Life Lately

It's weird how moods can bounce from sad to happy.  Within moments, too!  They can bounce within moments, or they can stick around much longer than welcome.  The sad moments, that is.  The happy ones seem to politely never over-stay their welcome (as if that were even possible).

My point is, yesterday was a sad day.  But I had some cherries, the first cherries of the season.  And that helped.


And today is a happy day!  Happy in a way that completely overcomes yesterday's sad.

I have a new excitement to share!  And I might be prematurely sharing, because nothing is set in stone yet.  But it is a strong possibility that you're looking at (um, I mean reading the words of...) the new temporary-and probably unpaid-part time morning prep baker for Tulie Bakery!

I've come to find lately that I'm usually my happiest when I'm doing creative and fun baking.  My full-time accounting job certainly doesn't cover that criteria.  And if I was always baking at home, Ray and I will sure soon have diabetes.  That's why I crave opportunities like Mother's Day to make a beautiful citrus cake.



I wrote emails out to a few bakeries in the Salt Lake area to see if any of them could use a sort of intern or morning prep baker, and the owner of Tulie responded.  It's kind of perfect because Tulie is located just a minute's walk away from my apartment, and they make such beautiful cakes and pastries.

I'm really excited for the opportunity.  Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon, because I don't want to have to come back and report that it didn't work out!

So, I'm happy today.  And other things that make me happy are the TV show New Girl (check it out if you haven't seen it yet.  It will make you laugh and cry and fall in love.  And laugh some more.) and this song I've just discovered I love.


I can't vouch for the video, though.  I only watched a couple seconds of it and it looks pretty weird...
