Today I came to the realization that my love of alliteration stems from the fact that my first and middle name both start with M.
It's always nice to learn something new about yourself.

Practical Christianity
Working on Sundays is the absolute worst day of the week. In my opinion, it should be the best. But every person in the food industry dreads this day. And its not from just a general busyness, but the fact that Sunday customers are the worst kind.
By Sunday customers, I am referring to the church goers.
If Christianity were lived out the way it suppose to be, in theory, shouldn't Sunday customers be the ones that restaurtants look forward to the most? Shouldn't they be eager to see regulars who take the time to know their name, ask about their lives instead of gripping about their own? Shouldn't they be amazed by how polite and kind Sunday customers are?
Shouldn't tips on Sunday be overwhelmingly generous? That is the biggest complaint I overhear from employees. Christians are notoriously stingy. Maybe these Christians feel they have done their good deed for the day by writing their weekly 10% check to the church. Screw the rest of the world. They are secular heathens, best to save our money for something worthwhile. Like my retirement fund.
Yeah, because that's definitely what the Bible teaches. /sarcasm
So here's a practical, entirely mundane suggestion: be generous. As a Christian, everyone is watching you and judging. Go above and beyond, impress them. It's not like you can take your money with you in the end anyway.

Spare Time
I don't live a very exciting life. In fact, when someone asks me what I do in my spare time, they usually receive a blank stare in response. Spare time...I have plenty of it, but somehow it keeps sneaking away from me.
I think the problem is that I'm a dabbler. There, I said it. I dabble. It's a problem and it only lends to my short attention sp-- chocolate sounds so good all of a sudden.
What were we talking about? Oh right, nothing in particular.
Current hobby obsession: crochet. This particular dabble has stuck around for about 5 years, so I'm actually becoming fairly proficient in it. My latest project embodies the current love of my life, the Doctor.
Everything a girl really needs. Water, check. Pretzels, check. Speedy transportation, check. The Doctor, check. All the makings for a good day. As it turns out, being the Doctor's companion is quite exciting. I'm constantly saving him from near disaster.
[in lovely British accent] Help! The shopping avalanche has collapsed! The ood warned me of this!
Right, so, taking ridiculous pictures of my crochet creations is what I do in my spare time. When I'm not watching the actual Doctor Who. Or blogging.
