Venting about stuff. Feel free to ignore this. Or comment. Whatever.
Sometimes I wonder about my worth as a friend. Not in an emo "my life sucks" kind of way, just in a contemplative kind of way, and regarding a certain "friend." I feel that I have friends that I am extremely close with, who are wonderful people, and I would unquestioningly take a bullet for them, and I'm confident that those certain friends would ( Read more... ) -
It's that time of the year again...
Aaaand I'm sick. Grrreeeaaaat. No work for me today. Balls. -
NYRF 2010 - All's Faire
So the Ren Faire season is in full swing again. Steve's been tied up with rehearsals, creating the program (which looks gorgeous, if I do say so myself), setting up camp, and a myriad of other faire related doings. Me? I've been giddy, helping with camp, and trying to help clean up the back cart area that is the fabulous second location of ( Read more... ) -

I rolled my eyes at the Yonkers idea, but I looked anyway and I couldn't believe what I was looking at. After doing ( Read more... ) -

Steve and I looked at a cute place in Greenwood Lake, NY today, several actually. One in particular we really liked, though it could stand to be just a bit bigger (it's 900 square feet, but in all fairness, it does utilize the space well). We're trying to put things into perspective and I like lists, so here's the pros and cons.

Confessions of a Retail Employee, Part 2
Open Your Eyes
This bit a two-parter. That being said, I'm going to repeat the title of this section once more because it's important. Open.Your. Eyes. Most stores are very much "self-serve" stores. This means there's almost always giant signs hanging from the ceiling to tell you what department you're in, and sometimes, what items are in whatever ( Read more... )
