Catch up!

Ugh, all my muscles are sore and tired. I think I've been too stiff too long to try and catch up now but I will honestly try.
So this post is going to have to be rather messy as a result of it's nature.
FIRSTLIES!
This was brought up a while ago by Ande. As we all know Ande is a huge business-lady and we still love her even though :P
So she wants to make a coffee shop, just hopefully not the Amsterdamian kind. Admittedly, I have entertained such thoughts myself: "Oh, you know what would be fun? To like have a little coffee shop where people can hang out." Now since then I have much changed this idea with a little touch of reality: "Oh, you know what would suck? To like have a little coffee shop where I have to pay shit-loads of taxes and deal with red-tape regulations and asshole people who demand free samples of everything and end up with a tiny amount of income at the end of the month if anything." I think me and Rali have both kind of seen this with both our jobs.
HOWEVERS!
This doesn't mean that I don't want to be involved in a coffee shop. Since working at the Paneria de la Corner (exotic! but not nude...) I've come to enjoy the service / cleaning / preparing work that is necessary in such a place. And I know Rali has come to like the same thing. So me and her were thinking that maybe what would be best for us is to not be involved in all the business of ... business but just the simple pleasures of good dirty work. Anyway, chat up on that Ande all you want.
Oh and on a final note for this section:
Vala mentioned me playing guitar on the streets to add to the overhead and I must say I am totally for it and will try my best to bring people and not send them away. I've been working on that so we'll see.
SECONDLIES!
The Christmas plans have been worked out it appears or at least have been simplified or something of the sorts. Rali told me all about them a little while ago but I figured I should at least put in my meagre two cents if only to procure a charitable laugh: I think the $5 per person thing is fine as long as people don't mind that I got Ande a gift for free that will look like it was a lot more than $5 a long time ago and I had it saved for Christmas.
ALSEW!
I think the $20 or so toward whatever charity it was mentioned is a very nice idea and I think we should pool a total and send it all in at once saying something about it coming from the SMKRs or something. Maybe. Or maybe that's a little silly.
HMMMMM!
I'm not sure if there's more that requires my attentions in word but we shall see! because now this post is left for you to complete!
