To the Hubs (and anyone else who has NOT seen Grey’s Anatomy yet…Go elsewhere and find something else to do! Do not read any further or it will spoil the season finale.

My Whoops for the week:
I was accidentally in the wrong database and accidentally deleted product pictures on our retail website. I hope to have these back up by the end of the weekend.

Movie
I’m pretty sure the new The Day The Earth Stood Still movie is now on Verizon Fios On Demand. If it is I’m going to use the handy dandy On Demand button and watch it this weekend.

Reading:
Online Reading – Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo (interesting in a morbid sort of way)
Book Reading – Lost by Michael Robotham (on page 50, so far so good)

Drinks:
While I’m an admitted coffee addict I also love Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade..especially when it’s hot outside. It is supposed to be in the 70′s this weekend (could we even hit 75????) so I’m going to try to make my own tea using their Passion Tea, Basic Syrup and Lemonade (from the store). I will let you know how that works out!

Price Increase:
I went over our current product pricing and ended up pretty much ok on everything except the Essentials soap and the Umoja soap. Due to the horrendous price increase of the raw ingredients (essential oils/blends, fair trade ingredients) we had to increase the price of these two collections….alot. When (if) the ingredient price drops we will reduce the product accordingly….however, Patchouli essential oil still seems to be running at higher than normal pricing.

Lotion:
Our lotion is fluid enough that it also works great for massages!

Rant of the Week:
GEORGE IS DEAD!
Let me say that again…
GEORGE IS DEAD!
Shonda killed him and I don’t know if I will ever forgive her for that.

We all knew (or at least heard gossip) that Katherine Heigl was leaving Grey’s Anatomy…and giving her an incurable cancer was an acceptable ending.

But to KILL GEORGE?
I just can’t accept it.
Why not let George go to Iraq and be the best, brave and honorable trauma surgeon that he could possibly be? Why did you have to kill him?

This morning I felt empty and cheated. I have known these people for how many years now and I didn’t have a clue that George was going to die. Again, we all heard rumors that T.R. Knight was leaving the show and having him sign up for duty over in Iraq was the perfect out for him. It was honorable and would give him a chance to come back in guest appearances.

But no….
You had to kill him.

But Wait…..
Are they really dead?
Is it possible that next season they will be brought back from ‘the light’?
Will Izzy tell George it’s not time yet…he has more to do in this world and to go back?
Will George tell Izzy just how much he loves her and he knows she will make a fine surgeon and wife for Alex and this is not her time?

I’m upset that they left everything to the last minute…I’m talking like the last 3 minutes of the entire show. I’m upset that I have to wait the ENTIRE SUMMER for next season to see if George and Izzy are gone for good.

I hope not.
