I’ve said it before (like every week), but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~I watched the USA vs. Ghana World Cup game yesterday and while I was watching it I decided I wanted to try and figure out a little about how the game structure worked. Wow. So confusing. I think, thanks to this video, I have it down, but it took a while to understand! Also from what I could tell, the United States has never won the World Cup and it’s probably not happening this year because we are in Group G which is the group of death? And also, if you want to go to the World Cup and stay for the entire thing you will need to be taking about a month off work.
~I am pretty sure I have asked this before, but do you cut the grass at your house? Have you ever? Not only do I not cut the lawn on a regular basis, but I have never done it. It’s just something B does (and likes to do). But anyway, B’s gone for a bit and the grass is growing! I am sure I could figure out how to turn the lawn mower on, but I’d be afraid to mess it up (B is serious about his lawn care) so I am either going to have my brother do it (he’s a professional) or hire one of the lawn services that cuts one of the neighbors lawns to do it. But I must know, who cuts the grass at your house?
~L (who is 6) wants to do a scavenger hunt (or two or three) this summer. I think that sounds very fun, but I need some ideas on what kind of things I can have him find. Do I theme it? Plant things for him to “find”? If you have ever done one with children, I would love some ideas!
~Did you see this story about the Kentucky restaurant that is banning tipping in their restaurants and how servers will make $10/hour or 20% of their food sales, whichever one is more. I am not sure how I feel about this. I used to be a server, but our tips were a built in percentage (18% I believe) and then they were pooled and split between all the servers. Not sure that was the best way either, but it also was a country club and not a traditional restaurant, so things were different. Anyway, I like the idea for when you give crazy good service to a table and then they turn around and give you $5 on a $100 check, but will service be as good? I would love to see how this works out in the end!
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
