How I wrap up a day like this one
Saturday, 8 November, 2008 at 10:46 PM First off, you should know that the "Those Creative Women" event was a total hoot. Scads of guests flowed through the house from 10 'til after 4, and I believe everyone was happy with their sales and also just with the company in general. Most excellent company.
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you I'm still struggling with the idea of continuing to sell jewelry at events. Even the two I have coming up are causing me serious pause. I want to honor my commitments; on the other hand, if I didn't participate in these, I seriously doubt I'd be missed. Okay, maybe a little, but not horribly. We'll see. That's perhaps a blog post for another day.
So when I got home, I had all these fabulous plans brewing in my mind: was gonna' work on a web project, work out, then download the photos I took today. Here's what I've done, instead:
- Ate a bowl of Kendra Adachi's yummy granola for dinner while checking email,
- Took a dose of Airborne, hoping to ward off the possible cold that seems to be tickling my throat, (just started drinking another one while I read back over this before posting - I'm definitely getting sick,)
- After the surprising appearance of inspiration, made about half a necklace then got tired of it and put it away for tomorrow,
- Checked my credit report,
- Watched some Photoshop tutorials on YouTube,
- Then watched some music ones, just because,
- Replied to some more emails,
- Looked at apartment listings online,
- Wrote in a journal, before getting distracted and doing some of the above things...totally stopped writing, mid-sentence. Can't remember why, now, but it's typical. Maybe I'll get back to that after writing this. Or maybe I'll just go to bed.
Hopefully I got a few good photos of our hoo ha today, and I'll be able to post them soon. Maybe. You know about my follow-through on things like this. But it could happen...
Hope your day was equally full of the things you wanted!

Apparently a cold can come on really, really fast? Today I had a tickle in my throat. Now I can't stop coughing. Excellent.

A running friend turned me on to the magic of apple cider vinegar. I take it whenever I feel a cold coming on and it does the trick. (She takes it 2x/day, always, but I'm not that committed. ) I eyeball, but take a tablespoon, add enough water that the taste doesn't gag you, and swallow. 2x a day for about 3 days has done the trick for me.
Sorry I missed the show. I bet it was great. What other shows are you doing coming up? Any free spaces by chance?
I hate you're feeling bad but I sure enjoyed spending the day with you.
Ditto on the hope you're feeling better sentiment!! I'm really glad you got to be part of the show, and we all look forward to hearing you arrive at some clarity on what you'll do next.
Dena, THAT'S what I forgot at the supermarket today. I should tell you that although I've not been quite as present online these last couple of days, I haven't actually completely "caught" the cold I was convinced I was dying of the other night when I wrote. In fact, although I'm still moving a little less enthusiastically than is my custom, I have coughed very little since then. Green tea antioxidants, maybe???? Plus Airborne continues to remain on hand. Thanks for the hint, no matter how icky!
Jessie, I hope you were doing something equally lovely on Saturday! Thank you, we had a blast. (Finally blogged about it here!) As for other shows, I'm not doing anymore, after all. It feels good to finally just make a decision already!
Cindy, thank you too. I really am okay, and it was awesome to get to spend time with you. Hang in there with all you have going on this week and I'll look forward to seeing you again asap.
Kendra, thanks for that. Clarity would be way cool. For the moment I'll settle for bits and pieces, which I have found. We'll see what happens later. :) Thanks again for inviting me. You're the best hostess!
HI Melody, I was just roaming around your site and I was trying to find who won the last jewelery drawing from just before the "Those Creative Women" show and I can't seem to find a posting for it. What am I missing?
