Before I do anything else, I want to correct an error that I made. Fontwerks stamps are proudly made in the USA. My apologies to Kah-Mei and to Fontwerks for that. I also want to say a big thank you to Kah-Mei for driving from Vancouver, BC to our house in Corvallis to ensure that the Ali Travel Stamps got to us as quickly as possible so we could get those out to our customers who were waiting for them. How’s that for tremendous customer service?!?!? THANK YOU KAH-MEI!!!!! I can’t wait to see the stamps she is creating just for us for the August kit!
I’m back in NH at my inlaws after a great weekend with my college roommates. We realized it had been 10 years since we were all together and that was at Brigid’s wedding so not exactly quality time. The last time we really just got together to hang out was 3 years before that! It’s so amazing to be around people with whom it’s as if no time has passed at all. I just got a call though from Helene and she is STILL waiting to get out of Boston Logan airport. We was supposed to be leaving at 2pm and she might be able to get on a 9:30 flight. IF that works out she’ll fly to Philly, then to Cleaveland where she’ll rent a car and drive 3 hrs to Dayton. She should be home by 4am. I think I passed my bad travel karma to her!
My internet woes continued throughout the weekend. I ended up booking us at a hotel that didn’t have wifi! Who doesn’t have wifi in this day and age?!?!? They had ethernet in the rooms. Mine didn’t work. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with tech support when they finally figured out my room’s cable didn’t work. They sent up a new one. That one didn’t work. They brought another new one. That one didn’t work and that was when they figured out that it was the “outlet” to the ethernet that didn’t work. They pulled the ethernet cable out of the wall, connected it to my computer and that finally worked. But in the meantime almost 2 hrs had passed and I wasted all the free time I had to work on Saturday. I’m surprised there’s still hair on my head after that episode as I was ready to tear it all out!
Today I figured at least I would be on the bus with wifi so I could use that hour and 20 minutes to catch up on email. No wifi on the return bus. Just MASH on the tv. I think I would much rather have had wifi!
My wonderful hubby just found a way for me to get on my computer at his parents’ house without using wifi (hooked up to their cable and am sitting in their laundry room but at least I’m on my computer!) and he got my Outlook to stop shutting down every few minutes and leaving replies hanging in the outbox (a problem since CHA). I am one happy camper now! Just got the kids down and I can now spend as long as it takes to get caught up! YAY!!! I think my karma is on an upward trajectory!
