Minnesota State Fair admission tickets went on sale yesterday and I immediately purchased the nine tickets I'll need. They're all loaded up on my phone now, ready to be scanned. I'll need to figure out how to print some out - DH comes after work one day and Chickie joins us on Sunday. I wasn't having any luck printing my tickets yesterday, but I'll try again later today and see if I'm any luckier. I always feel better with paper copies - you never know what might happen to a phone signal when you need it.

The Minnesota State Fair, aka the "Great Minnesota Get--Together" put their pre-sale tickets on sale yesterday. (I drive by this entrance to the Fair every day to and from work). Getting the tickets early saves a little bit of money. Not a huge amount, but some. I still remember tickets under $10. Yesterday's tickets were $17/each and I buy nine of them. Oh well, it's only money, and it's for some of the best days of the year for me. |
I'm still pending on that mail order. I got a message from the customer late last night - that she's still thinking about a couple of things. I've responded that her current order is invoiced and packed and just awaiting payment, and that I'd be happy to start a second order for her, but this one needs to get moving. There are some colors in her order that I had very few of - where she's buying all of the remaining stock I have. If I have a local customer coming in for one of those colors, the computer is going to tell me that I still have some in stock. But I really don't because it's part of my customer's order. I need to wrap this first order up and she can start a second one if she wants.

I have a box similar to the one on the left in this photo, filled with Swarovski crystals and ready to send to my California customer. But, I need her credit card before I can send it. Hopefully she'll call with that today. I need this wrapped up before the end of the week or our books will really be screwed. |
It's my last day of swimming this week. It's been cold - the water has been perfection, but the actual weather has been cooler than we usually have in early June. It's made for some very quick runs out to the pool, and even faster runs back into the building. AND, the sauna is out of order, so we can't even dart into there to warm up slightly before taking our showers after swimming. That sucks! However, being in the pool, listening to my book and swimming ... that's wonderful. I'm not a fast swimmer, but I'm in the water for a minimum of 45 minutes of continuous swimming. So it's a good workout.

This is our pool during the day. We're usually pretty crowded at 5:00 am. My lane is usually shared with at least one other person. But if we are joined by a third, I do warn people that I'm not a fast swimmer, so they'll be passing me regularly. I'm not a total turtle, but I was never speedy, even when I was young. I just plod along, stroke by stroke like a turtle ... LOL. |
So I hope all of you have a fabulous Thursday. I'm hoping today will see resolution of the mail order and a correction to our stock on hand quantities that will allow me to accurately respond to my in store customers when they ask if something is available for purchase. I had some fun customers yesterday, I hope I'll have some fun ones today as well. Have an excellent Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
