For the last 2 1/2 weeks I have labored over a proposal for one of my largest printing customers. The RFQ required hundreds of quotes, spread sheets and addendum. It was beyond painful. Today at about 3:00, just and hour before the deadline, I uploaded the fruit of my efforts. I was DONE! Yahoo! Happy Dance!!!!!!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I left work a little early to meet my friend Dennis for spirits and appetizers at BJ's Brewhouse. We were getting together to celebrate, dream and plan. Dennis is helping me with Heartsong Cookies. I want to help him find his special thing that makes his heart sing like Heartsong does for me. His dream is to buy a motorcycle and travel the country photographing covered bridges for a book to honor a promise to his sister who died of cancer. I love his dream...except for the motorcycle part. We talked about dreams, life and work. We had a blast!
After a two week hiatus, I planned to bake tonight. "Planned" is the operative word. I did not follow through. Instead I went shopping for disposable gloves and cookie sheets for the business. I watched Throwdown with Bobby Flay, followed by Top Chef. It was nirvana.
My late, late evening was spent studying for the food safety test I am taking at 4:15 tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck! I know this test is supposed to be easy, but it is stressing me out. Years have passed since I have taken a test of any kind. I don't want to study, but I need to keep my eye on the prize...my license.
Many hugs,
Kathy
