It's been the busiest of times and I need a Red Bull. NO seriously..a Red Bull light anymore? 5 Hour Energy please? Coffeee??
On those pesky lbs. ...
To begin; the moment I declared that I was going to restart my Weight Watchers plan, seemingly everyone around me wanted lunch, dinner, and all manners of snacklicious yum yums, pot-lucks and free foods. I pressed pause on the dietary issues in favor of social graces..but June is less than a month away now and I don't want to be wearing a sensible cardigan (or sensible anything) on the beach. So cheers to a new start - wish me luck. Goodness knows it will be tough to have two tacos instead of my normal five.
On Freelance and Volunteer endeavors...
A personal victory: I inched ever so close to my dream job of bartending this past Saturday. I wanted to test the theory of "situational hotness" from HIMYM. There wasn't any White Snake or Warrant playing and I mostly served weird brown beers to myself and sang tunes from Disney's The Little Mermaid but I had fun. I carded two women bordering on a century old and gave us all a good laugh, as it turns out a red orange wrist band won't get you into Scope but it will get you some Killians. I hope someone cards me at 91 (or chip since I'm sure we'll be implanted with them soon).
An educational nugget to file away for future use: bartending and freelancing will get you a fancy staff badge, it will not get you into any functioning restroom. (Thank you again MacA for saving me from yet another set of restroom shenanigans).

On softball..
Up until this past Monday my softball team - The Unicorns of the Apocalypse - had not experienced the glory of victory. I have however; experienced: many many many domestic-violence-looking- bruises, ruined tennis shoes, hair bigger and frizzier than a lion's mane, and massive amounts of mosquito bites. If we never win again - I will remember April 30th as the day the little team that coudn't actually DID. And also that my iphone failed miserably at GPS by getting me lost in a scary scary section of Pungo.

On unicorns and spirit animals..
What's with all the unicorns?
Simply put - my friend Marcia nicknamed me the Beer Unicorn in early 2011.
Why?
Because of my magically uncanny ability to conjure free "spirits" AND new friends at public festival related events. This theme trended into the following day with the horn symbol..(a pointy finger in front of the forehead signifying the occurrence of a social event).
What about the softball team?
Merely a coincidence...they were Unicorns before I joined (in the fall of 2011)..and just got more magical upon my joining.
Are you really a unicorn?
That completely depends on your imagination and if you believe in the power of awesome.

How did you come to be a bartender? What was the event? I highly recommend the Magellan RoadMate GPS app for your iPhone. It's pricey but awesome.
Hey pony, I came to be a beer server (but declared myself a bartendar) by volunteering for such a task. The event was the Tattoo -the annual bagpiper, military event(not a celebration of skin art). Truth is I really just wanted to be out and about with beer and could not wait until winefestival.
I will take your Magellan suggestion under advisement until the next pay period. I was just really disappointed that MAPS does not talk. I still heart iphone.
