When Did I Start Becoming Honest?

Alright, I'm going to be straight with you (hard for me, I know). Everything have been very busy lately. The end of the month/beginning of the month in my line of work is a blur of paperwork, phone calls, emails, and issues. Not only that, there were some personal matters that had been going on for the past week. I ask you humbly for your forgiveness.

This is what's been going on lately:

  1. I made one of these: http://about.me/adelamorales
  2. I declared on myself a baking challenge for when I move to Florida. (Details tomorrow)
  3. I discovered how adorable Pembroke Welsh Corgis are.
  4. I have a wedding to go to this Saturday for a co-worker.
Yes, that wedding is THIS Saturday, and my dress is yet to arrive. Not only that, but between now and then I need to cut my hair, buy shoes, and do my nails. It's so tough being me I'll have you know.

When Did I Start Wanting To Run A Bakery?

Here's the thing, I'm 20 years old and I pretty much know what I want to do. The issue is I've been skirting around it until I move out of my parents house. I'm going to college right now to be a teacher, but honestly I'm not feeling it. I know I could be a teacher, and I think I'd do well. I just don't want that to be my career.

Since forever I've loved baking, eating baked goods, and watching other eat what I've made. It makes me happy. So when I move out, I think I want to attend a school where I can learn all the infrastructure I need, baking and business sides. That way I can possibly run a baking delivery service.

So, here's the idea. I have a website people can go on to order. I envision this being useful for office staff in big buildings or hospitals, and the usual catering services. There they order when they want a certain something, and I call them back to either confirm, deny, or follow up an order. Then I go and make my deliveries.

Good, bad, ok? I just want to start out small making deliveries before I decide if I want to open a permanant bakery, considering I don't know where my husband will be stationed for the Navy.

Comments below are encouraged....needed....please?

When Did I Get Such a Handsome Husband?

HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY TO MY HUSBAND, JAMES!

(Yes, this IS my handy work, thank you very much.)


GOOD NEWS: My husband is the most attractive, intelligent, and caring man I know. He's been there for me since the day I met him, and he seems to only be getting better as time goes on. He's been working tirelessly for 9 months now to get into the Navy. He got a great ASVAB test score, has done all his paperwork, and lost about 50 lbs in total.

Tuesday we were told we were almost at the end of the journey. All he had to do was stay at a hotel Wednesday night, Thursday morning he'd have his official physical, and the same day he could sign his contract for the rating he wants.

BAD NEWS: His Navy Recruiting Office seems to not give a damn about their job. Just before they were about to take my husband to the hotel, the Head Officer decided to measure James 1 more time. He claims James had "shrunk 3 inches" since the last time his height was measured. In fact, for months, they had been telling us James was 6 feet tall. Now they came up with 5 foot 10 inches. That means he'd have to lose another 24 lbs before he could finish his process.

I'm frustrated because my husband has done everything these people asked for, and now they are the ones who have so immensely screwed up. Now my husband has to be the one to pay for it? Our bad, we can't even use our equipment to measure height correctly, but just lose another 24 lbs.

I never want us to be as disappointed as  we were today. We're still trying to collect ourselves.

MORE GOOD NEWS: Since James was home, I decided "Screw It!" and made him a bunch of cupcakes and cake. If he was gonna be home on his birthday, well we were gonna have sweets. He could only have 2 cupcakes, but it's more dessert than he's had in forever. His face made me forget the utter craziness of the day. I love you James.
