Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 1/11/14

What a week.  It started off rough… I had to end a pretty toxic business relationship on Monday.  I’m very happy to be through with it but it was stressful and unpleasant.  To be honest, I didn’t realize that someone could be so dishonest and immoral in a professional setting.  Even in my years in finance I didn’t see anything quite like this.  Generally I’m relieved to start fresh on that front, though!  Biggest lesson learned?  Get everything in writing.

I did get a couple of days to disconnect from the drama and unwind at home, though.  I hung out with my mom which was a lot of fun now that she is back on her feet again!  And this week, I’ll be in San Francisco for a few days which I’m really excited about.  I didn’t get an official “vacation” around the holidays so this will be a good opportunity to officially be away, just for a bit.  If you have any SF food suggestions, please let me know!
