Random Story Time

What a day...

I feel like I've been tossed and thrown around today. I just have all these thoughts rolling around in my mind and I'm struggling to get them under control. Anyways, I am about to go to sleep, but wanted to write about something happy before I do.

So, random story time :)

Don Pablos

When I was a waitress at Don Pablos, I loved my job. I completely enjoyed being at work and serving my tables. Everyone was so friendly, and I really got a kick out of the people I worked with. The guys in the kitchen were always so nice to me. Anything I needed- I got.. no matter how busy we were. When I helped close the restaurant, I got to be there when the guys sprayed the floor and there were suds and bubbles everywhere. The music was blaring and we slipped around. We'd dance and they'd pick me up and spin me around. I always left work ready to party! It kept me awake for studying :)

One night at work we were really busy and I was in a hurry. In a rush to my table, I felt a little tug at my shirt. I turned and looked down and there stood a little girl who had gotten up from her table. She must have been about 5. She looked at me and goes, "You're sooo beautiful!" She then ran to sit down with her family. I was caught off guard, but so touched by this little girl that my eyes teared up instantly. I almost wondered if what I saw had actually just happened. I started to walk toward the girls table to thank her, when my co-worker came to me and goes-- that was the sweetest thing. I already knew it was. It'd made my whole week. I thanked the little girl and told her she was beautiful and so sweet. Every once in awhile I still get a flashback of that.. on a day when I don't want to see myself in the mirror.. and it makes me smile.

I believe it was during fall semester that I was in Meijer and I recognized the tortilla lady from Donny P's near a check-out line. I believe her name was Maria. Out of nowhere, I ran across the store to hug her. She was surprised-no doubt...but she remembered me after what was it.. 3 years. :) It feels good to see an old familiar face.

I think I am so tired I'm just writing nonsense. Lol. I'll do this later. Goodnight all :)
