Today was easy and stressful at the same time if that's possible. It wasn't that busy of a Friday so that was somewhat easier but I had to get a catering set up while working in the front too, not so easy.
I started my day like normal at work. Opened everything up waited for everyone else to get there and we had a tiny breakfast rush. Right after that I started cutting up the cheeses for the fruit and cheese tray. This was the first one that I had even helped with other than garnishing what Jane had already done. It was basically instinct on all of it so I was hoping it looked good in the end!
I finished setting the cheeses out and started on the fruit. Jaime helped me by doing some mango and cantaloupe and spearing the berries. We almost got it finished but then we had lunch rush. As soon as that was over I went back and scooped the potato salad. It Turned out looking pretty good. I got a text from Travis saying that he wouldn't be leaving out until three on Saturday. The other student the trainer had in the truck with him had gotten lost so they were about seven hours behind.
After the potato salad I finished up the fruit tray with Jaime and it looked amazing! I was just happy I got done with it in time to go back up front and finish closing! There was almost nothing done so I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off for thirty minutes trying to finish it. It was so hot in there because one of the AC units had frozen up.
Thankfully I was able to get it done in time to help Jaime do the chocolate covered strawberries for Jane's neighbor. Travis called while I was dipping the strawberries. Poor thing was so bored at the hotel! He had gone down to the desk and asked if he could do work around the hotel for ten dollars and a pillow! I got a kick out of that and couldn't stop laughing. My Mom stopped by as I was finishing up the strawberries and I got to talk to her for a little while before I had to leave. I headed to the bank and then home.
I watched the boys for a little bit while JP and Beth ran some errands together. When they got back I went to finish shopping for Mother's day gifts. Travis talked to me on the phone the whole time I was picking out gifts. It was sweet! I stopped by Earthfare before heading home. I love that store but I hate how it smells like weird hippie herbs and it's hard to find a worker that doesn't have dreadlocks and a beard! I was looking around trying to pick out some meat for dinner. I had a ton of chicken tenderloins at home but I forgot to lay some out and they were frozen. So I picked out two Chicken and Veggie Kabobs to try. They looked really good and I was excited to cook them. I also got some African Peppadew peppers from their olive bar. We use them at work and now I am like addicted to them or something. They are sweet and spicy!
As soon as I got home I started cooking the Kabobs. I decided to just pan fry them thinking that would be the easiest way to cook them. Well the pieces of meat were so big that I had to finish cooking them in the oven. I was texting Travis while I cooked and sending him pictures of the food while it cooked. We were chatting about my diet and how it was going. I was basically bragging because I was actually sticking to it and proud of myself! The kabobs turned out to be amazing! I never really bought into the whole organic thing but that chicken was some of the juiciest and best tasting chicken I've ever had!
After dinner I relaxed for a bit and watched Mark Henry break a world record on WWE Smackdown. He pulled two tractor trailers! I can't remember exactly how far but something like twenty or thirty feet. It was insane! After wrestling was over Travis called me to say good night and I was out like a light!
