Random Thoughts

I’ve really neglected my blog, but today I feel like I have so many ideas running through my head…

1.  Months ago, I ordered my free Senseo coffee maker thanks to a post by The Mama.  I went several months without even taking it out of the box, but now with my new job and crazy second and third shift hours, I hate to admit just how much it has been used!  It is actually set up conveniently on the corner of my desk, and I just hit the button when I feel like I can’t keep my eyes open another second!  It makes great coffee and some of the flavored pods are excellent!

2.  Last Sunday, we made the decision to join Brickcity Community Church!  That is a huge decision for us.  Both of us were very involved in our churches in our “past lives” before we met.  I especially had a very hard time leaving my church (where I had been the music director for two years) during my divorce.  Since then, we have searched and searched and just hadn’t found the right fit, but now we have.  I didn’t get to go to church yesterday, because I was sick and Jonathan went to homecoming at his parents’ church, so it was the first Sunday we’ve missed since we been attending BCC, and we were both so sad!

3.  My top secret project (TSP) is still in the works.  I hope to be able to announce it to the world in the next week or two!

4.  The 2nd Century Project is being unveiled this Thursday at Depot Park.  I had already signed up for a business seminar, so I will not be able to attend, but I am so excited to see what they have planned for Sanford/Lee County.  I think this is definitely a step in the right direction for our town!

5.  The guitar…a few months ago, Phillip started learning to play the guitar.  He has actually gotten really, really good at it and is progressing every day.  Luckily, his taste in music is pretty much in line with Jonathan and myself, so we enjoy what he is playing.  We have also discovered what a great voice he has.  I need a tamborine :)

6.  The only upcoming show I have for the confection company this month is ARToberfest in Downtown Sanford on October 18.  I think it will be a great show with lots of great artists and crafters.  Booths are still available.

7.  For the past 2 years, a highlight of fall has been the Communities in Schools Gala.  This will be the 3rd Annual Gala for the Children featuring a Taste of Lee County.  I offer a variety of desserts at the event and enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with a lot of my customers and some of Sanford’s nicest residents!  Visit Kim Pritt’s blog for more information.  If you only attend one social event this season, this is the one!!

8.  October is quickly approaching.  Remember that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Beginning later this week, I will offer a line of “Pink Ribbon” chocolates at Amy’s Confection Company in Shops of Steele Street.

9.  I’m also working on a new website for the Confection Company using a WordPress base, and it is driving me nuts!!

I think that’s everything for now!!!
