May's Best Bits

As the end of each month comes to its close, I try to think back to what I thought were the best parts to write this little monthly post. Well I started thinking yesterday, and again today, and I still have nothing great! I guess May was really a non-event type month for me. It seems as if majority of what I did was work, either at both of my regular jobs or at Uni! And if I sat down to crunch the numbers, I'm pretty sure they would support my proposition.


I did take two nights off the bar to celebrate the birthdays of two of my dearest friends. We ate dinner in cute backyard restaurants in the city and I drank a few too many Lychee Mojitos! Although I was a little late because I had to work, I always enjoy my time spent with these wonderful friends. The other two weekends were spent making new friends at my bar! I have some regular customers now and they truly make my night go much faster! They have been super flexible in their drink orders and place their trust in my drink mixing abilities each week. I'll have to step up my game and think of something great for this weekend's shift!


Whenever I had a small window of alone time in May I picked up my copy of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones. Yes, I realise that I am several years behind on this read. But the truth is, I was never inclined to read it because I knew about the content. One day though, I saw it in a second hand store and thought about reading it again. It has taken me much longer to get through than most books. Not because I think it's bad or anything, I actually think it's written beautifully (especially from a young, first time author). Its just that the content is just a little unconventional to me... While the first chapters were incredibly hard to get through, I can see now that it offers much more than the idea of a brutally murdered teenage girl going to heaven. I only have a few chapters to go, so hopefully I can finish it before I have to put all non-law related reads aside in preparation for my final exams.

Hopefully June has much more to offer! What was your favorite part of May?

A Night Off




I know it's almost midweek, but I thought I'd share some moments from the weekend anyway... On Saturday night I was lucky enough to score a night off the bar! For the first time this month I was on the side with the patrons, celebrating a birthday with some of my favourite ladies.

We definitely made the most of the night, and even got a little bit silly! In the midst of it all, I even divulged the secret ingredients of an amazingly fruity drink I have been making at my bar! Luckily enough I made friends with a lovely bartender who shared some of his great creations with me in exchange!

For anyone who wants to try something new... Order Absolute Peach Vodka, with Passion Fruit Cocktail Flavoring and muddled lime, topped with Lemonade. Mmmmmm!


Overall it was a great night. A sole contender for the highlight of my weekend! I'm looking forward to my next night off... whenever it may be.

What was the highlight of your weekend?
