Welcome to my very first blog! I'm afraid I can't promise that I'll have anything wonderfully interesting to share...so just be a dear and pretend. Thank you.

My random thoughts for today:

• A few days ago I found myself reliving a few of my experiences, to my current co-workers, as a barista at Beaners (local coffee shop back home). I was reminded, quite fondly, of Beaners Best Refill Guy. For the extent of my 2 year career, he came in every weekday morning at approximately 9:15am (at the exact time that our satellite radio played a rather moving rendition of "When You Say Nothing At All"....which was obviously a sign that he would one day profess his undying love to me) and refill his coffee mug with our Beaners Best Blend brewed coffee. He was quite possibly the prettiest boy I have ever seen. Here's a quick replay of our typical morning...

*fades into Beaners*

Me- Good morning! How are you?

Pretty Boy- Wonderful now, how are you?

Me- Doing pretty good, thanks.

*insert silence and meaningful stares that last for AT LEAST 5 seconds*

Pretty Boy- Have a good day at work, I'll see you tomorrow.

Me- You too! Tomorrow....

*fade out*

I’m fairly certain he liked me a lot and probably wanted to kiss but I fear rejection
way too much to have taken it any further.

• Once I had dinner with a guy that I'm 103% sure was a mob boss down in Palm Beach. We ate, along with my grandparents, at this Italian restaurant where he had his own table and all the staff knew him by name. He had a really thick Italian accent and wore these huge black rimmed glasses. He kept insisting that I order a salad. I didn't want one but ordered it anyway because he slightly terrified me. I'm not sure why I thought of this but it's obviously very important.

That is all.
