1 Winner, 2 Videos, and 3 New Baristas.

First off, congratulations to littleboo from justin.tv for winning the Mousepad Contest! It's an awesome design and I can't wait to use it. Also, a big thanks for everyone else who submitted a design. I wish I could get one of each!!

I'm going to skip to the third subject real quick. At work, I'm training 2 new baristas, soon to be 3 once I finish with one of these. It's quite a work out and sometimes I forget to give both of us breaks. I talk quite a lot during the training so I also tend to lose breath/my voice.

So, onto the videos. I asked Dennis, jokingly, to sing a song to me and he actually did it! Just watch.

You get one vote so make it count!!

"You Know How I Know You Don't Blog Enough?"

They changed the Blogger Dashboard and you had no idea.

Hah. Yeah, I should do this more often. It gives me a more sense of completeness when I finish one.

But anyway, work's going awesome at the moment. We had the busiest day I've worked on Saturday. The scare with Hurricane Ike hit everyone so they decided they didn't want to be at home if the tropical storm hit them. They'd rather be stuck at Starbucks drinking coffee. I mean, who wouldn't? It's a tiny cafe that would probably lose electricity and water, but it's coffee! People would eat the beans if they had to!

Oh! Speaking of Starbucks, fall is hitting. I'm in love with the cold weather and I'm so happy I can start drinking my Americanos again without drinking 2 sips and starting to sweat like a pig!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets are back in sale! They're coming to Dallas on January 3rd. I'm hoping I can buy the tickets this year. I even got a little ahead of myself and took the day off from work. I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I know some people that don't so I'll state the reasons I love them so much.

1. I love Christmas
2. I love rock music
3. I love people that sing Christmas songs
4. Their TV specials are so intriguing
5. Santa Claus isn't some huge red figure in their shows. The music and lyrics are more important.
6. I've always wanted to play the cello in a concert

So as you can see, the reasons stand firm. I will go to a concert before I die. I will go to at least 2.

Blogging from School

Hey everyone. I'm just blogging from school in my Intro to Business class. We're meeting in the library for our yearly computer research class. These things are...informative.

My fruit and vegetable diet is going okay. I've cheated so much, but I've lost a little weight.

Oh lord. Why am I blogging? I have nothing to say.
