I am wrist-deep in melancholy this morning, so I am attempting to cheer myself up by doing nice things for other people. I won’t get to see first-hand how this pans out, but the knowing is good and apparently also half the battle so at least there’s that.
I don’t really have much of a reason to be so down: things are pretty good. There’s a whole laundry list of weekend awesome that I shall now spell out for you because I’m sure it is more interesting than whatever you’re supposed to be doing:
- Salome was fantastically creepy and funny and disturbing
- Opera boobies! Nudity is awesome.
- Opera codpieces! The executioner was pure near-naked muscleman eye candy.
- Delicious post-opera meatballs!
- Ali and River drove up from Seattle on Sunday to visit us at Got Craft!
- Heather brought us CANDY!
- Fun people came by the craft show to visit us
- People were seemed to enjoy my Purl Necklaces
- I had fun watching the faces of people who read my signage; a few of them smirked or laughed to themselves so I know they got the joke
- Ed gets home tonight
See? Many good things. So what do I have to be bummed out about?
- People *enjoyed* my crafty things, but that didn’t translate to many sales at all
- I got caught in another downpour on my way home
- I was planning on ordering Thai food to cheer myself up but I fell asleep on the couch for three hours and it was too late for dinner when I woke up so I went to bed hungry
- I didn’t really expect to sell everything at Got Craft, but I sold a lot less than I hoped so now I have a lot of leftover shiny things
- I had a hard time falling asleep for the last two nights because my arms were hurting really badly, and around 3am I finally realized why: I had three white knuckle scooter rides in a span of 24 hours, and in trying to keep myself upright and in one piece I had strained my arm muscles so badly I couldn’t relax
- I spend a *lot* of time by myself and reflecting on that makes me sad
So .. basically, I’m a big whiny baby is all. I’ll get over it/myself soon enough; I am just tired and sore.
I’ll take pictures of the rest of my shiny inventory and put them online this week; if anyone wants anything let me know. They are cheap and shiny, just like me!
