The excruciating pain of waiting

I am in a holding pattern so ridiculous it's scary. The Ellen DeGeneres Show had told us that we would hear back yes or no by the end of the week if our fabulous gift basket (SaraBear Basket, Woobee's & BabyLegs - awesome!) was going to be the audience give away for the Mothers Day Show (which btw airs this thursday). We haven't heard back yet and Friday has come and gone, but a handful of PR people tell me not to write it off yet. Apparently they could contact you as late as the day before the deadline so you spend enormous amounts of money on overnight shipping. What a nightmare!

We were forced to ship all the product to the BabyLegs fulfillment center, which is in California, just to be prepared in case we get the call. That's preparing and shipping product for 300 people just in frickin' case. It's crazy. The real issue for me is that I am unable to pursue any other large sales opportunities until this one exhausts itself. I need to have the inventory in stock to support the possible windfall of attention that Ellen could cause. Aaarrgghhh! My husband is getting a little tired of my neurotic behavior but not as tired of it as I am.

I gotta give a shout out to my PR girl Liz from 32FlavorsPR for getting Woobee into the May issue of Pregnancy & Newborn - yeah Liz!
