Craft Show Day!  Finally!
I have been waiting for this day for a while, and it's finally here!  I made all those goodies (and my bait pictures on Facebook worked, too...thanks, Nat!) and ran around like crazy clearing my schedule, and made plans and all that.  I was ready for today.
And it was so worth it.  I felt so useful and worthwhile and helpful.  It was great feeling!  I made so many 'laps' of the Center, watching different Crafters' tables while they ran to the bathroom, or got themselves some lunch or a drink, or watched over the bake sale table, or the raffle table (we are raffling off a complete Thanksgiving dinner) as other workers needed breaks.  Oh, let me tell you, it was a wonderful day!

At lunchtime, which is really earlier than my so-called normal lunch time, one of my TOPS friends came up for lunch - we make sandwichs, chilis & soups, and desserts, also - and we had a very pleasant lunch, then back to work I went, because the crafters wanted lunch, too!  My fellow worker, Donna (who is in TOPS with us), and Saundra split bean soup between them but I went all out and had a grilled cheese and french fries, and treated myself to a piece of candy from the bake sale table for dessert (white chocolate with cherries cut up in it, with half a cherry on top. YUM!).  I figured with all the walking I was doing, I needed the carbs to keep up my energy.  Besides that, I was hungry!

So, all afternoon and evening, I walked and walked and sat and sat, and did what I needed to do.  I really enjoyed it.  A lot.  As I said before, it really felt good to be useful again.

Ron picked Corgan up after he got off of work, because Jean's truck is sitting brakeless in our driveway, then they came up to have supper with me.  Corgan had chili cheese fries, Ron had a steak burger and a chili dog, and I had a potato soup. Again, I had dessert.  This time, I succumbed to the no-bake cookies.  Yes, cookieS.  I had two.  I tried to give the second one away, but no one would take it, so - pop - into my mouth it went.  YUM.

The Craft Show closed tonight at 7:30, and I helped gather things up and do what needed done, and was on the way home at 7:40.  I was glad.  I got home, and got on the pute and got my games and all caught up and am just about ready to hit the sack - my feet are throbbing now.  I'm glad that tomorrow the Craft Show is only until 2:30...

When I put my food & exercise (I claimed walking for a mile & a half) for the day into myfitnesspal, I was 800 calories short for the day.  EIGHT HUNDRED!  I couldn't believe it!  But, I was kinda happy with that, but didn't want myfitnesspal to holler at me, so I ate a banana, then when I go to bed I will enjoy my last Cinnamon Blossom.  WhooHoo!  Now I'm only 300 short for the day - no hollering going on for that.

Today gets five stars!
