We’re officially one week into what we at Robicelli’s call our slllloooooowwwww season. Not that we’re not busy baking or taking orders- rather, in two months, we begin the “Oh my God why are we so freaking busy and I’m never going to sleep again” season, so we’ve learned to just enjoy July and catch up on all the other stuff we’ve been neglecting all year.

Like spreadsheets.

And holy crap are spreadsheets fun! You can add or multiply all sorts of crap together! And, um……you can make cell different colors, too! Like, wacky colors that people aren’t expecting, like orange. While you all were out this weekend enjoying the sunshine and the whatnot, I was macking all over Microsoft Excel making it as extreme as Mountain Dew. Or should I say: XXXTREME.

And 10% Rastafied.

You know, there’s times where our kids tell me that they want to be little boys forever. Then I show them these spreadsheets and they’re like “No WAY! We can’t wait to be grownups!”. And really, who can blame them.

Another perk to being a grownup? You can eat dessert whenever the hell you want. You can go and eat these right now. You can buy them and eat them in bed tonight at 3am. You can eat 16 in a row and get a massive tummyache, but no one can stop you because you’re a grownup! So go and seize the little awesome parts about being an adult, because eventually “the man” is going to make you change your spreadsheets from neon green back to grayscale and the party’s over.

We’re back from our “mini vacation”, our shop at DeKalb Market is back open, AND we decided that since we took a few days off, we’d run our 2 for $5 special today, too! So go down and enjoy our container shop before it closes in a few months, goshdarnit!

Though we took extra time off from the shop this week, you think I wisely used my time catching up on all the paperwork I had put off while I was in Sesame Place? Of COURSE not! I spent quality time with my kids instead. So now I’m going to get back to doing that stuff right now, and leave you guys with the classic Chippendale’s sketch from Saturday Night Live.

Now comfort yourself over the fact you know that Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley are both dead by stuffing yourself full of sweets. Because that’s sure as f*** how I deal with my feelings.
