MEET CAFFE STELLA
I went to visit this cafe yesterday with my mom. It's REALLY cute on the inside...all star themed (hence the name. They even have strands of lights criss crossed across the open ceiling to simulate stars at night! For example
Mom had told me all about this place and I HAD to come check it out. It is just too adorable! Their main business is just Coffee and Desserts. We sampled a couple of these desserts yesterday and YUM! Very good. Why blog about it though? Well...Mom is VERY interested in buying it. And I am very interested in helping her run it.
When David and I found out we were going to be moving up to Atlanta back in November, my first thought was, "Well now Mom doesn't have to always say If only you lived up here we could do this." Now here I am....4 months back in Atlanta and still jobless (although and I am still clinging to hope for a call back from a job that sent me an application tomorrow or Tues). I'm readily available to do whatever needs to be done and ever since I started learning how to decorate cakes, I've pretty much wished I had a place where I would have the equipment and room to do it. WELL, if we had this place I could make and decorate cakes :) And not just that, but all sorts of desserts! My mom makes the absolute BEST Cheesecake...(and I don't care if anyone else doesn't believe it...until you try it you can't tell me otherwise...NO ONE has ever said they have had better). AND I love to bake. My only boss would be my mother and she's been bossing me around for most of my life ;) lol (LOVE YOU MOM!!!)
Personally, I am hoping Dad is agreeable to us pursuing it because it really would be a dream realized. The only down side is that we live 30 mins away from this place. AND that they normally open at 630 in the morning! EEK...
My other opportunity that I am curious to hear back from is for a leasing consultant job. I've applied to several jobs and not heard a thing back from them. On Thursday I got a call and an email requesting that I fill out the attached application on my email and fax it back to them ASAP. I know it would be a pretty well paying job...it would REALLY help us get out of some bills and get things taken care of so maybe we can start looking into a house in the near future.
I've made it pretty clear to my mom (or I hope I did) that I want to do the cafe, but at the same time I can't turn down a job if its offered to me...if she doesn't wind up buying it and I do turn down a job then I'm stuck in a rut again....I'm going mental with no job and with one income. It makes things VERY hard!
So what do you think?
Could you take on any job offered to you right now, then the moment you know you can work at that place with your mom, you quit the other job?
ReplyDeleteWell see thats the thing. I don't want to quit the other job if I get it. It's something I want to do and I don't want to ruin my future opportunities with it either. I DID get a short phone interview today and was offered and opportunity to interview with the recruiter in Atlanta on Weds. I found out that they are considering me for the Kennessaw position (which is kinda great because its 10 mins from my place) and that its a seasonal position. They want someone to start in April and work through August, MAYBE September.
ReplyDeleteSO...I dunno. I know my mom really wants to do the Cafe thing and I really want to do it with her, but I also cant not work if I have the opportunity. I'm sure we'll work it out whatever happens
