Confidence

Extrovert at heart, introvert by nature.

I'm trying so hard,

to stop being so shy all the time.

So today,

I did something new:

I went to Applebees

by myself!

I'm so proud :D

At first,

I was really nervous.

The host/greeter guy seemed to be embarrassed for me.

The waitress asked if I wanted a drink

and if I'd prefer to sit at the bar.

When I told her I wasn't 21,

she giggled nervously.

I did however,

order a Strawberry Daiquiri (virgin)

which btw was delicious,

not to mention a real treat.

I had a Caesar salad to start off,

but it was drowned in dressing

and pretty soggy,

so I only ate the croutons

and crunchier lettuce pieces.

I ordered this for the entree:

Garlic mashed potatoes,

steak smothered in cheese,

red and green peppers,

mushrooms...

YUM!

To top things off,

I couldn't walk away without

my favorite dessert :)

While I was eating, I wrote a little bit,

read a little more,

and had the chance to do one of my favorite activities:

people watching.

All in all,

it was a pretty pleasant experience.

I don't think it will ever be my first choice,

but it was definitely a lot less scary than I thought it would be.

On a different topic,

I got a job at Target!

It isn't my first choice

to work the food counter,

but a job is a job.

I also wasn't too pleased,

that I'm not making as much as I was,

but again,

a job is a job.

And a job is better than none.

I had two interviews,

and the second lady,

was the one that would be my immediate boss.

She said she'll probably cross train me,

which I told her would be perfect.

I don't think working at the food counter will be bad,

I've worked food before.

I just don't want to do it every day,

so cross training will be nice :)

I gotta put in my dues though, right???

[[I can't wait for August 17th!]]
