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
