Customer Relations

Monday has been my day all winter to go grocery shopping & it has been very interesting to say the least. I appear to be a magnet for LOP's (little old people) to ask for help to find things.

I frequently get "Do you work here?"

"Why yes, don't all sales clerks walk around in a coat & scarf?"

Last week I spent at least 10 mins helping a lady find the right toilet paper while discussing the merits of one or two ply? Pretty sad ugh?

Yesterday I was asked where the greek yogurt was. Now picture this lady....she was barely four foot...I towered over her & I'm only 5'2" on my tippy toes! She told me she was 101 years old & had never had greek yogart!

I wanted so bad to say "Well you go girl!" but I didn't think she'd get me!

As I walked away all I could think was...did she drive to the store by herself?

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
