ice ice baby


Ice Fest today here in the Big D.

Opened at about 7:45am... now it's 9am and no customers yet.
Sigh.
I at least need to make $20 for the pajamas I'm wearing (pajama sale in town today - get an extra discount if you're wearing your jammies!). And $60 for the newspaper ad. And $25 for the Chamber Of Commerce ad/brochure.
Not to mention other things like rent, insurance, loans, utilities, etc etc etc...

UPDATE: 3:30pm
Had a few busy hours with some decent sales.
At least I've covered the jammies & the two ads.
Let's just say Bessie shouldn't give up her day job to become a professional portrait photographer...

Aw, honey, I'm sorry you haven't had an customers yet.

Oh, and I'm sure you look marvelous in your jammies!

Can't wait to see you in your jammies, Mo! :)

Mr. Fabulous said...

People still wear pajamas?

Diamond Emerald-Eyes said...

I'm not sure that going out in the snow in pajamas is something that anyone would like to do?

Great Mews! I have given you a Caring Cat Award for being such a caring kitten!

I hope you get so busy ringing up sales that Bessie doesn't have time for pictures of you in your jammies. That's what I'm hoping. :)

Misty Dawn said...

Stay warm and safe Mo. I'll be sending good customer vibes for ya all day!

Can't wait to see the jammie pics ;-) But take the pic after closing time - like Sandee says, you're going to have customers coming any minute now and making it too busy for picture taking!

Make some tea and snuggle with Jazpur and Isis while you wait. People will come when the afternoon cabin fever sets in. :) I'm sure you're adorable in your jammies Mo!
Blessed Imbolc/Candlemas,
Lorianna

You in your PJs... You could use that picture in your next ad for your shop. Cheers!!

Matt-Man said...

Those are your pajamas? You look like a lumberjack. Where's Babe? Cheers!!

Palm Springs Savant said...

maybe next time the chamber of commerce should just do togas, everyone has sheets and would save money for not having to buy PJ's!

hope the weekend picks up for you.

crazy working mom said...

You look so snuggly. :)

At least she didn't cut your whole head off. ;)

Happy Saturday.

Being in business for yourself sure is tough these days. They say the economy is always bad during election year....or was that erection year?

Travis said...

I'm glad I started my blog rounds late so I could see a bit of good news about customers.

Hang in there! Tourist season is right around the corner.

Lois Grebowski said...

Typically slow time of year. Hang in there...

Lorianna said...

Well, at least you'll get some use out of the flannel pj's. Until what? May? (Sigh) I hate winter in MI. I'm glad the sales picked up. :)
Blessed Evening,
Lorianna

Mimi Lenox said...

You in your jammies....Matt in his suit...what is the world coming to.

Sophia said...

Nice Jammies!

Linda said...

Love the PJ's and at least Bessie didn't cut off your head or have anything strange sticking out of it in the background!

Hope that sales picked up after the update, too!

Kai said...

Love the jammies Mo, and glad to hear you had a profitable day :-)

Odat said...

Hope it picked up at the end of the day! Hey, I wore my jammies all day? Do I get a free pair?
;-)
Peace

Jamie said...

How could anyone resist buying something from a man so fashionably dressed?

Hey! At least Bessie got your entire head in the picture. You should see the photos that my mom takes!

I'm glad you ended up getting some decent sales. People just don't want to get out when it's so damn cold!

Janna said...

What a cute picture!
You look so happy!

Ultra cool sale, and you already have some great jammies on.

I looooove pajamas, I would have had a field day at that sale.
