Karen and I spent our last working day in Tucson on Saturday shipping out the rest of our purchases. I am officially now a veteran at packing boxes out of the trunk of a car. (Notice my tan *smile*) (It was 70 degrees out!) It went fairly smooth. We prayed while we were in line with our boxes that we wouldn't get Mr. Grumpy behind the counter. If it was our turn and he was to serve us, we planned on letting someone go behind us. Mr. Grumpy would remind you of Fonzie from Happy Days. His hair was stuck back in the 70's and we are sure he hasn't cracked a smile since then either.
The rest of the day we hung out at the condo packing our suitcases, picking things us and creating. It was our goal to get some proto-types for the Untapped Potential line created. We struggled but made it happen. We watched I Love Lucy re-runs while we worked and I was laughing so hard that I could barely talk when my daughter called.
Karen and I had a date to go out to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, one of my favorites in Tucson. They didn't let me down. I love their seafood enchiladas. We were entertained by a young college student doing balloon art and the dancing of the waiters. We shared a sinful dessert and headed back to work.
On Sunday morning the alarm was set for 4:00 a.m. I woke at 3:15 worried that I missed the alarm. It was a very, very early morning. We left the condo at 5:00. It took 30 minutes to get to the airport. We had to check both of us in and return the rental. So sorry to have to say goodbye to the coolest of cars, the Ford Mustang. We spent the rest of the day doing the airport hop. The hurry up and wait game. That's when it is so much fun watching people.
The closer we got to home, the colder it got. What a rude awakening to get off the plane in Lincoln with temperatures in the teens.
Monday wasn't just a typical back-to-work Monday for Karen and I. We put five Mondays into one. Ever have those days? I spent Tuesday and Wednesday organizing our boxes of treasures as they arrived from Tucson. Now, the fun begins. We need to sort, sort, sort. What goes to Karen's, what goes to Kyla's and what stays here. I took enough of the UP line inventory home to create the proto-types. Then we'll have our new staff create them here at the office.
Next week Karen, Janice and I will all be in the office together. It will be good to have us all together so we can start planning on the next steps to get the UP line up and running.
Tootles for now, Kyla
