CUPCAKES

So, it's been a busy week. Monday I graduated grade 12... GO ME! Tuesday was my prom, it was really fun and Unca Mike took some awesome pictures. Thanks! Wednesday was my first physio appt, they gave me 2 exercises to do, and want me to ice my knee several times a day. They took away my brace, and told me I shouldn't sleep with it on... bright side, I can drive now. I also have a brand new car, a Hyundai Accent 2001.

Anyways, for my graduation, Unca Mike and Peggy got me a handy dandy very large cake decorating set, his sons and their mother got me a beautiful silver necklace, it's a heart-shaped key. My aunts and grandmother gave me money, and my aunt on my moms side bought me a golden baking book.

Now, I don't want to copy Julie and Julia or anything but I plan on making every recipe in that book, and telling you about it. I love the idea of trying to make every single one of the recipes. I've already made 2, Party cupcakes, and the Red Velvet Cake  recipe, which I turned into cupcakes. Both of which turned out very well. Everyone enjoyed them very much, including me, and I've managed to barely eat any. :)

For now, I'm back at my uncle dars, which is unfortunate, because I don't like being there, but it keeps me in town, and is a lot cheaper on gas. I'm applying for another job at the local grocery store in the bakery, hopefully I get it and I don't have to work at OLS. I also hope that it's a full time job, not part time. I don't really want to work at OLS, but it's the only place here that will offer someone my age full time work with benefits, that's over minimum wage. I'm torn.

Spaghetti :)

So yesterday I had the best spaghetti I've had in a long time. It was sweet, and delicious. It consisted of 2 cans of thick and rich spaghetti sauce, 2 cans of tomato soup, 2 tablespoons of italian seasoning, a big scoop of brown sugar, some green peppers, some crushed chili peppers, some mushrooms and some warshestire (spelling) sauce. All thrown in a slow-cooker and cooked all day. When all was said and done, I was very happy, until I ended up getting sick later that evening. I don't know what's wrong with me, but when I eat a bit meal lately I get sick. It's strange.

Did I mention I made a terrible batch of cookies the other day? I was working on my baking project and I threw all the ingredients in the bowl and mixed them by hand. They were very crunchy (read: hard), and not very good at all. Lesson learned: follow the directions, or you get icky cookies.

Later!

Oh the Wonderful World of Injuries

So it's been about a month since I dislocated my patella. YAY. I'm still in the leg brace, and not really enjoying it, however, I do have one calf of steel! Next week is a busy week, and I plan on trying to walk before then. I have graduation on Monday, prom on Tuesday and my first Physiotherapy appointment on Wednesday. After talking to an orthopedic surgeon at Cheo I found out I need 6 weeks of physio, followed up by another appointment, if the physio doesn't seem to be helping, I will need surgery, on both legs, either to shorten my tibia, or to shorten the legament that holds my patella in place.

There's nothing more fun than hurting yourself.

On a brighter note, I have a full time job (almost) I have to go get my criminal record check tomorrow, but after that I will be starting at a call centre on June 26th. Until then, I have no money, unless Uncle Dar is going to pay me for babysitting his kid.....

I never fail to surprise myself though. After about a week of complaining that I couldn't walk around as much as I'd like, I said "Screw it" and walked around all I wanted. So, I baked. Oh boy did I bake. Right up to the point where my teachers decided even though I had a doctors note to stay home, I still needed to do all the assignments that were given. So I had to do a tape sculpture, a portfolio, a three minute long stop-motion video, a three minute long commercial, design a website, plan a business for my baking class, and write my written exam for baking class. This was all in the span of about.... two weeks. What proves that I am absolutely amazing, I finished them all. Early. Therefore, I am officially finished high school for the remainder of my life, and I am enjoying every minute of it!

Yes, Dr. Hing is still there, and he's still an asshole.
