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!

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w

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,

First distance run in awhile...

KJ was gone today because of the Elite meet, and so he left us with a workout and put Amber in charge. Amber is a student at the college studying to become a physical educator  She's almost, but not quite, an assistant sprinting coach.  Some pictures from the Elite meet. Courtesy of KJ: The workout was just 4 laps with 100 yrd sprints on the straightaways, 10 100s with 40 second rests between. The weight room was locked and since Amber isn't an official coach she doesn't have a key and we couldn't workout. I don't think anyone was sad. That was the earliest the girls sprint team has ever finished. Usually we're the last ones there, because KJ just talks and talks. I decided that since I haven't really been training for the half-marathon well at all since track started that I should probably go for a run. Start gathering some miles up. WORST IDEA EVER, actually that's a lie. I've had worst ones. Like working out with Nick. I
