And he's back

Hey Ya'll,

I made it back from Hotlanta, safe and sound. I can't even begin to explain to you my travel experience on Greyhound (that's right, Greyhound). I have a severe fear of flying (which i'm going to force myself to get over after this experience) so i took the bus. The security is so lapsed in the bus station, i knew that i would be able to bring my sewing stuff and work on more product for what i thought would be a 19 hour ride (time flies if you're listening to music, reading, sleeping, etc.) but turned into the 24 hour ride from underneath hell. What was supposed to be a straight thru bus turned into a tourist trap for the passengers. Every beaver, racoon, bear and horse must've said hello as we rode thru one tumbleweed town after another and don't get me started about the people on the bus, i have never, ever, ever, ever in my long-legged life seen so much reynolds wrap, bobby pins (coming out of the hair, into the ear and back into the hair), girls with weaves that made them look as if they were appearing in hair shows and cell phone conversations that went something like this, Caller: you miss me (full volume)
Callee: you took my chicken
Caller: naw! Bitch i ain't take no chicken
Callee: kay boo, love ya, call me lata
Caller: Love ya too, get my cigarettes
AAAARRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! i wanted take my sewing needle and stick myself in the eye and hoped that it would damage my ears so i wouldn't have to hear anymore. Once in Atlanta, I paid my vendors fee, found my booth and set-up shop. Sales on Saturday and Sunday were okay but i did better last year although i think the product is much better this year, traffic wasn't as heavy this year but you always meet interesting people and sometimes come away with orders (which i did) so i guess that alone make it worth it. Well until next time...

Bye.
