Hope you’re having an AWESOME Mother’s Day! Many of you know that my mom and I work together here at the FF. We usually chat every Sunday and, while we try not to talk too much about work, fred pretty much has this way of demanding center stage. Anyway, today I thought you might enjoy listening in… And, hey, don’t forget to give YOUR Mom a call today, okay?
Keith: Hi Mom!
Anne: Hi Keith.
K: I have you on speakerphone… How’s your day going so far?
A: Aaarrrggghhh! The weather is gloomy, bills are due, and I am researching rules for jury duty for fred’s employee handbook. Do you have chocolate you could send me?
K: Ha ha, I wish I did! Well, hoping you can take a lil’ break to chat… Since today is Mother’s Day and all, I thought it might be fun to share some behind-the-scenes with our readers about what it’s like to work as a mom/son team.
A: Alright, I’m game…
K: Okay, let’s start at the beginning. Can you explain more what your job is at fredflare.com?
A: Until recently I thought it was to handle all the financial issues regarding the company. You know, balancing bank accounts, working on contracts, dealing with discrepancies regarding money. BUT after this past week when we had a government audit, I’ve decided my job is to keep the government away from you… And we did!
K: Thanks again for all your help with that. For those of you who don’t know already, my Mom usually works from her home in Michigan but this project required her to fly in to New York to meet with the auditor dude… She even wore a business suit!
A: I did. First time in ages. I usually come to New York a couple times a year for various projects. I’m hoping the next time will be when we open our first brick and mortar store. Of course, there will be various accounts to set up to keep track of our expenses. While this may seem boring to some people I really enjoy it.
K: Maybe this is weird to say but, to be honest, I still kinda can’t believe that this is a “real” business with all those boring things that, thank God, you enjoy! I feel like it was just yesterday that CJ and I were dreaming this up… I remember you came to visit and we were sitting at a Starbucks in SoHo and I was unhappy at my full-time job but didn’t know exactly what to do next. You leaned forward and said, “Let me help you.” And you’ve been helping us ever since. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for that.
OMG, soooo happy it’s Friday! You know CJ and I try and stick to this Zone diet during the week but on the weekend we PARTY and, lemme just say, after working on this ecard I am planning on eating A LOT of cookies this weekend… Wait a minute, I do that every weekend. Whups. Anyways, here is a selection of great cookbooks if you’re looking to get inspired in the kitchen and, don’t forget, our big SALE is ON! Have a great weekend!
**DESTINY (CYRUS) IS A FICKLE BETCH ALERTZ** OMFG, Lost was crazy last night. Hello, John Locke! I was already going on like 6 hours of sleep over the past 2 days so watching this ep turned me into an even bigger bundle of anxiety attacks… And I loved it all. Okay peeps, everyday is getting closer… Like a roller coaster. Seriously, let’s get Lost.
