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!

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,...

Ummmm......YOLO??

[editor's note: this was actually like two weeks ago, I just hadn't published it] So yesterday we had our second outdoor meet, which was like our fifth meet overall, and it was, ummmm, interesting to say the least. It was really fun, it didn't even feel like an actual meet because it was just so fun. Oh, FYI there'll be a couple random pictures that have nothing to do with yesterday, I just wanted to share them. Though at the same time there'll be some from yesterday. Keep your eyes open and see if you can tell the difference, cause you probably will be able to. It's really not that hard. This is my life Screen shot this gem off of SkierSayWhat First of all, I didn't sleep at all Monday night. Not a freaking wink. I was up all night talking with Max about things that should've been talked about awhile ago, and getting advice/being all philosophical with Tyson, oh and snap chatting Autumn. Then they all eventually went to bed, Max was the last one ...

Breakups

Well this is a sad a post. I'm sorry for that, feel free to just skip this one. Go on, move on to another happier one. It's okay with me. Just get out of here. Go find a love story. We might as well start with Autumn and Calvin. They dated for over a year and were the first one's in our group to actually date. They made a cute couple with their every Saturday dates, and nicknames, and whatnot. We all thought they'd be the next DAndy (Dan and Andie, a couple from our school who started dating in 8th grade and are still together going into their second year of college. And yes, they go to the same college), but apparently not. Calvin started being a real jerk, and Autumn wasn't putting up with that. The rest is history. Then there was the double whammy of Bailey and Max, and Jake and I. Both in one day...ya... It wasn't planned, and neither knew about the other until later. The weirdest part is that both happened at the same time. The day started out with me a...
