Oh Dear...

Well...got the Massive Cupboard delivered...yesterday afternoon...
Seems I'm SPINNNNNING!
John, unbeknownst, to me...had started unloading the FUSO...had stuff...all piled around the truck...{Bless his Heart...} it's just....sometimes...EVERYTHING is a BIT OVERWHELMING....
it truly is

SHOWTIME!!!
Peg is enroute...she's visiting her Dad...today...and coming in, tomorrow...
She asked if I had my 'Plan'...for the booth done yet...
NOOOOOOOO! {or as Amy Winehouse would say..."No! No! No!....}
I told her...every time, I have a 'Plan'....set in my mind...The 'Center' of my 'Plan'...sells...so...I start all over again....and again...and...yet...again...So...{I am not complaining...Thank God...for the sales...}
No Plans...'til I'm LOADING the Truck...and the back door is LATCHED!!!! {thankfully...I have stashed some cool things back...for Gold Rush...}
The truck has to be loaded a certain way...
Bones for the booth, at the tail...
Doors...Rugs...Lights...Cords....Fabric...
then...the Big Pieces... then the smaller, bigs.... and the totes, way at the front... we only have a limited amount of time, to get everything out...and set....
Peg says, I am The Mad Hatter....and turn into another person....during 'set up'...{I don't see it...}She remembers, the one, and only time, she helped Julie, and I, at this show....Peg had never seen me set a booth, before... I'll just say....I get very...Focused...
When the booth is set...I'm back...to me, again...{says, Peg...}
I scared Peg...to death...{I think she still has nightmares...poor Peg...}
I don't think I'm that bad...just, like this moment...as I'm writing....I'm also, in three other places... and...maybe not here...at all... my mind rushes, to where it needs to be, at the moment...and...the one thing, that I don't have... is HUMOR!!!! I am very...very....serious.... Focused....and those who know me...don't like seeing me, this way...wound very...very...tight....
Sorry...it's what keeps us alive...
So...I am wound....
The Truck Will be Done...today...
I'll have a 'Plan'... by tonight...
oh my...
IT'S SHOWTIME!!!!!!
Love to Ya!

The Lead Song...'Landslide'....how appropriate!
I had to laugh...when I saw the Hammer, next to the Gnarly Head Bottle..{that Abbey made into a candle for me....} sitting at the end of the Truck Bed.... "well...if the Hammer won't fix it...hand me the Gnarly Head!"....
