Life is so super hard except when it’s easy — the abridged version…

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

Times have been strange since my last entry. 

We aren't moving to NYC. 
My Tweety espresso maker was crap so I returned it to the store. 
Our landlord had a bug you know where so he raised our rent. 
Something went array with the wholesale order I sent out last week

and Auggie got into an airtight canister and poured about $7 worth of newly ground espresso beans into his mouth, all over his head, in his walker and onto the floor. Can't blame him really. It was super good espresso and smelled like a dream come true. I wasn't mad, I was impressed really. The canister it was in snapped down on 4 sides — he must love coffee as much as his momma;)

A few other annoying things happened that I won't go into detail about in cyberspace, but lets just say that this week could have been like 10 million times better. 

But because of my ever positive husband and his wise words, I have picked myself back up and things are actually looking way better than they were before all these messes happened. Dan and I are totally liquidating massive amounts of material possessions that we just don't need. Tomorrow we are having a huge garage sale and after I listed it on Craigslist I actually pre-sold a lot of the items.  I will let you know tomorrow if getting rid things that I do like, but don't need, is as freeing as I think it will be. 

And the very most exciting thing is that we ordered new labels for Mimi Green– they are woven just like they are for human designer duds! Finally, we found a factory that will run small batches and is located in the U.S. (which is another blog entry all together, I am totally disgusted with the amount of outsourcing we as a county have forced ourselves into– I totally refuse to do it) 
They will arrive in 2 weeks and I can't wait! 

Here's to next week. Let the delicious coffee be made correctly on the stove in a coffee maker that is awesome, and the frustrations of my husband finding a job subside, and let the good times roll:)

    Good for you on finding labels made in the US. Buy local (unless you’re really desparate). That’s what I say. 🙂
    I’m curious, did you pick those expensive grounds up & make coffee?
