sleepiest.
when cupcakes rule the world
sleepy.
meet daisy. she’s a five year old yellow lab whose previous owner no longer had time for her. keith and I had planned on getting a dog and everything just lined up perfectly. not to brag, but she is the perfect dog. we’ve had her since saturday and she has only barked once, at night, and I think it may have been an accident. she doesn’t beg for food or whine. she just hangs out and insists that you pet her. she doesn’t go on furniture and is very hesitant when we call her up on the bed. she’s a very easy dog to walk and is great with kids. I really don’t think we could have found a better dog and I’m so glad she is a part of my life. the dog-shaped hole in my heart has been filled.
hello again.
I’m going to start using tumblr again.
This stage in my life is too amazing to not be documented and I suck at using wordpress. You can still find me at cupcakesupremacy.wordpress.com, but I’m redirecting my .com to here for now.
I haven’t used this in over a year and it’s seriously amazing how much has changed in that time. I’m in love, living in sin, have my license, no longer have a gallbladder, blonder than ever…more has changed than stayed the same and I couldn’t be any happier.
maybe i woulda been something you’d be good at…
..now we’ll never know.
and I wonder why dudes flee from me.
today I got certified as a barista. it was a week of the most instense, frustrating, overwhelming training I’ve ever gone through.
I realized it had a lot to do with me not being used to being stupid. of course I do stupid things, I experience blonde moments pretty frequently. in the job realm though, I’m used to going in and being the superstar new kid and just busting everything out. this was not the case here. there is so much information you have to remember and it honestly only gets easier with practice.
a lot of the people that trained me were fantastic. kind, patient, more than willing to help. but I could sense frustration in a lot of people and it ended up really getting to me. I understand that I’m in the middle/end of a long line of trainees, but getting mad at me for things I couldn’t possibly have known is very unfair.
but today was a great day, I got certified, one of my favorite supervisors told me that another boy and i were the most advanced baristas that she’s ever trained. and I got a little “thanks” card from another boy that’s training to be a supervisor. so that was fanastic. I want to bake them cookies. but that would be mean to deny all the people that weren’t as nice as they were.
but come into my store and I’ll make you the best drink ever. and if you order it without any modifications I’ll kiss you on the mouth.
hooray for employment!
i finally got a job. it’s just at at a coffee shop but i’m pretty excited. after being jobless for 2 months i’d have quite literally taken anything.
but of course today is also the day I got approved for unemplyment.
of course.
i had to go to my old job today (a daycare) to get something. as i was walking up the road i see a buggy full of kids coming toward me. before i can even see who they are i hear “TRINA!!!”
cue my heart breaking into a million pieces.
um 2 of my favorite things EVER. little babies and big dogs. i ALMOST love this more than the little girl and the penguin. ALMOST.
