Gimme some sunshine.......PLEASE!

I never really knew how weather can effect a person until recently. The past 2 months have been brutal in OH. It has been cold with lots of snow and freezing rain and very little sunshine. I have always loved winter but I am so ready for spring. This is the first time in my life that I have honestly longed to live in a warmer place. My hubby keeps telling me that the weather has not been so bad and I keep saying, where have you been living over the past month or so????

The last 2 months have been really depressing. Perhaps it's b/c I have deferred my dream and decided to go back to corporate America. Don't get me wrong, I love developing new products, working with customers and working with food. I just don't play the political game well. I believe in being ethical and rewarding hard workers who play fairly. We all know that corporate does not work this way. So why am I going to go back you ask?? It is a necessary evil. Could we make it on Chaka's salary alone, ummm, probably. But we would not be able to continue to get ahead and save for Harmony. So, in order to achieve my dream, I have to take this path get to Harmony. I also believe that the kids need to be a bit older before I start this business so they don't suffer as much.

So what is up for today. Cleaning and laundry. I have been a bit of a bum when it comes to house work this week. I have had too many other things to do.
Well, I am going to sign off......

Silence is Golden

Well, Fans of Harmony, I have been a little silent for the last few days. I have been swamped with LIFE stuff. From interviewing and baking, to preparing for my big event next weekend, I have not had ANY computer time. Each week is becoming more an more packed. Z-man is also VERY mobile so I can not sit at the computer while he plays with his toys any more. We gates off the family room. At first he was so excited to be inside his own space but now he has figured out that we have pretty much caged him in the family room. As soon as I open the door to the gate he speed crawls to make a quick escape. If he makes it out he is elated but when I close the gate before he makes it out, he begins banging and shaking the gate while babbling at me. He is very persistent........



Here is a little Harmony news:

I ordered the cutest chocolate fans to top my chocolate cupcakes for the big event that I am doing. They are very nice. You can find them at http://www.pastrychef.com/ under ingredients. They are a little pricey put my client insisted that we use them. Hey, if they are will to pay then I will do as they say. I have also not been able to find medium blue foil cupcake wrapper in the US. I found a supplier in Australia but the liners would not make it here in time for next Saturday. I did find some really nice navy and white cupcake liners that will go great with the sliver liners that I have to use.



My 2 interviews are done and over with. I guess you can say that I am one of those people that loves to interview. I don't get nervous, I just have a good time. I know it is a bit odd but where else is it ok to talk about yourself for hours. We will see what happens. I will know something by early next week on both.

Well, I better get to getting.
