Secret Family Enterprise...??

hmmm...I guess you'll never know. ;) Chapman's Ice Cream...created by David Chapman (also my dad's name...coincidence? hmmm...) Great ice cream I might add...one of the best out there (no bias there at all). I got to go on a tour through their plant in Markdale on Tuesday. I saw how they make all kinds of cool things! The checkerboard ice cream, sorbet, icecream cups....etc etc. It was pretty sweet! Quite the system of machines. The reason I was there was because they are one of my customers. Now I know you're probably wondering what the heck an ice cream company needs from an industrial and construction supply company. Well, all that ice cream is made in machines, and those machines need repairs and constant maintenance, so we supply them with a bunch of fasteners. Don't worry...all the products that they make are run through metal detectors, so you can rest assured that none of my fasteners will be in your next tub of Chapman's mint chocolate chip ice cream. (oh, and did you know that Chapman's also makes the no-name ice cream sandwiches?? They apparently make a lot of PC products too...I hope I'm allowed to share that info...) Well, that was my exciting story of the week. :)

In other news, I'm getting an apartment on Jan 1st, which I'm quite thrilled about! It'll be nice to have my own space. Tomorrow I'm heading down to Kitchener for a work Christmas party, which should be quite fun. Crystal is coming with me and we get to dress all pretty! :D yay!

I don't think I have anything more to say right now. :)
