hey guys..

I'm so tired and achy right now..lol.

On Sunday after I drained the tub and was getting up to get out, I slipped and fell back into the tub and gave myself a wicked whiplash. I have been having a weird headache all week.

I finished 3 cakes that I thought were due today, that's what I have written on the recipts!! One lady didn't pick up her cake, but it's paid for so I think she may come tomorrow.

The other lady kept on calling me all week changing the date of HER cake...ugh...so as I go in early this morning ...stiff as a board and not really able to move my neck and shoulders..working on her cake so it will be ready by 11 am...she calls to "CONFIRM HER CAKE FOR TOMORROW"..ha..yeah right..if it really was for tomorrow..you wouldn't be calling...

So, I stayed till 9:30 pm got Saturday's cakes baked..but have to go in tomorrow early again, because I have to do some new techniques, at leat for me...on a cake that get's picked up at NOON! and a huge sheet cake...the BIG sheet cake!

I STILL have to get the pricing for the guy that want's me to do the production work on his logo cakes and cookies for Valentine's Day..

and...

I want to finish the Ginger bread house...and there is a cake I want to try to see if I can make a "3-D" ..erm..well..cake..lol...


and...

I still want to play with my cakes. I want to make this REALLY cute purse cake that I found. I want to send this special stand out to be made for this AWESOME CAKE that I have in my head..

and....

I have to make sure that I finish my BIG SCHOOL project so I can FINALLY get my BAKING AND PASTRY ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA...I graduated in May...( they only have 1 graduation a year...so it was this past May or next May...I thought if I didnt' say anything I'd automatically be next MAY..but..noooooooooooooooooooooooo!)

and........

I want to take my MONDAY..that I'm supposed to be closed and get to the BEACH....before HALLOWEEN..I'm so pale someone just MAY try to put a STAKE through my heart..

Hissssssssssssssssssssssss!

and..and...and..

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


(shhh...she fell asleep!!!)...lol

you poor thing, i dont know how you have all the energy you do. What kind of help do you have, does someone do your baking or make your icing? i know you have a guy who delivers cakes, but surely you're not doing all the rest alone.

Hey...thanks for all the support..I actually got up this am at 7 and here it is 10 am and just got in...wasted 3 hours trying to "WAKE" up..lol

now it will be a mad dash to the finish line. I have 2 cakes to decorate before noon....and I take an average of 2 hours each..icing, fondant accents and airbrushing and the piping..ugh.

I have to finish the lettering on another...

and that will be my day....


Yes, I do it all myself...I am head cheif, baker, cook and candlestick maker in this joint! Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it..I'm still just working for the "MAN"..lol and my rent goes up in Janurary...UGH!

and the headache is from the bathtub whiplash...lol...

I agree.....a good massage would be called for if I could actually destress enough to ALLOW someone to TOUCH ME...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkkkkk.....running away!

oh girl!...you can be tooooo busy!

i feel your pain!....i was painting and fell off a ladder and sprained my left wrist...

i thought...it'll be ok...but man i never realized how much you use the left wrist.

two days later i had to do two stacked wedding cakes.

it was a comedy carrying triple stacked wedding cakes with my forarms and tryin to get them in the box.

my sister says i need to find a rich old man to take care of me so i can quit working so hard....

which sounded good....but i'm pretty sure ya gotta kiss em and "stuff".

i must say it felt kinda good to see your post and know i'm not the only one with alot of challenges.

try to get some rest!!!...i'm gonna do a double shot of nyquill!!!
