the multitudinous and multifarious leet skills of Teh Shop

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Just sold a local lady a pair of coral earrings and a silk scarver* that are serving as gifts from Mauritius, for friends, that she forgot to buy while she was there. In Mauritius.
Heh.

In other news - did I remember to turn off my headlights when I parked this morning?
Probability: 50%.
Hmm.
