Hi y’all! My name is Seida Bacon, and I’m just pleased as punch that you found me here! I’m gonna tell you all about me and “my peeps” as my nephew says, so get somethin’ refreshin and put your feet up…
About Seida
I have worked as a waitress in diners all my life. I have now been at The Grenada Diner in the Lakewood section of Dallas, Texas for more than 20 years. I worked in several other diners, cafes and coffeehouses before I landed at the Grenada. I did get my high school diploma, and was all set to go to college… I even took a few courses at one of the community colleges in Dallas. I wanted my own career, and was learning to be a secretary (hey, it was the early 1970′s, and my options were limited.) But I soon found that I needed to work more at the diner to make enough money, and I eventually quit taking classes. But that is not to say I gave up! I love my job… it may not be as glamorous as Nashville, but it suits me fine. I earn a good living, and get to meet lots of interesting people.
I was born in Kaufman County, Texas (near Terrell) on October 31. I am not embarrassed to tell you that I am 55 years old. I think I look darned good for my age! I met my husband Bobby Earl Bacon in high school… more about him down below. Earl and I have been separated now for about 12 years… there’s a blog post or two about that. But we still aren’t technically divorced. That’s how I keep an eye on him. And after Earl, I never wanted to marry again anyway.
I like Country Music, especially the good ole’ classics like Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams and such. I also like to travel around… mostly in Texas, although I did go up to see what all the fuss was about Cape Cod earlier this year. It was like going to a different country altogether!
I’m not very computer savvy, but my nephew Chad is teaching me all about that. I have a Facebook Page and a Facebook Fan Page, you can follow me on Twitter (whatever the hell that is!), and watch me on YouTube, too. I’m also very proud to own my own business, the BACON BITS BOUTIQUE which is a showcase of some designs I thought up. Send me email here.
