lots of posting today

So putting aside this morning,and my somewhat crappy handling of it on the phone (I have to remember that not everyone deals with things the same way my family does... and to some people it could be scary--- we respond by learning as much as we can so we can understand... I think some people prefer to learn as they go... we go with the lets hear it all now and then we can go from there strategy)

outside of that, the afternoon was pretty great. Tonight was the last night at fish fry at the church. This was our second year working at the fish fry... and at least this year most of the people know I am an adult so I get a lot fewer "what grade are you ins?" and the "is this your confirmation service project?" questions... so that's an improvement... I'm not sure what they think I should look like to prove I am 25, but apparently I am not pulling it off! This year the best I got was thinking I was 18.... I'd cut my finger pulling the tabs off soda cans for the ronald mcdonald house and asked the woman near me if she had a bandaid ... I made some sort of silly comment about not having moved up to the "mommy purse" yet. She replied "oh deary, you've got lots of time, don't rush it." After she dug a bandaid out, I went back over the few feet to craig and then laughed that I didn't think a baby at 26 would be rushing it, and the woman overheard me... she laughed and said "in that case, do it now... don't wait... I had mine at 33 and they run me ragged!" and then continiued through the evening to make similar comments.
Ah, now if only the highschool boys would stop picking on me... if only they knew!

Anyway, I love working the fish fry, we get to meet people from the church and it allows us to give back to the church. Plus we get fed for free... so thats an added bonus! Every Friday evening in lent we spend about 2 hours doing whatever they tell us needs to be done... sometimes we serve food, or clear tables, sell sodas (and in a slightly nutty fashion reorganize the 100+ cases of soda by type, brand, and diet), and for Craig... sometimes he gets suckered into shoveling. Sadly tonight was the last night til next year... but I hope next year we will be out there again.

in other news, nothing too much in the plans for the weekend... the cleaning frenzy is somewhat on hold, but I need to start planning a bridal shower for a gal I know through work... we have 2 maybe 3 weeks to get it all together... but it should be a small bunch... maybe 10 girls for it or so? I think I can handle that without too much headache.

Oh... one last note... I may have gotten my first cake making job today! One of the women I work with, her sister's step-daughter (follow all that!) has decided to probably move her wedding date way up and needs to do it all on a budget... and my coworker having seen my cakes suggested to her sister (who has seen some of my work) that I could do it... which is true... and I can certainly do it for less than most anywhere else would charge for a wedding cake. So keep your fingers crossed... I may have my first gig!!!
