whoa, now. giant picture on top of a giant picture? too much? see i don't know anything about style. i maybe shouldn't be ordering clothes for a shop?!

BUT

i totes am, especially since i got my business cards in today! i have 500 of them, actually 499 because i already gave one out to a reporter for the wellington newspaper, so get them while they're hot. they say my name on them and "store manager" and everything. bizarre.

today as i was journaling in an attempt to eat up a few minutes of my grueling eight hour days of near solitude, i noticed that the pen i was writing with was a Broyhill Furniture pen. here's what really got me thinking how tiny this whole world is: from what i understand, most of north carolina's furniture business moved to china within the past decade. and now that furniture pen is being used in new zealand by the daughter of a former employee whose bosses are chinese immigrants. and to top it all off, if i calculated correctly, dad hasn't worked for Broyhill since 2006? 2007? amazing that little pen even still works. the gods of globalization must be having an evil laugh right about now.

enjoying today, and enjoyed yesterday, so all signs point to an enjoyable tomorrow. grazie!

love,

maggie
