Writer Thy Name is Lazy....

 

I'd like to thank those of you who wrote with congratulations about the Newsday article written about the cancer section of my store. Being contacted by a reporter for a well-known publication (who is surviving the illness herself) who thought the strong and witty theme of my products was inspiring and wanted to write about it was just...one of the neatest things in my life. The amazing response to that article (along with the surprising holiday crush of customers for the rest of the store's products) has certainly contributed to my absence. I've missed you all, but when you only make a couple of dollars profit on each product (none on the cancer prods...ALL those profits are donated to research) and you end up making four figures in one month? Dooooood. You have to give the customers their due, right? Right.

So...before getting to the entry, let me take a moment to tell you about some new things that may interest you!

I've created a whole section on ANTI-Valentine's Day products HERE. A few examples:

missing sensitivity chip (if found, please call 555-piss-off-I'm-fine-the-way-I-am)

It's 'cause I'm dead inside

You Can't Afford Me

Fuck Valentine's Day (with a smiley face and spirit fingers!)

and Fuck Valentine's Day (text only...cause I'm all about choices, yo!)

Screw Love and Fuck Cupid

And some funny and unique words printed on candy hearts

I've no doubt that the Speak English and No Hablo Espanol products will piss some people off, but I just wouldn't be the Gracie You Love to Hate if I weren't being obnoxious, now would I??

There are also an assortment of other snarky new items such as:

Naomi hit me too

This space for rent

Duh!

Just Damn

I Don't Have A.D.D., I'm perfectly focu...ooOOOoo! Shiny!

STFU

You're Being Glib, Matt (and plain "You're Being Glib" products, without the "matt" distinction) And my newest set, which perhaps I should invest in for mySELF?? Are the "Mean Grrl" products. I'll be editing those over the weekend (along with some others) since the dark shirt preview doesn't show them very well, despite the printing being fine.

Also, I've ordered several products from the store to give as gifts and have been incredibly impressed with the quality. They make most of the products themselves and they are committed to quality. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, you can track your orders, can ship overseas, and you can order by phone, as well. Their customer service is fantastic. All that info is at the bottom of each page at the store. Oh, and check back often as they're constantly adding new products (and I'm constantly adding new designs/sayings) and they plan to offer lots more plus-size clothing before next fall (among other things).

*****************************************************************

I also added a slew of Just Quit Smoking products because...yep, that's right: we quit smoking (again). I'm pretty confident this time, as it's been just under a month since I've had a smoke and I'm not trying to find ways to sneak smokes (not that I EVER did that before, of course). I still want to smoke sometimes, but those cravings are happening less and less often. Of course, I've chewed every straw in an 8-mile radius and am currently keeping Bubble Yum in business, but hey...whatever works, right?

Oh, and also? WHO knew that food had TASTE?? George and I tried to eat some spicy food last week and nearly self-combusted from the pain. WOW.

*****************************************************************

Finally, this is going to be a short entry since it's very late and I have to work in the morning, but also because you're going to get another entry tomorrow night (Friday) which should be pretty cool.

I've been invited to the press box at Philip's Arena to do a real-time 'blog' about the Thrashers vs. Islanders game on Friday (1/26). How cool is that?? Very, I tell ya! I'll have a wireless connection up there, so I'll be posting throughout the game, trying my level best not to sound as giddy n' excited as I am. I'll also try to remember from my last stint in the press box that it is NOT cool to wear all your fan gear and definitely not cool to be seen cheering your team and cursing the other. Soooo ruins the non-biased reporting vibe, don'tchaknow. Yeah, Gracie's lessons are so hard, aren't they?

Oh, and also...after the game I will be meeting with Coach Hartley and the team for a press conference and I will report on THAT ...I don't know when. Probably after my heart returns to a normal beat and I come back down to earth from the excitement! Or, you know, 11:00 p.m.

Anyway, check back here Friday night around 7:00 EST for my on-the-fly reports! woot!

And, in celebration thereof, why not purchase a Hockey Chick product?? (Yeah, I'm a pimp...so what??)

Wonders never cease, eh??]
