'an artist is never poor.'


wow. so true.

2nd day of summer break and I have to be to work at 8:30 to do who knows what for who knows how much. I remember last summer...making like $8.00 an hour there. wow. thanks.
I don't even ask anymore because then it would get weird and I certainly don't work there because I need to...ya know...so, I just do it and have fun and then come home and feel really good about food, in a way I don't feel for about 10 months out of the year. I can't really explain it in any other way.

Tonight we had sean and ar and aidan over for the first time since spring break! Damn, what a long time to go without even talking. we just get so into routine it's scary. It was fun though, nothing has changed The house was just as messy too. I had been working all day to do these damn sample cakes that I offer. I would love to be able to put a picture up but I have no way to download them right now.

I am in Vermont. I have been traveling all day and I am pretty tired. It is only 9. The flights were crazy. I have not traveled by myself since I went to France and well, for those of you that know me, I don't like to fly much. So, the first flight started off awesome. We watched an incredibly stupid movie called 'failure to launch', dumb but watchable...then, it started getting bumpy and the seatbelt sign came on. The captian came on and said, "stewardesses, please take your seats immediately." So, of course I get freaked out. But we land fine after I am sweating and white knuckling it in the whole way. I swear, we landed on just one wheel too because the plane was totally tilted. I found myself leaning to the right like that would actually make a difference...funny.
Once inside Chicago's airport, I found that my gate was like 6 gates away. So, I didn't get to go into the tunnel of neon which would have been cool. Oh well.
When I was waiting for the plane, I was sitting across from this adorable couple that was so sweet. They were ofcourse younger than me (everyone is younger than me these days) and were just so into each other...well, when boarding the plane, I walked past them and he handed her a box. She opened it and it was a little wooden box with blue sand, a sea shell and a giant diamond ring. She said in her broken English, "are you serious?" It was so sweet! I was beaming and I didn't even know them...I was also waiting to hear her answer but there were anxious peeps behind me. It was very cute though and then the captian came on and congratulated them...so she must have said yes.
THEN, like 20 min into the flight, the captian did the same thing..."please take your seats immediately, it is going to be bumpy for atleast the next 10 min." Well, it was. SOOOO bumpy. Where it would do those drops and leave your stomach in your throat...yeah, those. I thought I was bad, there was a woman in front of me crying. Seriously.
I landed, they were late and I didn't care, I was just happy to be on the ground.
On the way home, we stopped at a Red Robin for dinner. Holy Moly, it was totally a chain hamburger kinda place but it was so good. I had chicken just so ya know. Then two hours later we got here and went to bed. They were very tired and so was I.
Okay, since I can't put any pics up, I am signing off for now. I will write more when I can. Miss all of you!
