Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man

YAY! So, I finally have a job. Actually, I have two jobs now. I will be working full time for Provo Macey's Bakery. I've been trying to look for a bakery job to gain experience in preparation to possibly someday open my very own bakery... but the problem with that, or every job for that matter, is that everyone wants you to have experience. But how do you gain real work time experience if no one will hire you because you dont' have experience?! I mean, seriously, that is so annoying. So a job FINALLY worked out after this month of unemployment. After being unemployed for so long, one starts to wonder if maybe they made the wrong choice of quitting their old job. But then I think back to those days of Santa Barbara and I remember that yes, yes I was supposed to get out of that place. So now I'm happy that I will be working once again. Now the bakery job isn't EXACTLY what I was looking for, but it's fulltime with benefits, and I will have a chance to grow and advance and someday get to the job that I want, after I get a little experience and whatev to get to the top. That should be fantastic.
I also have a job with Art City Music Academy teaching group piano lessons in their new Draper location that they will be opening up in just a couple weeks. I am so excited for this job, though I know I need to keep working on memorizing those lesson plans and getting ready! It will be fun though and I think I'll be a good teacher. :) So that should be a fun little side job twice a week for now.
The only lame thing about working in a bakery is that you don't often have Saturdays off... so now I don't exactly know what to do about my BYU football tickets that I spent so much money on for the season! I'd really like to go to them, so I'm hoping I'll have work off, but I might have to end up selling them to some lucky soul. Maybe Maceys can take pity on me and let me off by noon those days so I can go. Let's hope so.

Oh yeah, I didn't get a chance to say so, but if I'm still around and you get your bakery/cafe thing going, I would love to help with that. I think it sounds like a great idea. And congrats on the job!

Ha ha ha. Lauren, will you please be my drink specialist at my bakery/cafe?! That would be awesome! :)

You seemed to always be baking goodies, so this is perfect! Also, I hope you get off for some games at least--that is the best part of fall!
