We're Pampered, Not Perfect": Learn from my Embarassing Mistake!

It is really good. My host last night made it (I gave her the recipe at one of my shows last year). She and I finished it up after the guests left...Mmmmmmm!

OK, must not hijack....

I forgot the Trifle Bowl tonight. Had the base, but the bowl was still at home. A lot of good that does. D'oh.

While driving to my show Thursday evening I realized that I forgot my Seasons Best which of course has my recepie for the Aloha Pizza in it. I called my DH and asked him the measurements, the oven temp and time. Then made a quick stop at the store to pick up some of the ingredients because I still had some left over from when I made it at home. So I start the demo get to the point where I'm supposed to put the pizza dough in the bar pan and realize that I don't have the Pizza dough!!! One of the guests went to the store and bought the last 2 pgs of dough!!!! I was sooooo forgetful that night... oh well the show is over $200 with only 4 orders, and one booking. I'll be closing it on Sunday.

35? I got a few years on you!!! you're only 35, huh?? just a pup! actually, 35 is about when my brain started "Failing me" too. But, could be because:
I sub at the schools in town, Girl scout leader, and cookies just about killed me this year, do all paperwork for dh's business, dd is in steel drum band, was in show choir and volleyball( that's done for now...YAY), girl scouts, babysits, and I'm the one that runs her everywhere, PLUS I'm doing my PC. (yep, I think that qualifies as a busy brain). whew...no wonder I'm so tired all the time! (oh yeah, cook, clean, laundry, take care of dog, etc...) jut like everyone else...whew! sorry for the rant folks!

I've got a few years on Tammi's 35, too. But, I think I'm gonna call "busy brain." I'm working a temp job 32 hours a week. I have a small publication design business/ministry. I don't usually do a lot of work with it, but I'm currently helping someone write a book about his cancer experience. I'm a wife. I'm a mother, but my baby boy just moved to Texas for school. Most of my mothering is done through care packages right now. I teach the 3-K class at our church. Top that all off with the fact that my business is really starting to take flight, and I claim "busy brain" as a legitimate ecuse.Thanks! I feel much better.

I had a show during my first few months at which the host wanted the Double Chocolate Swirl Bread. It showed off the Mini Loaf Pan, which was brand new. I got to her house, and realized that I forgot the pan at home. It was one of my few shows that was within 30 minutes of my house, so I called to see if DH could bring it to me. No luck. Good thing I had another stone with me. So we made a giant swirl bread "donut" on the Large Round Stone.When I forget products, I offer them to attendees (not outside orders) at 10% off "I'm a scatterbrain" sale.
