The coffee's on me...


Well, at least, a fifth of the java is on me. This is one more reason why we are closing our warehouses: I received a check for .76 cents. I'm always sort of baffled by stuff like this. Really? You sold two units of Naughty Stories from A to Z, volume 4? Wow.

Luckily, I also received a check yesterday that is an advance for two new books. Insert big sigh of relief here. I can frame the .76 cent check and deposit the other (which includes the numbers 666, I might add).

One of my friends thought I was very amusing yesterday—talking much more about the wee tiny check than the larger check. Confession time: I spent way too long this morning trying to figure out what someone might buy for .76 cents. I mean, you can't even buy Pop Rocks! (They cost a buck.)

I have more in my hospital bill saga, but I will wait until the 1/5th of the joe kicks in.

XXX,
Alison

My mom got one of those once. It was for $0.49.

She laughed for days.
