Well meaning people, good intentions and all that jazz!

Doncha just love people who know how to do EVERYTHING better than you do? "Oh you shouldn't do it that way, you should do it THIS way." "Here, let me tell you how it really works and what that is really used for." And my personal favorite, "Well, that's not how a REAL business does it."

That one really has me loading my gun and reaching for my lawyer. What do you mean "REAL business???" I AM a real business. I have my fein number and my resale number, I sell and buy and have the filed taxes to prove it. So what if I don't do it the same way everyone else does, everyone ELSE crashed when the stock market did. Look at the number of businesses, oh excuse me, REAL businesses that have had to close their doors and I'm still here.

Yep, that one REALLY gets the old and tired juices flowing.

Leanne and I are getting ready for our (probably) one and only craft show this year. I'm pretty happy that we were able to find THIS one so late in the season. Of course that they still has openings has me a bit worried that it might be a dud. Been there and done that in San Jose. Nothing worse than a two day show with no customers!

The other thing that does concern me is that there are going to be the well known brands as well as those of us who aren't so well known. Having done that before too, I am a bit worried that we won't be able to compete.

Of course, when it comes to setting up an interesting table to show ones goods off to their advantage is also NOT my forte. Okay, let's be blunt. While I can make nice jewelry, when it comes to decorating, I'm CRAP! Just once I'd like to have a table that people ooohed and aaaaaahed over. I hope Leanne has better instincts that I have as it would be nice to announce ourselves to the local community with a Roar instead of a constipated whimper!

Well, back to the real world. Today I'm baking pumpkin muffins (cooked up the pumpkin yesterday and couldn't finish the rest as the electricity kept going out. We had a HUGE wind storm), seeing the quack about my blood pressure and diabetes, and dealing with the two eldest children who are in bed ill today. yippee skippee.
