Music is quite Powerful, Dont cha think?

Everyone loves music. I mean have you ever heard anyone say "I hate music"? Yeah neither have I. I love music. Any type too, well maybe not all country and seriously who ever gave Carly Rae Whatever-Her-Name-Is a record deal should get seriously hurt. My music time is  normally when I'm in my garage working out. That's when I have my music blasting. I'm a "rock out really loud to hardcore rock" kinda workout girl. My neighbors probably hate me since my music is blasting insanely loud. But it gets me pumped and able to workout better. Music really helps get blood pumping for a good workout.

 

This is probably going to be depressing but it'll show how music is really powerful. I'm a waitress at Ruby Tuesday and just about 5 days ago a co-worker passed away from insane liver problems. With time literally running out, I closed the store with my other co-workers as fast as we possible could so we could go visit him one last time. When we got there, on TV was the music channel on Classic Rock, and there was Jeff laying in his bed just humming along with the music. I don't know how much pain he was in at that moment but it seemed like he was at peace with his family by his side, his friends and co-workers, and his favorite music playing. It just seemed like all the right music was playing too, nothing that he didn't like or nothing that we all didn't like. It was comforting to know that he was at peace with his family and his favorite music.

 

So all in all, I think music is quite powerful. Don't cha think?

Does anyone have time for anything?

Lately I've had no time to do anything but work and go to school! My mother just told me this morning that she's proud of me for making time for everything that I need to do and still do it will.
How I do it well is beyond me. If anyone knows me well, they know that I HAVE to have at least 30 minutes to do a workout at least once a day. The great thing about Crossfit workouts that I do is that some of them only last 15 minutes. But there hard as heck! I need time to do homework, see my boyfriend, see my family and of course go to work. This morning though of course my schedule was greatly messed up since I slept a good hour through my alarm. And then both mom AND dad called to let me know that they forgot things that they need for work so I was the lucky one that had to bring it to them.
How I got a workout in, a shower in,breakfast, and made it to school on time is beyond me.
I just want more time to sleep. Is that to much to ask?

I just don't get football

I seriously think I'm the only one that doesn't understand football. I have legit tried to learn all the basics but no matter what someone tells me about the game I still have no clue. Baseball? I know that game like the back of my hand. Same with hockey and soccer. But football I have no idea.
Why am I talking about this? My boyfriend and his friends are currently in a Madden Football video game tournament. Yeah. I didn't know they existed either. His kicking some butt though (my boyfriend I'm talking about lol). He's apparently undefeated and if he wins the next two games then he's $150 richer. Yay!
I don't think it'll get much more random than this. Ashley + football = random. Very random. So if anyone wants to give it a try to maybe help me understand please so! Lol

So are you a good tipper or a bad tipper?

So we all go out to eat right? Now would you say your a good tipper? Or do you admit that your a bad tipper?

As a waitress, when I go out to eat I most likely over tip, but that's just me.

I work at Ruby Tuesday (they eat your soul), and lemme tell you about the tippers I get on a daily basis. I either get really really good tips or just down right pathetic tips and I'm a good server (not tooting my own horn or anything) so I think that I should get good tips. My favorite is when my table will tell me over and over about how great of a server I am and how great their experience was and then all I get is $4 on a $30 check. Um okay just so people know "Your a great Server!" and "Your such a pleasure! We must request you next time!" does not pay my bills and put gas in my car! And gas is now almost $4!

What most people don't know is that us servers only get paid $4.70 an hour, so when you tip really bad its really hurting us.

Now I'm not saying you should over tip when your server is absolutely terrible. If you have a server that never refills your drinks or barley comes to the table, then by all means tip 15%. But if you have a really good server that is on the ball the whole time then please tip the 20%.

 

So tell me people, the truth comes out, Are you a Good Tipper? Or a Bad Tipper?

Interesting Tidbit of Information

So talking to some friends today about going out to dinner or lunch, I realized that I am THE WORST person to go out to eat with. Why? I'm a Paleo Vegan that will eat Fish. Which means. No Meat, No Dairy, No Wheat, No Carbs, No Grains, No Processed Foods. Really just fruit, veggies, and fish. And no, it really isn't hard and it really doesn't suck.
So as the conversation with friends went on and about an hour of trying to decide where to eat that I can actually eat at, one friend said "I wish you could just eat Pizza!", and I was like DUH! I can! But how you might ask, since Pizza's two main ingredients are wheat and cheese. Well it is quite simple if you have about an hour of time to yourself to make what is called Paleo Pizza.

Paleo Pizza consists of a Cauliflower crust. Gross? Nope! Just take a cauliflower and almonds and a food processor and just blend it all up until you have a ricy type base and just add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Kneed it up and Bam! Crust! Pop it in the oven for just 15 minutes and then just add sauce and anything else you want to add. Mine always has mushrooms, broccoli, artichoke hearts, red peppers, olives and pineapple. No cheese :). So fricken good! And really healthy which is great if your a health nut like I am:).

What it ends up looking like. The one with meat was of course not for me:)

To Start This Off I Guess :)

 I'm not making a blog about how gun control is good or bad or any other depressing topic that the world is revolving around.....No offance to the person with the Gun Control topic.

I'm just going to make a blog about random things that come to our minds, maybe even vent about things that are currently pissing you off.

So whats random thats on my mind?

Let's See

My puppy totally face planted today while I was just lounging on the couch. I have a 7 month old English Bulldog named Hank (my younger brother named him -__-) and he has a running and jumping problem. He began by running onto the couch and then decided to leap onto the coffee table...that was just cleaned (I decided to clean 0_o)......and still a bit wet....so as he leaped onto the table he slid off and onto the carpet floor.

Disclamer: Hank was not hurt!

Me, having a sick sense of humor first did the whole "open mouth gasp in surprise" thing then I bursted out laughing. My 13 year old brother on the other hand was screaming CALL PUPPY 911!.....yeah I dont get him either.
So here's a picture of Sir Hank and I believe that hes so fricken cute :)
