Four months down... & a lifetime to go!


I have been neglecting to write in this blog for an unforgivable amount of time, but I'm going to try and change that.

Life these past two months have had their ups and down but mostly its been ups. My full-time job is going well. I'm really getting the hang of that ways of company and am taking on more responsibilities nearly every week. Although it does kind of upset me that people think I'm stupid because of my lowly position, I do enjoy when I suprise people with the skills I do possess.

I am still seeing Mr. London... can you believe it?!
.
I got a second job at a trendy restaurant in the west village. I enjoy it alot but it's hard to be working 7 days week.

Actually a week ago one of the most ridiculous things happened to me. It was the sunday before labor day and I was working a double. I had gotten there at 10:45 and was supposed to get out at 9:00. The night before this Mr. London and I had gone on a fabulous date and he had spent the night at my place. We both took the subway to 14th. I walked to work and he went shopping. Now back to sunday night... So here I am it's 9:30 and I was anxiously awaiting the restaurant to start to slow down so I could get out and head over to a friends house. As I'm watching the minutes slowly tick by I notice a stretch limo outside. In my head I was saying "F*ck..f*ck.. do not come in here I want to go home F*ck!!!!!" I see two girls get out and I think to myself "ehhh tacky dresses they must be from new jersey." (The west village is filled with fashionistas... you can tell those who don't belong) When all the sudden I see Mr.London climb out. Here is where I really lose it "OMG OMg omg omg omg... is he on a date?! omg omg!!!" and "OMG what is he doing here?! Really here out of all the millions of restaurants in NY?!" Since there was no place to hide I decided to look intently onto the computer screen to avoid eye contact. Mr. London comes right up to the hostess stand and say hi. I go to him "this is akward" clearly thinking he is on a date. (the night before this on our date we chatted about what we are and where we are going... decided we were going to take it as it comes... meaning we can see other ppl) He replies "when you get a minute stop by the table and I'll introduce you to everyone." So I being the mature person I am... tell the other hostess my dilemma, have around 5 mini meltdowns, and do three walk bys before gathering the nerve to actually go over. So I head over with my head high and in my super cute cynthia vincent white dress. I wasn't going to let these wealthier, older people get the best of me. So what I am hostessing, so what I am only a receptionist. I'm 23 hotter than you and going to get there... prob when I'm around your age. (I have to say these things to pump me up haha) I walk up and get introduced to the eight plus group. As he introduces me he wraps his arm around my waist. SUCCESS! I go over and talk a few more times before I was finally set free. Then I said my goodbyes and he walked me out.

And I thought New york was a big city?!
