Okay, deep breath in....Here we go.
It seems like forever ago that I've posted anything. That's because it has been forever ago! It all started about a month ago when I caught our little one practicing her "jump, wiggle, jump" skills on top of the lap top. My heart sank! All I could see was dollar signs adding up.
I politely let her know that jumping on the computer is not something we do. From then on, the screen would intermittently work. Then one day a few weeks ago it just bit the dust. What a sad sad day.
Imagine having to run your life off of your phone...not fun. We took it to our computer guy and he has gotten it to work for the time being until we get a new screen shipped in.
Lesson learned: Don't leave your laptop on the floor if you have little feet running around, especially when Sesame Street is playing!
Moving on to more not so great news. Remember the News on 6 interview I did? Thanks to the snow storm our story got pushed to the side. Someone in the studio accidentally deleted the interview footage in order to make more space in the system for their snow stories.
And last but not least of the bad news: The whole Whistler Advertising billboard deal fell through. Things looked good, then all of a sudden they decided they weren't going to extend the offer anymore.
The money that we raised for that project will be applied towards one of 2 other projects we are working on.
The good news: We are currently working out a deal with Lamar Outdoor Advertising. They are one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the country. The other deal we're working on is with a local independent decal/graphics company. The plan would be to spice the van up like no one has ever seen.
Both projects are going to cost some money. It comes down to whether or not we want to spend a lot of money on something that will only last 30 days, (the Lamar sign) or on something that we can drive around that will last forever (The Trade Mobile). The van has gotten a lot of attention because of it's crazy colors. We should hopefully find out something within a week or so.
