Tired

I’ve had three big things happen to me of late and none of them are important, but its my life and I’m tired, and it’s what I’m writing about.

We had our first big order due today at 8:15am at Dell – 1500 cookies. When the cookies got to my house yesterday, many were not done well. Its disappointing that our product is not more consistent at this point in the store’s history, to say the least. So, at 12:30am I had to book it back to the store for a few hours to redo them with the manager. It was fun. I felt young again staying up late, looking around to see who was up at that time, the moon, the wind… night time alone on the sidewalk is kind of cool.

Delivered them at 8:15 this morning – awesome! Did what we had to do and it was a job well done. Hammer will fall at our 1pm meeting today, though.

Second thing of no importance was that I got a real schedule of my life for the week. I can’t tell you how excited I am by this. I love schedules! I haven’t been able to have one for the longest time as the store has produced a massive amount of chaos. But now, we finally have it somewhat under control and I have a schedule that allows me to hang with the kids to projects for a couple of days a week, work on the store a few days a week, actually clean the house and actually move my body around at the Y. It is so AWESOME!!!!! The all caps really helps me out to show how excited I am by this as I actually think it is Possible to do the plan. Whew!

The last thing is not necessarily something big, but was a moment of creativity that actually played itself out and that is always fun to watch and do. Artie and Vaden, my husband and his friend for the past decade or so (also are both cookie store owners) (Artie is also my husband), decided to make Caveman Pizza. This would be pizza made from scratch, using flint to start the fire, mortar and pestle to grind up the tomatoes, hunks of meet for the top, and fresh balled mozzarella. Much investigation was conducted about when certain food items were used or came into existence. Hence, our caveman pizza is more ‘general primitive’ as the Aztecs had use of tomatoes, but the European area primitives did not and didn’t even think it was edible until the 16th or 17th century. Disappointingly, I missed the conversation about when yeast came along.

It was fun, it was good times, it also took forever.

Here are some pictures…

We gave up around 11pm and a friend, who still had some energy, took over, thankfully, as we were starving. She wasn’t as pure, and so used the round cutter, as you can see in the pictures. But we didn’t really care. I passed out about a half hour later as I was too danged tired.
