We sat up to watch the fireworks at the Space Needle so we can’t be called “old fuddy duddies” ’cause we went to bed early, but I must say that trying to figure out what to do while you are waiting for the fireworks takes alot of effort for us couch potatoes. We ended up watching Men in Black 2 and that little pug, Frank, was pretty funny. I know, I could have been downstairs sewing my eye balls out, or cleaning my sewing room so I can find things better, but remember I mentioned ‘couch patatoes’. I did get my poinsettia applique out and worked on it in between getting up and eating. When the fireworks finally went off, after all the hub-bub about the best show ever, they pooped out. It’s too bad because it looked like it really could have been a wonderful display. It least they didn’t show the display over a second and a third time like they usually do. Someone must have tripped over the electrical cord and unplugged the computer because they had to set the rockets off by hand. So much for bringing in the new year.
There hasn’t been alot to do today, either. DH has been watching bowl games. We both went into our respective business and did some work, checked messages and I entered all the new customer names into our database so we can keep track of all that you buy. It gets to be time consuming and I don’t get the time to enter them during the day, usually. Tomorrow will be the first day of inventory. I really hate doing this but it needs to be done. If we get in and work I’m hoping to finish in 2 days. We will see. I’m waiting for a hand held scanner to show up so it will make the recording much faster, but it was supposed to show up Monday but it didn’t. Ain’t it the way.
We had our annual clearance sell the week after Christmas as we always do and it went well. We’ve been at our new location coming up on a year and I must say that moving into downtown Gig Harbor has been a good thing. It’s too bad that it took getting kicked out of the old location to do it. And it’s hard to believe that Pierce Transit hasn’t done anything with those properties yet. They park and ride was supposed to be completed by now and they haven’t even started. Well, enough of that. It’s 2008 and there are too many things to do and go to be rehashing bad news.
I mentioned this site in my January newsletter for the store and I got an email asking me what the site address was. What a blockhead! I knew I’d forget something and I forgot to list the address. Oh, well.
Time to get up and have a snack. Then I think I’ll work on my applique or maybe read my new Sue Grafton book. Bye
