I GOT A JOB

So in my last post I talked about how I was thinking about doing a home baking thing. I went to the Armory to give Sergeant Nelson a cupcake. Side note: A couple weeks ago I had made cupcakes and brought some over for the guys but he hadn't been there that day and therefor didn't get any, which is why I brought one today since I had baked this weekend. Side-side note: They were maple pancake cupcakes with maple butter cream frosting. All homemade. He was in a meeting so I was waiting in the, I don't know, building entrance area(?) I met this woman who was waiting for a her meeting. Side note: Turns out that due to weather her meeting had been canceled and she just hadn't been told. We started talking and she told me that she was here to talk about a party for the US that she was planning for Sunday the weekend before the fourth. So we got to talking about and she was telling me about what food she was thinking of and, I kid you not, a light bulb popped out of my head and I told her that I thinking of starting a home baking business, (or would it be called catering?). She thought it was a wonderful idea, and went on about how she hadn't thought of that  and what a wonderful idea it was. She asked for my name and number and said that she'd call for pricing and to tell me how much. I then volunteered myself and my friends to help her set up. How nice am I? :) She then asked me if I'd like to also make cupcakes for show boating! I am so in!
Now I just have to think of what I should do for pricing....Hmmm, I'm thinking a general price of like $6 per dozen I think that's a fair price. Unless it's a special type that'd require more or more pricey ingredients  I don't really know though, I'll have to look into the pricing of things. If I buy in bulk, start shop sales and with coupons that'd help keep the price low. Buy ingredients like eggs direct from farmers, so that 1. you get that nice fresh egg that hasn't been tampered with by bio engineers or whose parents haven't been fed bad things like growth hormones, and 2. then the price will be lower. Side note: It'd be lower because when you buy from the store you pay a higher price. Why? Because stores buy them from someplace else and to make a profit they have to raise the prices, whereas when you buy straight from the source you pay the original price. Yes! Having friends who live on farms has finally come in handy besides the other times that its come in handy, like all the awesome things you can do on a farm when you're at a sleepover. Side note: That reminds me of the time I helped a friend bale hay, for some reason I had a lot of fun doing it despite having hay in weird places... If you have any suggestions on pricing and whatnot shoot me a comment I LOVE your feedback on it!

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,...

Does 2 hours count as an OD run?

Well if it does then I just did my first OD run. Btw, OD stands for Over Distance. I ran a total of 15.6 miles in 2hours 1minute and 8seconds. burned 1,467 calories, and managed not to hurt myself. Here's how it went: I started out from my house and ran along the lake to the fair grounds where I could enter the Mesabi Trail. Then I just ran along the trail for awhile in the cold, while it snowed, and was really windy. Then I decided I'd run along this branching of trail and  go to Deer River, it's only an additional 22miles I quickly lost the trail when it came out on a road and just turned around. From there I waved hi to a fisherman and his family and resumed running on the Mesabi Trail. Then I decided to follow another branch off to Gunn Park and from there run to my friend Max's. I was almost there when I realized  I was still only an hour in. So I did what anyone would do... I started running along random trails through the woods. I did come along a collapsed...
