Challenges

Sometimes challenges aren't bad
Challenges are meant to make you stronger

This is a story about a good challenge

We got a BIG catering order for Thursday.
Normally these are no big deal because we just have to make lots of pizzas
This one, however, is different and we've never had this challenge before.

They want this:


and this:


and this:


and even this:


and then Paul even went and offered this:


and they want it all for this:


Wow, this job will take some timing, planning, and teamwork -- but I think we're gonna pull it off.

Who know what this might be the start of?

Random thoughts

Yesterday was a wasted day
Never made it out of bed -- didn't feel well
Laid there thinking about all the things not getting done
Watched some great old black and white movies



I guess sometimes you need to stop

Today I woke up to a million things to do

Why does the house still look the same as it did when I went to bed Friday night?

How are we ever going to make Lasagna and Fettuccine for 50 people on Thursday?



Why did we just spend money to get our oven fixed only to have someone break it again last night because of carelessness?



Why do people feel the need to call you and not be adult enough to tell you the truth?
Should you call them on their untrue statements or do you just go along and pretend that you believe them?

Why am I just rambling on? I feel great today and I have lots to do. Maybe I shouldn't spend time trying to figure out all this stuff and just get busy.....or should I?

Wow.....I sure do feel better now!

Stay away........



it's one of those days I woke up grumpy
one of those days that if someone says "good morning" to you -- you feel like biting their head off
Can't think of any reason why I'm like this
but it's going to be one of those days that you need to stay away from me

Maybe it's hormonal
Maybe it's stress
Maybe it's because I'm so tired of working 24/7
Maybe it's because there's so much stuff to do today (and everyday)

I don't know the real reason behind it
Maybe it's just one of those days
anyways....is it written somewhere that you have to be in a good mood all the time?

Words of Wisdom

Every day offers a variety of encounters and experiences

If I begin with fear or dread, I often have an unpleasant experience

If I am looking forward to what's next, I often have a rewarding experience

Since I get to choose my OWN thoughts, I choose to expect good

Thank you Daily Word -- this is just the message I needed today.



I choose HALF FULL -- what's your choice?

How time flies

Isn't it funny how you wake up in the morning with the best of intentions?

And then the day just gets away from you.

You've been busy all day and doing all kinds of things



But at the end of the night -- there isn't much to show for it

That's my day today. I haven't stopped all day and yet I haven't touched one single thing that HAS to get done today

Will the sky fall down if I don't get these things done?

It certainly could -- and yet I am still wasting time.

Okay.....time to focus and get cracking on the first of the month stuff that absolutely, postively has to get done today!

Brimming with pride

It always makes you feel good to hear that you're doing something right.

Expecially when you work so hard at it

And it consumes your life

And you're sharing the dream that your husband has always wanted

It's nice to see our customers rally together and take the time to vote us #1 in Houston

It's nice to read the wonderful things that they are posting about our business for everyone to see

We work hard and we really care about our business

We are proud of the job that we are doing

Because isn't that what we all really want -- to feel proud of our achievements?

I am unlimited

It's fun to think "If I had all the money in the world, where would I go and what would I do?" But money does not define my prosperity. My wealth is not limited to the dollars that I have in the bank.

I give thanks for the unlimited good that surrounds me. And I am happy now.
