Montreal, Cake, and Coach

After my last post erased, I will probably put this in point form!
Here it goes. So up above is my family at my sisters engagement party. My future BIL is to my right. The party was very nice. And they got beautiful gifts.

Here is me and my last cake decorating class.

Here are some of my supplies
And here is the final cake, with the Wilton rose. I didnt quite master it, but its not bad!


Today on my way home from work, i went to the new coach outlet! yes thats right, a canadian coach outlet 10 minutes from my house! I bought 2 things, a weekly planner, which I really really wanted, and a white summer purse, majorly on sale! Today was a good day.
Tomorrow is halloween, and I will dress as Minnie Mouse at work.

ahhhhhhhhhhh

Im so very very mad right now. actually i am swearing but i wont right that. I just wrote a huge post with tons of pictures, and it was doing its automatic saves, and the all of a sudden i must of highlighted the whole thing, pressed a key, and it all erased! i cant find it anywhere. so mad. and i have to go to work now.

New cake

Here is the cake from last nights class. It was hard, we learned the wilton rose, and I think it will take years of practice to get it. I have one class left next week. I dont think I will take level 2 yet because there is so much preparation! For every class you need a two level cake and 3 batches of icing! We also learned the shell border, thats the pink around the bottom.
I finished my first week at work, 5 days straight! Im starting to learn a lot of names of the residents, but theres so many! Yesterday we had scrapbooking on the schedule, and theres a volunteer to come in and do it. Well, it was a creative memories consultant, and I told her Im a scrapbooker, she said I will be so impressed! Well let me tell, i was not impressed! in the least!!!!
She cropped every picture into a circle. Used only white background paper, with a thin border sticker. Not my style at all!

Tomorrow I go home! yay!
Driving 4 hours to Toronto and then flying to Montreal.

2 pictures

This is the plane at the Windsor airport. The airport is the smallest airport I have ever seen. There is no separate place for arrivals or departures, and only one gate. One person at one desk, and one security line to take you to the one waiting area. The plane had 9 rows.


This is the first cake I made in my cake decorating class. its not perfect, you will see the creases in the white icing part, but im still happy with it. The rainbow was traced on wax paper in piping gel, and then transferred onto the cake, and then you use the piping gel as your outline. I put Jons name on to cheer him up! I bought 2 cool things, a trim n turn cake plate, it turns while you ice it to make it easier. And then I bought a cake dome, that makes it easy to carry the cake. Right now its sitting on the base. Next week we are learning the wilton rose.

Another day

hmmm
What to say.
Nothing exciting going on at all. Nothing to look forward to, except my trip home on thursday. After that, its work every week with no end in sight. weird! Dont know how people do it.
I had two real days so far, saturday and sunday ill be shadowing someone, and then on my own.

jon is back at school, trying to get back into it. And I am cleaning the apartment. Fun Fun.

In good news, I read the most fabulous book! My friend erin gave it to me, The Sleeping Beauty Proposal, excellent! its one of those chick lit books that you read in 2 days :)

This has not been a good few days.
I flew home because of Jons grandfathers funeral, and since ive been home, I have 2 more! Could you imagine!
Sadly, a very good friend of my parents, who has been suffering for a long time, and then all of a sudden my cousins father.
Tomorrow is jons grandfathers funeral, and I hope he will start feeling better and getting back to normal.

Sadly Ill be coming home tomorrow...

I am excited to see my family though,

and its a big jewish holiday tomorrow night, so it will be nice to be together.

Really sad news

Today I got the call that Jons grandfather has a cerebral hemorrhage and it is not good. So today was jons first day back at school after the 3 week strike, and when he walked in I had to tell him. It was not fun. They are very close just like me and my grandparents.
So we don't know what to do, if we should come first thing in the morning, or wait. Not to mention that I have my first day at my new job on Wednesday. Oh boy. This sucks, thats all there is to say.

By the way, jons grandpa, who he calls zeida, is really cool! Hes 87 and still wears jeans!

And to think, all day I was thinking I was going to come blog about having to bring the car in again today to Canadian tire!

Thanks to my friend Claude, I personalized my blog!
I saw the link from her blog, and it was really easy to do.

i got the job!

yay!
Its the one i had the interview with last week. I guess they liked me!
Its to do activities with seniors at a nursing home. The place is really nice, and its 20 minutes away, not bad. I start on Wednesday!

Something to look forward to...

I just signed up for a 4 week cake decorating class at Michaels. Im really excited, I always wanted to do it. And all the classes in october were 40% off, so its costing me 22$ for the 4 classes. I hope its fun.
And im going home in 3 weeks today!
