So I’ve been busy…like insane don’t know my head from my……
First of all, I’m trying to keep up but have recently had to start telling people I can’t bake for them. Do you know how that makes me feel?
IT MAKES ME FEEL STUPID.
I feel stupid because I am just thrilled people even call me and ask me to do things for them. It makes me feel reassured that I am not wasting my time! So thank you, peeps- hopefully soon I will have a beautiful and shiny commercial kitchen where I can bake more than 12 cupcakes at a time! That said, onto business….
I had my meeting with the ‘hood President this week and it’s still a no go for beer/wine from the get go, but realistically this all comes down to a choice that a board is making. The reason? I have no freaking clue, especially now that I know that there are a few businesses like Grapevine that have publicly said it’s a good thing! It just doesn’t make sense to me that my drink list could make or break a deal. It’s just cake and a drink menu.
I’ve started looking at other Fort Mill locations, but let me tell you something that might shock you…it’s impossible to get a call back! It boggles my mind that there are so many vacancies out there, and the landlords/owners don’t even bother to call back in a timely fashion. The shopping center in Tega Cay has had vacancies for YEARS! Hey there, space owner- CALL ME. I’ve gotten some calls from people in Rock Hill, but why is Fort Mill acting so slack? I want to open the business HERE in my town…I want to do this in my neighborhood! Am I asking too much? I certainly don’t think so.
What ends up happening when things don’t make sense, is that it causes a stir. Not like I’m a pot stirrer, I mean I am a little but I’m not a spiteful rag about it. So a friend of mine that happens to be a newscaster @kokomodianne for CN2 News in the Rock wanted to do a piece on it for work. She knew I had my meeting on Tuesday (as did everyone else in the CLT area Twitterverse), so it was either going to be a “yay, she’s opening!” or a “boo, she’s still rejected”. Here’s Dianne’s piece:
First, I was never meant to be on television and I’m totally okay with that.
Second, how adorable is the shirt I’m wearing? Because I had just received that from one of my BFF’s, Sharri, the day before! I wore it to my meeting because it was so stinking cute and sparkly…
Blech, it’s stressful and disappointing so enough about that and I will update as things come (or go).
On to my next drama…
Eddie Izzard the British Transvestite gave me MALWARE.
Yup. I was messing around the other night reading some funny cake quotes, and on one of the sites it had a link to Eddie’s CAKE OR DEATH, because anytime Eddie Izzard is on I have to watch. Like those movies you’ve seen 3 million times and no matter how much you’ve seen it, if you are flipping through the channels, and THAT movie is on, you get sucked into it and can’t leave the couch because you HAVE to watch it again and still laugh at all of the same parts like it’s the first time… Yeah, Eddie does that to me.
And then it happened…it was like I was Gollum and someone try to steal my Precious…MALWARE ATTACK! So now I have to get that POS fixed, and I curse myself for ignoring that stupid “expiration reminder”, but I also curse stupid Norton for making my reminder so annoying that I automatically clicked it OFF all day….
Here’s a SAFE youtube version of a piece of Eddie’s Cake or Death. (at the 5 min part the cake or death part I LOVE comes up!) Seriously, so funny!
Watch it, but there is SWEARING SO IF YOU ARE AT WORK- YOU ARE WARNED!!
CAKE OR DEATH, Eddie Izzard.
Anyway, now my laptop is covered in pornographic malware and my camera is full of cute things I will have to blog next week. So, there’s an update.
