Calamity Jane...

...or maybe it should be Kalamity Kelly? Naw, that just sounds stupid, but seriously, I'm starting to feel that way. Let's see...first show, aborted vacation, funeral, extended family "issues", stomach flu (Ryan and I...how come DH NEVER gets sick???!!!) and a broken toe...all in less than 1 month. ARRGGH! Freakin' ENOUGH already! To whoever is having fun playing with my life - I OFFICIALLY GIVE UP! You win. You can let me off the ground now and go torture someone else! Seriously. Oh and don't let the toddler's projectile vomit hit you in the ass on your way out! Sheesh!

**WARNING*** this particular blog entry contains some gross stuff.

Oh and to the people who keep asking me (regarding childrearing) "don't you want to have more?" Shut up. Really. The week that the kid threw up all over me repeatedly AND had a lake of diarrhea in his crib is NOT the time to be asking me this question even jokingly. And this doesn't even begin to cover the fact that I'm turning 40 in less than two months - the eggs are gettin' old, folks, so quit buggin' me already!

Whew! I feel better for having gotten all that off my chest, don't you? Well, if not, hey, there are PLENTY of other blogs to go read and I'm sure that quite a good number of them manage to avoid the mention of diarrhea, too. Probably a good idea to go check those out.

In other news...before the dreaded flu of death struck (is that what they mean by "a plague on your house?" or wait...it's "pox" isn't it? "a pox on your house" well, whatever the disease du jour, we've had it) where was I? Oh yeah, before the plague hit, I managed to get the majority of the scanning done on the new items. Yay for me! I've got one more round of scanning and uploading to get done (hopefully by Monday) and then everything should be ready for your shopping pleasure. And don't worry - all these items were nowhere near the "plagued" part of the house (plus I Lysol'd pretty much everything that I could reach that would stand still - and even the birds were getting nervous seeing me with a can in each hand) I'll send an announcement when it's time for the shopping frenzy to begin.

Next on the agenda is to find another couple of show venues to tackle before the end of the year. There's a somewhat promising one for 4th of July, but you have to man your booth from 12-9 PM and that would mean missing celebrating and fireworks with my family and I'm not sure I want to do that (unless of course they have Plague v2.0 in which case I'll be more than happy to be as far away as possible).

I'll send an announcement when all the new stuff is up so pay attention out there! Take care all!
