My blog search results tell me that someone found my blog via “blond american babe Amsterdam”.
You’ve found me!
I may not be so “blonde”, and the “babe” is debatable since I’m plus 30 now, but damnit I’m American and I’m in The Amsterdam. Close enough, hey?
After my last post, I wrote that I would let everyone know how my diary reading went. You can stop holding your breath now.
It went well! I stood in front of one hundred and thirty five people (yes, I counted the seats) and I didn’t shit myself! And people laughed when they should have, and listened when they should have, and overall it just went as well as I had hoped it would.
It was a great night, I loved everyone’s stories and I was on such a high afterwards that I kept asking my friends, “What did you think? Was I funny?” and that lasted about, ooooh ten seconds before they were rolling their eyes like, “Yes, yes you were funny, people laughed, get over yourself”.
Nothing like friends to keep you grounded!
I hope to do more with Paulien, Micha and Kevin in the future, but more on that if and when it ever comes around. In the meantime, it’s back to the every day hotel grind that is my life.
I didn’t write this before, but I am now the Events Manager at Hotel V. Which means I throw parties! Best job ever. This position brings me into contact with so many interesting people- I love it. I didn’t think it was possible to love a job like this, but the hotel just keeps getting better.
But don’t tell them I told you that, they don’t need the extra leverage, know what I’m saying?

Congrats, Events Manager!!
We share a profession now, right?
Sure do! You’re on the other side — I work with the hotels, so I would work with you. Bet your job is more fun, though! Haha Government isn’t all that exciting.
