Yep it's time to make ice cream again, and to start out the year I made butterscotch and cinnamon :)
1/4 the amount of sugar that is in store bought and 1/2 the calories :D
But 100% Yummy!
As the days end I find myself exhaused from the efforts. Too much sun rots the brain.
Yes, that sounds like an excellent excuse.
Meh, 4:30am will come too quickly.
It is interesting because like Heidi, I have known those that I have felt the same as she does with the three in her church.
I was actually at lunch with one that is like that, when something hit me.
Like a whisper, a gentle prod if you would. They are still learning too. And sometimes the arrogence is nothing more than defense to keep them on the correct path. Sometimes it is easier to be closed because then you can feel safe.
We simply just do not know enough to judge. And while they annoy me with their lack of tact and idiocy, I can't seem to shake it that is not always for me to teach. They will learn or not, but unless it is time, they will remain the same.
Something I have been pondering, is perhaps this is what was ment in the Bible about the road to Heaven being narrow. If you aren't open and aren't looking you will miss it. You will miss the way in the narrow, harsh judgemental views that you hold.
And while I am far from having been at church in a decade, I do know that the more I love, accept and am willing to face my mistakes~ the more I "get" the message. For so long it was just words that I feared, instead of words I embraced and lived by.
Congrats to RedQueen~
She's now all legal and stuff! Now I just have to do the same! LOL ;)
From Daire's journal:
"Bullshit i head you say..."

Yes there is a good reason to share this.
If for no other reason than a smile makes a person more than they would at first appear. ;)
Mom called me :) ♥
Seems she was visiting my brother. Send him some positive thoughts, he's had 2 friends commit suicide this year, and he's taking it far worse than he lets on.
Really makes you appriciate your time here, and the good friends that help support you regardless of what is said.
Life is too short, I have not forgotten nor will I.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, as without your strength, we as daughters would be so much less.
So today stared with going out on the water, which had so much fog that all I could do was follow the shore and keep the boat that was with me safe.
Talk about a strain on the eyes.
Run home prepare corperate package for local group. Print off as many brochures as I can, and then do 3 loads of laundry on my way to the office.
See clients, and then we were sponsoring a "Pamper Mom" with the local radio station. That was unique. There are obviously things going on that we do not know about, as for the radio folk, they did not do much with the women winners. Actually I ended up spending a bit of time talking to them and showing them what I do. This was good, but over all I had the impression that they did not want to be there with the contest winners.
Too bad really, these women were very enthusiastic and seemed to have lots of energy.
From there, I stayed and helped set up for the Open House we have today. After the open house, I have the Famer's Market... and then...
Then finally, it will be the weekend for me :)
About 7 hours and counting down!
So I am now offically coaching for the local university here :)
I am starting to work with the national team AND
We have a local radio station doing a Mom's day special using our clinic this Friday afternoon, an auction Friday night, Open House on Saturday, Farmer's Market on Saturday and whew...
Am I the only one exhaused from all that?
I am also in negotiations with a local company that is going to take over the candle part of my business, and help me expand to larger markets without my putting cash I don't have up front. While letting me use all the market research I've done over the past 5 years. Basically I'll teach them how, and then I can focus on creating more and when we expand I will formulate and go from there.
Things are definately going well. I am now officially in all areas doing better than I was in Seattle.
EXCEPT... Mess control AKA~ organization.
Seems like when it rains it pours. Bare with me, I'm going full tilt boogie and I even have more pots for the fire. I may have to take a day or so soon, so that I can regroup, reorganize and BREATH.
Whew. :) So if it takes me a while- I'm spinning in all truth. So much is going on, and well I need a clone.
It is NOT good when your computer sounds like it has ball berings in it. Hmph.
