Contract Signing Day

Today I signed a lease agreement for my new bakery. Now I get to start decorating. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head but no real money to make any of them a reality. My sister and I worked Saturday evening and managed to clean out and move the counter and rearrange the tables and chairs. I'm disappointed with the tables and chairs that I have but they'll have to do for now. Here is a list of the things that have to happen before February 1st:

• Open bank account
• Get business license
• Get tax ID number
• Wallpaper back wall
• Stain wood on counter and back wall
• Paint ceiling tiles
  
• Install glass front on counter
• Install chalk board
• Have sign installed
• Have window signs done
• Purchase, put together and install new display shelves
• Order teas
• Meet with food vendor (for supplies and paper products)
• All
  
• the
  
• many
  
• other
  
• things
  
• I'm
  
• forgetting
  
• right
  
• now

For now I'm off to bed. I'll be back to my list tomorrow.... We'll see what get accomplished!!

Starting a blog

I've never written a blog before, but then I've never opened a bakery before either so I thought this would be a fun way to remember the adventures that are sure to ensue. I'll update as often as I can and I here by commit to updating at least once a week.
