Tonight’s plan was to start to make some Christmas candy. But I thought I’d ‘quick’ call the cell phone company with a question that I had. Yea, you can about imagine how the quick part turned out. My quick call had me on hold for over an hour. All I have to say is that when God was handing out patience, I think I was in the bath tub or something. I did stick it out and what was happening with my cell phone was when I updated the last software for it, it made it go a little crazy. It kept downloading all these old emails and stuff from months ago and I had no idea if anyone had called or left a message. Also for the last week or so I had to delete everything on my phone maybe 8 to 10 times a day. So like I said, tonight I finally bit the bullet and talked to them to find out how to fix it. The bad thing is that I did have it half fixed, but didn’t repair both emails that I get on my phone. Oh well, it’s fixed now.
So since it took much longer than I had expected on the phone call, I decided to gather my candy ingredients and see just exactly what I had and needed to get yet. And I guess the saying is true, that everything happens for a reason. For me tonight, I found out that I’d better be making a list of everything that I needed and check it twice before I get too far into the candy making season. I know that I’ll need to go and visit the Amish to pick up some more chocolate (probably 20 more pounds) and buy some more pecans and butter before this Christmas is over with. But on the bright side, I do have enough to get started and that’s good because some of William’s friends at college are looking forward to getting a platter of candy this weekend. But for now, I’m thinking tomorrow night would be a much better idea to start anyway. So what am I going to do tonight instead? Well I’m thinking I’m going to see about running a nice warm bath 🙂
