i got 3 hoop orders today, after having just a trickle the last few weeks. is it the google adwords? warmer weather bringing all the hard-core hoopers out? who knows. what's crazy though is that one of the hoops someone ordered is one i don't even have on my site anymore! how is it possible that someone could have placed a paypal order for a hoop that i don't even have listed anywhere? freaky.

went to lowe's after work... a much better experience than the cluster-F last sunday. the place was almost empty. picked up some gorgeous flowers for my deck boxes -- phlox and 2 others that i don't remember the names of. one of them smelled awesome as i was driving home, woo-hoo! i can't wait to plant them, they're so pretty. and they're all perrennials, so after this i don't have to replant those darn boxes anymore.

i also discovered that something is resurrecting itself in the barren area that i'm having landscaped in a couple of weeks! it's either hydranges or hostas. whatever it is, everything i planted there completely died last summer, so i give the little buggers points for tenacity. now i just have to figure out where to re-plant them before the backhoes come.

Could s/he have ordered from a cached version of your site?

I was trying to show somebody the black/white/yellow checkered hoop I got from you and I noticed I couldn't find it on your site anymore. But I remembered I had the direct link stored in an old email (or maybe from when I ordered it?) so I just used that link and it worked. So that particular page still exists on your site, but it's just not linked to from anything else, which essentially hides it.

So it's possible that someone ordered a hoop that someone else sent them the link for.

Also: tax refunds might be why you're getting more orders.

Yay!
