The thunderstorms are supposed to be in Los Angeles by tomorrow and rain for a week and a half straight. It seems that everyone is taking advantage of this 70-degree Saturday and having parties! I have two big orders today (just delivered one) and then a text at 7 a.m. asking for more cupcakes for my morning order. Yikes! I jumped up and got to work.
I am on my lunch break at the moment and paying my bills (I got paid yesterday). Before I pay them though, I think I'm going to add a new resolution to my list - pay myself first. It's a no-brainer. An easy and obvious decision to make. But that doesn't mean I've ever done it with any success. It's hard to accept saving for a rainy day when it only rains twice a year in California.
Today I will put 10% of every paycheck and cake order into my savings account and prepare for summer when I might possibly not have a job. I will sign up to sub summer school like last year but the hours are not guaranteed. Can't sign up until May, though.
There is still that option of getting a summer pastry job at one of the local theme parks. I say theme parks because they have crazy hours and I can possibly work more when they are open until 1 a.m. every day. I worked at Disneyland back in the 90s so I know what I am getting myself into.
I'll post pics of my orders tomorrow but in the meantime, I've gotta pay the man before I get back to the buttercream. :)
