busy week…

since friday evening, it has been a complete blur. i have been working close to non-stop friday, saturday, and parts of sunday. monday crept up with more issues and i didn’t leave the office until around 8:30PM. yesterday was another long day, but not as bad and i think the brunt of it has finally died down and we are officially out of panic mode.

it’s a good thing, too, because getting out of panic mode timed pretty perfectly with the launch of our project.

somewhere in all of the business, i was able to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. 4 dozen cookies were made and i brought them into the office yesterday. all but 4 were left when i came into the office today. crazy, huh? i didn’t even get to eat that many, so i think that another batch will have to be made soon.

i’ve been battling with making cookies for the last 4 weeks or so. i would take the butter out of the fridge and intend to make it, but by the time the butter has had time to get soft, i was too tired to make the cookies. finally, i made them, but when i took them into the office, they all disappeared very quickly. 4 dozen!

looks like i will have to make more cookies!

the doorbell problem

our doorbell is located upstairs. it is not very loud. this becomes quite the problem when we have people or we are cooking in the kitchen downstairs and people ring the doorbell. we just don’t hear it.

on numerous occasions people have rung the doorbell and there is no repsonse from us. today, i am happy to report that that problem is no longer plaguing this household. i got a door chime extender. all it really is is a sound-activated remote control which then activates a separate doorbell. so far it has worked great in my testing, but so far no one has rung our doorbell since i installed it…
