Well, this is unexpected

I actually won something? *blinks* Yep. I still feel kind of squiffy about having more or less nominated myself, but since I didn't vote for myself, I suppose I shall offer up a small squee. Privately.

I'm just kind of dumbfouded, really. I actually won something.

And congratulations to everyone else who won!

In other news, I desperately need to go shopping. I managed to stay away from all sugar and flour-based products yesterday (which is doubly good on me because there are two cakey muffins on the countertop, screaming to be eaten), and only cheated a little on the salt and vinegar side. But there are so few vegetables in the house that snacking potential is close to nil, and if I don't snack I will go stark raving mad, because this diet makes me so very, very hungry!

I'm about to commit myself to a table at the local Mother's Club Holiday Fair. I am slightly nervous about this. I have plans for what I will display, but haven't yet made the majority of it. Artsy cards will be prominent, which means I will need to get artsy card stock. First I will determine how much I will need to charge for the cards to be able to make any money off of them, though.

The fair is December 1st. I need to be ready by then. Eep.

I could still back out. I haven't sent the check in yet. But I think there's the possibility that people might be willing to buy some of my less expensive stuff. Question is, will people buy enough stuff to cover all expenses? Must research this today.

And also on my mind... I haven't touched my exchange piece for about a week now. This is not good, especially if I also plan to do the fair. I suppose I need to start sceduling my time. And stick to it. This amount per day for artsies, this amount for exchangies, this amount for tidying/cleaning up as people will be bringing their kids over here next week and once a month thereafter.

This diet better work on giving me more energy.

Geoff will almost certainly not be coming home today. I'm not terribly surprised. I am surprised at the company for sending him out, but then again, not surprised. His company is... crazy. Batshit crazy. And reaping the rewards of being batshit crazy in a very bad way.

However, I am inordinately proud of Geoff for standing up and stating the obvious in the face of boss' save-face. The whole thing makes me nervous, but, you know... We'll see how it pans out.

So, that's a vague idea of what life is like right now. So now, I need to go eat breakfast. Unfortunately, I still haven't decided between left-overs or eggs.

I really need to go shopping.

It would indeed be difficult to have an opinion on a story one had never read. Yes, I finished "Traitor" just before I voted. I tried to read everything in each category that was nominated, at least until it annoyed me (which several abysmally-written entries did). It's as difficult to turn away from it as it is hard to read, and it's written with such dignity. What I can't bring myself to read is the piece that was "inspired" by it. ;)
