The big day
I don't mean 7/7/07, though that is SO damn cool (I've always been a numbers fiend), but the Magdalena Old Timers Reunion, our big festival that brings hundreds of people to town and buoys the local economy for the weekend. I've cleaned and rearranged the store, brought in some wonderful new artists, made sure everything is tagged, changed some lightbulbs -- puttin' on the Ritz for the hordes of people milling about town looking for cool local non-mass-produced stuff.
Except. I'm still waiting. To break $100. A very cool older woman (what I want to be when I'm 60+) bought my carnelian dragonfly necklace -- it's been languishing because few people look good in orange, but it looked fabulous on her.
So much for The Big Day saving my ass this summer.
Add in a slow economy (is anyone actually believing W's bulshit anymore?), high gas prices, and torrential downpours
