The Start of Something New!

Friday started out like any other day.  I got up woke Desmond up to take the trash out and left for work.  I was at work for exactly 35 minutes when our manager called me to say "Can you come over to my office".  I knew right then something was wrong.  I drove across the street to her office right away.  When I walked in I see the manager, the general manager, and the head of human resources from Chicago.  So you know I was like "What the hell is going on."  They sat me down and explained that they were cutting back and that I was being let go.  I sat there while they went over the severance package and told me how they wouldn't fight unemployment because it wasn't my fault that I was being let go.  So an hour later I got in my car and drove home after all my goodbyes.  I decided to go on as planned and get myself a laptop.  I met my sister at Sam's and after alot of comparing I picked one that I thought was perfect.  I got home and plugged it up and once all the set ups were done the background popped up and guess what it was.  A bakery!  I have been wanting to start my own baking business for as long as I can remember.  So of course I said "this is a sign".  So I've decided to start my own business and I will me sharing all of my ups and downs with you everyday.  I was thinking of Julia and Julia and thought maybe I'll bake my way through a cookbook.  I hope you enjoy and give me great feed back and ideas.  Maybe you can even send me questions and recipes that you would like me to try and I will let you know how they were.  So follow me through my journey to start something new.
