Life.

Today is a great day to start something new. A new attitude, a new lifestyle, a new life. I am not getting enough hours at work so I will be going out on the town today with my resume in hand. You might think I'm crazy for trying to find a new job while in the midst of planning a wedding. I do too! However, it's been clearly stated that I need to do something about not working so I will conquer that bull too. I am feeling torn in many directions, however, with school finally being done I have more time available to bring in some coin.

I am also doing the baking for the tea at the wedding. Yesterday was fun and I was able to scratch off 5 items off my list. I think I only have 12 or so more things to make, 2 of which can't be made until the week of the wedding. I love to bake, and I love to watch peoples faces and hear their comments (as if I came up with the recipe..haha...yeah right, I just know how to read and follow instructions).

I also decided to make the wedding cake myself. I may need the grooms help in constructing the cake topper, but the baking part I'm going to be doing myself :) Talk about a project. It will be interesting to say the least.

Let's see, what else can I tell you? Oh, right I started working out with my brother's girlfriend last week. We did one session of a 20 minute bootcamp and lets just say I forgot how much that guy makes you sweat! haha. What fun. Within 20 minutes we had done more than 100 pushups (when i first started last year I could hardly do 10). We did countless burpees, and these weird jumping jack things in the form of a pushup. Do I have to say we were doing our upperbody workout? And 2 days later my arms are still sore to move. haha. It's a good sore though. You would think that we were dead after that workout but we decided to go for a 20km bike ride afterwards. So not only were our upperbody's sore, but our bums and legs too.

Yesterday I was running back into the house for something and thinking I was cutting corners by opening the garage to run in rather than turn off my car and use the key to open the front door I tripped going up the stairs and landed on my left foot and my left wrist. I scraped my ankle and my toe beside the big toe got really banged up (huge purple bruise surrounding a cut) and my wrist was all red for the remainder of the night. Talk about being clumsy. I am just glad no one saw that. As I limped into the house, holding back the tears, I climbed up the stairs to my room and grabbed the one thing I had gone back into the house for.

That's been my last few days in a nutshell. Please pray for me as I am stretching myself into many directions and as I search for a job for the summer time with a needing of 3 weeks off.

What kind of employment you looking for?

What is your cake going to look like? What does the topper look like?
Do you need to borrow a wedding cake knife and wedding cake serving spoon?

I'm just looking for something that will give me hours in the next few weeks, doesn't really matter but has to be understanding of 3 weeks off pretty much right away. Grr...life.


The cake is going to be interesting. It's 3 tiers. And very creative. I can't say the topper (that's a surprise)
