The show yesterday went so well! It was just really great to get out there and to have other people see our work. The cold seemed to keep some people away, and some vendors told me that this month was quieter for them then it has been in the past. It was still fun, and I think our photographs were really well-received.

Friday was a loooong day, and we didn’t get much sleep at all. We were there to set up by 8:20 in the morning, opened at 10:00, and broke the booth down after 6:30 or so. I picked up Jason, came home, ate dinner, and promptly crashed before 10:00 pm. I woke up, wide awake, at 4:02 this morning. I could not get back to sleep because I laid in bed and kept running over in my mind how well everything went. I can’t wait for next month!

As an added perk, it was so great to get to see so many people! At one point we had our own little Flickr Mixr right at our booth even. It was so fabulous. I really, really appreciate everyone who was able to come out and see us, it really made the day even more special.

I’m rambling because I’m so giddy, and my hand is hurting as I have probably done way too much with it this weekend. Time to stop typing, so I will share more tales from today later on. Elaine took photos too, so I will post them when I can get them from her.

Today is the big day! We have a *ton* of prints matted and in bags, and they look GREAT! (By a ton, I mean over 100 in each size, except the 11×14 prints. Only a few of those.) In just a few hours, we will be set up and selling images. It is supposed to be a bit warmer today, and based on yesterday’s temperature it will be perfect as far as the weather. I am so excited! I can barely wait. They look SO good in the mats and ready to go.

If you are in the Houston area, please come to the Yale Street Market and see us! We would love to have a chance to see you and share our work with you. Also, as this is our first show and it is the holiday season, we are offering a holiday special on our 5×7 and 8×10 prints! I’ll be extending it to internet orders once I finish setting up the cart and the website. The calendars are almost ready too.

Did I mention how excited I am?!? Come out for the holiday fun in the Heights! Wassal, live music, festive decorations, and nice weather. Perfect for getting into the holiday spirit!

This morning, it was a lovely November temperature in the mid-70s. Now a cold front has passed through – and it is 45 degrees outside! Yeah! Cold weather just in time for December!

Of course, I doubt that Jason took a coat to school in his PNW waterproof backpack, so it is going to be a brisk walk home from the bus stop for him. I’m glad I didn’t leave for class yet – I have to completely change what I was going to wear. My Fetchings might finally get their time out!

Hand update: for the most part, it is fine. I guess the Band-aid really did the trick. It was feeling a bit strained late last night, so I have the ace wrap on again. The weird rash still hasn’t gone away, which is really odd.

Jason brought home his progress report today for the six weeks grading period. I know have proof that all of our hard work, sweat, tears (both his and mine) and everything else has paid off. Because Jason has an A in Geography. A class that he had a grade much lower than an A in for the first two grading periods. Maybe the fact that I pointed out that summer school was the only option if he failed the class helped? Or the fact that I study with him for every quiz – which isn’t going to work in a few years. Whatever it was, his entire progress report was better. I am tickled pink about the A in Geography though. Seriously giddy.

When I called Mike to tell him, he was honestly speechless for a second.

Now I can only hope that he keeps it up for the next two weeks and does as well at the end of the grading period. I know he can do it, but whether or not he will is a completely different question.
