Pepsi is Not Coke... and Leggings are Not Pants
So, last night this woman got all snotty about the lack of Pepsi products. Seriously, she was really irate. I tried to politely explain that Coke was our supplier and was doing a fine job. On the other hand, Pepsi seemed to have not the slightest interest in getting back to us, etc. She just looked at me and said, "Pepsi is not Coke!"
I nodded ( Read more... ) -
Today, We Made a Salve
So Lex and I made a calendula salve this morning. We'd grown, harvested, and dried the calendulas, chamomile, and lavender earlier in the season - even the beeswax came from our neighbor - but today we actually put everything together. So far, it looks and smells great and we have more dried flowers, so we'll do more on Thursday. The salve is ( Read more... ) -
Post Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos
So Halloween was fun. Oddly, work itself was just as much if not more fun than the party in the bar that followed. From adorably costumed kids to really nice customers, it was simply a great night. Yes, I'll admit it, I got a lot of attention and I loved it, but, really, who can't say the same? The bar party was fun, too. Cody came as a ( Read more... ) -
Why is the UK Out to Get Me?
So far tonight I've broken two bottles of beer - from two separate six-packs - both because the bottom just fell out of it. WTF, Newcastle Brown Ale? Why the breakage? Why is the UK out to get me? -

I should be excited. Counting today, I have two more days of work and then nearly a week's vacation. Oddly, though, I feel a strange sense of foreboding. I wonder why ( Read more... ) -
Halloween
OMG! OMG! OMG! I am so super excited about Halloween now! I freakin' love Halloween, but I'm really excited about my costume this year. I have to work, but that's actually a good thing because it's fun and then I can go to the party at the bar after. Also, all the cute little kids come trick-or-treating at the store and they never would come ( Read more... ) -
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis! That's what it is! Lucky, lucky me! The pain varies between tolerable and unbearable depending upon what I am trying to do, but at least it is not permanent. I'm meant to stay off of it, use crutches, rest, do heat/cold therapy, do stretches, and take Advil, but we shall see. I am not pleased. On the upside, our connectivity is ( Read more... ) -
Pain and Produce
So today was the last farm stand of the season. I'm a little sad, a little nostalgic, and a little relieved. I am also in a great deal of pain, but I'll get to that later. Overall, it was a good season and we made over $4,100. This makes me happy, but I'm happier that the thing exists at all and that other people have had a chance to sell ( Read more... )
