Ready Set Ship!

Hope and I are still getting used to our new PCs. Some nice surprises - Hope is happy with the speed of her new PC. Most of my software loaded without a problem. And some nasty ones. Apparently Microsoft only allows you a certain number of PCs to die before you have to buy a new version of Office. But my new Gateway was preloaded with Microsoft Office Starter - and these versions of Word and Excel appear to have everything I need.

Where does the time go?

Wow - it's October already. We're getting ready for the holidays here at Golly Gear. We've already gotten our holiday pre-ordered items from a couple of our distributors and have to figure out where to put them! (They'll be up on the site very soon!) And next weekend is the big Christmas pet trade show here in Chicago. It's a good opportunity to scope out nifty new products, and take advantage of some great show specials from the manufacturers we already purchase from! I have a love-hate relationship with this show. I love it because it gives us a chance to reconnect with our suppliers and discover new products that we can't live without. I hate it because it's here in town so we have to take care of our regular business and everything else at home, and our feet hurt...

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Happy Day After Christmas, everyone! Yesterday was a quiet day at home - snuggled with the dogs, watched movies and appreciated the fact that we didn't have to go anywhere! To get in the mood, we watched "A Christmas Carol" with Patrick Stewart (it was on TNT a few years ago and perhaps in reruns since). Got the warm fuzzies. I knit a few rows on my afghan, read a few chapters. Great day. And then this morning woke up to an ice storm. The newscasters said there were too many crashes and fender-benders on the expressways to talk about. Yup, back to reality! (No worries - made it to work safely.)
