About Me

My photo
My name is Carissa, and I am a graduate of The Art Institute with a diploma in Baking and Pastry. I like baking, cooking, and singing. I have also recently become a fan of working out and eating healthy. I am a celiac, meaning no gluten for me. You may think that it is odd that I am a celiac who went to school to make fabulous pastries that are full of gluten, and I agree; but i love doing it. So this blog will be filled with food and workout related material, along with some other random stuff that comes to my mind.

Amazing

My job is absolutely amazing! I get to work with my best friend, look at hot,available military personnel, and drink tea all day! Next week u get to start baking the pastries for the coffee shop. That will mean some oober early mornings, but it will definitely be fun to get into my field of work.

Easter is on Friday, and I will be spending the weekend in Bismarck with family. Hopefully I will be getting a rook piercing too. :) I might bring some pictures of the tattoo I want down too. I need this tattoo ASAP! They are like lays---can't have just one. Haha. It is going to be a peacock and it will be BEAUTIFUL!!!

My birthday I in 26 days also. I will be 22 soon and I'm excited!

Wow

Wow it's been a long time.

So in the last couple weeks I have lost 5 pounds(yay!), been a nanny for an 8 week old baby, and gotten a new job. Yes that's right!..a new job. I will be a barista and a baker. It should be a lot of fun. But also a lot of hard work! But it will be great experience for me. Im super excited to be a barista. And I am working at Lalee Cakes. My friends mom owns it and she asked me if I wanted to work for her! That is not something that happens too often. I also applied for a kitchen job at Job Corps, but turned it down since I got this baking job. I will still be at Herbergers. It will be more tolerable tho since I won't be there 40 hours a week. But I start tomorrow training at the coffee shop. Hopefully that goes well. And then I have volleyball tomorrow night.

Updates

So I turned down the marketplace job because I wouldn't actually get to bake. I applied at job corp but I don't think I want to work there. It would be weird serving kids my own age, plus I would only make a tiny bit over minimum wage. Hopefully I can work for my friends mom at hr shop. I would actually get to bake things that I want to. I would also like to work at sweet and flour if the opportunity arises. Good night. I work early in the morning.

Makes me sad

I fell like I regressed when I moved back to Minot. Now I don't know what I want to do with my life. I would like to be a teachers aide, a baker, or a bum. I feel like I wouldn't care if I got a baking job right now. I think it's just because I haven't baked much in almost 6 months. I could have a marketplace job, maybe job corp, or I could work for my friends mom. I am pretty sure I will need a baing job just so I have the experience to put on my resumé. I am just so unsure now. Hopefully I can figure it out soon. It also has to be a job with benefits since i wont be able to stay on my parents for much longer....that is if I am even still on it. :S well, I'm going back to sleep for a few hours.

Not so fit right now

So I haven't worked out for a while. I've been eating pretty good, but the only exercise I get is the 8 hours of walking/standing I do at work. I forgot my lunch for work today and I am starving. I wish I had brought something. But I will live. I have to go back to work now so I will write again another day.

Long time

So I have now been home for a few weeks and I would much rather be back in California or Minneapolis. I am also kind of trying to find another job. I will be applying for a full time baker helper at Marketplace Foods. I know that I went to school for food, but I just don't know how much I really want to do that right now. I know that I will have 2 jobs for a while.

I haven't worked out for a week now and I feel like crap. I just want to workout but I hate going to the Y. It is way too crowded for my liking. I will have to find some way to workout soon or I will go absolutely crazy.

Well, I had better go fill out that application now. Hopefully I can get that job. I will need the benefits and monies.

Have a great night!

ND

I am back in Minot, ND now. I do not want to be here. it was really hard leaving cali on friday. I have to admit that I cried. It was very sad leaving my sister. We get along really well now. It may be a hard few weeks adjusting back to life here. I just want to get out of here as soon a humanly possible.

I will be doing my workout tomorrow at Our Redeemers with my brother. i need to workout so i dont feel so bad. i also got some protein powder at the base today, and i also went to the commissary and got lots of eggs and chicken.

Wishing

Right now, I am wishing that someone would call me and offer me a job so that I don't have to leave Cali. My dad is flying in today to help me load up my stuff, and then he is going to drive back with me. What a nice dad! I just wish he wasn't coming...because then it would mean that I found a job. It is going to be a hard next few days since I am close to my sister and now I just have to pack up and leave. I'm just hoping not to have a melt down on Friday when we leave.

I fed Moses last night. he tried to bite me! but it is ok, because it had been a week since he ate. O, Moses is a snake. He is so cute and I play with him every night. So I will also miss him too.

I just realized that my life is quite boring. So maybe no one will actually read this. I am also in the process of trying to lose weight and get in better shape. I am eating better and working out everyday, and I feel so much better already.

Ok, I am done now. Have a great day!

First Post

Well, this is my first post, so I will start with giving you a quick glance at my current living situation.
I am living in California with my sister right now. I have been here for 3 months now and was unsuccessful in finding a job. This means that I will be moving back to ND since jobs are plentiful there. Hopefully I'm only there for another year or so. I hope to move to Minneapolis or Denver after I save up some money. Who knows if that will even work out. I will just have to take it one day at a time.

Throughout this blogging journey, I will be posting some things about working out, weight loss, healthy living, and of course...FOOD(mostly gluten free); because face it, we all love food! I have figured out how to make some usually unhealthy food into some really healthy eats. I will definitely share those recipes once I figure out the actual measurements for all of the ingredients.

If you are reading this, thank you for following my blog; whether you just stumbled upon it or were looking for it.
