The Waitressing Side of Life

Hello good readers! I have missed you all dearly :) Today I want to talk about something that I feel should be common knowledge but for some reason people don't seem to know: Restaurant Etiquette - With the main focus on how to treat your server As someone who has been a server for all of my young adult life I have declared myself an expert in the matter. Before we get started, let's take a sneak peek into the life of a server. Servers do not get to eat at the normal meal times. Servers make $2.13 an hour in the state of Texas. It varies from state to state but the general idea is that they are employed by the people they are waiting on. Servers do not get free food whenever they want. Servers have to smile constantly for hours at a time. - Regardless of how rude people are. Those are just a few of the things that servers have to deal with on a regular basis.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. The people I work with are nice, the food is delicious, and there i...

Tuesday Treasures

Hello again! I am very excited about this week's Treasures and I hope you are too :) Let's get started shall we? I have added a few categories as well so I hope you enjoy :) Trending: Right now I am loving this tribal print! I was digging it before it was everywhere and now that it's popular I get to wear it more often! I love it when you mix it with different textures and patterns. Especially this glitter top! You can get this and other cute skirts like it  here Here are a few examples of ways to incorporate this ultra cool pattern into your wardrobe. I know right!? Super Cute! Especially those shoes!!! Should Not Be Trending: A trend that I don't get right now is those ugly mom jean cut off shorts. Seriously, they aren't cute as pants why on earth would they be cute if you cut the legs off? They still make your backside look a mile long. It's just not cute.  They are not flattering in any way! Just don't do it please. Get it for les...

Tuesday Treasures!

Happy New Year Everybody! I know I am a day or two late but, what the hey! It's a new year!   --That means new beginnings and New Years Resolutions ! Here are a few of mine: Get my office (which is a poor mess) nice and tidy Keep up with my blog a little bit better (I'm starting out strong don't ya think?) Read the whole bible this year (Joe and I have received our One Year Bible so that should help) And of course, Be a better wife! But enough about me! Let's get on to what this post is really about. When I started this blog, I wanted it to be about fashion and beauty and all of those things that us girls really love. -But it seems to have turned into me just talking about myself the whole time (shocker I know). Anyways, that's why I came up with this: TUESDAY TREASURES Cute name right?  Tuesday Treasures will consist of several categories in which I talk about things that I like. And as the name gives it away, I will post a new one ever other Tuesday! (...

Busy Body

Hello Dears! Whoo! It has been a BUSY week! With Joey's birthday party, and birthday lunch, and birthday dinner and everything in between we have been non stop busy! So busy in fact that my body is starting to shut down. Literally, I blacked out at work today and fell right on my bum! I came around to a very loud nurse who happened to be eating at the restaurant demanding that my  manager call an ambulance! Thankfully I was able to convince them that  that was not a very good idea and my good friend Leah was able to come pick me up. -Thanks Leah! But no worries! I was only out for a second! I'm all right and I got to go home early! I took a nice nap and it gave me time to post some new items on my etsy shop! YAY! Here are some pictures: Cool Right!? You can see more  here !  Some are a little blurry because they were taken with a not so fancy camera, but they get the job done, kind of.  Anyways, I know that I promised some p...

Finally!

Hello Everyone! I know it has been ages since my last post, (that seems to be the start to most of my post doesn't it?) Anyways, we have just been suuuuuper busy lately! In the last couple of months Joey and I have bought our first home and moved to College Station -which by the way has just been so fun! We spent quite a few nights sleeping on the floor but we have since fully furnished and decorated the whole apartment! (I'm quite proud of it if I do say so myself ;) Joey has burrowed hard into his studies -He is a mechanical engineering major at Texas A&M and I am a proud aggie wife! I have gotten a few jobs since I've been here. Jumping around a bit until I find the right one. Right now I am waiting tables at an adorable little restaurant called  Maddens  and I love it there! The food is to die for, the management is so nice and the owners are the sweetest little couple! There is one problem, I don't make a whole lot of money. So I picked up a 2nd job that'...

Honeymoon Part Dos!

Hello Everyone! Sorry I've been out of touch the last few days. My husband and I are on part 2 of our honeymoon, -A Carribean Cruise! It has been such a blast! There is so much to do on and off the boat and there is so much food It's insane! It's literally like a 5-star hotel on the water! Almost everything is included, our meals, movie in the room, room service, broadway shows, and I have to say the tax and duty free shopping is wonderful! Of course we have had our mishaps. For example, we had just boarded the ship and it hadn't even left the dock yet but we decided to go ahead and get some lunch at the fancy restaurant just to check it out. It's beautiful by the way and the food is delicious! Anyway, I had just recieved my steak and I accidentally spilled my water all over myself and my food! It turned out OK though because our waiter just brought me a brand new steak! How crazy is that!? It was awesome! (except for the part where our suitcase hadn't been deli...

A Little Peak

Hey guys! I hope your Sunday is going a relaxed as mine is :) Yesterday we went ice skating and the people at the skate rental place gave Joey some skates with toe picks on them (He had never used those before). As you can imagine he fell pretty hard... and hurt himself pretty bad. However, once he switched his skates out he was super duper fast again.(He is always the fastest person at the ice rink)  But the fall left him pretty sore, so we took the morning off and have been hanging around the casa. It has given me plenty of time to prepare a nice little sneak peak for my new shop that is launching in a few weeks. So here it is! These are a few of my favorites of the pieces I have been working on. So there you have it! A little taste of my work! Thanks for checking it out!  -Tabitha
