Just a bunch of sheer randomness. Trying to get a bunch of stuff done right now, so I apologize for the extreme stream of consciousness ramble. Onward!
Cold weather moved in with a vengeance last week. Snow, ice, and wind. I can deal with everything but the ice. Everything has been slicked over like a skating rink. The effect is beautiful when you're looking at blades of ice-encrusted glass poking up through the snow. Not so much when your stuck in the middle of a damn sidewalk trying not to fall on your fat ass.
Seriously, it's like we're having January four weeks early. What's up with that? More is on the way for Xmas.
When the storm moved in, I had a one day sales dip, but it bounced right back. I'm over 600 at the moment. Not sure how much higher they'll go, as I'm expecting a slow down this week. I'd like to clear four hundred this month, which would be my new record.
I'm holding up on re-stocking right now, hoping that the last of the holiday stuff will ride out the month okay. Otherwise, I'm shifting things around to fill holes on shelves. Sometimes, all an item needs is a new location in the booth to sell.
I'm planning on calling a moratorium on merch purchases at the end of the month, after I get through the post-Xmas clearance period. I've got about 8 large Rubbermaid tubs of stuff stashed all over the house, which should give me enough to last the winter.
Early next month, I'm sweeping through, pulling some items, marking down a bunch more, making a clearance table and completely re-stocking with fresh stuff for the new year. I'm ending 2010 on a roll, so I need to blow into 2011 with a bang.
I had a moment of panic a couple of days ago when I couldn't remember all Santa's reindeer. I was forgetting Dasher. Why does Santa have a reindeer named Vixen, by the way??
I've come to realize that I could watch the Powerpuff Girls Christmas Special, "Twas the Fight Before Christmas" over and over every year and not grow tired of it. And I'm not ashamed to admit it either!
Enough of that, how about some links?
Queen of Fifty Cents has put a new video up. This time it's all the pets she has met while out saling this year.
Why has this not been done? Link courtesy of VRS.
Well, I gotta scoot. More later.
