Our annual Santa Clause parade will be happening tomorrow night. And I have two young kids who are super excited about this. This parade is all they have been talking about for the past couple of weeks. They plan on making out their letters to Santa and handing it to the postal employees tomorrow night at the parade. And…. they both can’t wait to see Santa. Although I am 41, I am quite excited about this evening out as well. I love to watch the kids faces as they see the different floats going by and I’m sure this year will be no different. The weather man is calling for a nice evening tomorrow night. So as long as the weather holds out for this event, our entire family will be going out to get a glimpse of the big guy himself.
So I’ve started back at my home crafting business. This is actually the best time of year to sell handcrafted jewelry so I have been a busy little beaver getting ready for the upcoming Christmas season. I have sold a few pieces and am extremely pleased about this, but I would love to sell a whole lot more. So I have been advertising a lot more and am thinking about branching out to different areas of the business.
One area where I have been paying close attention to is my customer service. Although I am quite pleased with the customer service that I do offer and the customers seem to be pleased as well, I know there are areas that I could improve in. One such area would be the methods in which I use to contact and to interact with customers. I have been checking out some virtual hosted predictive dialers to see if this type of service would benefit me in any way. I really do think it would so I am going to give this area a lot more thought and then maybe after the Christmas season is behind me, I will check into this option a little more closely. All these improvements can only help the business right?!
Well it looks like I have no choice. I have to go to the dentist. Now to most of you this probably wouldn’t be a huge deal, but I am absolutely terrified of dentists. I haven’t been to the dentist in over eight years (yeah, I know that’s bad, but really I am absolutely scared to death of them). But I have had a tooth ache for the past month and really have to go and get that looked after.
So I’ve been digging around the Internet trying to find a dentist that I may end up going to. I have been checking out places like San Diego dental crowns and other dental offices and have been extremely impressed with what I’ve read. So now all I have to do is make my decision of who to go to and make the appointment. I realize that my fears really are groundless, but I still can’t help feeling the way I do. But in the end, I think the tooth ache pain is going to win over my extreme fears.
Thursday of last week I went to look at a 2001 Neon and ended up buying it. The car that I currently own is a 1996 and was due for inspection within the next couple of months. Well I knew it wouldn’t pass inspection without putting quite a bit of money into it and I didn’t want to do that for a car that old. So I bought a newer one! I picked it up and Friday and having been driving it quite a bit since then. To say that I absolutely love my new car is a serious understatement! It’s a good thing that I love it as I’m going to have to keep it for a while. So that is my latest purchase in life. Now if we could only buy our house, I will be perfectly set for life.
Where does the time go?? Seriously it just seems to fly by these days. It’s Friday already and I really couldn’t tell you where the week went. Wednesday was a holiday for my husband and the kids so maybe that’s what is messing me all up?? I don’t know. Oh well, have a great weekend and I’ll see you all again real soon.
Last week was a pretty rough week for my entire family. All of us were sick. So this meant that I didn’t get a whole lot of work done around here at all. So today I get to try and play catch up. I’ve already been to the bank and the grocery store. I’m trying to finish up all my online work. Then I have dishes, laundry…. etc to complete. I don’t know what is worse. Being sick and not being able to do anything, or feeling better and having to do everything. Oh well, I’m sure all my work will eventually get done.
I have a busy, busy weekend ahead of me. So I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy weekend and I will see you all again real soon.

I know Halloween was a few days ago, but I’m only getting in her now to tell you all about my kids night. My daughter went as a vampire and my son went as the devil. They had a blast. They were out for a couple of hours and managed to drag home a pillow case full of candy each. The police were out patrolling that night and handing out candy and the kids got a huge kick out of that. We only had about 18 kids here at our house so we still have tons of candy left over as well. So now the fun begins. Eating all that candy.
