Sales Goal Reached!

  So today Mimi, Carina and I are going selling again around Langara Gardens. First I go out with on of my big sisters (a daughter of a family friend), her name is Sissi and she lives right next door to my aunt. She is going to university here, and she her home stay just happens to be right next door to my auntie. I don't see her often because she is so busy, but since it was Christmas break she had time and we went out for sushi. We were taking the 49th up to a sushi place on Victoria and we completely passed it. I mean I take the 49 everyday, but I don't know where Victoria place, apparently it is the street a little after or before DT, depending which way to are going. So we had to take the bus to the other direction to get back to Victoria. The sushi was awesome. My favourite sushi is the California roll, believe it or not no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find it in China. I had my first teriyaki (don't know if I spelled it right), I was never really interested in Japanese food, so I never actually ordered a real teriyaki in a Japanese restaurant.
  Later we stopped at a 99 cent store and I got a bunch of tape, glue sticks, and gift bags. I needed them for Christmas wrapping...
  I took the 49th again to Cambie and walked to Mimi's building. They were waiting for me in the lobby, and we went up to drop some of our stuff off in Mimi's house. Mimi made a whole new bunch of felt stuff and little  lucky bottles, and I brought all the hats I knitted.
  We went out to the town houses in Langara gardens. It was really cold outside, and Carina didn't bring her jacket. At first it was pretty discouraging, because a lot of people were not home. But then we started making lots and lots of money. The best was more than $10 at a time. Surprisingly I sold all of my hats. A lot of people even exclaimed on how I made the hats by myself. I wasn't expecting a lot of people to buy them honestly, I guess $7 dollars is really cheap for yarn hats...
  It just happens to be that today is winter solstice and it got dark really early. Me were kinda worried for our safety but was determined to sell everything. It got colder and darker, Carina and Mimi were both really really cold in the end, but we finally sold everything!!!
  We went back to Mimi's house and counted the money and we went on the company doc to record it. WOW! We made $374.81 in total! It was exactly past our goal which is $350.
  We have officially passed our goal. I have all the money and because there is a lot of change, I am planning to go to the bank to exchange them for whole money. I don't think I have time to go any time soon though.
  I wonder if we are the first company to reach our goal...
