my son said something the other day that was very true - why is it that your bed gets more comfortable the closer it is to the time you have to get up? I have discovered that I cherish going back to bed for 20 minutes - just 20 minutes of lying there in my toasty bed, being all comfy ( Read more... )

See - here is the part I hate. I am here, at my shop, at least 8 hours a day, if not 11 or 12, 6 days a week and the one day I am not here (Tuesday) I spend it trying to get EVERYTHING else accomplished. And I see my friends all out for breakfast or snuggling with their families or having lazy days in their PJ's or watching the waves crash on the ( Read more... )

Since I decided our new goal was to hit 10 lunch sales per day (I decided Monday!) - we sold 11 Monday, 11 Wed and 13 today! PLUS a couple breakfasts! And it's only 2!!! I feel so like a real business-person. Not for long, I am sure, but for right now - WOOT!!! We were seriously busy this morning. Hopping even. We had a big book club in the ( Read more... )

to better myself. It's tough, because the things I am going after are deep seated, long term issues like jealousy and a superiority complex. I come by them honestly, I think, but I don't want them anymore. I want to be more self-positive. As such, I am trying to respond to my personal jealousy issues with inward reflection of the blessings in my ( Read more... )

So I shall post today about yesterday. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and we had been invited to our very first NYE party ever. But - since we don't like to go out on NYE and we really don't like to have to drive, we declined with heavy hearts, planning to just stay home like usual instead. Then, on SUnday, a friend who live 3 miles away invited us ( Read more... )

was a good day at the shop. We got about 5 inches of snow today, so it was relatively quiet, customer wise. The original scheduling for today was I would be there open to 2, Troy from 12 - 4, Sallie from 2 - 6 and Karen from 6 - close. Well - due to the snow, Sallie AND Karen called out. SO I ended up working open - 6:30, when I closed the shop ( Read more... )

So - haven't been around much - mostly because I am not a blog about what is going on type of person, and also because I am guessing about 2 people actually read this site (Hi Kass and Katie!) But - and yes, this is a prologue for those of you reading this - I have come to the conclusion that I want to be writing about my business somewhere. I don' ( Read more... )

So - when one is feeling very much not well and that leads one to ponder if they are sick enough for a hospital stay and the first thing they think is "Wow. That would be a like a vacation!", do you suppose that means one has WAY too much on their plate? ;) I am 1 week away from the end of this semester, for which I am grateful. I still have to ( Read more... )

So - I have made it through my first 4 days gluten free - and I KNOW you were all worried about me.  ;)  I went grocery shopping yesterday.  Ugh.  It took me almost 2 hours and cost 50 bucks more than it usually does.  However, - I found gluten free soy sauce, Lea& Perrins, salad dressing, BBQ suace to make pulled pork BBQ, and discovered that my ( Read more... )
