IM BAAACCCKKK

Shift = Lunch
Weather = 71 degrees and windy!

Sorry I have been gone a couple of days. I try and keep these Blogs interesting and somedays have been a little mundane and rainy. Seriously for the past two weeks here in Destin its been rain, more rain, hey guess what ... rain! and FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG. It has felt so much like Seattle in the summer ( I assume ). Im have been so tired of wind, rain, and chilly. I live in FLORIDA for crying out loud and I swear its been just abmismal. I am in a wedding in 30 days and Ill be in Northwest Arkansas standing in a purple gown at old main looking like a Cullen clone. Pasty white but not as supermodel-esc.

As I have previously mentioned we have had more and more new kids hired on and I have to say. I really like most of them. One of them that strikes me as the most interesting is Gita, the Russian goddess who has looks and world travel in her repitore. I might be attracted to her. Cant tell right now. lol ( that was totally a joke... I think) She is all legs, alabaster skin, coffee colored eyes, and long gorgeous brown hair. Then she opens her mouth and out comes this wordly accent that I am so jealous of. All I can think about when I am around her is " TEACH ME". Her speech of that is of buttery charm with a tone of evil. Very dark and sophisticated. My southern accent is charming and with the flutter of my eyelashes, rounding out the drawl, and a little hip sway I can get my way or anything I desire about 99% of the time. This girl steam rolls me in the sexy department. Seriously boys, come for the Crab.. stay for Gita.

Other than that I have been working with and in the same conditions. Rain, bitchy old people, and crappy bring home. Today however, the sun was shining, the people were in bathing suits and cover ups, and the entire resturant was opened up the the beach. Cool breeze poured in and even though people were in a better mood.. I got some of the cheapest tickets/tippers on the planet. My first table was a foresome of frat boys ( very cute but baby faced ) all in their pastel polo and lacoste get up. Tip, you can spot a frat boy in vacation anywhere right now. He will be wearing a pastel expensive shirt, pastel colored shorts, and wayfarers with some neon headstrap on them, and Sperrys or leather flip flops. He will be blue eyed and big smiling and will remind you of spring breaks past that you got to expericance. I was proud to say that the table of boys seemed to think i was in my early 20s because they were all smiley, asking for scooter rentals, and tips for the good places to go after sundown. No one would knowingly ask an old lady of 31 almost 32 these things so I gave them their information and returned Mr. Cummings ( seriously his name not making it up ) black AMEX back to him and wished them a happy vacation. This kid tipped me 30% and was a class act the whole time. If this is what spring and summer are bringing to Destin vs Panama-shitty, then BRING IT. Ill take wealthy college kids and families galore.

The only weirdness I experianced was my 3rd table of the day asking me about oysters on the half shell as an appetizer. Man = Yall have oysters on the half shell right? I want a dozen. Me=  We sure do! Those will pop right up and Ill be right back with those. Man = Well wait, those are fresh oysters yes? Me= Of course! We shuck them 15 mins before we open, ice them down, tray them, and then put them in an iced down cooler that closes inside the bar. Man = So you crack them open and sit out? Me = No sir, they are freshly shucked in the morning, trayed, Iced down, and then put in an iced down cooler behind the bar. Its 12:00 now and they were done shucking at 10:45. Man =  but when they sit out in the open air like that they grow bacteria...... Me = well they arent in open air, the cooler is iced down and it closes. Man = Well Im afraid of something that sits down in open air so Ill just have something else.  REALLY????  re-read that. How did he not hear me on the whole oyster preservation process presentation? Jeez. Then he got all fluffed up because we dont give free refills on a plastic cup he wanted filled with limes and then flooded with Tonic water. Dude.. eat your food and drink your fart water and hurry up and go. Someone willing to spend 25.00 to 30.00 for an entree is waiting to sit here and quite frankly Id rather have them. Just when I thought the annoyance was over I took him the check, he put down cash, I had no cash so I went to the bar to get him change, and he approaches me and tells me he is a local and wants his 20% off... of a 15.00 tab..  ( yes we offer that to locals ) So I have the manager repull his ticket, apply the discount, and then take him his change. He tipped me 10%. Jimmy Cricket people... if you are going to be that annoying please pay me for putting up with it.

My day ended at 2:30pm and I met my spouse down on the water who had set up our Razorback tailgate tent, chairs, and had been sunning for 2 hours. I put on my bikini and sunned until 3:45 and Im pretty sure as I sit here typing this Im feeling my cheeks sting and feel very summer kissed. Gotta dig that age defying wrinkle prevention concoction I bought to preserve my early 20's face and start using it. Cant get all leather faced if Im going to be all sexy otherwise. PS since christmas I have lost 20lbs working on my feet, lifting trays, and busting my arse in the gym. I will be a size 2 in at the very latest 4 more weeks. So proud of me!!! Horn tooting!! Horn tooting!!

Tomorrow I am on call and fully intend to get my P90x in and then hit the beach again to get some color on both sets of my cheeks while enjoying as much diet beer as possible.

Love to you all. Especially you Russians.. god bless you make some beautiful women!!!
