Scheduling, Baking, and Picture Taking!

Hey All,

I'm just wondering if I have to or should start every new entry with some sort of a greeting. What is your input?

I'm rather tired tonight. I tried to schedule myself down to the very hour, consisting of Sunday thru Wednesday staying up til 2 AM then sleeping in later so I could have some quiet time to myself (thus the late hours). And then Thursday thru Sat they would be exactly opposite due to Farmers' Market, starting this weekend. I should be going to bed fairly early and getting up around 5 AM.

So far it hasn't worked.

It's hopeless. The days I was "supposed" to sleep in, I naturally woke up between 6-7 AM. The evenings I was supposed to be up late doing reading and what not, I found myself fast asleep, fully dressed, lights still on, and books unread. OOPS!

How do I do that to myself?

Dad's full-time, reliable, funny, and extremely competent secretary has to go in for surgery sometime in the next month. I don't know all the details but it's looking like I will be #1 head secretary for a while. Meaning.... I have to spend WAY more time at the office learning all the extra stuff she does.  Including that phone.  (I love my cell, but I seriously have a phone phobia sometimes.) At least Dad's checks came in and I got paid today!!!!  (I have already spent it a million and one ways in my head. Oh dear!)

Today is/was bake day. I baked 12 (only twelve) loaves of my beautiful Honey Whole Wheat bread and still have to bake 6 dozen (at least) of my delicious, fluffy white, melt-in-your-mouth, eat-em-while-they're-warm, heavenly Cinnamon Rolls. (Can you tell I LOVE eating them? Yeah, the making and the baking isn't nearly as great as the EATING part of the job. Gotta taste your work before you sell it right? LOL)

A few fun facts: I have been baking bread and selling it as my own business now for 4 years this weekend! I sold 911 loaves between July '02 (when I started) and December '05. I will be doing a special promotion this Farmers' Market season, the 1,000th loaf buyer will receive a special prize. (I'd better come up with something good.)

Ok, enough rambling, I want to share a few fun pictures that I took this week.

Mmmmmm...... I can smell them now! (Ya gotta love a camera phone when your Canon ain't handy.)

Tell me that ain't cool..... I was snapping some of our water lilies (again) during a light sprinkle and I happened to catch this amazing droplet.

I could take pictures of these all day long. Our pond is sooo beautiful this year and every day these gorgeous lilies look more wonderful. Lovin' it! (Our water really isn't black. Honest.)

This little kitty wanted front and center, and that's what it got! I laugh every time I look at this one, reminds me of some hilarious key chain.

And as always, can't forget family. This is little Joe Bear. Otherwise known as Josiah (7). He and a few of the other younger siblings (and cousin Chase) helped Josh wash his '63 Chevy today, getting it ready for the "Back to the 50's" car show in Minnesota this weekend.

Perty ain't it? Cousin Chase is on the right, and sister Lissa (Elisabeth, 4) is on the far left. Josh is getting the spots they 'missed'.

Ok, that's all.

God Bless y'all!

I love your posts!! I always enjoy reading them through and I love your pictures too. Your posts are always sweet and cheery! That said, your cinnamon rolls are making my mouth water. I swear I can smell them through my computer vents! =) I don't know how you had the engery to make all that bread either. I'd be exhausted!!!!!!!!!!! And I understand your phone phobia! I've got one too! When I worked at the flower shop I had to answer the phone all the time. When I first started it was soooo hard! It would actually cause me to sweat! Answering the phone around the house is not a huge deal, but at work it's a bit different!
I hope you have a wonderful week!

Boy those cinnamon rolls make my mouth water everytime! Haha!
I wanted to thank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog! Oh, and I honestly don't know if homeschool blogger is set up for subcriptions. I know that there is much for me to learn yet though so maybe I just haven't figured that part out yet...
Anyway, have a wonderful day and a very Happy 4th of July! =)

Hello fellow secretary!

oh wait how should i title this?

I have a hard time too trying to find what to say at the front of my posts. I am going to have to make one up!
I understand about the whole scheduling thing. I am a very organized person and not having a schedule when there is something that we need to do is kinda frustrating!
I dont like making bread at all! I would rather do office work!
Come by the Planet soon.....I have changed a lot of stuff!
Take Care
