In other news, I really want to fire a girl at work but I think shes acting up so we will fire her and she can file for unemployment. So I'm just going to cut back her hours and make work really shitty for her so she quits. Im through being nice to her. Mean? maybe, but you have no idea what she has been putting us through.I really do love my job but lately Ive been dreading work if Im working with her
Just a few more weeks of summer.
Did you have a good one?
What is your fondest memory of this summer?
my best friend got married and I was her maid of honor. It was a very nice wedding and a lot of fun.
and, i didnt have to wear a hideous dress
she was such a pretty bride
Stuff I want for my birthday:
- a gym membership
- health insurance!
- a hair cut
- new chef pants
I don't know what i want to do for my birthday though. I have to work all weekend anyway.
Work is going well. I'm trying to make some new specials. I made an Irish car bomb cupcake (chocolate stout cake, whiskey ganache, and a "shot" of baileys frosting on top) but people were a little overwhelmed by it and it didnt sell. The owner thought it was great though, but alas if the customers dont buy it, we wont keep making it. The mojito cupcake I made yesterday did sell out though, but Im not sure if it was because people really liked it or if it was because we had few cupcakes out. I thought it was yummy. Lime cake with a lime and mint frosting with a hint of rum.
If you could have any kind of cupake right now, what would it be?
I have been uber busy. So, a lot has been going on. I'm now the head baker at my work but I really don't think that means much since everyone there knows what theyre doing and needs little instruction. I guess I'm just a final desicion maker and I'll be taking responsibility for stuff. Thats fine with me. I dont like to be thought of as a boss, but I like the responsibility. I certainly dont like bossing people around so Im fotunate to work with competent people. I do have to start trying recipes for the cafe. Quiches, scones, biscuits, sammiches, salads, dressings, muffins, cookies. weee!!!! I'm going to try to start that this week. I've had a hectic month and haven't spent any of my days off at home resting like I should. Now that I've spent the last two days doing that, I think I'll be recharged for work. yay!
Heres what I've been up to for the last few weeks:
San Diego Comic Con!
worked the SG booth at comic con and it was the best con ever! We had a great booth and tons of awesome girls were there. I got to meet Meow, Vivid, Troa, Squeak, Dice, Bob, and Sin (
!!!!!!!!). And I was able to see Coley, Dino, Sash, Chloe, Rigel, Antigone, James, Nixon, Missy and Jorie again pics!!!!
The following week, we were kinda busy at work. It was Fiesta Week in Santa Barbara which means they block off main streets downtown, have a parade and basically have a freaky huge party for days. We helped the celebration by making mini cupcakes. LOTS OF THEM:
peeeekshuuuuuures!!!
I believe we made about 2,000 minis that day. weeee!!!!
margarita minis
mexican hot chocolate minis
red velvet minis
moar minis!!!!!
sarah, the (former *sniffle*) head baker and I practice for our sears portraits
Thats it for now. I will be adding pictures of the Bachelorette party and Wedding in a jiffy, but i want to get this up before anything happens to it. 
I just went to Comic Con. I had a great time, but now Im back home and reminded of all the crap Im dealing with right now. Still its nice to be back in my apartment with my girls.
Money is really tight. Ill be lucky if I have enough for rent and bills this month. Plus, I'm pretty sure somebody whom I care for A LOT, now wants nothing to do with me. Thats actually worse than the money thing.
I took many pictures, which I will upload later. Im drained.
In about a week, I'll be the head baker. Im happy to have the promotion and yet another raise but I will miss the current head baker so fuckin much. She is so awesome.
I have bachelorette party to throw this Friday. Im trying to come up with stuff but Im at a loss so I'm feeling pretty lame. Any suggestions for activities?
what do you do to feel better when you feel like dirt?
sooo.....
I love my job
after 2 weeks I was given a raise and promoted to assistant head baker.
When the cafe opens, the head baker will be in charge there and I will become head baker.
I love my apartment. Its small but its all mine, and now that I have internet, its even better. I've made some friends at work which I'm really happy about. We go out after work and have drinks and play pool. Good times.
I need to get a doggy door so maisy can go out on the patio during the day when Im gone. Oh, and my hammock fits perfectly on my patio. Its wonderful.
Today I will also be going to the eye doctor to get glasses. Im not sure how i feel about it yet, but I do need them. I also get a fridge today finally, thanks to the awesomeness of Burgerslut
And yesterday, i got another session done on my sleeve!!! Nate started my upper arm and I fucking love it. I can't wait for it to be done!
Thats all for now. I have to get back to my chat addiction
big long freaking update. fereals. you'd better get yourself a snack for this one...
I really dont like updating much, to be honest because I know I like to spend a good amount of time properly catching up. But now as I sit here with kleenex stuffed up my right nostril, all bundled up against the harsh 57 degree weather.... I figure I have some down time to update.
I got a cold. bah! the worst time to get sick, in my opinion, is during warm weather. Im already putting on 5 layers in the winter anyway! I dont want to spend the best days of the year inside, on the couch, in a nyQuil coma (NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil, we love you! you giant fucking Q!). Not to mention, Im already feeling hot and gross and sticky from the weather. a fever on top of that? No spank you very much.
Sunday morning I woke up with the usual allergy symptoms (runny nose, sneezing like a bastard, itchy throat) so I went home and took my allergy medicine. It didnt work and i kept feeling worse. YAY! then I got an email from one of the other people in my research group from my lab class. He suggested we all meet after the exam the next day.
"cool, yeah, after the exam....... EXAM?!!!!"
go me!
Well, I think I did alright to be honest. Killed the essay questions and the multiple choice questions weren't too bad except for the research design stuff.
REWIND...
to last Thursday. I had the privilege of waking up at 3:30 AM to drive 2.5 hours to take a test for a job with a very long selection process. I guess jobs where you're working with criminals are like that. Crazy. One cup of coffee, one long line, and one very long drive later, and I was the first one done with the test, and I passed. Now I get to go back to the same place in a month to take the physical abilities test. I guess they want to make sure I can run away from the criminals and I'm able to drag unconscious bodies a certain distance in a specific time. Awesome! I began filling out a 30 page Personal History Statement today. The history of residences was killer. Still haven't to the drug history section..... good thing its been 7 years since the drug days....
REWIND A LITTLE MORE...
to just a few days prior. Monday night I found an ad for a baker and cook for a small bakery here in town (thank you craigslist!!!!!). I jumped on it, emailed my resume, and the next day, found the place and went in to talk to the owner. She wasnt there, so after I took Maisy and the new man in my life:
to the beach, i cleaned up a bit and went back in. I talked to the owner and got myself a job! Baking! weeee!!!! The owner is opening a restaurant in the space next door and knocking out walls in the bakery and kitchen so that they join. She wants me to work directly under the head chef's of each place as an assistant kitchen manager kind of job. Im super super duper psyched! It wont have the benefits or pay like the state job I'm trying to get but it will be fun (hopefully. the owner seemed alright and the kitchen looked really nice), I'll get to bake again, it will pay the bills until something bigger comes along, and who knows, maybe it will become something bigger?!
I miss cooking soooooo...
I think Im gonna make me some bomb ass chef's pants
FAST FORWARD!!!!
from last Monday, to last Saturday! The weather was so gorgeous, some friends and I went up to Red Rock. It was a beautiful drive. It was a little crowded when we got there and super hot but I waded around in the river with Cowboy and all was well
this man will swim all day long if you let him. he loves it. he was finding rocks to jump off of into the water, splashing everyone. it was awesome.
REWIND....
(no, a little bit more0
(ok, too far, go back)
(STOP!)
Im a bit of a cave woman. A recluse... but about a month ago I started leaving the house and was able to hang out with the two friends I have at school weee!
yes we are drunk
yes, its 2 in the afternoon
nothing but class I tell you!
REWIND A LITTLE MORE....
A couple weeks prior to that, I had the lower part of my sleeve finished, those of you who see me in chat have seen it, but my artist and I dont want to take any pics til its done. Its super tight yo. Its gonna blow yer miiiiiind.
what else what else what else what else.....
Oh, I realized Im totally obsessed with taking pics of my puppers when she falls asleep with her tongue hanging out:
pretty frikin cute
ohhhh BTW:
yesssssss
O O Oooo
I got the wedding invitation to my best friend's wedding yesterday. Gorgeous invitations. Im the maid of honor which means I get to throw the bachelorette party. She keeps asking me what I'm going to do but I refuse to tell her. mwahahahaaaaa. Unfortunately, the maid of honor position also comes with the responsibility of writing a speech. Any tips? Fortunately, my dress is not hideous. Her mother told her I had to be taken out of the wedding party when she told her about how many tattoos I have now (we've been friends for almost 10 years now), but of course my best friend laughed and said that she wanted me to be showing them off, and she was hoping my sleeve would be done in time for the wedding. hey! me too!
Being sick sucks but I think finding a place to live sucks even more. Id rather deal with the stress and discomfort of being sick for a week, than have to deal with looking for a new living situation. Im over living with 5 gajillion roomies now. Living by myself will be worth the price though. ah, to just be naked in my own damn living room and not have to play refrigerator tetris!
now go show Pandorial some lovins on her set, Shade
I had the pleasure of meeting her and her gentleman recently, as well as their two ratties. I cant wait to see her again! 
I hope to see you all at Club Suicide, May 31st!
Im going to go pass out now....
we took some pics
she kinda rocks
and so does this set
help it get on the front page!

Im taking Lab in Developmental and Evolutionary Psychology and Evolution and Cognition. I absolutely in love with my classes 2. I just had my spring break. It ended with me at my moms out in the desert. We went shopping for days. My sister and brother came down too. Sunday was the annual ranch party. The last one sadly as my mom and pop are moving to Texas in a few weeks. Here are some ranch party pics

I dont know who this guy is but hes a total guido. he had a long leather jacket and a ponytail. I just had to take my picture with him. I think he was in one of the bands.

3. I went up to a horse auction last weekend with mom and pop. we watched a Chris Cox clinic, the colt breaking competition, and then my pop auctioned off one of his horses. Then we had dinner. good times!
