SICK

I don't complain much...Ok maybe I do but this time I really do have a good reason. I'm sick and not just have the sniffles sick....full blown sick. So I thought I would tell you all the things I hate about being sick. That should make me feel better. :)








1. I hate how my nose is stuffy, but only one side at a time

2. I hate how I don't fall asleep until literally 20 minutes before my alarm goes off

3. I hate how I feel like I'm trying to move under water with weights strapped to me

4. I hate how badly my muscles, bones and joints hurt

5. I hate how sensitive my skin is

6. I hate how the previous two make a hot shower a curse and a blessing, while soothing my aches, it torchers my skin...especially when drying off.

7. I hate having the seal cough

8. I hate how load everything is

9. I hate how badly my head hurts

10. I hate that I have to go the potty every two second cause I'm drinking water like its going out of style.

11. I hate the fever chills

12. I hate how I have to much to do at work and the fact that I'm the only one in the office for the next two days, so I can't take off. And even if wanted to I need to save my time in case Juliet gets sick!



Ok. I'm sure there is more but I'm done for now. Feel free to add your hates to the list.....go on do it. Makes you feel better!

cake class

This last Thursday was my very first time teaching the Wilton Cake Decorating class.

I signed up about a month ago, which was perfect because the previous instructor was moving. I got all my supplies in the mail. I watched the training video (which I have to say I was very disappointed in - it looked like it was made in the late 80's out of someones living room.....um aren't you a multi-million dollar company? but we'll save that for another day). I prepared everything the night before and right after work drove up there to set up.

Ok I'm pretty ok in a crowd, I like talking to people, I can make a good joke here and there....but when you have to teach something? that's a whole nother story! I just about pee'd myself I was so nervous! I had five ladies there that night. Two had called me earlier that day and said they would miss the first class. so I have seven students all together.

I start off my introducing myself, having everyone else say a little something about what they want out of the class and on to teaching.

I talked for one hour and forty-five minutes, then I took them down the Wilton isle and had them shop. (side note: I LOVE retail! I'm good at it! so this part was super fun for me).

I was able to answer their questions, suggest better ways for the things they were having difficulty doing and I know they walked away excited about the class. I even had one girl ask if we could move the class up to Friday, cause she didn't think she could wait a week to learn more. Another lady asked me what shop I owned and when I explained that I don't own a shop yet but would like to someday, she said I talk and carry myself like I have been doing this for years and already have a shop.

So needless to say, it went wonderfully! I'm very excited and can't wait to do it this Thursday!


Yay me!

quick update

I have been super sick for the last few days. I left work early on Friday and was out Monday and Tuesday. I'm at work today but we'll see how long I last...

I have my last writing class tonight! I'm excited because we are going to be able to publish some of our short stories. How fun is that!

I also start teaching my cake decorating class this Thursday. Super nervous and super excited. but I want to start it and get it going!

I signed Juliet up for Gymnastics. She goes every Tuesday for an hour and absolutely loves it. She can't wait to go again!

Well, life is life right now. Jason is driving, I'm working and Juliet is growing. So what else can I say. hehe.

Cake Class

So I am officially the new cake decorating instructor at Micheal's. My first class starts on June 11th and frankly I'm scared out of my mind! I'm excited too but more scared at this point. haha.



So since some of you have asked and frankly I like to show off what I can do, here are a few cakes that I have decorated in the classes I've taken over the last 16 weeks.

Basket weave cake - the class came just in time for Easter. :) I not only did the basket weave, but I also made all of those flowers and the bird out of Royal Icing...

Here's a close up of the flowers and notice how smooth the top of the cake is.....all me baby! :)

And here is a Package cake (looks like a present. hehe) and the tiered cake with more flowers made by yours truly.

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to turn it. haha.

And here is a pic of the cake I did on my last class. I love this one! its one of my favorite. It even looked cute when it was cut into! :)

(usually dont' have that much filling in the middle.....don't know what happened with that one. haha. could be the fact that I put it together around midnight the night before. hehe)

This one, I did for my friends daughters birthday. I kinda thought it was cute.
It's a jewelry box. the lid is a slab of melted white chocolate!

She loved it!

Well those are just a few. I have done three weddings, countless birthdays, special occasions and a couple of graduations. I'm looking forward to getting into baby showers, more wedding and so on and hopefully one day be good enough to do this for a living. I absolutely love it!

Let me know what you all think.....I want real critiques! I can take it.

Memorial Day Weekend.

Well I did a lot and nothing at all...haha. Ever have one of those weekends? :)

I cleaned my house...twice but it still looks a mess!
I potted some seedlings that where starting to get to big for the starter kit I started last week.
We went to the store.
I played my on-line game.
Went to a BBQ.
Took a nap.
Went to church.
and caught up on some of my shows.


not in that order but all around it was a nice relaxing but busy weekend. Loved the extra day off! Wouldn't mind having another. :) Really wanted to go to the movies but just didn't' have the energy or the money for it. Maybe next week!.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I also hope we all remembered what it was truly about!

Anohter midnight showing.

Yes, I went to another midnight showing. This time it was The Terminator.

It was super good. Not as good as Star Trek...but still Awesome!

I have a wicked fear of machines and robots. If they are to big or can do to much on their own...they make me skittish. Its an irrational fear, I know but its there. So several times during the movie it freaked me out because the machines were sooooo big.

Hope you get to see it and enjoy it as much as we did!

um YUUUM

We went to the store yesterday. Jason needed supplies before he went back out for three weeks and we needed to get some milk, cereal and other various food stuffs. :)

While waiting for Jason to pick out some bread I wondered down the other end of the isle and there on the end was the most amazing thing I think I have seen in a while (well regarding new food stuff) You know that magic shell ice-cream topping? well 1) YUUUM!!!!! and 2) they have a new flavor......

wait for it....

wait for it.....

CUPCAKE!!!!!!!

Oh my heavens, I broke down and bought it along with a small tub-o-ice-cream and it was sooooo yuuummy!!!!!! I would highly recommend it!. Its just wonderful.....I wonder what it would taste like on birthday cake ice-cream? hmmm.
