Team Jake Shirt - Sixteen Candles

Hey, it made me giggle. Not a lot of time to write again today.  We just got back from the girls’ very first Girl Scout meeting.  Man, holding those three fingers up and doing that hand-hold-squeeze-the-next-hand thing sure brought back some memories.  Memories that were from a very, very long time ago.  So, they need to memorize the little Girl Scout thingie, and prepare yourselves…’cuz there will be nuts, magazines and cookies to sell ;-)

Don’t worry…I’ll set it up so you can pay me via paypal.  Easy peasy.

Have a great night!

BUT, I did just get an email from Zazzle abut a sale they’re having this weekend -get 17.76% off apparel if you enter code ZAZZLEUSAUSA.  Here’s the fine print they had:

17.76% discount applies to each qualifying Zazzle apparel product. The coupon code ZAZZLEUSAUSA must be entered during checkout to receive the offer. Offer is valid from July 2, 2009 at 12:01am PT through July 6, 2009 at 11:59pm PT. This offer does not apply to past purchases and may not be combined with any other Zazzle promotional or discount offers. Offer valid on Zazzle.com only and is not valid on Smilestore.com, Zazzle.ca, Zazzle.com.au or Zazzle.co.uk orders.

Not a bad little deal. Go order some shirts :)

Oh!  I almost forgot to share!  I won a signed and dated print from artist Tricia-Rennea.  So excited!  You can see where I entered on her blog. (click back there in the other sentence!).  I’ve always loved her style.  So, you can check out some of her stuff from Zazzle below:

Save four bucks on t shirts for Dad!  Use code TSHIRTFORDAD up until midnight pacific time tonight.  Nice to save some coin.  Here are some of my t shirts for dad:

There will be another code tomorrow!

Hey, everybody! Well, right now I’m in the middle of school being canceled, a morning of no electricity at the restaurant and a honkin’ messy house. But guess what? I got some good news on Monday night when I found out that I won a t-shirt design contest over at ashirtforeverything.com!!! You can see the post announcing that I won here, but I’ve also included a picture of my entry:

I was just tickled pink about winning! So, I get to judge the next contest (and pick the topic – which I have chosen, but Casey hasn’t announced it yet). Such fun! It brightened up this otherwise icy and miserable week!
]]> http://blog.brainlint.net/2009/01/heyi-won/feed/ 0 It was like workin’ in a sweatshop! http://blog.brainlint.net/2008/12/it-was-like-workin-in-a-sweatshop/ http://blog.brainlint.net/2008/12/it-was-like-workin-in-a-sweatshop/#comments Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:34:00 +0000 Heather http://blog.brainlint.net/?p=103 Well, let me tell you about the past two weeks in regards to my t shirt shops. CafePress added some dark sweatshirts and hoodies. I was (and still am) very excited about it. The dark hoodies sell well on Zazzle, and I know they’ll do well over at CP. I added them to my shops a couple of weeks ago. I have one, very large, job/occupation shop. I had to go in and tweak 2/3 of the designs I have for the sweatshirts. Then I added them to my other stores, Brainlintdotnet and PeaceLoveand( <--- that shop needs some love!). I worked on it whenever I could. At the mall when my kids were at the birthday parties. At home while they were watching a movie. After they went to bed and I stayed up until 1:30. Well, I'm finally done! Here are some of the sweatshirts:

Peace Love Candy Canes Hoodie (dark)


Off Duty Bitch Zip Hoodie (dark)


Bartender Barcode Zip Hoodie

So, now I can get back to adding all of my stuff on Zazzle. Which will definitely take me more than two weeks. Oh well, at least I’m never bored.

I think I may have a post coming up soon about the Onorato tax and the fact that they’re lowering it. I just need to have more than 10 minutes to myself to do it! Have a great Monday!

OH, I just edited this to add that this is my 100th post!!! Yeah for me!

Later on Friday night, I got an email from Zazzle, and here’s the graphic:
Well, I added the writing that says “Hey!  That’s my design!”  Anyway, that was a nice little surprise.  OH, and if you’re looking for aprons, they are $4 off at Zazzle if you use the code TURKEYAPRONS until November 25. (Just in case you can’t see the pic).
Look at that!  Two posts in 12 hours.  I’m getting there!

Really. http://blog.brainlint.net/2008/11/i-didnt-fall-asleep-really/ http://blog.brainlint.net/2008/11/i-didnt-fall-asleep-really/#comments Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:25:00 +0000 Heather http://blog.brainlint.net/?p=79 Well, let’s see.  Today is Saturday, and I said that I was going to write again on Thursday night, if I didn’t fall asleep.  Well, the bad news is that I didn’t write on Thursday (or, depending on whether or not you like to listen to my drivel – that might be the good news).  I did NOT, however, fall asleep with the girls.  I came downstairs and worked.  Yes, I worked and worked.  And not on restaurant stuff, either.  I worked on t shrits.  And it was fun.  I mada a couple of new designs, but this one is one of my not-so-famous quotes:





So, definitely not a wasted evening.  I stayed up until about 1:00 am.  The next night, however, is a different story.  Last night I didn’t fall asleep in bed with Becca.  Came downstairs all ready to watch some grown up tv.  Ten minutes later…asleep.  Oh well.  

We went to the book fair at the primary school on Friday morning.  The girls really enjoyed picking out some books (of course they wanted more than the 3 each I let them get!).  As Chloe and I were in the car on the way there, we had an extreme ‘Why?’ moment.  If you are the parent of a three year old, I’m sure you know what this is.  Every. Single. Answer. Gets. A. Why.
Here’s how the conversation basically went:

“Mom, can i feed Mackie (the fish) when we get home?”
“Sorry, Chlo.  I already fed Mackie today.”
“Why?”
“Um, because he was hungry”
“Why?”
“Because everything needs to eat.”
“Why?”
“Because if things don’t eat, they’ll die.”
“Why?”
(deep calming breath) “I don’t know Chlo.  Because.”

Then it gets funny.  Really, Chloe just cracks me up.

‘Mom, dead fish go in the potty.”
“Right, Chlo”
“But not alive fish.  You can’t put alive fish in the potty.”
“No, Chloe.  You can’t put alive fish in the potty.”
“Yeah, because then they would get pee on them.”
“Right, Chlo.  They would get pee on them.”

Well that satisfied her.  We drive along, bee-bopping to the radio and enjoying the sunshine.  A few minutes later, I get this question.

“Mom, Do fish pee in the water?”
“Well, yeah, Chloe.  Fish pee in the water.”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!”

So, there is some Chloe conversation for ya.

Since this post touched on sleep a little bit, I’m going to share this really interesting stuff about polyphasic sleep.  Polyphasic sleep basically is sleeping for 20 minutes every four hours.  And that’s it.  This gentleman actually slept this way for five months.  It was really interesting to read through how it went.  

OK, gotta snack before I go to bed!
