It should be a busy weekend for me. I have been wondering where I would work. I made the final decision like 10 minutes ago. For this weekend anyway. I got about 5 places I can go, and pretty much get in whenever I want.

I'm gonna be in "Meridian mall" in Okomos Michigan (Lansing really). I called Danny, and although he was reluctant he said he could sell me some of his space (He wants all the space he can get especially at Christmas time, but knows I am an extra helper for his sales). I don't know my fee yet, we will negotiate that. It will be higher, but nowhere near what he has to pay. I just know I have to set up in the morning.

So right now, I have a ton of stuff to get ready. Roxi is watching a movie with her friend. She needs to move her car, so I can load my display. I can wait a few.. that's why I'm writing.

The "chains" we ordered came in today. That was really why I waited to decide. Meridian mall will be the most expensive place. It will be real busy (Right in the food court is where I will be set up)... but if I didn't have supplies, I would've went for a cheaper fee, and still make money either in the store in Owosso (that I have a permanent display in - but go to cut on the spot), or one of the Flea Markets around.

So.. tonight I need to load the displays, charge the drills, and get everything else ready for work.

I just got back from "Craig's". He is like my best friend, known him since 5th grade. He needed help getting his computer fixed, so he came and got me (like 30 miles one way). I did that.. was good to see him. We don't alot now, as don't live close.

Craig's girlfriend is about to have their baby. He is 43, I don't know how old she is. It will be their first. I do worry about him though.. I guess they are fighting all the time now. She's pretty controlling (from what I can see), and he seems "pussy whipped" already (after being together only a short period of time). I don't know.. I hope they stay together, but I doubt they will. Craig lost his wife not long ago to "Liver failure", and he really deserves a good woman. He is a "great guy" really, someone who would do anything for anyone. He isn't the best looking.. but he has a great heart. I just hope all this works out for him.

Ok.. well gotta go.. I won't be here a few days (I will stay with Danny).. so talk to ya when I get back.
