Many thanks, Janae!
Well, so much for my wallflower intentions, eh?? This is such a justifiable way to avoid everything else and exercise procrastination, though!!
But now I really am just stalling. The gates to the fair open in half an hour for vendors, etc., to sett up. Mike put up the big stuff last night. My job is the fun, frilly stuff today. Then the curtain officially goes up tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. -- with make-up!
I really don't think I could have gotten this done without Mike, the heavy lifting and building notwithstanding. "Ok, make a list. Alright, where are you? What's left? How ya doin'?" The last one is code for "I'm not sure you're on track right now." And I KNOW I couldn't do this without my friends and family chipping in and taking shifts!! Twelve hours a day for ten days in a row. This is going to be a real test!
The position of our booth couldn't be more perfect!!! There's no airconditioning in the building (it's the Bay Area, folks...I'd never lived in a house with AC until Mike and I had one installed 4 years ago), and most booths get some kind of sun during the day. BUT NOT OURS!!! PLUS, because of where we're positioned, we've got a little extra space AND an outlet!! We're set!! I AM going to bring some air freshener, though, since we ARE right next to the men's room.
Prayer requests: Our energy and safety (and prosperity), and that we'll be true ambassadors. Please pray specifically that I'll get through the entire run without a flattening mirgraine attack. I've scheduled at least one other person to be with me in the booth at all times as a back up. But I really want to get through this without going down...at all. (Nonetheless, not my will... and all I can really do is set up the right conditions to the best of my ability.)
Alrighty, then! See you in a about a week and a half.
It's off to the fair!!
