I got a phone call this morning from Jim Sheets. My former boss for karaoke. very impersonal. "call me on my cell blah-blah-blah or at home blah-blah-blah" that was it. I debated for a little bit on calling him. I decided not to. The only reasons I can think of him calling me are either to host tonight (highly unlikely) or to invite me to a "party" (even more unlikely) I'm just not in the mood to deal with him anymore. He treated me like i was disposable. After I worked my ass off for him & built his company & his reputation up. I was at Slip Mahoney's for him for 3 years & the White Horse 3 NIGHTS A WEEK for 2 1/2 years. I worked 5 - 6 nights a week for him, to the detrement of other day jobs sometimes. And the thanks I got was to not even plead for my job with ANY PLACE.

You know, being a karaoke host was the one thing I was really good at. A natural, ya know? (I'm not gonna cry) And to have it all just taken away from me at the snap of someone's fingers just doesn't seem fair, now does it? And then to have him act like it just never happened!! That everything is simply hunky-dory, peaches and cream, when I have no job & my reputation is demolished (cuz he didn't dispute that my reason for losing my job was because of me). The owner of that bar did nothing but slander me & ruin my reputation simply because he didn't want to admit his actions were wrong during the situation. And as a result I no longer work ANYWHERE as a host. Let's face it, downriver is a tiny area. As wide spread as my name was that I was a fabulous host, it's probably 10 times (at least) more widespread that I was a loud-mouthed drunk / alcoholic who hogged the mic & never let anyone sing. (yeah, that's what was being said about me after the stupid "incident")

I know I'm probably better off not working in the bars & hosting karoke, but it doesn't feel like it most of the time. Like I said, it was the one thing I was really, really good at. I mean, I love music, I love to sing & I love people (most of the time). AND I was good at singing, controlling the crowd, keeping people happy & making them feel special. Plus it made me feel good. I had people appreciating my talent & enjoying to hear me sing. Now I'm just one of the crowd.

New Topic

I started a new "diet" yesterday. Well, not so much a diet as a change of munching. I have self diagnosed myself as being someone that is carbohydrate dependant, so I have decided to try and eliminate as much as I can. Mostly it's just not munching on crackers & chips & such during the day. It's a little harder than it sounds, especially since i don't really eat "meals" but rather grab snackie type things every couple of hours. and my fave "snackie" is cheese & crackers (or mostly ANYTHING & crackers). I am thinking about going on that "cabbage soup diet" but I'm not sure. maybe if I take it and kinda run with the basics of the diet. it looks pretty amazing. some people have lost as much as 15 lbs. in one week!!! I'd have to start it on a Tuesday tho, so Kevin wouldn't have to put up with my crazy diet needs while he's at home ;) He'll be at work most of the time.

I just want to get back down a couple of sizes for now. I mean, it would be nice to celebrate my 30th b-day feeling slender & sexy, even if i only lose like a size or 2, ya know?

Okay, I think I've made up for not posting in my blog for like a week. I must go play NeoPets now and earn some NPs quick ;)
