It finally happened and I can hardly believe it. I finally landed a new job which means finally leaving the cafe. When I started as a server I had it in mind that this would be temporary.

Coloring Lessons
Resigned at 29 is officially 30! For my birthday, my sister bought me one of those adult coloring books.
