Now With Less Steam!
Well hello there, world! I just want everyone to know that what I wrote a couple of days ago was just blowing off steam, not a cry for help. I’m OK, if a bit worn down. I’ve battled my demons and emerged scathed but living. I am in a positive mood. I am taking America’s Treasure Maya Angelou’s advice and greeting everyone with a smile. Even though it may seem like an unsightly grimace, it is actually a smile. I smile with my eyes, that’s how I smile. It’s like little mouths under my eyebrows. Smiling mouths.
In other news, now that the new store is open, it’s time to pull my life back together. I haven’t opened my mail in months, and let’s not talk about the laundry situation. I (rashly) purchased the used Mini as described previously. It gets very good mileage and is fun to drive, and although it possibly wasn’t the smartest maneuver I have ever made for any number of reasons, it was retail therapy at its best.
Here’s hoping everyone indulges in retail therapy at my lovely stores so I can, you know, pay for it.

We have, on Monday, had a "soft-opening" of the Tiki Shop in it's new location. So far, things have been better there, in the last two days, than they have been in the past year. So I have hope that we will survive. Fingers crossed. I know how difficult it can be getting (and keeping) a small business up and running. Thank God for my hub and kids who know how to keep the homefront in line (laundry? clean undies? huh?). I can feel everything you're experiencing and I'm hoping too, that people can see the "aloha" behind the smiling mouths below my eyebrows ::wink::
In Hawai'i, we say "Ho'omaika'i" instead of congrats. I send all good wishes from one retail slave to another and lots of Ho'omaika'i!

Mini Mini Mini Mini!!!
What color is it? I suppose I could just stalk your house and figure it out... so how long is it going to be until there's nothing in your neighborhood but Minis and Prii?

Wooo. I'm finally getting back to blogreading, hooray. The store is fabulous and you look fabulous and I'm can't wait to see the fabulous mini. (By the way, it is the longest !@#$% year in modern memory. Thanks be to the gods that a new administration is just around the corner.)
