Today...was a good day. With Ryan. :)
[o] Slept in
[o] Lunch at Panera
[o] Boppin' around the mall
[o] Found Teavana, which is an extremely dangerous place to find if you even slightly like tea, LET ME TELL YOU
[o] Brought last two cupcakes to Shift D & Em, the last two night people who hadn't had any
[o] Hung out at my Starbucks and talked with D, Em, JC, and Aurelie, who happened to be there studying
[o] Had delicious dinner: bison burger with bacon, cheddar cheese, and barbecue side, with fries and fanTAStic kosher dills on the side
[o] Made cupcakes, my best so far: upped the leavener so they're light & fluffy instead of thick & dense, and upped the vanilla so they're tastier. Baking skill go up!
[o] Watched Zombieland, which I've wanted to watch for quite a while. Extremely funny and entertaining.
Tomorrow is back to work...poo. I'm still very upset over the transfer, to the point where it's making me think about a lot of things in my life. It seems silly but...there it is.
There is a bigger update coming up, I promise. Love to all!

Today!
Today:
[o] Finished the icing for yesterday's cupcakes. They're cinnamon-sugar, the icing got flavored with maple syrup. I'm calling them French toast cupcakes. :D
[o] Brought said cupcakes in, along with the oatmeal chocolate chip muffins. Both were met with smiles and good taste reviews, but the crown definitely went to the muffins. Need to make those again, maybe with some more pizzazz...hmmm...
[o] Work kinda sucked. I loved the people, but the shift dragged, and I just...I couldn't get out of my own head, kept dwelling on the transfer and how scared I am of the new store and how much I belong at this one and aaaaaa
[o] Got off work, came out, where Aurelie had been chilling between watching Shark Week with BJ and waiting for me to get off while they raided starting at 8. We attempted to eat out, but didn't feel up to all the people, and ended up picking up some groceries from Meijer and eating mac n cheese in front of a muted TV while talking for a few hours.
[o] Finally got on the computer, have posted some picture, caught up with Tumblr and Reader and Facebook, and am ready to climb into bed and watch some stuff with Ryan before sleepytimes.
Tomorrow is a quick trip to the bank, work for 4 1/2 hours, grocery shopping, and going out somewhere with Aurelie, LeAnna, and other peoples. Yays.

At Least They've Gotten A Glimpse Of The Real, Awkward Me.
I didn't sleep well last night. More specifically, I didn't do very well at getting to sleep.
Ryan and I got up and went to my Starbucks. My new Starbucks. I figured that I would go and introduce myself and make a nice first impression and be a grown-up if it killed me.
I was so awkward. I recognized all three of the workers, but only one recognized me, and when I mentioned that I'd be there in less than two weeks they were completely surprised. I ordered and paid for our drinks before Ryan reminded me that we were also getting something to eat. I hate to admit to one of my soon-to-be-co-workers that I couldn't remember her name, and she didn't really let me know if I needed to tell her mine again or not. Then they were busyish with drive-thru and I had to leave without really getting a chance to get to know them.
G'AH.
We got home, and I got myself ready to bake some Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins...only to discover that we didn't have enough chocolate chips. We had just enough time to run out and get some from CVS before Ryan had to go to work...then found that they don't sell chocolate chips at CVS. Every other thing you might need for baking stuffed in aisle, but not chocolate chips. So I got a couple big bars of Hershey Dark and went with it.
The evening was better. I baked the muffins, washed everything, then baked some cupcakes, and even ad-libbed with them! I didn't just make vanilla cupcakes, I made cinnamon sugar cupcakes. There would be maple frosting on them, but (a) we're out of confectioner's sugar, and (b) by the time I remembered the bowl of leftover icing in the fridge it was latish.
I exercised, which was extremely painful but rewarding. Roommates came home and we all vented and shared and stuff. Took a shower. Now I'm about to watch some Netflix in bed with Ryan. Feeling a little glum again about the transferring thing, but...*shrug*
The funny thing is, I've had two more things to post about here, but every day there's enough other stuff or not enough time. They're not big things, just...things worth posting.
One I can kinda put in a nutshell via a link: March Man Madness. It's weird and silly and random and you might not get it. There's not much to get, because it's weird and random, but...well, there it is.
The other thing will have to wait. For now, bed.
