OMG

So first off, I would like to apologize for my lack of writing.  This whole "big girl job" thing is sucking the life out of me and I'm not even 2 full weeks into it.  Oh well.  Sooooo.......where to start???  Hmmm.....I guess we'll go alllllll the way back to Thursday, July 9th, as that's where I left off.

Lilly's class hosted a luau at St. Joseph School.  It was fantastic.  For the event, we had to sign up to bring treats for the kiddos, so naturally I made cake.  Duh.  I made a pineapple cake (looked like - not tasted like) and lei cupcakes.  The cupcakes I was proud of.....the pineapple melted a little so I gave it a C+.  It still looked amazing and I was happy with it.  Here are some pictures of the day:

My melting pineapple...notice the elephant skin.

The Cake prior to adding the stamens on the flowers.  LOL - just sounds dirty.

Let's see.....hmmmm....boring details....blah blah blah.....BEACH PARTY!  Friday night Lilly's friend Kyle and his amazing family hosted an end of school beach party for the 2nd and Kindergartners.  Of course, I once again made cupcakes.  This time, they were beach cakes.

Clearly, she didn't have any fun.......

Hmmm....Oh and Friday was also Cam's 13th birthday so I made him this baseball cake.  Yum.

That Saturday we went to Lissa and Michael's house for their annual birthday, summer, pick-a-reason picnic.  Can you believe I DIDN'T make cupcakes????  WHAT????  Nope.  Instead I made deviled eggs.  Deviled eggs?  That's boring.  Silly reader, I didn't just make deviled eggs - I made basil, garlic, and bacon deviled eggs.  I hate deviled eggs but these, these I ate.  A lot of them too.

So the next exciting thing that happened was that I finally got a start day for the new gig - rue21.  I am the Full Time Assistant Store Manager.  Who?  I'm #2 in command when shit hits the fan.  Basically.  If you're not familiar with the store, its a teen based retail shop that is steadily growing.  Low prices, high fashions.  That's the deal.  THEN, to make it even better, I agreed to help my friend Crissa and her shop POSH in a new adventure.  Every Friday night from 7-9pm the shops on Cottrell St in Mystic hold a Friday Night Social....special deals in the shops and tasty treats for the customers - supplied by ME!!  This past Friday I supplied Crissa at POSH with lemonade cookies, Shades of Mystic with vanilla pound cake cupcakes with strawberry buttercream frosting, and the Riverside Outdoor Shop with Mediterranean Herb cheese straws.  I have no photos.....the process was stressful because I waited too long to produce it.....reference my FB page.

In any event, Then I started my job.....work, clothes, boring.....I have no good details other than MY shop opens June 30th at the Crystal Mall, Waterford.  COME VISIT ME!!
