Christmas Craft Sale
Well, yet Day One of another Christmas Craft Sale is history and once again Maggie sold out. We were looking at a pretty empty table by noon and the sale went right through until 4. We kept rearranging ornaments and pillows, trying to make it look like there was way more merchandise than there really was. But even that was pretty hard by the time 2 o'clock rolled around. Then we pretty much just gave up and took turns walking around and checking out what everyone else had left.
We briefly considered getting some of Sunday's stock and putting it out today but that would be just silly, then we'd still have to sit around with an almost bare table tomorrow. Maggie wants her stuff to sell but decided sticking to the original plan was a better idea.
Happy to report they all had more stock left than us! It makes up for all those sales when the lady selling scarves was across from us and made a killing while we went home with pretty much the same amount of stuff we arrived with. Now we laugh and joke and say we've become the infamous scarf lady and everyone else probably envies our success.
Stacy showed up with McDonalds for us and of course Mom showed up as expected. She hung out for a couple hours talking grandkids with Maggie and wondering if I had a date any time this weekend. At least she was happy with one of our responses.
What is it with this family of mine? Its like they've entered into a not-so-secret alliance to get me a man. Whatever. They're just going to have to realize I'm quite happy being single or maybe I should emphasize the fact that I'm footloose and fancy free and loving it. That kind of description will give them something to think about hee hee hee!
But just to make Mom happy and give her something to go home and tell Dad about, I pointed out that the same guy came around to our booth at least four times and never bought anything. He was probably there with his wife and bored out of his mind so he was doing laps around the community club. But of course I played it up like he was checking me out. On one of the walk bys he had a really good looking grey haired guy with him so maybe I'm way off base and the two of them are together. That would be just my luck, two hunks more interested in one another than me. That's fate I tell ya!
Hey, what's wrong with having a little fun at your family's expense? Dude #1 had sandy hair and blue eyes; just my type. Hmm, maybe I should have checked for a wedding band, eh? Or watched him and grey hair a little more closely...
