to foam or not to foam? that is the question.. or is it a question?

Ok, I obviously work at Starbucks. This morning something totally irked me and it's not the first time. SOme lady asked for no foam on her facking chai tea latte. Ok, as baristas, yes we are supposed to make your drink right. Yes, we are supposed to make sur eyou are happy and YES we screw up sometimes. Today happened to be a particularly unhappy day for little miss rain cloud. She threw a fit. Like a real temper tantrum. HEAVEN FORBID there was foam on her latte. WHAT THE EFF, right? so Blake remade it and sent her on her way. The second she walked out the door, I asked some waiting customers if foam on their lattes was a life or death situation and they just laughed at me, then said no.

So word of the wise, all baristas screw up, but please don't throw a hissy fit/temper tantrum. It's not our fault you're having a bad day and if it is? Then go to a new coffee shop because we don't want customers like you!

rain, rain, keep a'coming.

As I'm sitting here at NuVibe, a really cool coffee shop, I've done a bit of thinking about the last few weeks. I don't even remember the last time I posted.. sheesh!

Today is Father's Day. I was not able to be around my Dad, which is actually really sad if you think about it.

I'm 22 years old and I'm living in a city of like 60,000 people. I live 1 hour from my parents and I never make it home. I have friends in Omaha that get mad at me for not visiting. Well, why don't you visit here? I recently missed my cousin's 21st birthday because of work. My cousins/siblings were pissed. Uh, hello. They do not realize how busy my life is. It's not that easy to take work off. It's not that easy to stop my life to accomodate yours. I'm sick of people trying to take advantage of me, trying to push me around to do what they want to do. I want to do something for me. My family is going down to the lake for the 4th, I'm so jealous, but the instant that my sister, brother, mother AND father (all at seperate instances) told me I needed to take work off to come down. It made me realize how much I don't want to go down there anymore. Fuck. I work full-time, I go to school full-time, I rarely make it out on the weekends BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME. It's just so frustrating. I can;t wait to be out on my own. Out of college, with my own apartment and my own time.

This rant sucks.

Boys suck. I'm still in love with the one who broke my heart. I try to hang out with others, but they like to ditch me. It's just getting old. I want to find a man who could win my heart over instantly. I can always dream, but what if when I move to (or just travel) Europe I meet this amazing man. Orrrr I have this crazy idea of when I move to DC that I'll meet the future president of the US. HAHAHAHA. I like that one the best. {a girl can always dream}

It's been raining for like the last month. It's pretty great, other than the flooding, that's not great at all. I like the rain, mostly when it storms though. I like the thunder and the cool weather it brings. It makes me wish I had someone to lay in bed with all day or just sit on the porch, drink coffee (or a beer) and just talk about anything...

I. am. pathetic. [must be that rain]

I need to make better use of my time (obviously)
I have a paper due tomorrow and I need to catch up on my reading...
later gator

Summahhh

I haven't updated since the weekend. Man did I need that vacation. It was spent driving halfway to KC to meet Eric. So we went out and saw Jaycie and Erin, whom I haven't seen in forever! Then waking up at the crack of dawn to drive 4 hours to Kimberling City. Talk about major think time.
Relaxing on the lake was the remedy I needed. In between crying and thinking about what I want to do with my life, I had so much fun.

Things I pondered was what went wrong between me and Aaron. It's been 2 months, I know. Don't remind me, but I'm not over him. I just realized this but I think I wanted to truly spend the rest of my life with him. That's why I can't get over him. I don't want to think about it anymore though, I just want to get over him. It doesn't help when he texts me things like "I know it's not easy, because if I were to see you now I would feel the same way it's not like we didn't have chemistry." What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Something else was what I wanted to do with my life. With my best friends moving halfway across the country and Blake moving 5 hours away.. it made me realize I don't want to stay in Nebraska. I will probably stay for a year or two, but I want to move. I want to see the country and possibly the world. I know it's ambitious, but I want to set a goal and meet it.

I was also thinking about my Grandma. I spend my last hour in Kimberling City with her. We hung out in her garden and talked flowers. I love flowers and she gave me that love and appreciation for them. This whole cancer thing has really thrown our family train off the track. I'm just scared and I know she's scared. All we can do is pray and hope for the best.


School is winding down for the first session and I couldn't be more pleased. I dominated my tennis class, but not really. It was so much fun and I'm glad I could learn a lifetime sport. Coaching Philosophy is interesting, but I'm happy it's over!! We are watching Hoosiers today. Thank you coach Brothers for making me despise this movie.

Weekend is pretty free with reffing tomorrow and work on Sunday. Should be a beautiful weekend!
Ciao.
