Jigsaw Java IS a store to buy jigsaw puzzles

The phone rang. I answered "Jigsaw Java." The woman said, "I know this is a stupid question but do you sell jigsaw puzzles?" "Yes, we do," I answered. In the background her daughter was giving her a hard time saying "of course they sell jigsaw puzzles." This group had come all the way from Pacifica because they couldn't find what they wanted any closer to them. What we don't sell is ...

Jigsaw Puzzle Purists don't use the picture on the box
By malbitz on 11/27/2009 8:13 PM
Did you know that pictures of puzzle were not put on the boxes until 1933? Jigsaw Puzzle purists know this fact so they either don't look at the picture, if there is a picture or they do look, but only sparingly. For more info on old time puzzles, read on...

So blogs are supposed to be written consistently...?
By malbitz on 10/13/2009 7:38 PM
So I've heard a few times recently that you should blog on a consistent schedule so when people are reading your blog, they know when to expect new content. Well folks, I'm just not that consistent, so I wonder how much will that hurt me.

What do you do when you are stuck on Caltrain in or near Redwood City?
By malbitz on 9/24/2009 5:25 PM
What do you do when you are stuck on Caltrain in Redwood City due to an accident? You get off the train and walk (or take the bus) to Jigsaw Java and work on a puzzle to calm yourself down from the stress. Then you realize what a great place Jigsaw Java is and so you then decide to buy a monthly membership so you can come in an puzzle any time Jigsaw Java is open. Then you find out all of the benefits of monthly membership and then ....

I almost lost the Missing Piece to my Peace of Mind
By malbitz on 8/20/2009 5:42 PM

How I almost lost the Missing Piece to my Peace of Mind:

1) Downward Spiral - Arrived at Jigsaw Java yesterday morning, feeling stressed and realized that I have not been very happy or having that much fun in all that I have been doing recently.

2) Remembered that I am the only person who can make me happy, so I stopped the downward spiral right away and started doing things that make me happy: arranging flowers that my husband grows for me; getting a cup of French Vanilla coffee, had very pleasant conversations with a few people; the next thing you know, customers starting coming in to the store starting with a 10 year old girl who's dream is to work in a jigsaw puzzle store when she grows up. How cool is that?

End result: I am truly happy today and will focus on being happy and having more fun in the future.
