I'm sort of back...

I drove Jennie to the airport this morning, which was very, very sad, but we agreed that it's likely the last time I shall have to do that, which is very, very good. I am mailing her a crowbar to use on Ryan.

The fair went very well. It was a weird one, all of the vendors agree, but it was good for us.

I'm terribly behind on everything. I go back to work tomorrow, so I have to get email answered today and work on the webpage. The coding for the webpage is basically done... today is largely going to be spent re-entering items. Yay. It really shouldn't be that bad. Really. But I'm known for being overly optimistic, so let's see how it goes.

Jennie and I did take two days off, Tuesday and yesterday. We drove out to Chena Hot Springs and lugged art stuff to a yurt. We soaked, and ate, and soaked and arted and napped and soaked and arted and ate... It was heaven. Though I'm honestly very un-impressed with the CHS management. They have ceased to include a swim pass with yurt rentals, and towel service is now $5.00. And yet, with all of this money that they are saving, still they cannot manage to afford $1.79 for a bathroom stall slider that has been missing for two years, nor can they manage to install towel hooks in the shower room. I plan to go buy some of each and mail them to CHS with a nice-scathing note.

I'm off to check my yahoo mail, which I have not even looked at in at least two weeks. (Scary!) And then start entering EMG stuff. I came back from dropping Jennie off and slept another few hours, which I desperately needed, but now my day is somewhat gone. Off I go!







Now must work.

The fair was weird in what way? And did you have a Navajo taco for me? (she says wistfully)

Argh. I meant to, and reminded myself about six times, but it was all the way across the fair, and I forgot. I did have other delicious fair food and thought of you! The fair was weird in that

a) it was hot and sunny!!!

b) things that folks usually buy, they didn't buy.

c) things that folks don't usually buy, they bought a great deal of.

d) there weren't that many people there.

It was rather strange.

Why was the fair weird? :)

I listed stuff above in reply to Maryanne, but basically, the weather was unusual and people didn't buy what anyone expected. Some of the vendors were really, really disappointed by their sales. One artist brought some very expensive pieces (~$1000) and didn't expect to sell them, but did, but on the other hand, didn't sell hardly any of their prints, which they usually sold very well.
