Long Day

It's been a long long day in my workspace. Lots got accomplished which is good since I've been away for a few days helping out with some stuff back home. Most importantly however, that Canada order - the one that has been dogging me for literally months at this point - finally got picked up and on its way today. For how small the order really is, all the stress and agony almost doesn't seem worthwhile. But I know in the long run that this one small order can mean lots of bigger orders down the road. In fact, I shudder to think what would have happened to my little company if last year this Canadian company and the sister US company hadn't placed holiday orders. All my little independent stores were running scared and were too worried about the recession to really place any significant orders. But this Canada company and the US sister company really helped me out in a big way revenue-wise. So no complaining from me...in fact perhaps I should send them a fruit basket? Nevermind, it wouldn't make it past customs.

Tomorrow is an exciting day. My dayplanner simply says QuickBooks Q1. That's a lie - it also says "Give the dogs their Sentinal pills" but since that will only take a quick second the majority of the day will be devoted to QuickBooks. (Big sigh)

I am going to go check out a new - well, used - sewing machine that I spotted on Craigslist tomorrow. I need a sewing machine for my fabulous new idea - the one I mentioned before that is akin to hats for squirrels. Hopefully I can pick this sewing machine up for less then $100 and then hopefully I can figure out how to use it.

I sometimes think of what my life would be like if I worked for a real company. I'm assuming "catch up with a quarter's worth of Quickbooks" and "pick up sewing machine" would not be on my list of things to do on any given day. "Give the dogs their Sentinal pills" still would be on my list though.

Since Easter is this Sunday I leave you with my fabulous Easter eggs. If you're friends with me on Facebook then you've already seen them. Yes, I am that proud of them. I'm always too busy at Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to really go all-out with the decorations so I did Easter up right with six super-snazzy Easter Eggs. (For my Jewish friends - I also made some kick-a$$ macaroons so that I could get all major religions covered. Sadly I didn't take any pictures of those.)
