busy busy
well, work life is busy and home life too. last weekend was real busy and i felt as if i struggled a bit to keep up. i’ve been wearing myself thin, working on a lot of projects. the drainage project is coming along with a few details left. plans are being made for the bocce ball court and some landscaping. we are going to make the lightnin’ salvage bathroom into a handicap accessible bathroom. there’s a few other projects on deck too but i’ll keep those a secret for now…
on the home front, we had a birthday party for our daughter yesterday. it was such a good time, with some great people over, but i’ve been wiped out all day just recovering from the event. i did manage to spread a whole load of GRU “mulch”, frame a new painting, and make dinner, but my eyes are tired for sure. i started reading the first harry potter book to my son, so maybe i can get a little caught up with the world soon.
we made some mistakes last weekend, but nothing too major. i forgot a couple slices that were supposed to go with pies, so the slices were 5 – 10 minutes late, which always bums me out, especially because i know to look for slices on the ticket, and i know exactly when to put them in so it all comes out together. it amazes me that i’ve done this so much and so long and i still mess up. i know that one day i’ll be practically mistake free. someone said their pie was burnt saturday night which i know couldn’t have been true because i cooked every pizza and didn’t burn any (except i did slightly overcook a large pepperonni but got no complaint about that one.) but the people who did complain supposedly ate the pizza so there was no evidence. they just chose to complain but when asked if they wanted another one they supposedly claimed, “i’m over it.” which i guess means they ate the thing even though it was terrible, and were over it and didn’t want anyone to bring it up anymore. i don’t know. the server was scared to talk to them again and i was way too busy cooking to leave my post and find out what was up. you know what they say… “you can please some of the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all of the time, you can even please all of the people some of the time…” but obviously we can’t please all the people all the time, and you know what? i’m okay with that. i mean, it’s not easy to be okay with that, but i realize that we just make too many pizzas for them all to be perfect and even when they are perfect, some people don’t appreciate perfection. there was a pizza last week that was on the money perfect but the couple said it was overcooked. we made it over again but the server said they didn’t seem happy about that one either…. anyway, we do our best. you must know that.
enough rambling, i’ve got to get the boy to bed…. let me just say this, i love the summmertime! most of all i love the sound of the cicadas and the long days….
