This past weekend was the busiest weekend back home I've had in a long time.
Thursday afternoon after my classes were over for the day, they were having the annual spring Career Fair in the gym here at my school and I thought it might be good for me to make an appearance and see if maybe I could talk to some chefs and maybe potentially get a job...well, needless to say, there was nothing there for pastry students, let alone pastry students from MAINE! So after I got a few free things I was content and ready to head North. It took 2.5 LONGG hours to get home but its always worth it. It may sound lame but I absolutely love being home! My mom is my best friend and spending even a fraction of my day with her makes it all better. That night mom and I sat home and relaxed!! We watched episodes of Law & Order along with Without A Trace and just enjoyed each others company like we always do (or I do...she always says I talk too mush...phhsssss nahhhh). The next day mom and I spent the day together and relaxed, visited Kacie & the kids, went to Sam's Club...just had a nice relaxing day. That night we watched movies together (and ate CHEESEBALLS).After the movie, I was in full BAKING MODE!! I made about 2 or 3 dozen large cupcakes for the next days CAKE TASTING for my friend Amanda's Wedding in September. Libby was coming home that night and we were hoping to watch a movie with her but she had along drive and, anyway, it was juts a great night. Saturday was shopping day with Mom, Kacie & Libby. We started our day by going to the bank....im not even going to touch base on this subject but all im going to say is...DO NOT HAVE A TIME SCHEDULE TO YOUR DAY WHEN SOMEONE HAS TO OPEN A CHECKING ACCOUNT THAT MORNING...haha...it took forever!!! Anyway, we went shopping, got alot of atuff done, I found my graduation dress, and we had a wonderful lunch at Panera Bread. It was a perfect day as "The Four of Us Again." I've missed these days...
After shopping I had to scramble to get 2 dozen cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache and strawberry preserves and iced with vanilla butter cream. They looked amazing and...after filling them, I WAS COVERED FROM ELBOW TO FINGERS IN GANACHE!!! Lets just say...it wasnt my day! That night I met my friends Kathy, Amanda & her daughter Sierra at their hotel and we had a cake tasting. i dont know why, but it always makes me so nervous to watch people as they are eating my pastries because I am always so worried they wont like them...even though they look so good! They ended up loving the chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and butter cream on top. We had the cakes chosen for the wedding and were ready to go to the Portland Pirates Hockey Game for the night. The game was amazing...we saw some boys in shorts and long socks, and got as many pictures as we could :) and went to Rivalries for dinner. It was a great ended to a great weekend!!!!!!
Sunday was my Grampy's Birthday and I made him some Cream Horns..which he loves how I make them and he loved them!!
As I sit in my empty dorm room I realize how lucky I am to have such amazing people who love me and are so proud of the woman I have become. I have come such a long way since starting school and have learned so much while being here. I may not have many friends but the ones I do have are the best and most special people to me and Im so lucky to have them in my life. My family is the most important thing in my life and no matter what happens I can always count on the ones I love to be there through everything! I had a wonderful weekend being with both my family and my friends (especially my awesome friend from WAY UP IN CANADA!! <3 )!
Tomorrow's my mommas 46th Birthday and I WANNA WISH HER THE BEST BIRTHDAY OF ALL!! I LOVE HER MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF AND I WOULDN'T BE THE WOMAN I AM TODAY WITHOUT HER!!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!
Talk to you all soon
~With much love~
