130 lbs

I gained a few pounds sometime in the past several months. I know it's not a big deal, but it's all i think about lately. I'm the biggest I've ever been in my life and my goal is to be the smallest i ever was (110). I'm not making much progress even though i am giving myself guidelines to follow. eh. maybe it's a slower process than i want it to be.

I'm riding my bike today in extreme Fresno heat. I have no car so i have no choice haha. Christians birthday is in 8 days so I'm running around figuring out where to get his gift. Hopefully it'll be as cool as I'm thinking it is.

I'm still looking into the bakery business. I'm even having dreams about it. hopefully that's a good sign.

So, the baking position didn't pan out. (no pun intended)

I really felt like I had it after the interview too! I guess you never can tell what's going on in the minds of those guys.

Maybe i needed it. I was feeling like since i had the interview i as good as had the job. How arrogant of me. In my defense, I have never before had an interview that didn't automatically lead to a job.

Since then, I'm thinking more and more about starting a business of my own. My goals are to one day own a small bakery, but what I'm thinking about is a whole lot smaller than that. doing something out of my house based solely on pre-orders. I have to look into it more and see if i can do it. what it will really entail.

all i know for certain is the name of my bakery will be

Dang Good Bakery

and my mini business could be

Dang Good Baked Goods

I'm resolving to attack this. I can do it. maybe not right away, but It'll come to fruition soon

crazy

about 11:30 Friday morning I was finishing up packing for a weekend camp trip with christian and his family, and I got a call from a number i didn't recognize. I was so busy with last minute stuff that I almost didn't pick up.

luckily I did. It was the manager of Great Harvest Bread co. calling me about a position that had just opened up at their breakfast place, Batter Up Pancakes. I couldn't believe it! I filled out an application in June, so i had just about given up on that place.

luckily I was still in town! had we left earlier that morning I would have missed the call. even if she'd left a message I wouldn't have been able to hear it until Monday afternoon as we drove back.

I have my interview in an hour. think positive thoughts.
