Things are kind of ganging up on me right now, and I am not able to get to the blog as needed at the moment.
Sorry.
Be back soon!
Here's a nice song to enjoy until then.

It is time....
Time to pull the trigger and get it in gear, or as my mother would say "time to poop or get off the pot!" (Eddie-torial Comments: Your source for earthy humor in the morning!)
Thanksgiving is a week from yesterday. I am not sure how that happened, since the last time I checked there were still three weeks to go! I still do not have all my Xmas out at the booth! Ack! (As Chiquito would say.) I am losing sales all the dang time. In fact, my sales have all but stagnated. If they were any slower, I'd have a zombie booth. Sigh!
I have this weekend to get both stores in order for Black Friday, and that's it! Monday is port day and Tuesday is Treatment #2. Right after I get up from the chair, we are headed to Arkansas. I am kind of adamant about seeing Keith's mother this year. She's not getting any younger and not doing really well right now. I may spend part of the trip in bed at the hotel, but I am insisting that we go.
It's a make it work moment! (As Tim Gunn would say.)

Mini-Monday Rambles
Just a really quick note to let everyone know that I am still among the living on this planet. Right now, we are in Arkansas, wrapping up our annual Thanksgiving-ish visit with Keith's family. We head out tomorrow and will be back in Louisville for our own feast. Regular blogging should resume about that time.
It's been a whirlwind trip, as usual, but I did get some quick junking in. Finds include an awesome vintage suitcase with all hardware working, plus two keys! It was a dollar. I love, love, love small town community thrifts. I also found a box with like 30 volumes of manga in it for a quarter apiece. The biggest community thrift wasn't open, unfortunately. I also got attacked by a Chihuahua in a Santa suit at this dinky Mom and Pop thrift place I stopped at. They had nothing but crap, but when I turned to leave the dog ran and jumped up at my leg, barking and snarling all the while!
I always end up wishing we had more time when we come rushing in like this. Too much to do and not enough time to do it! Maybe next year!
