Yesterday (Thursday) was the big push to get the new Bead Factory up and running and in all good working order. Quite the jorb! In the midafternoon Carrie called me out for a coffee run.
I took a pad & pen and wrote down what everybody wanted from Starbucks, with the idea being that I would walk up there (it being two blocks away) and pick it all up, then bring it back. The results were enthusiastic when I asked people if I could bring them anything from Starbucks ("I'll love you forever" as Brandy said). Well, around the 11th drink order I realized, "Geez, am I gwine be able t'carry all dis?"
The answer: No.
So Carrie had to come with. We drove instead of walked because it was imperative that Carrie be away from the store for as little time as possible. When we got back the only parking place open was a handicap place, so I pulled in with the intention of running the coffee in and then pulling right out. However, as soon as I stepped out of the car a REAL handicapped person appeared in a van, so I had to put the coffee down on the ground and skeedadle out of there, leaving Carrie to lug it all inside.
Later that evening I made myself some cheddar potato soup and settled down to watch Smackdown! on UPN. I totally marked out when one of the Bashams used the Michinoku Driver. If I were ever a wrestler, I'd somehow get a hold of Taka Michinoku and ask permission to use the Michinoku Driver as my finisher. I don't know why—it's not a very spectacular move (just a sit-down scoop slam). I just love it do deeeth. I marked out for it more than the return of Paul Heyman or the return of Rikishi/Scotty or Undertaker defeating Brock and Show four times in a row. Rhyming is fun!
After Smackdown! was over and Carrie still wasn't home, I called her up and she told me they still had many fremen warriors, I mean hours left to go. I wondered if I could do anything for them, and she suggested maybe bringing donuts? Nuts made out of dough?
Well, I did some updating on the website, then drove out towards Tacoma Mall and the open-all-night Krispy Kreme there. Two dozen donuts and 12 bucks later I was on my way back to The Bead Factory with a donut in my mouth. Everyone was getty pretty punchy, which isn't surprising seeing as how it was like 11:30 at night by this time and most of them had been there since 9:30 or so in the morning.
I dinked around on this here internet for a while after I dropped of the donuts, then eventually went to bed during Conan. Carrie didn't come home until almost 1:30 or something crazy like that. But this morning is the Grand Opening of the New Store Location, so it had to be done.
