Whirlwind
I am taking a break from all the things I need to be doing in order to write up a little post. My office is still a whirlwind, although some things have been put away, other things have been pulled out, and the to-do list is still frightening. It goes something like this:
Get an order of patterns and a packet of samples out in the mail to a new store that has contacted me (yay!)
Write up thank-you notes for Julie's birthday party and get those out in the mail
Pay some bills and enter the never-ending stack of receipts into Microsoft Money (blech).
Fold some laundry.
Ten other things which I know I promised myself today I would do tonight, but have since slipped my mind and I will be kicking myself tomorrow for not having done them.
Sew in the elastic on Julie's pants. I got started a day or two ago but have just not had time to get to them.
Knit a square or five on the blankie. (Oh, how I wish I had time to do this one!)
I want to share something with you that I found ridiculously funny today. I had to go to Best Buy to get a printer cartridge because the black one ran out just as I was in the middle of a different pattern order last night (when it rains it pours). I really don't care for Best Buy because I hate their customer service - every. single. time. I go in there it sucks. But it seems like every time I go looking for some techno-gadget, I end up there because it is the local place with the best deals and/or that carries what I am looking for. So I go into the one out in Minnetonka, because that was near another errand I was trying to accomplish during preschool time. I find the printer cartridges, and this is what the aisle looked like (sorry for the poor picture quality - I had to use my camera phone):
Does anyone else find it unusual that they had the printer cartridges displayed above and behind the blenders, toasters, and other small kitchen appliances? 'Cause that's where they were. With no prices listed for the print cartridges, just for the appliances. I have no idea why they wouldn't put the ink, say, with the printers. I didn't have time to investigate further because I wanted to have time for my second errand and still make it back to pick Julie up safely. Crazy store.
I know there were a bunch of other, much more interesting things I wanted to write about today, but of course they have slipped my mind. I do want to share that I just signed up for Secret Pal 9. This will be my first Secret Pal swap, and my second swap ever (I did the first Magic Ball swap a few months ago and it was fun.) Like I have time for this stuff. But it should be fun, and hopefully I'll get someone cool to pick out gifts for.
Back to work!

Shelly, I have one thing to say to you: http://www.inkjetgoodies.com/ You'll never have to buy ink cartridges at Best Buy again.
I completely understand your distaste for Best Buy. I also find that the stores are *always* too loud to think and figure out what you need so that you can get in and out efficiently.
My cousin's sister works for Best Buy and apparently, they design/manage the stores differently based on the target audience for that location. That's why some are really dark and loud and focused on music/video games and others are well lit and have lots of appliances and kids movies. I don't know who the target market is for Minnetonka with the inkjet/blender combo, but if you ever find a good Best Buy (ha!) stick with it.
