Let's just nix Monday and see how it goes.

Alright, so...

Sunday. Was. Long.

Started at the Farmer's Market looking like death beaten with an ugly stick which only got 15 minutes of actual sleep because that respective stick is slightly retarded. A slow start ended with a huge bang when I resolved to not-give-a-fuck and sold about 45 bottles of oil and vinegar. And about three bottles of body Vanilla stuff. I, however, could not muster up the courage or the insanity to tell the people buying the Vanilla paste that, yes, it can be used as a aphrodisiac for men, and yes, it probably does taste good on skin. However, it was Sunday morning and there were children around so, no, I'm not going to go into detail about something that really shouldn't be discussed unless there is a significant amount of alcohol involved when I really don't know these people very well anyway.

Things Katie said to customers as they were walking by:

"I have Basil & Garlic oil, I've got Apricot & Lavender, Cherry, and Blackberry Vanilla Balsamic Vinegar, and I also have Strawberry Chipotle Balsamic Vinegar, though I really don't know why because honestly I can't think of one fucking thing to do with it, and it doesn't taste very good anyway..."

Things Katie said to a lesbian couple that bought four bottles of Vinegar:

"It's really hot today, actually it WAS hot, but then it wasn't and now it's hot and muggy, and I have this whole apocalyptic vision of the weather, that were really going into this era of epic global warming, and then with the war in the middle east right now, I think the world is going to end soon, really... and I'm here selling oil and vinegar..."

Response: dumbfounded, "You're really funny," earnest laugh,

Katie: straight face "I'm not kidding."

Things other vendors said to Katie after I went on diatribe about world coming to end:

"I don't know how you do it, but you really are the only one who ever has people, not only come up to your stand, but who sells to people, it's amazing."

Yes, that is a little bit bragatory, but it was complimentary, and I wanted to share.

I finished up working farmers market then went home to travel around Venice and take pictures of people with Sean who was in town. Other than that, I went to bed at around midnight... then woke up at about 10... p.m.

Ack. Medication with not much sleep on Saturday night = no go for anything for Monday.

Awesome.
