Today was the day I began searching for packaging for the cookies. Really, we had looked into packaging before (did you read my entry titled "Lady Werbeagentur"?) and we have an idea what we are looking for, but now is the time to seriously make arrangements for the container the cookies will be presented to our wonderful, and hopefully many many, customers. Since early morning I sent out emails, faxes, etc. and by noon I had almost ten replies. One man even called on the phone, amazingly an American selling packaging materials in Germany. His prices are not too bad either, I'll give things another couple of days so all the others can make their offers as well.

As the seconds tick away on the cookie-cabana.com countdown, my heart rate goes up accordingly. I know there is still some time left for all the things we have to do, but look how fast the seconds are vanishing into the past. Anyway, I am not worried... just a little anxious... well, maybe a little worried too. I don't know.

I asked our lawyer about the status of the company name registration, and he assures me (as lawyers seem to often do) that everything is in process, and that we will hear from the Deutschen Patent- und Markenamt in due course. I suppoe he knows what he is doing.
