Hello Lilith, come here often? Blog #21

Hello everyone. So Thursday was fun. The contractor took the day off and I was there alone. But I finished up all the painting in the front of the house.  Dan showed up and started the bar. My Banker showed up on Thursday as well and told me we were good to go with my money and that I would get it Fri. whew!! After work, I went shopping for the ingredients for my Absinthe cookies and hot chocolate to be served during the downtown Christmas walk. Got home and started baking and I only finished up at 2 in the morning. Grabbed a quick sleep and then back up in the morning to make menus and attach them to business cards and make the hot chocolate. Loaded up the car and off I went to LBM. It was a miserable day. Cold, snowy and very, very windy. At 16:30 Nancy showed up to hang the art work. Last week when she came in, it was just to get a feel. She took them back and touched them up and finished them off. There are 3 paintings in total with 4 fairies. I love them all but there is one that stands out to me and I’ve named her already.   Lilith!!  I’ve yet to name the other three. I will name them as they come to me.  By 18:00, the walk was under way and the wind had calmed down a bit but it was still freezing. But the wonderful ppl of North Bay embraced the cold and came out anyway and after the lighting of the tree they came in and, boy did they come in. 18ltrs of hot chocolate gone in 55min., 300 cookies gone in 90 mins., 100 menus with cards gone in 120 min. We had to get more copies printed! So needless to say, I was very happy. Ppl seem to be excited about LBM and they can’t wait till it opens. That makes two of us ha ha ha.

Saturday I had a private catering. Dan was supposed to finish the Bar on Sat and Louise was to let him in as I was working on my function. Today (Sunday) I took the day off. I needed a break. Tomorrow I’m meeting with my alcohol rep to decide on wines and booze for the Resto. They don’t do absinthe so I’m on my own there. Jacques (the contractor) will finish up on Tuesday as planned. I’ll be on my own for the rest. I’m still waiting on the hood to come. I’ll do the floor myself and Don told me he’d come to help me paint the kitchen this week. I put the word out for staff as well. Just on facebook and word of month. Not working as well as I hoped. So I’ll have to try other avenues this week. Tues night off to a meeting in T.O. and back Wed. Woo Hoo another road trip.

Have a good week everyone and we’ll blog at you soon.

Le Commis, Glenn
