Annual Announcement--VERY Important!
2003-11-12 : 10:46 p.m.


First and foremost, a reiteration of the public service announcement dealt out one year ago.

Anyone who cannot handle or maintain a civilized attitude within the Christmas buying season will leave any and all stores and malls sans shopping markets. They will read carefully all signs before purchasing, minimizing their stupidty when they realize that the sale item is a final sale even if it is broken (which was why it was on sale with the "As Is" sticker boldly placed on the front of the item). They will not return anything until the month of January and then only 5 days after the first of the month. Children under the age of 12 will be kept within the confinement of the home and school until further notice. Customers must look through the store before asking where an item is. Upon looking at items they must look underneath the piece and at the sales sticker before asking "how much."
All holiday shopping is to start in the month of February.
Store clerks are not held responsible if anyone with a nasty attitude is bodily thrown out, kicked out, cast over the side of the mall railings, hurled into the street to be run over by the UPS trucks, or attached to an electrical outlet with lightning poles wrapped around them. When browsing for the perfect gift, pleace don't. It clogs the isles. Do not bring in baby carriages. Again, children under 12 are left at home so there should be no need for carriages.
Asking for items which are behind a locked case behind piles of heavy and large boxes and residing on the uppermost shelf only to look at the piece is strictly prohibited. No wishy-washy people are allowed to mull over which piece to buy in front of an open case while the employee waits. No wishy-washy people will be allowed into the store until they decide what they want to buy.
In fact, we, the clerks and sales associates of the world, ask you NOT to do any Christmas shopping. Instead please forward any requests, complaints, and grocery lists to 1 North Pole, NP PO Box 2 c/o E.L.V.E.S Inc.
There's nothing wrong with the old fashioned way.
Happy Groundhog's Day.

In other news I need Catie's cell number.
Went to see Les Mis last night and had a grand old time.
Only down side was the unexpected mile long walk in four inch heels from the parking garage to the theatre.
Had to work today and I never want to think about it again.
I'm submitting my Faerie Castle pic to the library tomorrow. *prays* I hope I win!
I have tomorrow off! *capers and thanks God*
Came up with two beautiful opening paragraphs for my new book.

Made a new icon, this time for Tarra!

Tra-la-la for more animation! Boo-hoo for it being too big for her buddy icon!
