Fortunate Friday

April 23, 2011 by Jenn

Let’s get going . . . I only have 40 more minutes while it’s still Friday!

I am fortunate for the gift of time.  The long weekend started today and it has been a great start so far!  We have been working hard all day, making cupcakes, cakes and doing a bridal consultation . . . and packing!  Moving is such a hassle!

I am fortunate that neither Paul, nor I killed each other last night, as we worked on our latest cake until 3:00.  In the A.M!  Good lord that was a long, tough one, but our customer was happy, and that’s all that matters!

I am fortunate that tomorrow my mom and Paul are coming to help me pack up my stuff.  I seriously was starting to hyperventilate when I was thinking about moving.  You never know how much stuff you actually have until it all has to fit into boxes!  I’m living in a 500 square foot loft, and we’ve already taken three truck loads to Paul’s basement, and I’m calling in reinforcements tomorrow!

I am fortunate to have had the baking bug this week, and made two new recipes . . . Chocolate Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcake, and a Mocha Cupcake.  Both of them are so delicious!

I am fortunate that we live in a country where we have a thing called “Pitch In” and people actually care that it is Earth Day today.  We had the kids at school, picking up garbage in and around the school grounds.  It was great to see, and hopefully we kick the litter-bug problem sometime soon.  My dad used to blow up a HUGE Earth Day ball, and roll it around the EK10K route with the kids in his class.  Why don’t we do those kind of things anymore?

Happy Earth Day!
