Okay, so maybe I stole that from a song, and maybe I didn't cry, but I am a big girl! I had a big girl day just to prove it to all of you! First, I am staying alone in a city where I know no one...take that! Then, I managed to find the Starbucks where I started my training today, all on my own! How big girl am I?
In case you wanted to know, the training went well today. One of the girls I worked with today is actually from the states! Made me feel like I was at home...ha, ha! At work, they made me take out my nose ring...gasp! I put it back in at every possible moment and the hole didn't close...don't worry you "Jessica nose ring fans"...I know there are so many of you! But, I guess that is what I will have to do 5 days a week; pull out the nose ring. They also wanted me to take out that hoop in the middle of my ear on my left side. I couldn't get it out though. I am supposed to have it out by tomorrow. But, being the clever person that I am, I am thinking that I will just put a bandaid over it...I'm so smart!
I would like to take a minute out of my blog to brag about the benefits here in the UK. Working at Starbucks, I get 4 weeks paid vacation my first year working there...I get 40 hours to carry me thru December! And, I get 2 weeks sick time! It really is the hard life! I don't even know how I am going to make it here! Ha, ha! I am excited about the nice vacation time. But, back to my big girl day...
After I got off work, I did another big girl thing and went grocery shopping all on my own...how grown up am I? This is actually a big deal, since I don't like having to venture out into the unknown without the safety of Ian by my side. But I did it abnd got the things that I needed.
The last (well who knows; there may actually be more) big girl thing I did today, was seek out a new place to find free internet. My old faithful, Sofis, is having problems with their internet. So, I went to another place instead...Roseleaf. It isn't bad. Really old school looking inside, but they make a mean nachos! Did I mention that I am trying to eat healthy? Ha, ha!
Alright, well that is the synopsis of my "big girl" day. All of you who haven't had a big girl day, don't worry, one day it will happen for you too!
Have a Cozy Weekend.

Someone should get you a lolly-pop for being such a big girl all day long! I love reading your blog, Jessica. Except it makes me sad that I didn't take advantage of having you in California. We should have gotten together.
ReplyDeleteKeep the posts comming. I am living vicariously through you as I slave away at my boring desk job each day.
I love you! But if I was there what would you write about?
ReplyDeleteGOLD STAR FOR JESSICA!
ReplyDeleteGrace had a "big girl day" too! She went to daycare in "panties." She didn't wet her pants all day long! I'm glad you had a big girl day! I'm so proud of you for venturing out on your own! :) If you were my child, you'd get a fruit snack for being a "big girl." Maybe your mom will send you something!!! You should be proud Bonita!
Here is a big smiley face for you... :) Congrats. And I am glad you found a new place for internet so I can talk to you!!! And just remember BIG GIRLS don't CRY instead they do everything on their own....but you forgot to mention your big girl cleaning of the bathroom!!!! HAHAHA
