Girls, I have a completely brilliant idea.
Bug is a 12 year old girl who does not like to do school work and does not like to do chores.
“I would rather do something productive with my life! I need MONEY, not stupid schoolwork assignments.”
Like most girls her age, Bug wanted money for Hannah Montana posters, Jonas Brothers’ tshirts and gum.
But alas, Bug was too young to work at a fast food restaurant, not ready to babysit on her own, and lacked a degree in chemical engineering.
“Well, Bug,” her mother said. “You will just need to think of some other way to make money.”
“I know! I could win America’s Next Top Model!”
“Um..no.”
“I could go on tour with the Pussycat Dolls!”
“NO.”
“I could skip the rest of elementary, middle and high school and finish my degree in chemical engineering?”
“Probably not.”
“Well, you know how everyone always compliments Snowbaby on her legwarmers? What if we made more of them? And we set up a little online store where people could buy them? And I could help you for some of the money, BUT only after I finished all my lessons and my chores?”
“Hey..that’s not a bad idea..”
“And maybe we could mention it on your own blog and someone would want some!!”
“Maybe……”
(To be continued)

I know some little girls who might be interested in some legwarmers from someone who is doing her lessons. I sure hope she decides to start that little business in her extra time.

What you want… Buggy, what you want is cash!
Ahem. H, for the record, now has a Build-a-Bear poodle (with a karate outfit) named Bruiser. She was angsting over the name at the stupid little computer, and I suggested, “What about Bruiser, like Elle Woods’ dog?”, and she just went crazy with joy. It was hysterical.
Seriously, though, that’s a good idea.
Should, say, legwarmers for bigger kids than Snowbaby be available, and should they be pink, that would probably get H’s attention.

Did she really come up with that idea on her own?! You might just have a little entrepreneur on your hands!!

Jess, Bug happens to be working on a pink sparkley pair right now that would be perfect for a kid bigger than Snowbaby, and has a similiar appearance to say….the dress LBB wears at the curtain call. Just so you know.
P.S. I love the Bruiser doll. We have a Build a Bear named pancake.

Oh, WOW. I wasn’t even hoping for pink AND sparkley. I definitely want to check these out.
I can’t wait until Legally Blonde goes on tour.
March 5th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Me either. And these will be great for H. if I don’t keep them for myself. LOL.

Hahah! The Dao could have a pair he wears around with his slippers, sweater and bare butt when his mama wants him to poop… in his potty, and not in his pants ( yes, he AGAIN sat ON the potty, WEARING his pants. Yes, poop in the pullups… well at least he was SITTING on the potty! LOL!). So, he’s 2 yrs old and has legs about 10″ long in total, and wears a lot of red and blue. ;D Gotta encourage all that schoolwork and chores!

You’re a complete genius!

Sign me up! My BFF LOVES leg warmers, so better make some in ladies’ sizes too!
March 5th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Sounds like great homework incentive!!
I’ve got two should-be-nieces that are in dance and love leg warmers.

Have you ever heard of etsy(dot)com? It is an online store for people who love to make/buy/sell handmade items!! Maybe you could check it out - I think it is free.

I have such a big smile on my face. PROUD of you, again, BUG! Super wonderful idea!!
I would be interested in two pairs for a 10 year old girl who has been dancing since age 3…..purple jumps to mind….
Keep us informed, but STUDIES first, Princess, studies first.
