A Moment of Insanity

As if I didn't have more than enough to do before Christmas, I just agreed to take on yet another custom order. I received notification of an Etsy purchase, and then the customer immediately emailed me to say that she had just purchased the white stocking, but could she have it knitted in red, with her husband's name added, and get it to California by Christmas?

I replied with a price quote that included a personalization fee, a rush order charge, and the postal service's charge for overnight shipping (for what I thought was a simply exorbitant total price) and her response was "Great! Can you make one with my name on it too?" And only a week before Christmas Eve! I surely must be nuts!
