Mrs. Fields???

Hmmm…

My mind is wandering again…

After the accolades from Tex and the continued rave reviews from Holly and Melissa I’m thinking more and more…

About something they’ve said…

Something I’ve heard at every job I’ve ever had and brought baked goods into…

Something even my aunts in Florida have been saying…

They all think I should open my own little bake shop.

That’s a scary, yet tempting thought…

What if I actually did it???

What if I gave it a try?

My biggest fear, of course, is failing.

My 2^nd biggest fear is that I’d quickly learn to hate baking.

Of course, the movie “The Muse” is running through my head at the moment…

The scene where Sharon Stone’s character is convincing Andy McDowell’s character that she could be the next Mrs. Fields…

And the quote “Why can’t I be the next Mrs. Fields?”

Could that be me?

I don’t know.

There’s the issue of needing BENEFITS…

And startup capital…

And a location…

And a customer base…

And equipment…

And I gather my recipes from all different places – magazines, cookbooks, etc…

I don’t know that I’d be allowed to sell cookies that I hadn’t created the recipe for…

*SIGH*

I just don’t know…

I think it’d be fun…

Hard work, but fun…

Maybe I’ll start small…

Like selling cookie tins…

Next holiday season…

I’ll advertise locally and see if I get any bites.

I mean, there’ve got to be people out there who’d want to purchase tins of homemade cookies to give to friends and loved ones, right?

Cookies that are tasty and reasonably priced…

Maybe I’ll even start trying to get my feet wet before the next holiday season…

Like advertise to make tins for baby showers, weddings, etc…

I don’t know…

Just as I begin to get momentum and excitement about the idea my own lack of confidence knocks me back down to thinking I could never do it…
