Oy vey. What a week.

So after working a stressful week we realized the new mugs weren't listed. I literally raced home after work to get this week's batch up in time. Katie didn't want to list a banana, as we are almost out again, and told me this as I was mid-listing. Meanwhile eBay has just changed their listing interface and I'm struggling to get used to it. Sooo somehow the banana got listed all willy-nilly at an odd time and with the wrong picture. GAH!

I noticed this the next morning only after noticing that my laptop wasn't charging and had about 25% battery power left. I backed all of my important stuff up just in time to say goodnight to the thing. So now it's in the shop. The morning after that, I become sick with flu and cold and sore throat and body and gaaah!!!

That's the long version of why I'm only getting around to announcing the listings today, on a strange and unfamiliar computer (A PC!) with my nose still burning like fire...

Fred #26 leads the pack!

He's a real classic brown on brown on brown restaurant-ish Fred. For those who might not be liking all the craziness that Fred has been going through...

Banana #9 BUTTTS his head in here. (OOOOOOOPS!!!)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190079138394&rd=1&rd=1
So that there is a picture of the real #9. Almost identical to #5. This is the last of the shiny-meat bananas. Soooo sorry for all of the confusion. Maybe it will all help someone pick one up for a lower price (don't tell Katie I said that).

Pina #47

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190079134015&rd=1&rd=1
Back to basics for the next three Pinas, then a razzberry Pina, then it's all over.

Coco #32

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190079136177&rd=1&rd=1
Katie luuuuvs this brown on Coco. So much that THIS IS IT! All of the rest will be like this, with variations on the rim, eyes, etc, of course. So those of you that have early # Cocos with wacky shell colorings are in luck. No matter how garish your Coco may look, you can take comfort in it's rarity.

Xeno #27

This guy looks like something that might stare back at you out of an old, broken CPU.

All right. That's it once again. I've used this down-time to schedule the next two weeks worth of mugs. We'll be potassium deficient, as there are no bananas ready for market and our work schedules have been hectic lately.

Oh, and I've also taken this time to give all y'all your much deserved feedback. Sorry for the delay.

Now I've finished my juice and am going back to bed.
