the other day they were handing out these t-shirts to everyone who worked during the "ice-storm". i just thought y'all would get a kick out of it =)
also just another picture of a cake i did this past weekend.
also, i am getting a new computer, hopefully tomorrow. i dropped this laptop and the screen cracked and it is so annoying to have to look at the screen with big black blotches on it. i am very excited to get a new laptop!!! yeah!!
so i have beeen told that i don't talk enough about just stuff. so i will talk about stuff.. =) so i am watching the amazing race allstars. and let me tell you that I LOVE Rob and Amber. "Boston Rob" was first seen in Survivor, i don't remember what season. i fell in love with him right away, even though he is a jerk and lies and everything, but i think he played one of the best games of survivor I have ever seen. he got kicked off pretty early, but everyone hated him so much he came back for Survovor Allstars, there he played the same kind of game, but got really ahead. he also fell in love with amber. at the end, he came in second place and she won survivor allstars. they got married and then they were on amazing race. where i was still in love with him. i know i know, annie and april and grandma laugh at me and they hate him. but they won the show, so now they are back and so far they are winning, so that is what i am doing right now. WAIT.....now rob and amber are all of a sudden losing...AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! i am gonna be so upset if they lose!!! you have NO idea. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i can't believe it....i am completely awestruck.
so has anyone been watching american idol?? who does everyone like?? i like the beatboxing guy
i am trying to go to Houston in a couple weeks to see Wicked. that is the closest place that it is coming, that i can get to. I am also planning on going to HOuston in a couple months to see my CARDINALS beat the astros...=)
so i know you are all wondering about the picture. haa ha they guys in the kitchen all came in this morning with fake mustaches. it was hilarious. they had handlebar, hitler, caterpillar, a long grey one. they were so fun. the picture is of jose, he is the banquet sous chef and his mustache is totally fake. he wore it ALL day!! then he found the cowboy hat in the office and decided to wear that also. it wasa fun day in the main kitchen. k. miss you all
hey everyone. I have been extremely busy lately. my boss gave his two weeks notice a month ago and quit. so now i am running the pastry shop for two hotels. they are in the process of looking for a new executive pastry chef, but until then it is very stressful. i have been working 6 days a week 12-14 hours a day. i am TIRED!!
so i did this wedding cake last week. the lady is russian and she wanted a hot pink wedding cake. so i gave her a pink wedding cake, and i think it turned out pretty well.
i keep hearing how cold it is in st louis, well, i am tan down here in texas cause it is cold at night but warm and sunny during the day, so when i have time i have been sitting on my back porch in the sun. it is so nice =) hee hee hee
i miss you all!!!
this is hilarious!! ok, so San Antonions are a little scared of ice. it had been raining for days, and then the cold front that hit the rest of the country hit texas and all heck broke loose. they closed down schools over just the idea of ice. entire highways were completely shut down. and i mean SHUT DOWN. you could not get on hwy 281 for 2 days. highway 10 from houston to san antonio was closed. roads were closed, stores were closed. employees were even asked to stay over at work for the night, just so they would be at work the next morning. this was monday. today is thursday and there are still some schools that are starting late or not even having school. people down here are CRAZY!!! i saw a little, very little bit of ice on the road. the trees got ice, but that is about it. so, everyone freaks out over nothing. there is sand everywhere. as far as i know, they don't even have salt trucks. the funniest thing i saw was at work. out in fron of the lobby on tues morning tthere was salt on the steps. there is nothing wrong with that, right? well, its really strange when it is table salt... i know, crazy texans don't even have rock salt. they could have at least used kosher salt, but whatever. now it is 42 degrees outside and things are getting back to normal, i think.
Hi everyone!!
I know, I know, it has been FOREVER!! and a TON has happened since my last post!
So, as a lot of you already know, i did not make it to Las Vegas like i had hoped. i did however make it to San Antonio, Texas. Yeah! i love texas. so i am working at the Omni La Mansion Del Rio hotel in downtown. I am the Pastry Sous Chef of two properties both Omni and right across the river from each other. it is a ton of work, but it is very fun. I love everyone i work with. they are fun and outgoing and very nice.
one of the big things that i don't like is that i have to work on Sundays so i don't get to attend a church down here. i did go christmas eve and the service at Redeemer Pres is much like ours at home and they are all very nice. i thnk that people in texas are just nice.
the first picture is of the hotel i work at. the second is of the wedding cake i just made for. it is not the first wedding cake i have ever made, but it is the first one i have ever made that is actually for someone. so i was really nervous while making it.
I miss st louis and chicago. SA is completely different than sstl or chi-town. but it is growing on me.
so, i PROMISE to start blogging more!!! ttfn
please pray for me. i am in the process of looking for a job for when i am finished being an intern. i am thinking very seriously about a prominent resort in Las Vegas decorating wedding cakes. it is totally up in the air with many big steps still, but you never know. love you all
i have been horrible, sorry guys. i have been so busy at work that i just have no time to acutally blog. i know people are wondering what is going on with me. well...i am working A LOT!!!!!!! my internet is down...again. and i just don't have time to come to the apple store all the time and update my blog. =( i know i have been a bad friend and everything else. i really don't have all that much interesting going on in my life right now.
dad and jeffrey came up to visit me over their spring break. they went to museums and stuff. we went to the top of the john hancock building to take pics and stuff. i HATE elevators. this one went 20 mph and flew up 96 stories in 40 seconds. your ears pop like crazy. we took some great pictures and stuff. this is one of the better ones. it was a cloudy day and you couldn't see too far, but it was fun. mom came up the week after for a whole week. that was really fun. she was taking a gemology class and she had fun. we went out to eat and we also went to the top of the hancock...but we didn't have to pay. we went and had drinks in the signature room/lounge. it was a nice clear day and you could see forever. i took the train home with mom for easter weekend. it was a nice weekend, pretty relaxing. then i had an AWFUL flight back. first of all, i hate to fly, more than i hate elevators. and it was stormy and really bad weather in chicago. my flight was supposed to leave stl at 920pm. it was delayed till 1110pm. then we got on the plane and we were still waiting on the pilot who was flying in on another flight. our flight itself was bumpy and horrible. i was almost in tears. i seriously do not like planes. we finally landed at a little past midnight. i would normally then take the orange line el into the city. i walked out of the airport towards the el, and...they close it at midnight. i started sobbing and i just couldn't stop. it was bad. i walked back into the airport, still crying. and i thought ok, i will take a shuttle, they are much cheaper than cabs. but no, the shuttles don't run that late at night. so i had to take a cab. it cost almost $40. more crying on the cab ride home. by the time i got home it was 1am. i had to get up for work at about 430am. i got no sleep and had to work all day. it was not a good night or day for me... =)
ok, so that is about all that is going on in my life right now. well, i never want to fly again, but..i have to in july. i have to fly to phoenix for the world pastry forum. the forum will be awesome, but the flight is 3.5hrs long, i haven't had to fly for that long since i was 12 and came to visit grandma...oh well. that is still a while away, so i won't think about it now. =)
love you all!!!!!!
