Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

So this is just one more example of how I lose time. I was working on NaNoWriMo, really, I was. I’m also fighting with a really nasty cold that just won’t let go, Alison had a sleepover, and blah blah blah.
So what do I get caught up in? I started finally editing photos from November [...]

Now that we’re not so…uh…immersed in the ‘adult toy’ industry, we’ve got some stock to sell off, and I wondered if eBay would be a good place to do it.
The answer is ’sort of.’ It turns out they do have a Mature Audience section, but there are a bunch of restrictions, the biggest pains being [...]

One of our most wonderful customers, the Queen of the Wild Roses, leads a group of Red Hat Ladies, and I have to say that I have never, ever seen such a glorious group of women.
I love everything about this picture- the lovely table full of nibblies, the tire leaning against [...]

I took my notebook along to PirateCon; I was originally going to take the laptop and liveblog it, but I decided that wasn’t very piratey.
I knew from perusing the website that there were some really intense people involved in PyrateCon, but…oh, I just had no idea.

I was going to bow out, but talked to Charlie last night, and he’s pretty hardcore. Not only does he want to go to the parade, he wants me to go to the symposia as well.
I didn’t have too much of a problem blowing off work (Not like I’m going to fire myself, is [...]

So, I can hear you wondering, with parades, escaping birds and the other myriad bits of nonsense going on, do you ever get any work done?
 YES, nosy-pants, I actually do. ThatVixen is up to almost 2,500 products, thank you very much, and it has been most educational.
I have to say that my new venture has resulted [...]

This is how I feel- and my assistant even more so- after dealing with eBay.
They keep jacking up their rates while reducing the reasons to pay them. They’re so busy trying to keep buyers happy that they’ve forgotten that SELLERS are their customers as well- in fact, we’re the ones who pay them. And we [...]

I’ll tackle the title’s subjects in reverse order, all of which will explain why I’ve been a very bad blogger of late.

I’ve been spending a bunch of time doing random stuff all over the place, not least of which is assessing the damage of the winter. We had several cold cold cold days in a [...]

I recently had occasion to visit Mr. Binky’s, a full service (har har- get used to it. It’s impossible not to talk in double entendres, and I’ve long since stopped trying) adult store in the city, due to a request from a client.
I found myself in the position of needing to do some research in [...]

So, there are these two things I’ve been meaning to write about that are sort of related.
The first one is the thing that’s been keeping me so busy that I just haven’t had time to sit down and digest it all. It’s pretty over the top, but in a weirdly funny way.
The second (sorta related) [...]
