Strawberry Temptations

I've made my decision after giving it much thought and I have decided that I'm going to be a baker. My sweetooth convinced me that this could be an exciting job for me, plus I'll never be hungry. For the first time ever I am really excited to be going to school, I can not wait. When I was in 2nd grade I wanted to be a baker and in 8th grade we had to take a test on what our career is going to be by what our interests were and guess what mine was...cake decorator. So really I knew it all along that this was my future and it took me this long to figure it out. I'll be done in 2 years and then I'm off to Chicago..which is where I went this last weekend.

I already know where I want to live and I have ideas on places where I want to work. And someday I'll be making these...

My wonderful indian friend has come to visit me twice in the past week or so. I hope she comes around more, along with all the others.

I'm knitting the boyfriend a sweater. I'm a little afraid because every knitter knows what happens when you knit your boyfriend a sweater. For those of you who don't know, there is a curse that your relationship will end if you make one. I'm hopefull and it sure is taking me darn tootin long time.

I also made this a while ago, but never got around to taking any pictures. My first felting project too, I'm very proud of myself. I want to felt more things, but now with me starting school we'll see how much knitting I actually get done.

I quit Menards and they were devastated. Word spread fast, by 9:00 everyone in the whole store knew. They don't want me to leave, they're even offering me other positions. I never knew I made this much of an impact on that store. I might actually miss it.

Biking to Doors Open Minneapolis 2025

This weekend was Doors Open. We had missed the last couple years so I had a big list of places to see. I thought we'd drive to get to more places quickly, but Scott insisted we bike as it was easier to park. Theo and I were ready to take some pics. We started out at the Rand Tower. My personal favorite Minneapolis skyscraper. Next we got to see inside a manhole. They had robots patrolling the sewer and a live video feed on a TV. Then we walked over to the Dayton's Project. I really wish their food hall idea would have followed through, it's sad to see it so empty. It's still mostly empty and I'm not sure if they know what to do with the space. We got to go in the nooks and crannies of the old JB Hudsons space, like this the old window display. There was lounge or bar that was opening soon to the public.

G.G. and Grandpa Make a Fall Visit

My parents were finally able to make it back up for a visit. This time we'd take them on more than a few adventures. Wait, weren't they just here a few months ago. I guess it's all relative. If you mean 6 months ago, yes. After dropping Meadow off at school we walked over to Our Kitchen for breakfast. They only have counter seating so the high chairs are the clip on kind. I had a job in the morning, so missed breakfast and was hungry when I got back. After Scott returned we took my dad for another walk to get some beers. My mom decided to take a nap instead. We walked over to Tap Society. I was hungry and everyone else wanted a drink. There's one employee that helps you check in and then you get a card that allows you to pour beers from the tap wall. They also have reasonably priced burgers. It's nice for when you want to try a beer, but don't want a full glass. We took a long detour, walked by the fancy ho...
