Moment of Truth

Ok I was told late yesterday evening that the dessert I was bringing to the Memorial Day gathering I was invited to would also be used as the birthday cake for 1 of the attendees.
Hmmm, can we say "Preasure!"

Making stuff for friends is easy, they will tell you its good no matter what. Faceless many at work is easy too, there are 6000 employees in my plant, odds I'll never meet the folks who have thus far sampled my cookies. But now here are folks I know, and 1 of their relatives is getting my creation for her birthday cake.

Today's creations; Peacan cookie base, blueberries across half the cookie, rasperries across the other half, covered with cheesecake.

2nd creation; peacan cookie base, extra large and very sweet strawberries covering half the cookie, other half is left empty for those who like standard- new york style cheesecake.

Wish me luck.

Music of Choice

Blaring some tunes as I clean my house;

Supermassive Black Hole-Muse

Push It - Salt-n-Pepa

Music on the ride home

flipping channels with the remote (lol x-mas gift, a car stereo with a remote control), trying to hear something good. this wasn't it but the lyrics caught my attention. "you, me and a dog named Boo", ok can we say old school. hippie stuff. lol

Not Yet

Well its not a full moon yet, but there is a nice look to it tonight. There are lots of low level thin clouds moving slowly, so when 1 covers the moon it has an scary movie look to it. As I said the crazies will start coming out. On my way home this night, on a 4 mile stretch of I65 southbound at around 10pm there were 5 state troopers each with someone pulled over and a 6th under the I265 overpass with all the lights off but he was using his radar gun. Guess folks starting the holiday weekend early are getting busted.

Well, off to attempt to sleep. Ibuprofen, even the 600 milligram stuff doesn't help any to take away the pain of my root canal. So slept a whopping 2 hrs before the pain woke me up.

Sleep well world, I know I'll be adding a vicodin to my sleep regimen tonight. ^.^

Pain gone but its 1:40 am here and still wide f'ing awake. grrr!

Almost time

Well, its almost time. Time for a new moon and all the crazies that still get swayed by the power of the moon. Figure it will be Tuesday night, hoping it will be a big low lying moon. A great photo op moon.~.^

Damn! Its 3:52 and I'm awake. Sigh!

WooHoo!

Ok, I slept 7 straight hours last night, damn that was nice!
Just finished 48oz of Italian Roast bold coffee from Starbucks, YUM!

Ok I slept well, drank lots of damn good coffee.
Hopefully thats enough to see me through my niece's sweet 16 b-day party this evening.
27 screaming teenage girls under 1 roof with lots of caffiene and sugar being served.
Good thing I don't feel as old as I should. ^.^

May you all have a great weekend, the sun is shining here after the mondo storms that ravaged through here last night and its warm out. Hope its warm and sunny for you as weel.

HAHA! Rat Bastard team leader!

Ok walk into work, 5 minutes early, woohoo! Pfft!
Start my day 8 racks in the hole, fucking assholes!
Crank out 240 jobs in 7 hours. woohoo!
Fuck I'm tired!

Mmmmm! That 23oz beer at Beef O'Bradeys went down smooth.
Ohhh! My cell phone is vibrating.
A # I don't know, hmm, who could this?
" Its 2 and you are gone? You are now .3 awol!!!"
Guess it was my anal super's # and my cock sucking team leader ratted me out and gave her my cell #.

Mmmmm! This second 23oz beer sure tastes good!!!
Its Friday, so fuckem!!!!

Enjoy the weekend folks, I know I will.
Ordering huckleberries from the Pacific Northwest, so that I can put a better presentation on my cheesecakes.

Again, "Thank you so very much for finding that information for me!!!"
^.^

Success????

Well, I've made many new creations, many new flavor combinations as well.
Found out from my neighbor that Purdue University runs a sorta community center near by.
They actually will assist in righting up a mission statement for my business, hell they'll even get traffic reports on the area I want to open shop at. As it was explained to me, they will guide me all the way til I sign the loan papers. Was told the bank would frown if I didn't sign the papers myself, lol.

Now there is a large section of land that was supposed to be developed a few years back, but funds fell threw. Its right off the interstate on my way home, I actually pass it because its off my exit. Turns out, the city I live in is tired of seeing it empty, so are giving grants to businesses willing to build there. Essentially they will pay the building costs. Wow! If I get this started, it means I'd get to open a truly new shop. Head is spinning at the possibilities.

Yet all this great news is not making me happy atm. Sore from all the cookie dough I had to make. Hot in the kitchen and freezing my ass off in the rest of the house, ac cranked trying to keep me from burning up. I guess if things keep going in their current direction I will have gained success from my endevor. But what does it matter being successful if you have no one to share it with? Yup, my house is quite save for the oven timer going off. Oh and the occasional meow from my cats cause I closed them up in their room.

Wish me luck

Ok taking the full day to bake. Wishe me luck that everything turns out goodenough for folks to want to send me feedback.

Also,I wish you all a great, safe and happy day! ^.^

Sleep!?!

Sleep wtf is it? Is it just a 5 letter word? Does it have meaning?

Is it a location? I always hear people talk about "going" to sleep, or they "went" to sleep as if though its this great place to visit. If its a destination, can I mapquest it? Will my Garmon show me the way?

Is it an action, something you do? "What did you do last night, umm, I went to sleep." Ok so laying down,(its how most sleep) closing one's eyes and doing nothing is an action?

For the gamers out there; is it a mitigation tank? Because it eludes me. It evades every attempt I make to capture it. I throw ambien at it but somehow it just dodges that and walks away as if I'd thrown a tic-tac at it.

Yes! This post makes very little sense, but when sleep is the 1 thing I need most atm, and I just can't seem to get any. Any ideas from the masses?

When It $ounds to Good to be True!

HAHA! As the old saying goes, "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!"
Well my old friend that had her own cheesecake shop in a small Kentucky town about 65 miles away, the one that was eager to get into a partnership with me, haha. Turns out she no longer has her shop, went belly up 3 years ago. Found out from a co-worker that lives down the street from where her shop used to be. =(

Gave her a call as soon as I got home, she didn't have much to say. I wasn't "pissed" hell I figure her knowledge of the business side along with the her ability to bake a mean cheesecake would have teamed well with my goals. But she just hung up on me after I asked her about her shop.

Back to the cutting board with other ideas I guess.

Business Adventure

Well, I started baking again yesterday. Made six 12" cookies, three half-sheet cake size cookies and a bowl cookie. Hoping to get pics setup later today. My artistic niece that is studying graphic design is going to set up my main page/ banner, and her webdesigning boyfriend has already started on a web page for me.

Now I just need some honest feedback, so I know what I need to do differantly if anything. If anyone here would be interested in being a taster for me please by all means contact me, I'm trying my best to get as varied a base study on tasters. This way I can better set up the cookies, flavors and such.

Hoping this pans out for me, already have a possible partner that already runs a bakery about 65 miles away. She figures it will help get her into the southern Indiana market as well. =)

We will see.

To All the Moms

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL! MAY YOUR DAY BE WARM AND FULL OF GOOD CHEER!!!


*GREAT BIG HUGS!!!*

YAWN!

MMM, 9 hrs of uninterupted sleep, can't remember the last time I slept so long during the middle of the week.

Feels nice. =)

A funny read.

Well, I went to the dr's office today to see about my not sleeping. He said basically its acute insomnia, not much he can do for me except offer up advise and sleep aides. As he put it, there isn't much he can do. I'll just need to put up with it for a few days or a couple of weeks. =P

But the funny read, was a 2 page leaflet he gave me explaining my condition.
"Use your bed for 1 of 2 things only! Either sleep on it or have sex on, do not eat, read, or watch tv on your bed." Very strict rules there, but I don't have a chair in my bedroom so I do watch tv on it, and on occasion I have been known to fix breakfast in bed.

Well, I thought it was sorta funny, especially hearing from the new female dr.

I know what I need. ~.^

Ok, its 3 hours till my alarm sounds and I'm still awake. =( I think I need a nice long massage to help me relax and zonk out. Hell it couldn't hurt, took 2 tylenol pm, my headaches gone. =P But here I am wide awake with my shoulders, back and neck all stiff.


Maybe I'll check Craig's List for one that will come to my house and bring thier own table. Lol, wouldn't that be nice.

Ok off to at least lay down.

What a Day!

Well it all started when I woke up at 1am Monday morning. Then I couldn't fall asleep even though I laid down at 7:30 pm trying to make up for the lost sleep from the weekend. But sadly I didn't pass out till 4:40 this morning, my alarm to get up goes off at 5am.

Made it to work on time, no accidents of any kind. Whew!!!

Ok headed out to get breakfast and I realized I wasn't the only body with messed up patterns. I look up at the lovely sunny day to see not the sun, but the moon. It was in the northwest direction but plain to see, a 1/2 moon. Luckily I was able to straighten my self out a bit.

I've been spoiled as of late with some yummy,potent Starbucks coffee. (was a Christmas gift ^.^ ) So I went to a local corner mart that sells "Motorcity Tornado", its so dark you can't see through it and almost as thick as syrup. ZING!!! Wide awake now, ready to face my work with my eyes wide open.

Day is done, long hot shower time. =)

Arrrrrgh!

Ok here I only got 10hrs of sleep this weekend, and I woke up 25 hrs ago. Nearly 4 hrs before my alarm goes off. Worked eight hours, had little sleep, theoretically I should be comatose. Instead here I sit two hours and twenty minutes from my alarm going off and wide fucking awake! =(

Hiked Friday, cleaned house Saturday and did laundry Sunday. I should be sound asleep! Guess I'll be calling my doc up for sleep aides. =(

Its going to be a long ass day today at work!

Horay for Hillbilly Holidays!

Well, the perks to working in a state that gives days off for a horse race, woohoo! It was a beautiful day to go get lost in nature. As it turns out my date from the past weekend found herself with an extra day off too, so date #2 would be a hike. =)

I took us out for breakfast at waffle house, lots of carbs for a long hike, or so I hoped. Went to Versailles State park, some nice scenic trails there. Started out nice, lots of color in the flowers, weather was warm with a cool breeze so the bugs were not an issue. The trail I picked we have to cross a creek 3 times before it starts going up.

Sadly though on the trek up we hit a snag. I spotted a snake on the trail and she freaked! I easily removed, without hurting, the snake using a downed limb. But unfortunately instead of enjoying nature and the company, I had to keep my eyes open for anymore snakes that may be on our new trail. "No way am I going back the way we just came! There might be a hibernaculum where saw that snake!" I do enjoy the company of an educated woman, it allows for more substantial conversation but in this case...... LOL!

Of course, it was the first true warm day we've had in the area, the rest start out cold then get warm. Friday was just a perfect day for hiking. But with the warmth we got to see more snakes, lol, she was very happy to cut our hike short, luckily I've hiked here enough to know the short cuts.

Posting a pic or 2, to my friends the rest will be posted on FB. Enjoy!
