Zinga and Taboo are both in heat and they couldn't have had better timing if they tried!! Our regular shows are done for the season starting today, we have a three week break until school shows start. Couldn't have been more perfect! Only bummer was that I was planning on getting taboo spayed during our break but I guess that will have to wait.
Ottawa Pet Expo happened this weekend.
Oh man.
So many visitors, so many product sales, and so many compliments! The best was the people who assumed that more than one person was doing the art. When they found out it was just me, jaws dropped and my work ethic was heavily praised. Very very humbling and nice.
Lots of old friends and colleagues were there too. It's like a weird little Ottawa pet industry reunion, haha. Lots of fun and again, a lot of folks praising my success. So humbling.
JessLough was with me as usual, and as usual she rocked it. She handled all of my sales transactions (she is very good with money; I am not) which allowed me to keep chatting up customers. She also rocked the booth while I stepped away for breaks and helped me tear down last night in record time. So lucky to have her as a friend.
I have to do all of my inventory, sales records and cataloguing today, and I'm actually excited about it. Super successful weekend. I am warm and fuzzy.

1. SNOW
2. I called the store and inquired about third party emailing me. Because I ultimately decided that this was the best way to confirm if they are hiring or it is a phishing scam. Thankfully, despite scummy third party sourced out of India, it is, in fact, real and I have an interview this week.
3. They asked what my minimum pay requirement was. I said over $9. They offered $10.50. Score.
4. Finished Shadows of Mordor. Might just play it again. Reasons.
5. Raspberry Brown Ale
6. Hot chocolate
7. Fuzzy socks.
8. Good Eats with Alton Brown on Netflix.
