- Gee, where should I begin? It has been super insanely crazy these last few weeks! Last weekend when I did the Bayport festival to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, I was tired and run down from all the work in my teaching career. I was so frustrated that it was beautiful outside and I was stuck doing another fair that first appeared to be slow & boring! However, I was the only vendo...r who seemed to be making a killing! After 2 hrs or so, I was bored so I asked the organizer of the show if she knew any motivated, smart, young sales people who may want to earn some fast cash for selling the delights...so I could sneak around the corner to watch Thomas baseball game. We'll wouldn't you know it...the event planner brings me over a 16 year old beautiful smart strawberry blond teenager with a million dollar smile & the gift of gab! Mollie was her name and she lives in Locust Vallyey. She was in Bayport at her cousins house and just hanging around the fair w/ family. After she watched me for a half hour, she seemed to have the mission, one liners, and the money thing all down pat! So, I left for the ball game. Two hrs later this beautiful smart young girl basically sold out of all the breads! That's it...your hired I inform her! She is thrilled at the idea of doing demos in Nassau county as well as being my assistant for the Oyster Bay event in October! Incredible that I found a mini me with energy, drive, passion, and the gift to sell like crazy! So happy to have Mollie aboard! Hats off to my new fair assistant! Love it!!!
- This week was an amazing week in sales! Inter county bakers ordered 27 cases of pumpkin & zucchini! Monday I sold 30 cases out to my distributors and continued to do 7 to 10 cases every day after Monday! Then the icing was slapped right on the cake when I got the paperwork on that big huge amazing account that I worked on all summer! And to boot, my interview with Best Yet was a home run!!! Produc...tion will start this week for Best Yet Markets! The other big, huge amazing account I have been referring to all these months is supposed to go to the shelf as early as next Friday! Once, I can buy the double pak of pumpkin cakes at this awesome store; I will finally announce the account of a lifetime! Oh yeah baby, u rock baby! This was my mom's favorite place to spend money! Mom, I can't wait to post this baby! Love u and miss u to pieces! Thanks for always watching over me, b/c these past two weeks were filed with major sleep deprivation! Tomorrow, I will sleep the day away! BTW, did I neglect to mention that I did fabulous sales today at the IGHL (Independent Group Home Living) benefit! I even lowered the price one dollar on the cakes due to the nature of the fund raiser! The staff at IGHL were the most amazing group of people!!! I got there a few hrs late due to my sleep deprivation this week and my very bad car accident that I had last week on the LIE. Anyway, the IGHL staff help me unload my entire van and then they set me up! I gave each young man that helped me a cake of their choice. I also gave the woman running the event 2 cakes for her family at home and a few more for all the volunteers! Like I said what an amazing job these people do for the handicapped adults that they service! Time to sleep now! Night night!
