Finally......the weekend!

Or, so you would think..... Weekends are supposed to bring sleeping in, walks in the park, breakfast out, afternoon naps, and the random farmer's market or new restaurant adventure. However, however, those seemingly "normal" weekend rituals are all but forgotten in our fog of delirium.....and somehow....(How, in the world, did we arrive at this oh-my-goodness-I-can't-believe-I-want-to-do-this place?)....replaced by 4:00 am wake-up alarms, piping white chocolate mousse into tart shells (A tremendous feat at 4:15 am, just in case anyone was wondering, or cared.), not tripping over each other in our attempt to move pastries and their carrying vessels out the double doors to the car (At which point we realized my trunk was too small.....lol....(no one has ever told me that before...lol.), moving all to Kindra's car, trekking downtown and filling display cases, wandering home in a sleep-deprived stupor....and crashing....only to wake up a couple hours later to get all things ready for tomorrow..... Oh, and just so all concerned know.....this is a tremendous step-up from a couple days ago. Efficiencies have been made, as Kenny so eloquently detailed yesterday....and we're hopeful the coming days will bring more.

OK....so....definitely rambling here.....I better move my (little) trunk....and get to the grocery store for some missing ingredients before I become one with the kitchen. Kindra is taking today off.....(in order to push impending insanity out another couple of days) and so I will get to enjoy a full day of cooking.....as she and Kenny have been enjoying while I blissfully (gag) work my day job and sit in class.

All's well....we're doing great.....still breathing.....no complaints.....just a new "norm" emerging from the wreckage (at least it feels like it) that was this past week. Maybe its me who feels like the wreck....? Well, anywho....off like a herd of turtles......

If anyone is reading this get your behind down to Bikini Coffee and buy some pastries...oh, and coffee. Move!

Out!
