busy..

this week with a backlog of orders, inane taxes, broken printers and such...so not much chance to update the blog. Things are definitely on the upswing, and today a blissful day off from the library, (since I'm working on Sunday), and I'll be getting everything out hopefully. I have finally, amazingly figured out the taxes yesterday, and will be ordering a new laser printer next week (poor thing just wore out I think, along with my booklet stapler, which I've already replaced with a sleek new long arm number.) Otherwise, I am just muddling through this week, working on the bath goodies. My apartment smells like oranges, the studio like green tea and lavender. I also ordered a new tabletop rack for chapbooks in the studio, since I keep shoving too many in the spinning one and they all fall on the floor everytime I spin it. Plus, I'll be better able to see what needs restocking. We will be having an open studio event in a couple weeks, so I'm trying to tame the chaos and make everything a little more browser friendly. Yesterday was a weird weather day, with alot of fog and ghostly trees with a single bright bunch of balloons caught in their mist.

PS. The newest chaps will be up as soon as I fix the printer issue. I had a few printed for AWP, but can't print anymore until I get the new printer, so am holding off on getting up the webpages. Also author copies are on their way out, as we speak....)
