Summer is HERE

After the crappiest start to "summer" ever, from going back to State College alone to the rainy, yucky weather, summer is finally (and officially) here and I personally think that I started it off in just the right way.  I had an excellent weekend.

Friday

I had Friday off (well I had the whole week off but whatever) so Kyle and I went to Ohiopyle.  Yes, I finally made it.  We didn't have a picnic or take the dog but just getting to Ohiopyle for the first time this summer was enough.  It wasn't too busy and the water wasn't too cold nor was it too hot.  It was perfect.

The natural water slide.  I didn't take this picture and we didn't go on it but next time...

Saturday

On Saturday an old friend from high school had her graduation party.  Also, her mom asked me to make the cake for the part but more on that in another post.  Anywho, it was really nice to see her and her mom and some other people that I haven't seen in a while.  There was also beer and great food so that makes for a good time.  It was fun and just the kind of party I like to go to, not too big, not too small and nothing formal.

The cake, not my best work but I was told it was delicious.

Sunday

We were supposed to go see Alice Cooper but we didn't.  In all honesty I'm not a huge Alice Cooper fan so it didn't bother me all that much.  We spent the afternoon canoeing on the Yough with my family which was a blast and then in the evening after deciding to forgo the concert Kyle took me to dinner and out for ice cream and it was just the perfect night.

Don't rock the boat

If this past weekend was any indication of how the summer is going to go I'll be pleased.  It was so much fun and it was nice to get out and do stuff.  Happy Monday!

The Weekend is Almost Here!

Hey all, I wanted to shoot you a heads up that Blue-Eyed Baker won't be happening this week because...

I started a new job!

Okay, so it's not that great, but it pays well.  It's just a babysitting gig for a family with 2 little girls that are sometimes adorable and sometimes not.  I won't lie and say they're angels because most kids are not angels. It has been a loooong week.  I've watched them all week 7 am to 3:30 pm and I've still got one day left. Thankfully however, there's another girl that I'm going to alternate with so we don't have to babysit all 5 days of the week.  It's a little much.

Plus I have these classes that these professors are giving a ton of work for.  Sometimes it seems like a little too much work.  Like my marketing professor gives us like 8-10 assignments due over the course of a week.  That's a little excessive but I need the class so I can complain and complain and complain but I still have to do the work.  Whatevs.

But the weekend is almost here, after one more day of babysitting I'm home free.  I can sleep in Saturday morning and do whatever I want (probably homework, meh).  And next week I don't have to babysit so I will definitely be baking.

Welp, Happy Thursday!
