Well.  I thought it was about time I did some catching up.  A Lot has happened since my last post.  One being I got a NEW JOB!  I decided it was time to move on from my job as being a receptionist to being an official GRAPHIC DESIGNER.  As of two months ago I started working for a company called Mathur Media Group as a graphic designer!  It has been a great experience for me and lots of fun.  I work for a marketing agency and I get to create mostly ads for the local paper for about 10-15 different clients!  It keeps me very busy!  At first I was a little nervous and not sure if I would be able to be successful but over the last month I have started to feel more comfortable and confident in my abilities as a designer.  It has been a great experience to get out of the classroom and experience designing for real clients and printers….it has been interesting to see some of the differences from the classroom to the working world.  One of the hardest to get use to has been in the classroom everything is my idea….I get to choose the look, color, fonts, photos, copy……everything is my idea and I can create anything that I want.  In the working world…..it is the clients ideas…and somehow I have to figure out how to create what the client wants and in a way that looks halfway decent.  It is fun though, alot better than answering the phone all day….I have to say I don’t miss that one bit!

After about 45 minutes I have finished moving thebaileyblog.com from my hosting account at godaddy to my new gridserver (gs) at mediatemple. The process was pretty much a painless effort, with the exception of some minor character set issues. Since we dont have too many posts yet and it did not effect all posts, I was able to correct this problem with relative ease. Because of the switch, the blog will now keep the domain “thebaileyblog.com” instead of forwarding to the thebaileyblog.com.

So, one of my goals for the new year is to make sure that i write three blog posts for the month. They can be written at any time and any length about anything. My first month trying to reach this goal shows that I have much room for improvement seeing it is 11pm on the last day of the month. Hopefull next month will be better! I dedcided that i wanted to spend a little more time keeping this blog updated with events and the little things that happen in the Bailey Family not only to take time to appreciate and recognize the blessings that i have been given. Also I have so many thoughts that i can never seem to put words to and i hope that this will help me to better express myself………..two more posts to go!!!!

The other day I decided to make my most favorite desert…Cheesecake!!! I had never attempted to make one before, thinking that it was difficult and beyond my skills as a baker. One of my co-workers, Rebecca, and I were talking the other day about or favorite deserts. Mine being cheesecake of course! Rebecca told me that she had a cookbook just full of Cheesecake recipes!!! After looking at some of the recipes I found that it was actually very simple. So I decided to try making a raspberry cheesecake…..it was so yummy and very easy to make. just eggs, sugar, vanilla, cream cheese, and a little bit of raspberry jam. Oh….and a graham cracker crust too!!!

Even shorter

Well I did it again. Once I start cutting my hair….I just can’t stop. At the beginning of the summer I cut my long hair and loved it so much that I cut it even shorter the next time. It is addicting. And on a side note It is impossible to find the correct spelling for hair dew/due/do. Any suggestions?
