You are only as good as your word

So you better make it count! I wrote a post about a great little shop, The Sky Ruby Project the other day. I got myself a whole new attitude about running this Etsy shop of ours. I also said as soon as I got another sale I was buying this cool bangle bracelet they had listed. Well, wouldn't you know, I got a sale! And so, a woman of my word, I just bought it! I am super excited, by the way!!!

But that's not what I am here to tell you about. Well, not all of it anyway. The other thing was the difficulty in keeping my word to the person I sold to. Who would have believed that when you allow 3 days to ship something, you would have a hard time? Sheesh. Suddenly, I was short handed at my full time job, leaving me alone all day for the past three days. For the past 2 of those three days, I was not able to leave before the post office closed. Today, I had someone scheduled to come in at 3:30, so at 3:31 I was in my car driving like a maniac to the post office.  I looked like a crazy race commercial, running into the post office, thinking I had only minutes to spare.

Funny thing about post offices. Apparently they stay open 'til 4:30. Good to know. But I got the package shipped. It cost me about $2.60 more than I had estimated. Good thing I had extra money with me. But now, I have sold, I have bought, run the good race, and now I am starving. It's dinner time! Have a great day!
