Metaphorically Speaking …

From The Friday Five

1. When you go to the beach, lake, or pool, are you more likely to lower yourself gradually into cold water or to take a determined plunge and get it over with? Ooooh I do both! I start off with a gradual lowering of my body parts but then will take the plunge and get it over with in one go!

2. How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other tasks or ordeals? LOL I really didn’t see this question coming!! It’s bizarre but yeah that’s pretty much me! Procrastinate for ages then jump in feet first!!

3. When someone gives you flowers, are you more likely to let them turn completely brown and gross before throwing them out, or to discard them the moment they take on that sick-flower look? Well it’s been a LONG time since anyone gave me flowers!!! I don’t ever let them die and turn yucky brown – I’ll bin them long before that.

4. How is this like (or unlike) your approach to other gifts, purchases, or relationships? Funnily enough – NOTHING like it. I tend to hang on to things for far longer than is healthy. That probably applies to gifts, purchases AND relationships. Maybe I need a big purge!

5. Think of your favorite movie (or a movie you really like, if you can’t think of a favorite). Some people say that the reasons you love your favorite movie are related to what you value in romantic relationships. How is this true or untrue in your case? Welllll I have a ton of favourite movies, but the ones I’ll always watch over and over again are the sappy romantic comedies! How true is this to what I value in romantic relationships? It’s actually bang on true!! I CRAVE romance! I can’t remember the time I felt literally swept off my feet or caught up in a moment *sigh*

Dangit I’m melancholy now!! When WAS the last time I felt like that??? I seriously can’t actually remember and the only thing that comes to mind was over a decade ago when I was kissed outside in the pouring rain – no, torrential downpours and the rain didn’t matter – just me, the guy and the moment.





Keeping fingers firmly crossed!!

Well ……. it hasn’t exactly been a fabulous week for sales totals, but I’m safe in the knowledge that last week was REALLY good, so as long as next week works out okay then we’ll be just fine :-)

Talking of next week, it’s my first time at the East Preston monthly market on Wednesday next week and I am really looking forward to it. This will be a regular slot the first Wednesday of every month and it’s already an established market so I’ll be able to build up a regular clientele. I still want something at least weekly to guarantee me sales if the website is slow … but we’re working on that (the Royal “we” that is LOL)

Meanwhile tonight I’ve had a night off from number crunching and I’ve been working on designing a poster to promote candle parties to put up in shop windows around the local area. I’m really pleased with how it turned out … it’s looking gooooooood!! I’ll get a few printed off tomorrow and then drop some off in town over the weekend. I hate not being mega busy with orders! I never really truly know what to do with myself!

Next Friday night will be fun though … I’m going over to Lou’s as it is her daughter’s prom night and I’ll be taking photos of her daughter getting ready and the all dressed up on the night. I can’t WAIT! I’m soooo looking forward to it because a) I haven’t done anything “fun” with my camera since my 25 smiles project … and b) it’s been aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages since Lou & I did anything and we’ll have a damned good night chatting and putting the world to rights!

Soooooooooo anyway I’ve drunk a lil too much and am in danger of waffling on about things that really shouldn’t be said in public, so it’s time to say goodnight! LOL
