ANDLETMETELLYOUANOTHERTHING!

So, another ScrapFest! is over and soon I'll begin the website revamp to start getting ready for the September event.  It was a very cold weekend.  I was getting over bronchitis, had just gotten my voice back in time to be Mistress of Ceremonies, and now I'm coughing again.  Yea me!  Of course, I'm an idiot, and didn't bring my inhaler, so that didn't help Saturday night when we were loading up the vehicles in the cold (thanks to Frugal Beth, Sarah, and Michele who mostly loaded my car).  My car had ice on it at 1am.  It was cold, people.  And I literally sold the hoodie off my back.  Last September, I designed hoodies that we sold and of course I'd left mine at the house.  On Thursday I wore a jean jacket.  Friday I didn't wear a jacket and froze, so I pulled a hoodie off the pile and wore it that evening and wore it home because it was so dang cold.  So, Saturday night, one of our fabulous croppers asks if we have any 2x hoodies left, and I say, "well, honestly, the only one we have is the one I was wearing last night, but I promise I only wore it last night because I was freezing to death."  She said she'd take it.  That's right, people, I will sell the hoodie off my back.  

That's the ScrapFest! wrap-up.  Oh, and I ran off some skate-punk teenagers who walked into the Castine Center with skateboards under their arms.  They said they were looking for concessions.  Oh, and some guy came in and asked if I knew anything about the dance party.  ANSWER: hell yeah!  Break out the disco ball, baby!

Other things going on in Kerryworld are:  

• I'm currently trying to be suckered into a massive project I've already turned down once.  This time the party doing the asking has gotten my hubs involved, asking him to ask me.  LIKE THAT WILL WORK! HA!  I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!  
• I am taking on another project because I was clearly drunk on cough medicine when I agreed to said project.  Note to friends: hit Kerry up for stuff when she's sick!  Kidding.
• I bought a keyboard that will not work on a Mac when I was drunk on cough medicine.  Note to self: do not shop online while sick.
• I think a certain Etsy seller is holding one of my purchases hostage.  I am not positive, but we have had a lot of communication back and forth and finally she says she mailed it Saturday.  It has been two months since I ordered the item.  We shall see.  
• For very different reasons, I've been disappointed in a few people lately.  My feelings have been hurt and I'm not sure what can be done to remedy the problem except for letting time pass.  Time takes time.  But what I want to do is say something very different.  What I want to say is in the words of Morrissey, "nothing's changed, I still love you, oh, I still love you only slightly less than I used to."  You know, or something like that.  There are things I would like to say that I can't say.  I would like to yell "ANDLETMETELLYOUANOTHERTHING!"  But I can't.  And the thing is that the people who have hurt me probably don't realize their trespasses.  But they should.  If it were me, I would have.  But then again, I have feelings.  

And so, that's it for tonight.  I'm taking a a week or so off now that ScrapFest! is over before I start the site. Who knows what's next.  I thought I'd let you know what I'm listening to right now, something I'm finding a little solace in.  Ingrid Michaelson reminds me a little of one of my faves, Regina Spektor.  This song is called "Keep Breathing," and I first heard it on Grey's Anatomy.  

This one is "Be OK" and it's just how I feel.  So, thanks Ingrid.  

This isn't a real Tunes Tuesday post, but do yourself a favor and go get Ingrid's album Girls and Boys and these two songs from Be OK.  She's a great young singer/songwriter and is indie and supergood.
