I'm BACK, baby!
Holy crap, is it Monday already?!?!?
Opening weekend of NYRF went very well. I was a little worried, since this is the first time I'll be working full time AND doing faire, but I think I can pull it off.
I sold ninety one roses on Saturday, and made an absoulte KILLING in tips. Over half of my customers tipped me, even 'danes! It rocked!
I was SO SORE afterwards, but I still managed to drag myself out of bed to do it all again Sunday.
Sunday was not as good, rose-wise. I only did sixty four, and Liz beat me. :P It was like "Attack of the Zombie Patrons." I'd try to sell someone a rose, they'd glance at my basket and keep on walking. Seriously, people. Get a dictionary. Look up "audience participation," then come back.
I have no clue how much I made in tips Sunday, because I'm a spaz and I left my money pouch back in the rose garden, and didn't realize until I got home. I'm lucky
euph0ra loves me. She found it and is keeping it safe for me.
I think I might start keeping track of my sales in Excel, because that would be neat. Does anyone know of a computer program that would allow me to make a line graph from data I enter?
It's a little strange this year. There's a lot that's different. The new pub is BEEEEEEEEE-YOU-TEEEE-FUL! Unfortunately, Lunde's looks really sad and lonely, especially without
toosha and
priestesm and the rest of the crazy crew. I MISS YOU GUYS!! Who am I supposed to randomly pop in on when I'm bored now???
Starfire has some especially shiny new limited edition pieces.
aziraphalesshop is the bestest best boyfriend in the multiverse, because he's spending too much money on me and buying me the cresent ladies' dagger, and getting wrapped in purple leather. ::swoon:: Love you baby!
Starr Faerie, the lady who makes my wings, has mysteriously disappeared this year. I NEED new wings, and the ones they're selling back by chessboard, although very pretty, don't look like they'd hold up to the every day rigors of being a rose girl. Fortunately, I got a super-secret lead about a super-secret person from a super-secret friend, and next weekend I shall be acquiring new wings which, according to the super-secret friend, will be absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm excited.
I'm also thinking of new costume pieces. I'm getting a little sick of the whole bodice thing. Moresca makes a half bodice, but I don't want to pay that much for it, considering I only paid seventy five for mine. Liz has one that she doesn't wear anymore, so she's bringing it in next week for me to try on. If it fits, I'm buying it off of her. If not, I'll look into leather. I want to be able to move and breathe better some days, you know?
The back of my hand got sunburnt. Only one hand, though. How annoying is that?
Ahh, well. Lunch is almost over. Back to the grindstone!

You can do it all with just Excel. Put your data table together and then do Insert, Chart and select line graph from the list... the rest it walks you through.

But even though you're sweet and I love you, you're still evil for tempting me with shiny fairy things!

I'm friending you now that I've figured out who you are. Come to the Boar on Saturday and we'll send anonymous roses with random explicit messages just to mess with people.
I really need a hobby.

Given that I'm usually scheduled on weekends, I'm not sure if I'm going to make it up at all this year.
