Free Candy

Yikes! The heat is out again. Also the hot water and the buildings electricity. Probably a fuse somewhere...

Busiest day of the year at the jewel box yesterday. Looooooong lines (some people must like that) yet not that many "lists." People are trying to get ideas. Very easy to make suggestions and help them along.

Poor Robin had a line at his register pretty much non-stop. We worked different shifts but today we both work early.

Our little calendar store, in a new and beautiful location, isn't doing as well this year as last. Not sure why. Maybe because it's so close to our store this year and we're competing with ourselves...

Started to read, "Eat, Pray, Love" but it was too much estrogen for me. So I'm reading good testosterone dripping, "I am Legend." It's not very good but it has its moments (last man on earth fighting vampires). It actually kind of reads as a psychological metaphor (as all good pulp fiction does) for someone stuck in a rut... I wonder if the movie picked up on that (probably not).

The picture is from that great series Demotivation from despair.com. Here's another one that made me laugh out loud:

When I was talking to someone in your jewel box yesterday I said, "please say hello to Mr. Black for me", and the box seller said, "Big or Little Black?"
Merry Christmas, see you soon, I hope.
