I'm taking Saturday classes for 8 weeks. In graphic design (the starter courses for a certificate, so...baby graphic design. Which, from the looks of my exclamation points, is just where I should be starting.)
And the best part? My work will PAY for it.
Hell yeah, professional development.
(Reason #271 my boss is a ROCK STAR. Plus, she's already looking for projects where I can use my "design skills." Be still, my heart.)
I'm so giddy.

In other news, our wedding cake top was PURE DELICIOUSNESS. I am not even joking, it tasted like an icing-caked donut. Amazing. The only problem was, after getting a FOUR COURSE MEAL at The Melting Pot, my stomach was about to explode. So the added cake meant I was still full when I woke up this morning. Oh, gluttony. {Our mantra was: "You only have a first wedding anniversary once!" So we ate like there was no tomorrow.}
I have always dreamed of going to the Melting Pot - a delicious fondue restaurant- but never before have gone. It was everything I've dreamed of. Dark chocolate fondue with marshmallow cream and Oreos was the best thing I've ever tasted. If I ever am forced to chose a last meal - that will be it. Yes, fondue can to be a meal!
Eff I'm jealous. I'd LOVE to take free web and design courses.

And that's so cool your cake was also yummy- I don't remember if I told you in my last comment but I don't think I preserved the cake top that well -- I guess I'll tell you for sure next month!

ReplyDeleteMmm, the Melting Pot is one of my favorite restaurants! I usually make my husband take me there for my birthday because I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteYou ate the cake on top of that dinner? I'm glad it was good!
ReplyDeleteYou make the Melting Pot sound so good. I live close to two but I'm not sure if it's fun for the milk-allergic.
Congrats on the anniversary! The dinner sounds amazing, and yum for the cake!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the design classes, too!
