long weeek- midnight pics and cookies

picture show time!

seriously. i feel like i have been so busy, and not sleeping, and busy, and things. the last week has been a blur, and this is only the beginning of the season.



because no call of duty launch is complete without mountain dew and doritos. oh, and pizza. because pizza.




we had a mini tournament, and by the end of the night, people had wrapped around the back of the store. it was a little smaller than normal call of duty launches, but i think it went pretty good. i kind of feel like people are getting bored, or something. i mean, it is the 13th game in the series. or people are going digital. or something.

this one was thursday night. had a rough nigh on saturday, i think, that for some reason i couldnt sleep, so by 4:30 am i gave up, woke up and got some water, and read a book for an hour. i finished the cookies for fallout on monday between work. monday was a bad day. it was a pizza and brownies kind of day, for serious. bad to the point where my toe is bruised from going in to rage mode, followed by meltdown mode. when you are tired, hungry, stuck at work for an extra 3 hours when you have other things to do because nothing works, yeah. it's about time for pizza and brownies.

anyway, here are some more cookies, and my vault boy standee!



dont mind me. i was tired as hell. i still am. #terribletiredselfie


arent these great though? i mean, sure, vault boy looks a little derpy, but i was in a rush to finish them. i think they came out okay. everyone enjoyed biting his head off. for the logos, i actually cut them out of thick paper with a box cutter (if i had an exacto knife i would use that), and used spray color (silver pearl) on a dried sugar cookie icing.

speaking of removing heads, or something like that, my standee doubled as a face-in-the-hole prop.



i got a couple people to pose with him, but most people didnt really care much. people in this area are way so not fun. at the mall store i worked at, they would have loved it and been screaming and crazy and everything. it's probably because everyone around here are rich and stuff.

the guy on the left was one of my regulars at the mall, and the right is my boss. at least a few people were willing to have fun. i did a little trivia contest, too, and gave out some prizes. only a few people participated in that, but this kid basically wiped the floor with everyone and won fallout.

aside from big game releases, we have had to re arrange everything....again. we are getting our seasonal product so it is hard to find places to put things. we also have no payroll to have anyone come in. its pretty great, and extremely tiring.

i have a cake to make next week, too, for the next midnight sale: star wars! and yes, it will be a star wars themed cake.

by the way, do you see this dumb face? i want to smoosh it. i was sending my mom pictures of my foot and threw this in there to confuse her. seriously, my big toe is all swollen and discolored. isnt that neat? im sure you all wanted to hear that, but i like to share what's going on once in a while. :o

ron is going away this weekend to see his brother in pa, so i will be all alone most of the weekend. it kind of sucks, i dont really wanna be alone. i am working some, but i think my mom and kris are coming out for a bit on saturday and sunday. i have my cake to work on, too. if i can, i will probably start it tomorrow. i want to make sure i have plenty of time to get it done and make it awesome, i only have to please all the star wars fans coming to my midnight, and it's my sony rep's birthday. and my boss's birthday. so yeah. #challengeaccepted

so yeah. i got to finish my poster for the door, make up some trivia and stuff for the midnight, also. we'll see how that goes i guess. i will leave it at that for now. may or may not post sunday, i probably won't have anything done, and i dont want to give it away before hand, since i didnt tell my sony rep what kind of cake im making. so, have a good weekend, all, and i should be back next wednesday! thanks for reading! :)
