Bree plese go tell her I'm your boyfriend.

 

Today at work we had a luncheon and a regular dinner service. What that means is that we the staff have to come in earlier than usual. Including the wait staff. Though, unlike other events, I got my work done the day before so I got to come in at my regular time. Nate (Chef's brother) and a waiter had come in early today along with the rest of the wait staff. 

  

When we were in regular dinner service Nate came bck to the dish room and kept on hiding. I went back there and asked what was going on. Our conversation went almost like this

Nate: "Did she leave yet?"

Me: "Who?"

Nate: "That girl?"

Me: "Which girl?"

Nate: "There's been this girl following me all day today and right now she's in here and won't leave me alone."

Me looking out to the the restaurant floor 

Me: "Which one?"

Nate: "The fat one with the green. Bree Bree please do me a huge favor and go tell her you're my girlfriend and to please leave me alone."

Me: "hahahahaha"

Vincent (dishwasher): "i'll go tell her."

Nate: "Yes, go tell her you're my boyfriend, i'll be Gay whatever just please get rid of her."

Me: " i think that'll be more effective then me going."

Nate: "please bree."

Me: : "ok, ok i'll do it"

I walk out to talk to the girl and begin my conversation with "Hi, I'm Bree could be please leave my boyfriend alone. He doesn't like to be stalked and well i'm a pretty jealous girlfriend and seeing that we work together, well i'm sorry but it's your loss" she replied something with "which one is your boyfriend?"

me: "the guy with the pink tie (good thing i remembered what he was wearing!)

her: "oh i'm sorry i'm not crazy or anything........i just want a cigarette." 

Needless to say this was a very weird conversation and she definitely was crazy. I told the guys being the only female next time this happened they'd definitely need to play gay since i won't be around anymore after a month. No more me playing girlfriend to a staff of 10 guys who often get female admirers that are a just a bit too clingy sometimes....... ;) 

I adore these guys.

P.S. This girl was a hotel guest and stayed seated outside til after 10pm! I had to go the side door in the hotel lobby because she got in an argument with our hotel staff! I wouldn't be surprised if she had cops called on her after I left.

 

Troy the homeless man

So it's after 10pm and I stop at our local 7 Eleven where outside I see a homeless man. He says hello as I get off my car and I reply with a friendly and simple hello. We have a short 2 minute conversation where I give him some spare change and run inside the store to grab what I was looking for. Prior to entering the store he told me he was an artist and had his portfolio with him and wanted to show it to me. This man is 51 years old, scraggly, bad teeth, bad hair and very dirty clothes. His speech was unintelligible and definitely had a mental illness  but after you get past all that this man turned out to be a very interesting part of my day. When I came back out I talked to him for about 30 minutes. Getting strange and worried looks from incoming customers. I smiled and ignored them so. Troy then told me he had been traveling from South Dakota and part of his adventures. Like being with Indians in a reservation for a while. He told me he was Jewish and had thought Judaism for 30 years. We spoke theology for the rest of the time. He didn't want to let me go! hahaha. It's sad to think about but I don't think anybody ever gave him the time of day. I gave him a hug to which he went to tears. He then followed to give me a present. It is something like a small hacky sack, but beautifully made and intricately designed. He told me this was very important to him and it was something that had been given to him in his time with the Indians. He wanted me to have it. He then asked if I had a spare bible because he had lost his. I was able to give a homeless man the bible I kept in my car!  So with him speaking through my now closed car doors and tears in his eyes he told me he was making his way to San Francisco and hoped that one day he ran into me again. Happy and safe travels Troy. May God be with you.

The wayward daughter returns home

Good bye to this!!!

Hello to this!!

 I know life is rough.

That's right. You read it right. May is my last month in Lake Tahoe! I loved it! I still do. Love my job. Love my friends. Love this place!! It has been one awesome adventure. However, it has to end somewhere and for me this is the end of the road for Tahoe. I will be returning home. To the insistence of my parents. Pray for me as I make this new move. This will be my first time returning home since I was 17. So needless to say I do have to get used to having rules again...... Eek. lol. I am excited, scared and nervous to start this new adventure of living in the Monterey Bay as an adult. Gorgeous gorgeous Monterey Bay. I will be returning to school. So it's not all fun and games. Work as well. I don't have any long term plans (when do I). Nor, do I know what I will be doing in the next year or so. So you are just going to have to stay tuned. I know, this is probably the longest notice I have ever given to friends and family about a move. That is because now I have a serious and stable job where a decision has to be made ahead of time. LOL. What can I say? I flow where the wind blows. I wonder what new experiences life is going to give me and what new people will come into my life. How they will change me and how they will touch my heart.

New adventure here I come.

Never mind not gloomy at all!

It was just a temporary T storm! :D it's gorgeous outside!

Gloomy

AH! Why oh why!? The weather is so gloomy today. What happened to all the clear skies and the wonderful sun?

Did you hear the 'big boom'?

So yesterday morning there was a sound that sounded like an explosion. It was enough to wake me up and stir me from bed but I didn't think much of it. As I continued with my day everywhere I heard about the 'big boom'. Apparently it was heard by more people than just our little city. It apparently was (although I still can't verify it anywhere) a big chunk of rock that entered our atmosphere. Some people are relating it to the meteor shower that was present the night before in our area. Though according to experts the meteor shower was only sparkles (dust)  from a comet's tail therefore the particles would have been too small to cause an explosion effect. Interesting.

It's spring time in Tahoe

Life is hard out here for us in Tahoe. As I begin my weekend I am excited to partake in the outdoor activities that Tahoe provides. Everyone has been enjoying this wonderful weather and I have been quite jealous since I have been a steaming bun cooking in a kitchen the past few days. So as for the next 3 days. Be jealous. I plan to partake in some quite envious activities. Like looking for alcoves such as the one shown above that a friend was able to capture.

My life is about to take another turn. STAY TUNED

It's all about the changes that you are willing to make, the sacrifices you are willing to give and dreams you will give anything to reach.

This is a status I took from an older friend in facebook. He has his own grown children.

Dear Girls
When, a boy pauses his Video Games to Txt You Marry Him ;)
....Just Sayin'

 

I agree. 

You will be missed

I didn't know you too well and I haven't seen you in years but in a small town of ours everybody knows each other and is there to support each other. I remember you being a sweet guy in high school and I enjoyed our brief and short conversations. You always had a smile on your face that was contagious. It makes me sad to know that the world has lost a human being like yourself.

Rest in Peace Ross Calica.

Internet Searches

So I just spent a few hours
1. Searching for things which to decorate my room with. Wall murals, wallpaper, duvets, decorative pillows...etc.etc
2. Street sport motorcycles for short people. Motorcycle gear, helmets, boots, jacket, pants....etc. etc

I think I had a broad search engine going on.

I HAVE been watching way too many dramas lately. I think it's time for some martial arts.

Everyone is looking for love but according to statistics it hardly lasts for most people

I don't get it.

I do daydream of one day having someone serenade me in a public place.

Every girl likes to feel special. Every girl likes to feel loved.

I have never watched Star Wars

Sometimes being free spirited can be quite stunting to educational goals.

Therefore quite stunting on the possibilities to where life could take me. I have a friend whom I attended college with that now lives in South Korea teaching kindergarten. She entered a one year contract with the school. I half jokedly asked how to get this contract. She replied with an entire list and said she could totally help me out with the process. By this time I was not joking whatsoever. However, I replied about what qualifications you needed, to which her reply was. A bachelors. Pah pah pam...... Do not have. Did not finish. Too busy living life. Never realized that this could block my way into an opportunity I was genuinely interested in. I have plenty of schooling. A year in community college (throughout high school) my 3 years at ACU  and my two getting my Associates at the culinary school. I guess I just haven't focused on one thing long enough. I guess that's gonna have to change. My degree should be General studies, I definitely have the credits racked up but even a General Studies Bachelors is focused.....well chucks.

This girl I once rejected has now become the girl of my dreams...

I want to dance like nobody is watching

The Hunger Games

I went to go watch The Hunger Games today! I read the books so I have been excited to go watch the movie. It was good. I will not say it was completely awesome but it did satiate my own imagination of what I had about the books. Except the cornicopia. That was weird. Though I guess in the big picture this is a small and unimportant detail. Can't wait for the rest of them to come out!
