ok. so this post is all about me venting about the insane people that i have to deal with when they come into the bakery. most of the time i love working up front with people, helping them decide on their perfect cake. BUT there are those just crazy, stupid people that i just want to scream at.
they say the craziest things. example: " i would gain300 lbs. if i worked here!!" " why aren't YOU 400 lbs?!?" " this would be the best job EVER!!!". " do you watch ace of cakes? cause i love that show."... to that i reply. " you would gain 300 lbs because you have NO SELF CONTROL!!. " i am not 400 lbs. because i have the will power to not eat everything in sight." " yes i watch that show,i think its stupid and no i will not talk to you about it." and even though i do love my job there are perks and cons to every job just like this one. :whew:
sometimes i don't think people understand the life of a pastry chef. all the trial and error that we do every week. worrying about what people think of our product. if they like the look and the taste. did we say the right thing. people assume that we just sit on our butts all day and eat cake. WELL. i will be the first to tell you that the only time i'm sitting is to eat my lunch. and though i am surrounded by cake all day it gets old after awhile. infact i really don't eat much cake or cookies anymore. i don't crave cake like everyone else. for me i crave a huge steak with potatoes and a salad. haha. i have a sweet tooth for sure. but i know how to control it. thats the most important thing. self control.
well. i'm glad thats out of me now :)

ben folds equals love on the piano.
mmm..so i think today is going to be one lazy sunday afternoon where i do nothing at all. this past week we were really busy at work which was a great thing since the weeks go by so much faster when i'm doing something. PLUS. my boss gave a little spring bonus.NICE. so right now i'm wearing my brand new nike tennis shoes. oh yes.
yesterday was quite the day. mike came down and we went to a ben folds concert in indy. it was an amazing time. but i wish we just had more time. last night we didn't sleep much because we were trying to figure out if it would work for us to date each other. i hate hate hate this complicated relationships. i had finally decided to just keep my mouth shut, but then he started the converstation. so i guess now we know we both like each other, but the timing just isn't right. its hard because last night we both just wanted to move foward and become something, but trying to make a relationship work now just would not be good. so for now we are still and will be just good friends like we've always been. which i'm fine with. i actually am glad that i wont have to deal with a relationship this summer. but why am i feeling such a ache in my heart right now? being with him just feels right.

no pressure. just don't screw up.
first. its already march!!!! where is this time going?!? i seriously can not believe that i've already been in kokomo for almost a year now. anyways...
so life has been flying by and i figured i'd get a few things out of my head while i can. february was a month of travling:
a few weeks ago my family went to cancun for a wonderful vacation and it sure gave me the vacaction bug. i loved the time in the sun and just relaxing and exploring new things. everytime my family does something we always go around and ask what our favorite parts were. for me it was definitely the bus rides into the city. what a way to see a different world. i love feeling like i'm not some crazy, rich, sun-bathed tourist. i would also have to say that eating amazing mexican and italian food was a big highlight. :)
from cancun we then went to kansas for a weekend. my grandma had passed away on valentines day so last weekend the whole family got together in hesston for her memorial. it was such a bittersweet weekend, yet exhausting. to get away from it all i made a few trips to the college to see some friends in which i realized how early i go to bed now. but it was so good to see everyone.
and now its march! this weekend i'll be in control of the entire shop!!! my boss and her husband are going on vacation and so from thursday to saturday i'll be on my own. i've done it before but this weekend i'll actually have projects to complete. this evening i had my own little freak out moment along with this horrible " i'm going to barf up my stomach" feeling. no pressure right?. i know i can do it. i know the projects and i know that everything will be ok. but everytime i just can't get over it. i wish i could just let it go. but i know that i'll probably be dealing with this stress as life goes on. and i think thats a good thing. to me i see it as a way of knowing that i care and that i want to do the best at what i do for a living. does that make sense. ? haha.
well. i'm tired. its 8:00 and i think i'm going to go to bed. goodnight.
