inally got all my holiday shopping done. I just have to pick up a gift certificate now.

Awhile back ago I was given a Janome serger by my friend, but it is lacking the power and foot cords. So... after days and days of getting ahold of Janome in 2 countries, I call the only distributor in Canada and have to call them back a couple times as their extension numbers have been changed and instead of putting you through on a transfer, they make you call back. I have now left 2 phone messages and left my email address. We shall see what happens. The US part of the company will not deal with me at all.

For some reason my woodstove is being obnoxious today, it has taken 2 hours to get much flamage from it. I finally got some sleep last night. I was too tired to work on the computer, so I settled down on the couch to watch a DVD and promptly fell asleep until "Teenager" got me some ice cream at 9pm, where i fell asleep again and woke up at 1 am to go to bed.

Got more of the Winter 2005 "Weekly Shopping List" issue printed up. It is now in its 4th printing. I still say if you only get one magazine, that you should get that one. It will save you money.

I got another nice email from someone the other day..

"Hi Tenzicut,
I must say, I'm VERY impressed!!!!  We've shared alot of yahoo groups thru
the years, and to be honest, when you first brought the magazine out, I
thought you were just trying the "get rich quick on the net" scheme! lol  I
saw tonight how very wrong I was (though it won't be the first or last time
lol). You have ALOT of very good and useful info in them. How much would it
cost me to catch up from #2 till now? - Pat in Kentucky"

I rather like getting fan mail. It keeps me focused on why I put the magazine out. On very frustrating and 'bummer' days, I sometimes read them to get a 'second wind' to go at it again. It is also nice to see we are getting 2,000 or more hits on the website a day and that alot of people are reading the blogs.  People are coming from all over the world... US, Canada, Euopean Union, New Zealand, Macedonia, Turrkey, Sri Lanka, the UK, Singapore, Estonia and Sweden this week. This is how the magazine is getting sent to 8 countries around the world now.. thanks guys!!
