My Life - Work

I went to work today exhausted, why some of you might ask, well because I was at a friends house... staying up WAY to late... But it's not what you think! We weren't gossiping or eating ice cream out of a tub, I was reading... It make sense, I have a BOOK review blog, I've got to read sometime!

So anyways, I went to work pretty tired, but happy. I start polishing plates, trying to get some plates from the cupboard (down at my feet) and some plates aren't coming out. So I tried a little harder (wasn't that a horrible idea) and suddenly there's a HUGE crash and a look down and there's glass everywhere (Ugh, this is so embarrassing)! I felt like such an idiot, it's a five star resort and I broke six expensive bowls... Well after that I was just a little bit frazzled and I could tell some people noticed... So to summarize the event, my boss and some other workers came up to me after and told me it wasn't a big deal, and that everyone breaks things, which helped with the guilt (a little). Overall today was definitely not the best day at work. Wish me luck tomorrow!

I can't believe vacation and 2010 is almost over!! What's with this? Vacation goes way to fast...
What have I been doing this whole vacation?? What have you been doing this whole vacation? I still have a pile of homework! Sigh... I've had some ideas on a new years resolution but I guess I'll make the final decision tomorrow night! Do you have a new years resolution?

A new book review is coming out soon, if you've read the updates at the top of the blog, you should know what book(s) it's on. You should also know the poll that's going on right now. Transparent vs. Color. The posts now (as you can see) have a background color, I've heard many peoples opinion and I can't make up my mind, so I decided to let my readers decide. So please, vote!

Transparent Pro- See the lovely background of old books
Transparent Con- Viewers have a harder time reading the text

Color Pro- Viewers can see the posts easier
Color Con- You can't see the background of old books

What do you all think of The Gift by Susan Boyle album? I've heard of few songs and I've heard her amazing story. Tell me what you think? Do you like her, do you hate her? Have you heard of her, have you not? Do you think your the next big artist of 2011?

P.S. What do you think the best book of 2010 was? Send me an email or comment below. I want to hear what you think!

My Life - Holiday Vacation

I think the best part of the holidays is eating the extravagant dinners, not going to lie. I love eating food and what better way to fatten yourself up with great homemade food with your family?

Every year I have the same problem, what to get my brother and father? Does anyone else have the same problem? I'm a teenager, so I don't have a lot of money and all my brother wants is a dirt-bike (around $1,500)! If you know any great gifts ideas, PLEASE share them with me! 

Three days ago a got a call from my dad, offering me a job at a five star resort where he works. Considering I've been begging my dad to get me a job there, this was the best Christmas news I'd heard! Today was my second day of work as a "plate polisher." Yes, five star resorts do require ALL of their plates, silverware and glasses polished. For some readers this might sound horrible, but for a 15 year old girl, it's AwEsOmE! I've met some hilarious people and not, cough, another employee I work with. Overall, I love my job, period. 

I hope everyone is having a great holiday break and everyone is spending time with friends and family! Feel the love! 

P.S. Tomorrow I have basketball (hopefully it won't be disrupted by the snow) which will be the best part of my day, I also get to see some of my friends! 

Has anyone else noticed gender racism of women and mens basketball shoes? Why is it that men get so many choices for basketball shoes, whereas women get none. Something must change!
