My best friend? Lady Luck..

I've been telling anyone who will listen about my blog at 7-11, and I believe it's starting too stick;) It's like this, I've finally found the thing that I enjoy most, and i'm good at it..WRITING. My friend asked me the other day ""Who taught you how to write?" I had to think about that for a second, and then I remembered something my father told me a long time ago.."Son, it's very important that you learn to be legible in your writing." My father was an old banker in Kansas. In his spare time? He was an avid writer.

I got my first complaint about the blog today..It really wasn't a complaint..This lady friend of mine comes in and tells me she read it. I asked her what she thought, and she told me this. "It's all about women and luck. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy it, but maybe you could write about other stuff. I'm sure you see it all at 7-11." My reply? "It's hard for a single heterosexual guy not to think about women in Las Vegas. Cut me a little slack.."

After she left, I started thinking about what she said. Maybe I have been focussed a little too much on the women factor in Las Vegas? I'm thinking that the blog should be more about the 'people factory' aspect of 7-11. If any of my readers in Las Vegas have an idea about a blog post that they want too share with me. Let's have lunch! Until that happens, i'm going to stick with the women.

I've seen this girl a number of times, and she always gets the same thing. Bottled water, apples, yogurt. This fine specimen is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! I always try to act cool, when I wait on her. Believe me! My heart was about to beat out of my chest..She makes her way through the line, and I ask her how her day was. She smiles and tells me "Fine." I told myself what the hell? and then I ask her what her name is? She just smiled and said "Lilly." The only thing I could think of saying was:) "Lilly, what a nice name." Right after she walks out the door, I hear my favorite words at 7-11.."Royal Flush." One of the regulars at the machine had hit again. Man, I think good luck is contageous with these girls in Las Vegas..This was the third time in two weeks that a player hit a Royal Flush, right after an amazingly beautiful women walked out the door. Did I mention I love my job?
