last minute practices before we're doing a show on Friday. I foundout about this Sunday. Talk about short notice. I'm not complaining just a little overwhelmed.
In yarn news, I've picked out my next review yarn. I've been working with it a little bit at a time during the week. At currently I have 2 crohcet projects, 1 knitted, and 1 on my knitting loom. I'm quite happy with this as I'm making decnt progress on all of them in betweenn homework, house work, and work. There are some changes at work now. I'm not cocktailing, instead I'm learning to bartend at banquets at the hotel that the bar(s) are in. Which is fine with me, bartenders tend to make more money anyway. That's the update thus far.

I live on tips

You know, TIPS.... To Insure Proper Service. So why do people come to my bar and make me work for nothing? No tips, they just get want a free show. I don't get paid just for showing up. Imagine you're boss coming up to you and saying, 'I want you to do your job, but I'm not going to pay you for it, I just want to watch.' And you are supposed to be okay with that. Yeah, you might know how I feel. I know money is tight, but that doesn't mean you should stiff anyone who makes their living of tips... from waitress to dancer, anywhere.
