So heres what I've been up to for the past few months.

Hung out with sweet lil peas a while ago


Been working a shit ton. Here we are doing a cooking class at The Ronald McDonald House to benefit the Children's Hospital and RMH.


I make a mess as usual


When I first got my job, before I moved back to San Diego, my boss was awesome enough to let me stay at her house while I looked for a place to live. I have to admit looking out of my window every morning and seeing this:

didn't help motivate me to look for an apartment.
Its right by the Torrey Pines gliderport so there were always people flying by. Id usually wave at them and say "hi." I actually walked there one day via the beach and cliff.










The view from the edge of the property. There were always surfers parking (and changing ) on the street.

My boss' garden overlooking the water. I loved coming out here on my lunch break or after work and eating tomatoes.







and raspberries!


moar tomatoes! there are seriously a ridiculous amount and variety of tomato and pepper plants in the garden which I absolutely loved.








and oceans of basil!


brussel sprouts.


mmmmmmmelon


and gorgeous flowers everywhere


I brought Eleanor by the house once and she seemed to dig it.
Needless to say, I miss that house.

We finally opened our doors at the lounge. Business has been fairly steady. Weekdays are a little slow but weekends pick up and we still have a lot of catering orders.
My hands are really feeling the effects of all this work. I think it might be tendonitis. So I've been icing and taking ibuprofen. My boss has been really nice and given me my days off all together so I can get rest although unfortunately it hasnt seemed to help much. I can't really afford to stop working and I'm afraid thats what I might need. I really should see a doctor about it I suppose. Insurance might help....
No benefits from work yet but we're hoping in the future they will be able to offer them. Its not really anything I can't work through most of the time but nobody wants to be in pain all the time.

Had the work holiday party last night at the boss' house. Fully catered and DJ'd. Some of us bakers did a secret santa which was awesome. All the dogs (boss has 5, plus I brought Maisy and another baker brought her chihuahua) were in holiday garb. Sweaters and/or bell collars. My boss' chihuahua and the other baker's chihuahua were both wearing Santa outfits. Pretty freakin cute. The party got pretty awesome. My boss always says "anything worth doing, is worth doing in excess," and boy is she ever good at that. She was standing on the coffee table singing Warren G and Nate Dogg at one point. It was pretty awesome.
There are pictures of course, but I seem to have left my camera at her house. oops.
Pics will be posted soon.

Well I have to scoot off to work. Those cupcakes wont bake themselves!
