In The Giving Spirit - Days 110-111

Black Friday was spent exactly the way it should be...shopping and eating with Vicky...more eating with Mike and Ryan...and finally a whole lot of baking.  I finished the day around 2:30 a.m. with little desire to write a posting.  In fact, I am still suffering from that lack of desire.  It is a shame because today was a wonderful day full of good things (except the Gators).  I actually began the day with 4 1/2 hours a sleep...more than double my usual pre-market output.  The cookies looked beautiful nestled in their holiday adorned baskets.  In fact the entire booth was decked out in Heartsong holiday finery and looked darn good.  I caught the holiday spirit ealier in the week and it continued at the market.  Traffic was slow as expected, but the customers that did stop by got bonuses.  I threw in extra cookies in their orders.  I gave free cookies to fellow vendors.  I gave free cookies to almost everyone that glanced my way.  It was fun.  Mike and Dennis kidded me about my amazing business sense.  Somehow I still managed to make a little money...enough to cover the cost for the December market rental and lunch with Dennis and Mike.  Cookie millionaireville here I come! 

The giving spirit must be contagious because the Gators were definitely in the giving mood this afternoon.  They gave away the ball four times.  They gave up touchdowns.  They gave out excuses and a sickening feeling to all who love the Gators.  I hope Urban can find a cure for this generous spirit that has affected our beloved team.

Many hugs,
Kathy
