Back in Business

An update from this post.


1. Met The Parents

Unsuccessful - Dad was out of town. So, what did he do? How about you meet Mom instead? Oh great!

She was nice, didn't talk much (but Lover already warned me months ago that she wasn't much of a talker). I'm pretty sure she liked me, but again, I don't care either way.

I'm suppose to be meeting Dad soon.

2. Weight Gain

Must have been retaining water. Got some iPhone Apps to help out. How about Calorie Tracker, Couch to 5K, and Weight Watcher. So Couch to 5K seems really cool, it gets potatoes off the couch and running 3.1 miles in 9 weeks. (Can you say new blog?) The down side? I have to be consistent, and by consistent - I mean every day! :(


3. Vacation

See Sedona and Starbucks!


4. Reunited

I don't know what I was thinking before! Some people are just busy! So it was really nice to get with them again. Between my complaints of flakiness, I don't think I have mentioned how good of people these two are! And the age thing.. hmm... Well, I know SHE doesn't have a problem. But, I still think he does. Time will tell. I had greek food for the first time!

5. Job Hunt

I didn't get the job I applied for. I'm keeping my head high and I'll keep looking...

6. Back in Business

The first bartending gig of the new season went GREAT! I'm so glad to have made some money, I mean, I actually made some money!!!

Sedona

So, I thought I would do a Photo Blog of Lover and I's mini day vacation trip to Sedona.
First, you might want to read about the Starbucks Debacle.

THEN...


He thinks I'm weirdWe see the next 3 rock mountains


















We really like waterfalls
Look! The color green!!!
I know the rock is pretty, but look at the sky; it was a beautiful day!
Then we saw these pigs
So I gave her a kiss and the man...
...well, I don't know what he did :S
We went shopping and found this sign. Very fitting.
Stopped to have a beer...
...and fed Cinderella
We found a statue
When he wasn't looking...
I sneaked a peak - good tuck!
We found a big slippery rock - Slide Rock
I swear I didn't fall down
Then Lover went in... Face first!
...then he slipped
... and tried to cover it up
And then we went home...

Starbucks Debacle



The picture above shows a coffee purchased at a Starbucks.


Now, you might be asking yourself why I would take time and energy to take the picture and THEN to write a blog about it. Well, it just so happens to be because I think stupidity is a disease and I like to call it that when I see it.


While on a little day trip to Sedona, Lover and I stopped at a Drive-Thru Starbucks to get some coffee. We ordered at the speaker, pulled to the window, he had card his card in hand, paid for the coffee, we got our straws and receipt followed by our coffee and we pulled away.


FREEZE.


Now, isn't that how it normally happens when you order coffee at a Drive-Thru. Not us.


REWIND...


We pulled to the window (card to pay in hand), we were then greeted by someone who did not take our order (gender told us so), he handed us our coffee, and said, "thanks guy, have a good day." I looked at Lover, looked back up at the employee (who by that time was closing the window and thus his window of opportunity to correct himself. So, we pulled away with our free $7 coffees.
