My name is Erika.  I like running and painting landscapes. My favorite food is meat and pizza. I like my pizza with extra cheese and thick crust. I just started a new job. I am working as a painter.  My company creates landscape murals for people's homes. I want to paint a mural for my friend's new restaurant.
I am a grill cook. I have only one job.I am saving up so I can open a small restaurant. I like to run. I want to cook New York style Italian food in my restaurant.  I want to get an Italian mural painted inside the restaurant. I am about 8 months away from having enough money to open a restaurant. I am looking at a place for my restaurant that is 5 miles away from where I live.
I helped to paint a mural yesterday that was beside a vacant restaurant that would be perfect for your restaurant.  Oh really? Is it in a decent neighborhood with good traffic? Yes, the neighborhood is becoming very popular, more and more retail stores and restaurants are coming in. It is right on the main strip going through town. Okay, be sure to send me the details. I've been looking for an up and coming neighborhood. I want to be part of the development of the city. Then this spot would be perfect, I will make sure to send you the details. How is your current job going? It's been going great although I am very tired. I've been putting in serious overtime trying to earn enough for my restaurant. Do you still think you are about 8 months away from having enough money? I actually spoke with the city this morning about some business development grants that they're offering to first time business owners. It seems that I qualify, and the money doesn't have to be paid back. That will help move my startup date by six months. Oh wow, so you need to find a location quick. I can't wait to come try out your restaurant when it is open! Sure, I would love that. Naturally, I would use you for the mural in my restaurant. You might even be able to help me by tasting my menu choices and helping me narrow them down. Of course, I would love that. Have you started planning your menu? Yeah, my specialty will be New York style thin crust pizza, along with some other Italian staples. I've got a lot of old authentic family recipes to borrow from.
