Rested and Ready to Make 'em

Thank you everyone for the well wishes and thoughts last week while HillDog, Lulu and I were at Market. Thank you to Chief and Slick for the relief in the booth from time to time! There were only several thousand attendees and only 1,500 of them that we talked to... we handed out samples and information sheets until we were blue in the face... to match our shirts.

Man- to see us we looked pretty good.

There were hundreds of people- you know I am an exaggerator- but this time I am serious- hundreds of people told us they love the Knotty Knotes. We are hoping that from the hundreds of the samples and order forms we have distributed that we will start getting orders...

There were a few orders at market- but "fewer than twenty."

That said- HillDog and I are counting paper right now and have had to reorder paper to make the the orders!!! Yeah!!!

Here you see that sorority sisters are as wonderful as real sisters and that they are there for you whenever you need them!!

Thank you friends and thank you family. I still think we are on a great path, we just need to keep plugging...

I love you all!

We're ready!!

It has been a long two weeks of going to the warehouse in Dallas and then this week going to the World Trade Center to set up... but I think we are ready!!
We practiced taking an order today and are ready for the real thing tomorrow!!

So you feel like you are here...

this is everything in my car last week.

this is the shelves in the garage getting ready for the trip.

Here are the shelves in Lulu's truck.

Friends

So I have this friend.

I have known her since freshman year of undergrad. She is a lovely tall blond academic with a heart of gold and red lipstick. She is quick with a prayer and quicker with a hug. She knows I have been crazy busy with life- really who isn't- and she sent me the most lovely expression of friendship last week.

She knew that I would be insane with paper this week so she sent flowers last week so I would be able to enjoy them!

Thank you, friend.
