A little over two weeks now until I’m back in China.

Awww…..I know…and the weather these last couple days has been so fun and windy and all that.

I was looking for something to keep me busy during the holiday break and found a couple good projects. TiffanyCollector.com and blog.tiffanycollector.com. I know they look like the same thing but that just means more time was spend coding the looks to they synced up.

My dear sweet mother’s been having a simply amazing time dealing with ebay who decided to suspend her account for selling fake Tiffany (which, of course, she wasn’t) and then place listing limits on it. Because of the suspension, ebay says she doesn’t stand a chance of getting those limits lifted until Febuary. Turns out she isn’t the only one. Sellers of designer items all over ebay are going through the same mess. The work around is to open a new account, which sellers of fakes don’t mind doing, but that isn’t really isn’t an option for sellers of legit pieces who make their living on their good name.

Well….instead of sitting on her hands and merchandise until Feb, I set her up with an online store and a blog so she can keep listing and moving product.

Now that building’s done, step two: Marketing

The leaves changing, the frost in the air. Real soup and sandwiches weather, isn’t it?

And I’ve been taking proper advantage of it. Found a job to teach in China’s Jiangxi province this coming semester. Got another ticket after my fist attempt to flee the country failed (though the positive repercussions were greater than could have been imagined). I get to spend the holidays with my family and travel China during the holiday break over there. Since I’ll have about a month to travel around I’m hoping to see, at least, Guiyang and Yunnan before I start teaching.

Mike’s about fully moved to his new place, even has roommates lined up AND a cat. CollegeConfessional is returning about 200 hits a day on average and the viewer ship for MajorFashion is also on the rise after starting a marketing campaign through GoogleAdwords. 

That and some tooling around with cars and it’s been pretty low key.
