Breakfast this morning: Just a cup of coffee with suisse mocha creamer. Lunch will be in about an hour.
The weather outside today: It's currently 84* with a heat index of 90*. Today's high is to be 100* (with probably at least a 15* heat index), and a low of 75*. The rest of the week looks about the same with a chance of rain Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Looking outside right now: The sun is shining and it's going to be another HOT day!
So far today I have: Gotten up, come to the shop with hubby, made coffee, assisted a customer, paid bills, ordered ice cream, finished scanning the MTG cards for hubby that I started Saturday, posted to the business pages on Facebook, and now I'm writing this post.
Looking around the house: It's not bad. The floors need vacuumed and there are the dirty dishes in the sink from the pasta I made last night,
On this week's To DO list: Tonight I need to take the vacuum home from the castle. The bagless I have at home....I hate it and always have. It was MIL's and I didn't like it when I cleaned for her. Anyway I need to vacuum, spray the floors for fleas. They are really bad this year! Remake the menu for Cosmic Castle, taking some things off and adding a few others. And I'm sure there is tons more that will need to be done that I haven't even thought about yet.
I'm thankful for: Lots of things! First I am thankful for the business we had last week. I'm thankful that one of our church members, who is also a teacher at the high school, has made arrangements for the school security officers (basically policemen) to patrol the Castle Friday night for the moonlight madness (more on that under Thinking and pondering). AND I just got a text from my sister that she will be able to come help in our back game room, keeping things under control on Friday night.
Praying for:
- my niece
- the individual with the building we would like to have to reconsider our offer
- maybe a different location all together that would work for us.
- Friday night to NOT be a disaster or stressful!
Thinking and pondering: The 'Moonlight Madness" event our town has every year. After the soap scrimmage they encourage the kids and parents, but it's mostly the kids, to come downtown for huge sales in participating businesses. One of the banks provides Free hot dogs and sodas for the kids and parents. There is NOTHING for the kids to do, no organized events or programs, so they cause trouble! I guess they assume WE are their entertainment, being an arcade, but 99% of the kids HAVE NO MONEY and just come in and cause trouble. WHY don't they have something organized for the kids if they are bringing them downtown? The kids could care less about the sales in the stores. This is the 4th year they have done it, and the 2nd year for us to be open at the castle. The first year we were open at the shop, the 2nd year we were working on the castle and it wasn't open yet, we were open last year, and are planning to be open this year as well.
From the camera: I didn't get around to taking pictures this week.
this past week. Both books were excellent!Watched on the computer this past week:
In my spare time I've been watching Restaurant Impossible online and writing down little bits of good information from Chef Robert. Used to watch this all the time when we had cable. Glad I found this web page so I can watch and learn.
I highly recommend AdBlock via Chrome Extension if you are going to watch online episodes. AdBlock seems to do the trick and prevents most if not all pop-ups. You can enable it and disable it as needed.If I have a few minutes to myself this week I will:
Watch more of the Restaurant Impossible episodes
Visiting with friends: Not much extra visiting this week, just the regulars on my list on the right sidebar.
