How is the RUSH of December going? Parties, food, parties, presents, parties, food. Basically we are all tired, fat, and broke. Do I have this right?
Over here at the studio we are doing amazing, as always. NH Chronicle surprised us and replayed our video, wow could life get any better?

Certainly can't argue with free publicity! Helps pay our massive propane bill! Thanks NH Chronicle!
So pumpkin season was a huge success. Now that its time for holiday related glass - wait, there is no time.
OK Dom. Now you know. I know its hot in the summer, but you just have to suck it up and make those damn snowmen. THERE IS NO TIME NOW!
No seriously, the summer is so hot and slow that it is hard to stay focused. If I were to spend the summer making anything and everything to fill up the shelves, I would be in good shape right now. Remind me of this this upcoming summer. Dom, the winter is busy. Do it now while you have time!!!
My status now? Working 6 days a week, 8-12 hours a day, and still sneaking in on Tuesdays to catch up. Tuesday you say? Yes! Tuesday! That is my day, my "Sunday" per say.
Sunday? Yes, Sunday. I can stay up late on Monday and sleep late on Tuesday. I cannot stay up late on Tuesday though, because here comes Wednesday!
Do you get it? Friday and Saturday all of you regular Monday-Friday 9-5 boring folks go out.
"Wooo TGIF"
The "Friday" thing isn't happening to me, I simply just get a "Sunday".
Wah, poor, poor Dom. Working her butt off and living the dream. Ya'll can keep your boring Monday-Friday 9-5, I'm sticking with this.
By the way, small rant off a positive topic. If the complainers of the fact that we are closed to the public Monday and Tuesday are reading this, WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM - A ROBOT!?
No really, the weekends are our busiest time, so we are open on the weekends. Why on earth do you feel the need to go to our neighbors in the building and complain about the fact that I need a bit of a life!?! No - I cannot afford to pay someone to sit around on our two slowest days of the week, just because you wish to browse. At this time, I refuse to squish that into our new small-business budget.
OK, OK. No more negativity Dom. Back to a positive note. As you may know, or may not know, I am on the Board for Team Jaffrey. I have taken over the responsibility for running the Facebook page. Overall, I am finding it to be a wonderful experience! It is forcing me to become aware of all that is happening within downtown Jaffrey!
I had no idea Jaffrey had such amazing traditions such as lighting the Christmas Tree on the Common as an event. Wonderful! The Jaffrey Public Library read a book to all of the children. Santa flew into the Jaffrey Airport and the Jaffrey Fire Department zoomed him in for the lighting and photo opp's. The more I learn and become involved in, the more I want to do.
Did I mention that through this whole event, it was pouring rain and freezing cold? That didn't bring anybody's spirits down!
