So I am getting really excited about making Christmas cards this year. I think the glitter and glam factor is going to go up like a hundred fold from last year. I think I'll go this weekend to get all my supplies!! I love it. I expanded my list this year of people I am sending them to and last year took me long enough to make them as it is so i have to start early this time.
I took the day off tomorrow cuz I have a little more vaca to use up. Well of course it is supposed to be a snowstorm and that will affect my day of doing a million things I want to do. But maybe not, maybe I will be lucky and it won't be snowy and I won't be lazy and stay home in my pjs all day!!! I relaly need this vaca day cuz I am goin to bwe working two stores the next couple weeks and so they want me to have unlimited overtime but work a lot. So I better enjoy this day!!!

Christmas Cards12/03/2006 23:22 #29078
Buffalo OrnamentThe one christmas gift I really wanted to find was a Buffalo christmas tree ornament to send to my friend who moved to Tennessee with her husband. NO STORE ON ELMWOOD HAS ONE! let me clarify, Everything Elmwood had one really ugly one. But that's it. Every store assumed that every other store had one but noone did. I checked Homeward Bound, Talking Leaves, Room, Everything Elmwood, the Tea Shop/artist galleries across from the coop, Positively Main Street, Plum Pudding, Spoiled Rotten, Gallery 51, Blue Moutnain Coffee and everywhere else you can imagine. It was maddening. I really didn't even think for a second I wouldn't be able to find one. I also did not find the other thing I was looking for which I cannot mention hear as the recipient may read tihs. All in all I shopped like 40 hours this weekend , which don't get me wrong, I love it but really I ende dup with nothing except one person's gift and that is prolly the easiest person to shop for. I'll be back at it next weekend...i do love it though I really do.

Mike's murder mystery special videoCategory: story
This is a video (e:paul) filmed of my murder mystery dream. We put it on youtube because the filesize was huge. Sorry it is so dark (e:Terry) thought it added ambiance in the dark.

wow, your faceless people fears were both in that dream. haven't you always been afraid of being killed and also of being framed for murder by faceless people? Seems like it's the same guy who does both! the clues are trickling in slowly (and by slowly i mean 1 in 23 years so far).

Bumper Sticker ContinuationWowser I didn't realize my bumper sticker comment would illicit such responses. Just a few things. Most things are not actually metal anymore. When me and (e:paul) went to put bumper stickers all over buffalo we found there are very few signs and lamp posts that bumper stickers will actually stick to. And i still think they were a good idea though kinda expensive. But it is time for some new strategies probably. Maybe I will try and think of some but as many of you know, I am pretty lazy.

Texty and Saving An Old Lady's FinancesI got more sad about losing my old phone when I realized old texts I had saved will be gone. I stupidly was thinking I oculd just forward tem to myself and forgot that my old phone lost its signal when I activated my new phone. At least they will always be in the old phone which I will keep forver and ever like everything else in my life.
I saved a lady like hundreds of dollars by helping her sign up for EPIC today. I love doing that. People get excited about that stuff. Especially when it is like between getting their medicine and eating and then I give them the opportunity to do both. Old ladies love that stuff.
Eckerd finally came through with a somewhat raise after all. I guess it is ok for now and I know my District Mangare fought really hard for it so that felt good but still I feel it is a stupid company yet I love it like an abusive lover.
I'm afraid people at work are gonna think I am on an amateur porn site and so I am not putting my bumper sticker on anymore for a little while. Too many customers mention it and I don't wnat the going to estrip.com and thinking I do that. ... well unless they are willing to pay me to see that...haha
I don't see the Golden Girls as much as I used to and I think that adversely affects my attitude.
Me and (e:terry) are getting serious about pharmacy school. WOohoo!

I thought the (e:strip) bumber stickers where a great idea. I did put mine of my fridge but I don't have a car. Not sure if you know a good lawyer who you can just ask questions to. But what would happen if someone in the dark of night put bumber stickers on radom cars, trucks and buses. The other idea again this might be illegal not sure would be to put them on street signs the ones that face walking traffic on elmwood not the street just a couple ideas. Or maybe even put some bumper stickers on light poles.

I loved the bumper stickers. It's a great idea and I'm not deterred by what the Eckerd Clientele might think. We ought to take some of the extra and surreptiously slip them on to some of the street signs along elmwood for the holidays. It's nice word of mouth advertising. To throw money at Jamie Moses and other venues would be a waste of the estrip.org resources.

how can you say that the bumper stickers were a bad idea? i loved them. maybe they were expensive, but that's only b/c so many people did not contribute when they could have. everything costs money, if we want to advertise, we have to pay for it. i still say we should charge for entrance to parties. $3 is not unreasonable, is it?

paul - 11/28/06 23:53
What we need is some new sort of new advertising/publicity campaign. The bumper stickers were probably the worst idea ever. Not only were they outrageiously expensive. I still have like 100 of them and most people put them on their fucking refrigerators.
I find it amazing that this has never come to light in the last 3 years. Maybe you can be in charge of that mike with your advertising and PR background.
