I've just returned home from a VERY full day! Me and a friend of mine went to a Pride festival about two hours from where I live and set up a vendor booth for the day. We sold my t-shirts, wristbands, teddybears, pride type gifts, etc. Not only did we sell shirts that I had pre-made, but I also did shirts on the spot from out of my catalog (same designs as on my website). This entailed standing over a very hot t-shirt heat press all day and making shirts.
We left my house at 8:00 this morning and I just walked back in the door at 10:30 pm. We got lost both going to the festival and returning home... I have been on the GRAND TOUR of every small, back-road country, little town in Oblivion (which are in no short supply around here). For goodness sakes, at one point we passed through a little town where an actual amish horse and buggy were tied up outside of a convience store :)
All in all, it was a good day. We were busy from start to finish with barely enough time to stop and use the restroom or grab a bite to eat. But, the we made some good pocket money and came home about 70 shirts lighter. Plus, got to listen to a bit of live entertainment thoughout the day and gather a few leads on new wholesale customers.
I'm rambling! And, I need to go take a shower...I smell like a billy goat :) Sorry I didn't even have time to snap any pictures for sharing. More details to come tomorrow.

Me, John and Farrah
I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt that I was part of some strange awards show and not only was I being honored, but also had to present an award to one of the other attendees.
In the dream I was standing backstage when they told me I had to pick whom I would like to give the award to. I glanced down the line of people to be honored and picked the last person standing there. It was John Ritter - but he had this long jet black hair that was in a permed/wavy mullet style (don't ask me...lol) and he was wearing blue jeans with a jean shirt on also (always a bad combination). I went and took my place beside of him and next thing I know, I rambled off some speech about what a great person/actor he was, then I hand him the award. Well, people in the audience were really moved by my speech and gave me a standing ovation. I was sort of confused when I was handed an award also (because I couldn't think of what I was famous for).
Anyway, after the ceremony was over I was backstage at an after party and Farrah Fawcett was hanging ALL over me (not the good 70's Farrah, but the now, weird 00's Farrah). But, Farrah also had short, short, short cropped jet-black hair (again, don't ask me!). Farrah gave me her number and told me to call her later. I really liked that she was hanging on me, but I felt really guilty because I am in love with my real life partner.
The dream went on from there... something about my partner and my son were swimming in the hotel (where the awards show was held) pool. But, the rest of it is really foggy. It was one of those dreams that seemed to last all night and was fresh in my mind this morning when I woke up. I should have written about it right away...lol.
Go figure what the hell this one means! I'd love some dream analysis from my fellow bloggers....

Truthfulness...
"... the truth will make you free."
I happened to see this stenciled on the front of a van (of all places...lol) last Friday. I was immediately struck by it when I saw it. The very randomness and strangeness of seeing it stayed with me throughout the afternoon. But, by Friday evening I had forgotten about it...
Then, like a lightbulb being turned on, the saying hit me again last night in the shower right before bed and it all made sense. I didn't know where this quote came from until I Googled it this morning before starting this post. I was shocked when I saw the whole quote, I guess it just didn't all fit on that van... It's a bible verse (I'm guessing everyone probably knew that but me...lol)
"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
I realize NOW the important role my thoughts about this quote played in my life over the past few days. I did know the truth and I needed to hear it outloud. Once I did hear it, I wasn't angry anymore. Another lesson learned, thank you.
