From the baking of the desserts, to the strategically packing everything into my car, to the setting of the table; the stress and rush is totally worth it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This past weekend, I had a dessert bar order (photos to follow ...in another post). A childhood friend of mine was having a HUGE wedding and wanted a HUGE dessert bar to match. So much emotions flowed through my body the first hour or so I was there....THEY TOTALLY FORGOT THE DESSERT TABLE...AND THE TABLE CLOTH!!!! -_____- ... seriously, panic mode. I felt a mini break down coming.... I rushed on over to speak with the coordinator (quick cap: i shared with her the situation ...asking for help...and she responded with "what do you want me to do about it!")....SERIOUSLY!?!??!??? (slap her in the face...jk...but she totally deserves one) but anyways, all in all everything came together in the end. I'm mighty glad it did. I was able to attend the wedding ceremony and celebrate with the bride and groom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">even with that kinda stress, I still see hope to be in this industry one day (full time). I'd take this kinda stress any day over a desk job...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10 year goal. still counting down....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">on the brighter side, I baked some lemon bars ^^</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Its a bit on the denser side. I think i'll try the same recipe but maybe whip the egg whites and fold the lemon mixture into it to see what it'll do to the texture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">after some trial and errors, i will share the recipe and how each of them came out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And I know you're probably thinking " why seattle?" but lets just get past that question.<br />
<br />
It was a nice time well spent away from California and I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls to go with. We explored the wonderful city with our smart phones in hand and I will tell you it was quite a journey. People here in socal drive everywhere, so walking from place to place, up and down the hilly blocks came as bit a of challenge. **side note: did you know that they only sell liquor in state owned liquor stores? we found that out the hard way -____-. anyways that was an interesting first day adventure.<br />
<br />
I'm currently in the process of editing my pictures and putting everything together. But I figured it'd be nice to just give a quick update (without pictures) before all my thoughts disappear into thin air. The food was good and the city was pretty. You don't know green until you see GREEN. My goodness, I dont think I've EVER seen such green leaves, trees, stems, you name it. Nature is greatly appreciated there. It was literally a breath of fresh air haha.<br />
<br />
<br />
quick info about life:<br />
Things seem to be going in a positive route and I really do thank God for that.<br />
1. last day at current work this friday.<br />
2. new job starts next week.<br />
3. 2 weddings to attend.<br />
4. 2 wedding dessert bar orders.<br />
5. mini retreat<br />
<br />

Who is willing to try out new hot spots and who are patient with my picture takings (of food). Anyways, a couple of my lady friends and I decided that we would go on a mini adventure around LA. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With a friend already out in LA, because of work, we decided that the rest of us would take the metro. it was like a scene out of a movie: last friend arrived at my house at 3:30pm. we quickly drove over to my parents store to leave the car and walk on over to the metro station (other side of railroad tracks). realizing the quickest way around was to walk/slide/run down the hill, we all held tightly onto the rails and down to the street we went. ran to the station, purchased out tickets and in we went into the train.(6:49 exactly on the dot)</div><br />

Susan came to the table with a lot of excitement and ideas. A pink themed 12 ft table was in order. I started drawing pictures in my head and didnt know how we could possibly come up with a tablescape that would fill all 12ft. Susan provided all the beautiful props for the table (which totally matched her personality).
