03/15/02 - Dreary day, but spirits are high ... it’s the weekend. Funny how that works. It
doesn’t matter how dreary the day, knowing it’s the weekend improves it 100%. My daytimes are fairly planned for this weekend. I’m going to a huge craft show with my boss on Saturday. And Sunday I will be mulling around at our library’s annual book sale. Tonight will be mystery night for me, which means I’m not for sure what I’m doing as yet, plans are not finalized. Saturday night I will be watching Drummer Boy perform at the Pub, I’m getting good at this groupie thing. So, it looks like a busy and pretty much perfect weekend, especially for a dreary one. And, I think it’s a fitting finish to all the paperwork I’ve been tackling this week, and all the sickness I’ve been working hard at getting over, and all the emptiness I’ve been feeling. No, this weekend surely won’t be empty.

So, I’m doing a bit of pre-planning here. Making sure things go smoothly. I’m really not all that good at spontaneity, I lost the knack somewhere. I try to attend the crafts shows with some idea of what I’m interested in. There’s so much to see, you can run out of time if you look at everything. Stained glass is one of those things I’ve seen there but have usually passed over, just not high enough on my list to give much time to. But, think I’m in a stained glass mood this time. I think I’ll pick out a few little hanging pieces to hang in the windows, promote cheeriness. I usually purchase a necklace from a couple of ladies that always have a booth. Their stuff is always sparkly and ornate, and expensive. And, last
time I went to this show I discovered craftsmen that made wooden pens. I’ve always had a pen fetish. I’ve got a bit of a collection going. I passed over the booth with the somewhat psychedelic looking pens, shades of purple, pink, blues, even orange. But this time, yeah, sounds very good to me. That’s probably all the focus I’ll have time for. My boss is a maniac at these shows. She plows through them. And, she never back tracks, so you have to make your decisions pretty much on the spot. Oh yeah, there were some beautiful dried
flower arrangements last time, hmmm not sure though, may be a little too foo foo for me. I’ve mentally shot my wad already. Sunday’s book sale will be different, don’t need much of a wad to come out satisfied. Usually I just like checking out the titles and browsing around. On Sunday you can get a big paper sack full of books for just $1. I’ll be looking for a bunch of westerns to send to my dad, they will last him all year. These sales are great if your into mainstream stuff. I’m not. I will possibly come away with a few obscure items. Maybe I’ll find a book or two by a favorite author. I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately. I’m trying to get through the pile I’ve amassed, and I’m actually doing a pretty good job of it.

And since I’m sitting here planning, I should probably make a little time to go through my closet. Here I’ve got all these plans and I’m thinking I’m going to have to make a lot of wardrobe changes, each event being different, each event calling for a different aura. That’s a pretty funny thought, aura. Not much aura in my closet I’m afraid. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t be creative. Yeah, this may be a perfect weekend for some wardrobe creativity. Now, what the heck do you wear to mystery night?
