Homeroom Rain Boots Meet Blue Tulle

This gorgeous little princess is Ava, my good friend's daughter. Ava is all about couture and has done Carrie Bradshaw proud by matching her blue tulle fairy dress with her Western Chief Homeroom rain boots. Who knew tulle skirts and rubber boots were two good things that went so well together? Ava and Carrie of course.

The Dynamic Duo: DLL Rainwear & Amazon

DLL Rainwear has always sold our products on Amazon but in late December, we began using Amazon as our fulfillment vendor.

This means that Amazon warehouses and ships out orders on behalf of DLL Rainwear. So far, this new partnership has been a really great move for us.

We have a new website with a updated look and feel, we are able to accept more payment methods since all orders are processed through Amazon, we are better able to manage inventory and we have the support of a great team of Amazon employees.

The main disadvantage is that Amazon doesn't offer us the ability to ship product internationally to our customers. We are hopeful that Amazon will open up international shipping to their vendors in the near future so we can once again have people worldwide Puddle Stomping in Style.

The Drought is Over

I don't mean the California drought although hopefully that is the case but rather the severe, unacceptable lack of my blogging for the past six months. Oh how I have let my DLL fans down. Sorry 'bout that. Won't happen again.

And now, let the blogging begin.

Buckle up and brace yourselves. It's gonna be a wild ride.

Sarcasm Rules

As anyone who knows me will attest, I am nothing if not sarcastic and snarky. Some might say smart-ass but let's keep it civil, shall we?



To show my sarcastic spirit, I might just have to break down and buy a bit o' this super funny flair. Here are just a few of my favs from Beanforest's Etsy store. Hope they give you a giggle.

(Now is the time to pretend you see bright, colorful photos, remember?)

Spell Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

If only I could defrag my brain and soft reset my body.

If my feet have taught me anything, its that a little callousness is a good thing.

Mispronounciated Words

The other day I was part of a discussion about commonly mispronounced words.


A few of my favorites are:

1. supposubly (A favorite of Joey Tribiani of "Friends" but should be supposedly)

2. incidences (incidence--already plural, thank you)

3. orientated or disorientated (You are probably quite disoriented if you say disorientated)

And of course, there is a website listing all of the mispronounced words.



Here are a few favs I found on said informative website:



1. doggy dog world instead of dog eat dog world (although it does seem like it is a doggy dog world what with all of those pampered pets around)



2. Heinekein remover instead of Heimlich maneuver (this one made me laugh out loud. People seriously say that?)



3. Carpool Tunnel Syndrome instead of carpal tunnel syndrome (again...so funny but I can see how it could happen...especially if you carpool through a lot of tunnels)





And here are a few I am guilty of:



1. spitting image instead of spit and image (didn't know that!)



2. persnickety instead of pernickety (again--who knew? In fact, spell checker doesn't even like pernickety.)

Ice Cream Float Cup

How awesome is this?

A special plastic cup you can fill with ice cream and then attach to your soda bottle for instant root beer float. Or Purple Cow. Or whatever floats (ha ha ha) your boat.

Always just the right amount of ice cream to soda.

And portable.

Who could ask for anything more??
