Fortunate Friday

January 28, 2011 by Jenn

This week was an incredibly busy, but awesome week for me!

I started off the week spinning on Monday, hosted a “cleaning” party on Tuesday, then got my cake-on Wednesday and Thursday night, and finally headed off for a weekend of meetings in Vancouver.

My cake classes were awesome this week!  I’m so glad that I signed up.  I’m learning tons and having fun.  I decorated my first official cake, and made my first royal icing flowers.  I have a sore wrist and forearm.  Perhaps my icing was too thick last night?  Duh.  Rookie.

I’m fortunate for the genes that my 96 Grandma is passing me.  I got to visit her one day this week at lunch, and she’s still thriving.  I think I helped this out with her FOUR XL double-doubles (that’s coffee with two creams and two sugar) that I brought her!

I am fortunate for the existence of Vancouver.  How I love this city . . . and yes, I’m there now.  Such a beautiful city full of opportunity . . . and shopping . . . and good eats . . .

I’m most fortunate this week for the week I got to spend with Ruby.  As I was housesitting at my parents (they’re visiting baby Elsa) I got to hangout with Ruby (when I wasn’t busy!).  She is the best friend.

I am also fortunate for my dSLR camera, thanks AGAIN Paul. . . that I’m still learning how to operate.  Each day, I’m learning something new with it.

Here are some pics from this week.

Watch out! Here she comes. Left Paul in her dust.

I hope you had yourself a great week!  Let me know 🙂
