But you got babbits and squirls.
Now that is enough to make anyone happy ![]() Okay, steak and a blowjob might help, but sometimes you have to enjoy what you get. For me, it was a very simple pleasure this morning. I had my morning bottle of sippy-drink (Fresubin - prescribed to help my recovery, not doing anything for my waistline though!) and I thought it was lemon. The lemon one is yucky, but they gave me a lot of them. Assorted flavours? Hardly. I think it was a deliberate slight because I specified No Banana Flavour. Anyway, sucked it up like the medicine it is, only to find when I stopped to draw breath that it was actually chocolate! Nom nom nom. Was not left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Via glatt's earlier Springsteen posting and lj's followup of the beer chugging moment and my posting the 91-year-old fan he danced with... this hits just keep on coming, another great Springsteen moment occurred last night,

Twist... Mr Jackson sues for possession of the note.
![]() Why in hell would a parent hang Xabi on their kid? I can see Xabi and Scott duking it out in the mud, the blood, and the beer.

To be fair, this same parent took him to a Springsteen concert.

Only out of guilt for saddling the kid with a name, nobody can pronounce or spell.
Or maybe couldn't get a sitter. Or trying to top the ex-wife. Or to help pick up chicks. Or some other evil intent. ![]()

Excellent 'Boy Named Sue' reference. Outstanding, really.

I've worked really hard over the last couple of months and it's starting to pay off. Most of my weeks I'm taking around $1000 worth of orders or more. My target is $1500 steady by the end of the year, so it looks like it should be achievable. This is because I am asking a bit more for most of my cakes, and also because I'm producing more intricate styles which allow me to ask a premium price. Ideally, I'd like to get to a stage where I only have 3 or 4 orders each week, but they're all worth about $500. At the moment, I do probably 7 or 8 orders per week with only one being in the price range I'm targeting. This means a lot of remembering to order bits and pieces from my suppliers etc. Obviously with only 3 or 4 designs to think about, there's a lot less running around, which leads to more profit. It's been a good first quarter though, and my business account is starting to look good. I'm hopeful it will be good enough to allow me to buy a new (second hand) car for work before long.
I'm mostly happy that I don't have any orders this week, so I get to have a breather over the easter break. ![]()

Not exactly rolling in it, but if I can get up to $1500 turn over per week, that will pay me a living wage over here. I appreciate the humour though. I wish I could cook up those kinds of jokes. They always seem to fall flat though.

Bruce Springsteen Cancels North Carolina Show Over Anti-LGBTQ Law "Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry—which is happening as I write—is one of them." Pretty amazing that he cancelled two days out. |
