*sighs* We just finished 5 hours of discussion over chat for the NPO and we ended up at exactly where we were 2 weeks ago.
It's like this: We've been trying to figure out what our materials are, how much they cost, and how much money we can make. We said, let's buy all the ingredients, since, you know, there aren't a lot, and we can buy it in small amounts. We decided to buy it all from Walmart, so Erica and I calculated the costs on Friday. Then we found the total ingredients for 1 batch of sugar cookies and 1 batch of chocolate crinkles and 1 batch of royal icing (like all put together) and we got.. well, this long list of ingredients. Anyway, I calculated how much for 6 batches, and how much it would cost for ingredients for 6 batches rounded up to the nearest pack. We spent aaaaallll this time doing the calculation and stuff, including making baking plans for tomorrow (Friday) and then at the end, I realized that I couldn't bake tomorrow because I had a piano lesson and I had to practice. Well, one thing led to another, and then the next thing I knew, we weren't going to bake at all but we were going to each buy our own pre-baked goods to resell on Monday.
*sigh* This means we wasted 5 hours discussing something, and ending up exactly where we started. I suggested we resell instead of bake ourselves, like 2 weeks ago, at the beginning of this, and we spend so much time and energy, but went back to this idea.
Well, as Margo says, "life's like this sometimes," we just gotta roll with it. It's okay as long as we raise $1000 for our charity, because that's the most important part. I think the learning outcome of this is, in part, learning how to cooperate with people, among developing a successful non-profit organization, because people skills are important.
That means I'm learning. Me learning = good. :D (for me :P)
