Big smiles....

Woke up smiling...how about that for a Wednesday morning?! I had an interesting evening at the bar last night, my first night back since I was sick. I was full of energy and ready to go. Typically, I would have struggled with last night being so slow...but not this time. I was energized right till the end. Good thing too....shit went down...as always. Between a serious leak with the hot water tank and one of my favorite customers beating up another customer...there was enough action to keep anyone on their toes. LOL!!!

Let's call this favorite customer 'A' (for argument sake) and the guy he beat up 'B'. So everyone is chilling out having drinks and all is well. B decides to get a little excited about himself...he's 20. He's talking a lot of s***...but that is to be expected from a young man. B ends up saying something pretty stupid and it was not only directed to me but was about me. This is not the first time I hear this kind of thing...I really am quite numb to the sentiment. I couldn't have cared less about the comment, in fact...I was washing dishes and didn't think anything of it. Please note; it wasn't mean....it was meant to be a compliment but was said in a derogatory manner which wasn't polite or well mannered. Well...A was less than impressed and decided to look after matters. A approached B and put his hand on B's arm and simply said "that was inappropriate, could you please apologize to Paula!". B didn't like the approach and then the energy between the 2 of them escalated and within minutes....the 2 of them are brawling. BRUTAL!!! What you need to know about A is that he is 6'4, 230lbs while B is 5'7 maybe 170lbs give or take. Not a fair fight at all.

I managed to separate the 2 of them and the rest of the night was mellow....except for the leak in the basement. LOL!!!

This was not what put a smile on my face this morning. I have been asked out on a date. This will be my first date since the days of Mr. Fabulous. It has been a long time. I am excited. We scheduled it for next Wednesday. He is picking me up and taking me out. It is a complete surprise what we will be doing...and I LOVE that!

Not to mention...as the days push forward...my festive spirit and excitement levels rise and I am totally and utterly full of joy. LOVE 'N IT!!!

Happy Hump Day to all!! xo P
