Out of the mouth of Jade

I just have 2 quick stories about Jade. She has been cracking me up today.
1)
She noticed the little Christmas tree was gone, and asked where it went. I told her Nana took it. She asked if Nana couldn't go cut down a big tree. I told her that Nana likes to have a little tree. She replied, "Is that so the presents look bigger?".
2)
I was driving her to her friends house. "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" came on the radio. She made me turn it up so she could sing along. All of the sudden she stops singing and proudly exclaims, "I should be on the radio!!"
That's all.
THE END

Now that's thinking

I was reading Caibo a story. All of the sudden he made me stop. He took the book and sat it on the floor. Then he began trying to jump into the book (somebody watches too many cartoons). First he just tried jumping in. When that didn't work he said, "Darn it!!" and tried to Skidoo into the book. He also tried jumping higher, jumping backwards, and spinning around before he jumped in. Finally, he said "I know! I need a pogo stick". We don't have a pogo stick, but I have to give the kid credit. That's thinkin.

New Products

I finally have a new product for my store. You know the one I mentioned like 2 weeks ago. Yes, life has been crazy busy.





And because I like you here is some free word art...

My internet dependancy

Friday night there was an internet outage in my area, and for whatever reason I ended up with no internet until today. Now, 5 days isn't really that horrible. I mean people can go for weeks without the internet after a natural disaster. For me, 5 days was just enough to learn how dependant I am on the internet. I wasn't able to put any new products in my store. I didn't know what anyone was doing. I had no idea how much money I had in the bank. The worst of all was my house payment. I always pay it online. This time I had to make a phone call. I had to wait for the stupid automated system which told me it would cost me $15 dollars to make the payment over the phone. I waded my way through all the menus just to get directed to a customer service representative (because I have never paid over the phone). The first thing the customer service rep told me is that it would cost $20 to make a payment over the phone. Normally, I am a very nice person, but I had had enough, and I was not very nice to the poor dude. It worked. He only made me pay $15 to make my payment over the phone. Although I was not completely thrilled. I'll accept $15. It is much better than a late mortgage.
