...spelled just like E-s-c-a-p-e...

So, I realize I haven't posted anything in almost a week. It's been a whirlwind of settling in at work, daughter-duty, and the usual marital madness. Yesterday was my 4th day as Riva Hostess, and my overall conclusion is that it's going to be a bizarre job.

It's physically easy because all I have to do is escort guests to their seats. But it's a mental exercise because I'm responsible for balancing the restaurant. In other words: making sure each guest is seated in the optimal table to ensure that each server has the same number of covers, while still keeping with the specific criteria each guest asks for. Whether it's a seat outside, privacy, a good view, or even proximity to the kitchen. Everything can occasionally become a tough sell.

Anyway it's only three days a week, so if anyone there becomes too difficult I can remind myself I'll be escaping to room service soon. And vice versa, naturellement.

Another development this week, I've decided to officially eat healthier. More fruits & veggies, less processed crap. Starbucks is of course, the exception. [Is it January again or something?]

As you can see

I'm new to blogging - I'm just going to treat this as a place to tell my stories, and maybe think outloud.
