I'm singing along with Ado Annie (that's Oklahoma talk for those of you who are not musical fans!) - "I'm just a girl who cain't say no - I'm in a turrible fix!..." Well, although Ado Annie is singing about courting guys with ulterior motives, I'm referring to CAKE! I said I was going to call it quits until I could do the business properly, but when I'm asked to do a cake, I just can't say no!
My childhood best friend is getting married on May 1st. In Alabama. I am driving/flying (depending on my job status at the time) to Alabama to make her wedding cake. Can we say pressure? I was really hoping she would rather me sing or something instead. That is a lot less stressful!
The third Saturday in May, I'm going to a graduation/birthday party in Houston and - you guessed it! - making the cake. This one is my fault, though. I found a cake idea that fit too perfectly, I had to do it!
The fourth Saturday in May is my 10 year high school reunion. Hard to believe that I've been out of school for ten whole years, but here we are! I'm pretty sure I'll need to make a cake for that occasion, too.
And finally, the fifth Saturday in May is the wedding of a friend of a friend. They want a fairly easy cake; however, any time I am doing the cake for someone's wedding, I get very stressed out!
So, if I really want to put the cake business on hold, I need to learn how to say "No!"
I also have a 10K race coming up in a couple weeks. On one hand, I feel like I'll do fine, but lately my runs have not been very good. I don't know if I'm pushing myself too hard or what. I started going on social runs and I really like them! There is just something easier about running with a group. I'm hoping that on race day, I'm feeling like my normal running self and am able to push myself for a personal best time! I'll be running with three friends and the race is in Austin, so we will get to spend one night in Austin. I think it will be a fun time!
