A lot of miscellaneous things happening here, nothing too bad, ugly or too crazy to handle, just enough to keep me on my toes and really busy.
- My boss left for Italy on Tuesday morning for a 2.5 week vacation. While this is on much better terms than the last time he planned a big "out of the county family vacation" (1 short week after I started my position there nearly 5 years ago), we still had so much to take care before he left. Didn't help that I had to leave early for my doctor's appointment on Friday and that he's a major procrastinator because Monday turned into one whirlwind of a day. It's not been quiet since he's left, but I haven't gone completely insane, yet!
- Created a 30th wedding anniversary party invitation for Coco and she was so thoroughly impressed by my mad skills that she thinks I have a knack for party planning. I did offer to make her cake/cupcakes as well, just to stay creative with my baking.
- Heading out to my Dad's tomorrow after work to celebrate Father's Day with him a bit early. Rather than taking him out to dinner, I'm going to impress him with my new found love for creating healthy, yet flavorful recipes. I hope my little experiment works! I also hope that he likes the Father's Day gifts I picked out!
- Renewing my apartment lease for another year this week. Hard to believe that I moved in here 5 years ago already. It's nice to know that after shuffling around growing up and then moving around numerous times in college, I'm somewhat grounded for the time being. Sure, I know I'm renting a 700 sq. foot apartment, but it's cute and right now, I don't think I could handle much more than this amount of space.
- MO is having the work crowd over for a BBQ on Saturday afternoon and I intend to let loose and have some fun. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together and it's a great way to spend a hot Saturday in June. And since I RSVP'ed to this event, the pool table jokes have been in high demand too. I just may have to take a break and lay down on it again if I deem it necessary.
- Sunday I'm finally working on my signature dessert recipe. I've got it all planned out and now I just need to execute it. I'm feeling really confident and I'm already thinking ahead for another dessert contest using strawberries. I'll post more info and maybe even a picture of my creation once its all finished.
The best news of the week is that tomorrow is Friday and we're heading into summer! Woo hoo!!
