Craft Fairs give me a headache

It's official. *ow*

the bed this morning was perfect. Perfect temperature, perfect light...just perfect.  I so didn't want to get up. But there were many things to get done today...

the girl was out the door early-ish- meeting with another group to give them advice (at their request) on how to get a zine off the ground - there's will be specific to the topic of sex, with the hopes of offering pre-teens and teens information that they are missing in their inadequate health classes, etc.

The VHM and I had some coffee while we discussed the ever present -- looming -- bizbaz.  Hoping to deter me from once again ranting about not knowing how big the space was that we had to set up in; he suggested we go to the Arts Center and "pace it off."  

 I did call Dad before we left,

Dad Report: He seemed in good spirits - said it was a sunny day out.  We talked about the impending BizBaz - and that meant going over the Taterpickle Papers and cards again.  It was a bit shorter of a conversation, but my sister and HB would be there at noonish - so I didn't feel too bad over keeping the call short.

It was a glorious morning out --


We paced off the room in which our "booth" would be -- and realized that it was going to be very tight -- that we really did only get space for our table and room to stand behind it.  Boo.

We had to hurry back - the girl and her girl-buddy were off to the movies [the girl was being a very good friend to her girl-buddy and allowing her to drag her to the twilight movie, a movie that the girl was a bit mortified to be seen going to...].  The VHM was off to Home Depot to get materials for:

1. modifying the red rack for my cards and the girl's smaller screen prints
2. building some sort of "no space used" display of the girl's photo samples

The Red Rack - ooooooo!


I spent most of the day doing laundry and accounting for Taterpickle Papers - getting the numbers sorted for sales made and setting prices for BizBaz.  The VHM had the idea if I took a good inventory prior; and then after - I wouldn't have to keep track of individual sales...I will probably still try to keep track, but its a good idea. 

I can't tell you how pleased I am to see another Muppets Movie.  They are on SNL tonight. This also makes me happy. 

Random Photo of the Day:

My friend's boy - he's a pip.















Fears & Anxieties:  Apparently when I am stressed I like to cook.  I made some lists and usually that helps me -- but frankly it really just makes me queasy thinking about having to interact with all these people that will be at Bizbaz...it's not that I can't do it or won't do - or even that I won't be successful at it - merely that the act of it will make me crazy anxious.
