Wacky day. Overwhelming but good. A big thank you to Oh Joy!, one of my favorite blogs, for the mention today (2 press mentions in one day, wheeee!). Our shop is empty now (and someone just bought the remaining 5 marshmallows). Trying to get to sleep “early” tonight because tomorrow is going to be packing madness deep into the night for all of today’s orders shipping out on Friday (Red Hook post office, not so great. Clinton Hill is next), but of course I am here, watching Top Chef. I am estimating that I will have to individually wrap over 150 brownies in one sitting and I am convinced that I will get arthritis from this.

In the middle of all this biz madness are the girls. They are keeping each other company and I am grateful for that. There’s lots of laughter and giggles and shrieks and chases and while it’s all very cute, the apartment feels like a zoo, not to mention the clutter that just doesn’t seem to go away. Although we haven’t thought seriously about getting our own kitchen/work space yet, it would be worth it just to get our house back. At any given time there are cookies everywhere in large containers which prompts Claudine to walk around like a zombie repeating “cookieee? cookieee? cookieee?” with her little pointer finger extended.

It appears that we might have a viable business on our hands, so I think I will stop my daily Craigslist search for a job for Mark. At least for now.
