My Week is Done!
So, tonight is the end of a VERY long week.. I'm tired... but the fact that the week is done somehow gives me energy.
VDay cakes were INSANE!! I dreamed about them for HOURS Friday night and didn't get much sleep... I think 3 hours, maybe...
Company was fun, even though I didn't get to spend much time with them.
Chocolate is marvelous
I love teaching!
I LOVE my mother! I don't know what I would do without her.
I actually had a good attitude during cakes. I was in pain and exhausted and stressed but I come out with a good attitude. Probably because I went in with a good attitude. Check my previous post for what I was thinking.
I didn't make the YouTube Symphony, I'm telling myself it's because the 2nd video didn't upload in time. I'm not upset about it.
I love my siblings.
I saw some people from Dubuque Symphony Orchestra leaving the restaurant we went to after church. I had a twinge of guilt, regret, I don't know what....
Went bowling tonight. I actually played pretty well.. for me anyway... I bowled 2 80-something games and a couple strikes. I usually do gutter balls. Last time I bowled, probably 5 years ago, we were with some friends from church. Sue's family owned a bowling lanes place when she was growing up and she is quite good. She said I was doing terrible and showed me some tips... it must have worked and that was 5 years ago! It was fun!
Didn't get my IDD chocolate swap chocolate...maybe it's coming on Monday...
Had a good Bible Study on Thursday for a change. I can't wait till we are done with this book. I really like it! And the S____s seem to be enjoying it, but.. everyone else wants to do something that umm... doesn't require thought on their part.. I think... anyone no one is really putting any effort into it... Which is annoying....
Did I mention I love teaching.
I'm going to start planting soon. I dont' really have a green thumb... but it makes me feel accomplished.
Oh and I love my mother!

Valentine Thoughts...
Today is Valentine's Day, or what we on IDD call Singles Awareness Day, and frankly it's one of my most dreaded days/times of the year. I don't know about you but I don't like VD and it's not just because I am single. Yes, all the love in the air and happy couples everywhere makes single people feel lonely, after all the holiday is all about love. Every year I spend Valentine's Day stressed out and lonely... why?? Well, I work at the DQ that my parents own, I am the main cake decorator. Over Valentine's Day we sell more cakes than any other time of the year. So after days on end of red and pink frosting, and piles of work to do, I'm stressed and exhausted and well... not someone you probably want to hang around :-) I decided once that I was going to figure out how many things there were that I could not like about Valentine's Day.
- Red and pink everywhere! I mean honestly!! They don't even match!!
- Hearts hanging everywhere, red lights, and lace, it can be a little overbearing!
- Everyone running around looking for the special gift for their special someone.
- And then there is the inevitable thought that I get home there is no roses, chocolate, and a special dinner waiting for me. Just a normal house and a stomach that needs to be fed.
Well.. and years of crummy and stressful Valentine's Days... I decided this year I would try something a little different. For starters I am trying to not dwell on the things that I don't like. I am concentrating on the things I can be thankful for!
- That I am single and can serve God in the capacity I am in.
- Sunday marks 364 wonderful days till Valentine's Day comes around again.
- I'm making cinnamon bark with chocolate and cinnamon candies. YUMMY!
- Hugs and "I love you's" from my younger siblings.
- Chewy cinnamon hearts go on clearance!
- I have extra help this year and I don't have to make and decorate over 100 cakes all by myself.
- Beautiful roses, even if they aren't mine.
- I'm even thankful that some shades of red and pink DO match :)
- I'm thankful that today is Valentine's Day and that God loves me everyday.

Clips from Pres. Bush's Welcome Home Rally
One thing that didn't make this clip is he said, "We worked to instill freedom and liberty as an alternative to the tyranny and terror. Whether or not you agreed with my decisions or not on thing you have to agree with, we have not been attacked for the last 7 years,"
The whole speech is good if you can make time to watch it.

Recent Sewing Acquisitions
I thought you all might like to see some sewing items I inherited when my Gr. Grandma passed away this August.
The first took me a few seconds to figure out what it was:
It's a pin cushion :) If you hold it with the open part facing towards you it kinda looks like a microphone.
The second we found up in the attic. When I found out it was up there, I asked my uncle if I could Please have it!! If no one else does. He said I should just take it because no one else would want it. So, I got a dress form!!!
I haven't used it yet. I'm making a dress right now, and when I get back to working on it I'm going to use it.
The first took me a few seconds to figure out what it was:
It's a pin cushion :) If you hold it with the open part facing towards you it kinda looks like a microphone.
The second we found up in the attic. When I found out it was up there, I asked my uncle if I could Please have it!! If no one else does. He said I should just take it because no one else would want it. So, I got a dress form!!!
I haven't used it yet. I'm making a dress right now, and when I get back to working on it I'm going to use it.
