WOW..BUSY!!

Wow..it has been over a week since my last post and that is only because this past week has been busy for me!

The beginning of last week had me cleaning my apartment in anticipation of the arrival of my mother visting me for 4 days and had me preparing for a big weekend of catering!

So, lets just catch up really quick, my mom visited Utah for the first time and she enjoyed her short visit here. She thinks it too quiet here but loves it.

Our catering went well. It was kinda hectic trying to shop, prep, cook and execute 3 parties in one day for over 900 people to feed. However we pulled it off, being that at each party almost half their guests never showed up.....lots and lots and lots of food left!! Kinda stinks, because we shopped and if only I could have an hour glass to see the future and see how many people will show up at each catering job, then we could keep more profit from the food cost!!!!! Oh well...

So I am trying to catch up on lots of things to do this week. My apartment manager duties have kind of fallen to the wayside too lately, but yesterday, as tired as I was, I was able to do a few duties and I feel bad I am in the process of evicting one tenant who has is a month and half late on her rent...so this morning I had to fax the paperwork over to the owners lawyer to begin the process.....that's the part I don't like about this job ...evicting, but hey if I owned the building I'd want my money too, so I totally understand!

Ok...so gots cleaning to do, laundry to do, emails to respond too, phone messages to return, organizing to do and get ready to do a large catering luncheon this Friday in Provo for 530 guests and then again on Saturday for 200 guests......but as busy as it will be...I can't complain..there is definately nothing better than owning your business!!!!

I'll be back to posting normal again...hope all is going good on your end!!!
