Bertha's Rollercoaster Ride

My friend just called me from Universal Studios and it made me think of Modern Mermaids' unbelievable ride since we started this "Green Company". Although we love it (whew) it's every bit the stomach churning, dizzying, rock your world effect that The Hulk puts you through up in Orlando. Sometimes when I look at our little Bertha staring out from a label it's as if she's saying "Oh, Amy and Audra, just what have you gotten us into." Our answer to that.....throw enough s.....against the wall and something's gotta stick!



So that's what we do. I told Amy that if she creates one more product I'm going to go crazy! It's that Aries thing, I guess as today I walk in our office and she says, " I killed a bunch of ants with our ..... gotta bottle it and sell it! " Well, as we now have our eco-friendly natural cleaning line, a line for kids, dish soap, natural air fresheners, veggie wash and coming soon a marine line...I cannot imagine one more thing. But she'll make it happen, always does with or without my consent.



Right now she is in Hungarian slave mode as she cleans one of her rental properties and this is a big part of why we started Modern Mermaids. She used to get eye irritations and headaches from chemicals (oh, evil toxic chemicals) and wanted to know what I could help her make. We've certainly made "stuff". Stuff for your windows, stuff for your toilets, stuff for your air, stuff to wash your dog (another story) and stuff, stuff and more stuff (I am never using that word again, by the way). And so all this s..... kept us on an incredible ride up and down, looping and screaming and Bertha smirks as we make our first Cape Codder (vodka and cranberry) and toast her and still here we are, rollercoaster and all.
