It's Craft Show Time

I went to a craft show called Christmas Village at the fairgrounds today. It was really big and really fun. It was interesting because there was tons of food things and anyone that had food stuff like soup packets or sauces had tasters out. There were so many pretzels to dip and cracker bits that it put Costco weekends to shame. :) I'm not a big fan of samples. I'm especially not a big fan of samples that I have to pick up my pretzel or cracker off a plate. Who else has touched it? They have people monitoring so there is no double dipping but even then, it does not interest me to taste any of it. The soup samples they ladle into the tiny plastic cups is fine since the only person touching the cup is the sales person who does the ladling and then hands it to you. I'm not a germ fanatic or clean freak in that regard, but the sheer volume of potential touchers kind of grosses me out. People are just way to eager to eat the food samples. There were lots of cool things and I came away with some great ideas. I did sample one thing (using a taster spoon served by the sales person) which was Apricot Honey Praline Jelly. Yum. Next weekend is the craft fair at the High School. :) ...more holiday fun... hee, hee

My vacuum died. I think the belt broke. I have to pry it open and check it out. Hopefully it's just the belt - those are cheap. I think it still sucks but doesn't seem to be rotating. With my cats I need to vacuum often. They leave a lot of hair on the carpet. I may have to resort to using the attachments to get the cat hair and dander out of the carpet. I have come to the conclusion that some of my allergies are because of the cats.

One week til I see my Jordan!!!!!!!!!
