I'm still here

Jeez Louise, it has been almost a month to the day since I last posted. My blog is still a newborn and already I am neglecting it. Just like I do in The Sims...

Anyway, much has been happening.

On the home front, Eric and I both had terrible, awful colds at the beginning of the month. I wore myself out running around, and eventually it got the better of me and I had to stay in bed for three days. Eric had mid terms and finals while he was sick. But he really is the epitome of awesome, because he got all A's.

On the baking front, I had my first wedding consultation with one of my coworkers sisters. It was wildly successful. I am so happy to be making cupcakes for their big day. And I couldn't ask for nicer people to have for my first wedding clients. In addition to cupcakes, I am also making a small wedding cake for them to cut for photos and whatnot. This means brushing up on my fondant skills, so there has been lots of practice there. I made a few new cupcakes for them to try out, and I will be posting those soon.

On the job front I have my most exciting news. I applied for a higher position, and they made me an off, which I happily accepted. This new position includes salaried pay instead of hourly, and also four weeks of vacation a year. This is a big improvement over what I have now. This feels like such a grown up job. My goal was to be in this position by the time I was 27, so I ended up two years early. To say I am stoked is an understatement. The only downside is that I am not sure where I will be working yet. I have been assigned a district that is absolutely huge, and includes my home town.  Upside, seeing my family. Downside, actually moving back there and having nothing to do except go to The Walmart. Not Walmart, but The Walmart. Things are very, very up in the air right now, which takes me way outside of my comfort zone, but it is all very exciting at the same time.

Coming soon, two new recipes and perhaps cake pops.

Oh the one other thing. I finally saw Black Swan, like a year later. I am an old lady who hates kids these days and they are always out in droves at the movies, or the talkies, as I call them. It reminded me of Carrie with more lesbians,and less talk of dirty pillows. Also, I have not seen Avatar, but recently a friend described it as being exactly like Fern Gully, only the blue people rape everything with their braid/tails. Now I feel like I have seen it without having given up three hours of my life. I win!
