Lost in Time

I am lost in time at CHA. I think it is more so this year because I am generally by myself wandering up and down rows looking at scrapbook supplies and trying to figure out what would thrill our customers. I am mostly in my own thoughts until I see a bizarrely dressed crafter. Sadly true, crafting / business owners tend to not be the best dressers. Myself included. This is of course a generality and is not meant to offend.

I finished looking at all the booths today. When I got to the end of the last big room, I could not figure out how to get back to the rest of the rooms. I tried to find the connecting hallways. I walked up and down the long wall several times thinking I was going crazy until I realized I was at the end and needed to turn around and go the other way. Again, I am lost in my own world. Duh! Our Pebbles Inc. product for American Crafts seems to be selling well... crowds are well down though.

I did get my first english speaking taxi driver tonight on Day 3. Is that too much to ask for? We live in America... we need a common language to pull us together. I am wearing the new clothes that my girls helped pick out before I came. I surprisingly like them and yes, even wonder why I haven't done this before. I think they did a pretty good job, except for maybe the floral sweater that made me look like a sofa. Florals belong in a vase. But I will keep it. Someone even complimented me on my pants and all I could l think of was, that would make my girls smile :)
