Argh.

So I got my first napkin order Sunday evening... that wasn't family, friend or friend of friend. You can imagine my excitement, I'm sure, as I mentioned in a previous post how frustrating it's getting. We've had over 300 page clicks and very few orders. If it weren't for my wonderful family or friends we'd have had none! So I got her napkins boxed up and ready to go... and mailed them out Monday morning. On Monday evening Shawn got an email saying the order had been cancelled. Shit. So now someone in Arizona is getting a box of free napkins. I'm not really sure what to do about this other than just hope my Karma is such that this lady will do the right thing and either send them back or pay me for them...

In other news... vacation is less than a week away and we sure need it! I am so excited I can hardly sleep at night. I haven't been to a beach (with water warm enough to swim in) since Tyler was 3 weeks old. He's almost 6 now. Clearly, it's long overdue!! I love the ocean and would vacation at a beach somewhere every year... but our entire family is 1000 miles away in Indiana. So when we DO get vacation time, and have the money to travel, it's important to go home to see our family. This year we are lucky enough to be able to vacation WITH our family as my sister, brother & parents are all meeting us there. The boys love their cousins - all 4 of them - and they all have a blast together. Hopefully it'll be really fun. I was hoping to swing over to New Orleans while we were there but it's 3.5 hours away and my family doesn't seem to be too psyched about a little road trip within a road trip... so that may not be happening. Maybe Shawn & I can sneak away on our own for a minute. :)
