I have survived!

Well, I survived another book deadline! I look frazzled and have probably gained about 10 pounds in the last month from all these desserts. I wouldn't have had this problem if I hadn't procrastinated working on this book for several months.

I won't tell you how high the dirty laundry is piled in my laundry room or how high clean unfolded laundry is piled on my guest bed. I won't admit to how black the water was when I finally got down on my hands and knees to scrub my downstairs tile. I hate to admit that I have 579 unopened email messages in just one of my email accounts. And you should see my stack of unopened mail.

There are times that I would just love to be able to hire a maid, but I've done it in the past and know how much it costs. So, here I go playing catch up!

The worst part is that I asked my editor how long I had to finalize the book before it heads to the printer. The Answer: TWO WEEKS!!!

So, tomorrow I'm back to work finalizing the last16 recipes! And teaching the 16 and 17 year old girls how to manage money tomorrow night at church! I'm sure there are others more qualified than I to teach this than I, but I'll do my best! I'll bring some treats to make up for my deficiency! :-)

You are so amazing Stephanie. You always get everything done you set out to do. I am so glad you accomplished everything! I need to get a hold of one of your dessert books now!:)

You are a super woman! I'm so impressed with you and how you do everything. I bet it's a relief to get those recipes all done.

You will do great teaching tonight. You are just the right person to teach it!

Does Emma want to come over and play for a couple of hours while you play catch up on laundry? :). Just let me know. I agree with everybody else--you are so amazing!
