The few that read my blog on a regular basis will notice my story telling ability has gone downhill the last several weeks. Sleep deprivation does funny things to the brain. For me, it saps every ounce of creativity and leaves me forgetful and discombobulated. Never has this been more apparent than the last two days. Keys were misplaced, blog typos were made, Costco wine work folders vanished in thin air. I felt frustrated and out of control...not good for a control freak like me.
When I finally arrived at Costco after an hour of searching for my work materials (and never finding them), I took a deep breath. I forgot how relaxing sitting on my butt for 4 hours can be. It gave me a chance to organize my thoughts and make to do lists. I got to savor the familiar sounds of Vera's goofy cackle and Daniel's "May I help you?" I got hugs from Minerva and lots of inquiries about the success of my cookie business. As I sat there I realized this would really be my last time working at Costco. I tried to quit several weeks ago and got talked into coming back. I love the people, but desperately need to time to make my business a success.
Tomorrow Kenda and I are meeting at the kitchen for a little oven and recipe experimentation. We are testing out the new Otis Spunkmeyer Oven and trying to find the trick to the kitchen's convection oven. We are going to try out a new flavor combination - Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond and bake some old standbys White Chocolate Blueberry Pecan and Toasted Pecan Chocolate Chip. Hopefully we will be able to fit in some of my website homework assignment and take photos for the blog.
Many hugs,
Kathy
