Life is Never Really Slow … Really.

Random Saying of the Day
 ”Do I need to beat up your daughter?”

Murphy Conspiracy Continues
 For example, he (the cash register) ate three dollar bills while I was trying to get them out. His new favorite game though is to let people order balloons – as soon as I take a bite of my sandwich.

For those of you who are wondering why the posts have been so inconsistent:
 First, my apologies. I have become a procastinator of sorts recently.
 Secondly, it’s part of the Murphy Conspiracy. He has decided to hide all my notebooks in my house somewhere … along with my sunglasses and my chemistry homework.
 Thirdly, my apologies again. I am behind in schoolwork, and thus the load is rather overbearing. However, in the next two months, I hope to bump up the posts to at least twice a week once again.

February: Back to the Craziness.

February 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Boy, January was pretty slow. I mean, we sold a lot of stuff, but stories were pretty far and inbetween. But as soon as February started, stuff started going crazy again!

“I’d like a balloon please, the color Carolina blue.”
I’m sorry? I’ve never heard of that color.

Random Question of the Day
 ”Could you put stuff, like dollar bills, and earrings, and little candy bars, in the balloons? We did it a few years ago for my daughter’s friend, and it was so cool cause her gift was in the air, and she had to pop the balloon to open it.”

Random Bag Saying of the Day
 ”Clips can be used as a bag clip after the Life of the Balloon”. (It makes the balloon sound so … animated.)

I’ve gotta admit, since it is February, and since the craziness has started, I found the pattern. If someone orders balloons, people fill the store. Like I got one order for six … and I had six people come in. The next was 14 … and I had another 8 enter.
