Dad's Birthday

Feb 02, 2012

Today Feb 2, was my dad's 62nd  birthday. Everyone ate strombolies, pizza and cake. And I had no problem with being the only one to eat chicken fingers. I got two down and then gave the rest to my daughter and nephew, it felt good not to feel like I was out of place, or "special". Everyone asked why I was just eating that. I said it has to due with the dough. It makes me sick. And that is all I needed to say, everyone understood. I had a sliver of cake. When I say sliver, I mean you could see threw it. lol And I was fine with that. I even made the cake for my dad at work. So it was special for him. It was a good day at work. I love to decorate cakes. So a specialist came in today and showed me a few more tricks and how to do some different cakes. She said I did awesome and should become the Asst. Manager. Wow! That made me feel so good that she thought I did that well. And there were three employees in the bakery and everyone asked me what to do, how to do things and of course what was going wrong. I did feel like the manager today. The specialist asked why they all come to me. I didn't know. I just took care of each question, problem or whatever it was as they came up. It just felt good. And I think the best part right now is that when I go to work there are construction workers in the store. And I already caught a couple taking a look at me, when I look at them they turn their heads. I am not use to that. I know construction workers are known to be like that. But when I was above 300 lbs. I never got looked at like this. It makes me want to look nice when I go to work. I put makeup on and just try to look nice. And putting makeup on in a bakery is daring since I have moist proof boxes that I am going in and out of, steam from the dish washer or the sinks. I am lucky I don't look like a racoon by the time day is done. lol
Well I blogged enough for the day. Just wanted to share the good things that happened today. If I become asst. manager I will let you know, I will love it and the raise does make even better. ;)
Have a great weekend.
