Who calls at 7 AM?

2007-07-11

My daughter for one and the bakery for another!  Of course, they both pick the morning after I don't sleep well.  I tossed and turned all night.  First I was hot, then I was cold, then I was uncomfortable, then I heard my son come in, then.....

Just before 7 AM, the phone starts ringing~

My daughter called to tell me her car was broken into.  It's terrible but, what can I do about it at that un-Godly hour?  So, I get up and make coffee and try to get my head screwed on straight.  At about 5 mins after 7, the phone rings again, I think it's my daughter but, oh no, it's the bakery!  "Hello", "Is this Kim?"  "No, this is Tammy"  "Oh, did you call about a cake?"  "Yes"  blah blah, yakity smackity.....

Glad I had my head screwed on or I could have really embarrassed myself.  I guess it's a good thing Ash called or I would have been incoherent.  I returned the favor to Ash and called her back and told her to get her hiney to the bakery to look at this woman's wedding cakes.  I think one good turn deserves another.

The good news is, we now have a cake!  Well, not the actual cake but Ashleigh chose one and we've agreed on a price.  The baker tried to talk me out of having it delivered!  Say What?  Like I'm going cut corners on the delivery.  It's only $15 and as far as I'm concerned, probably the best money spent.  $15 for peace of mind.  What the heck would I do if I dropped the cake?  Skip town?  Cry?  Yep, we're having it delivered!

I had intended to make the cake myself but, decided sometime ago, that it wasn't worth the angst .  I'm sure I'll be plenty busy during that time.  Well worth the few hundred dollars.  Sometimes you just have to know when NOT to be a Frugal Franny! 

The phone is off the hook and I see a nap in my future.

Delivery is worth it. I was coordinating a wedding for a friend, picked up the cake and, you guessed it, it went flying off the seat when I stopped for a traffic light. I was beside myself. The baker was able to fix it all up for me, but that was just about the last thing I needed...more stress!! I hope you got that nap in.
