I am sooo exciting!!!

So, its Saturday morning. No, its actually Saturday afternoon. I have today off because the new restaurant that I am working at is not open on Saturdays. I had yesterday off as well. The most exciting thing I did yesterday was go grocery shopping. I was able to do this because I received my vacation check from my last job. I now have some money in the bank, so I'm not going to starve. My big excitement for today is reading the New York Times and preparing Jamie Oliver's roast chicken and potatoes recipe. I would do something on the grill, but its out of propane and I don't have the money to fill it up. I also don't know where to go to fill it up and I don't think they would let me take the propane cylinder on the bus.
Work is work. Its not good or bad; it just is. I tell everyone who asks that its a job and its better than not working at all. We still don't have our liquor license so we are still not doing dinner. Coke should have been in yesterday morning to install our bar guns and ice wells, but I'll believe it when I see it. I've gone back to Bar X a few times in the past two weeks to see all my friends there. Its been very nice to see all of them. I really miss hanging out there on a daily basis. I might go there tomorrow night to see JD and some of the girls because I have Monday off so I can stay up/out late on Sunday.
I really need to work at that mall again. Its where the money and people are in this city. I enjoy working downtown. Its been very enlightening.
On the tech news front. If you don't already have an iPhone, GET ONE!!!! I love mine. The job search has been made much easier by having one. The price is right at this moment in time. They start at $99!! I know AT&T is more expensive than Verizon, but they have great coverage. I have also had very good luck with their customer service. (Both with Apple and AT&T.)
I have been able to pay most of my bills. My roommate is AWESOME! and has been letting me slide on rent as long as I keep paying the scooter insurance, wash the dishes, mow the lawn, do laundry, feed and bathe the dog and generally keep the house clean. I know that sounds like alot, but we have a small house so its not very time consuming. My parents have been helping me cover my school loans. They are the best and know that I only ask for help when I really need it. I'm going to watch something on http://www.hulu.com/ now and then hit the store for the last things I need for dinner tonight.
