First of all, a brand new listing in our shop.  Always exciting!

I just need to take a minute to expound on the end goal of everything we are doing now. Yes, it would be moving to the Valley. 

I spent all day trying to write but had very little success.  When it goes well it is the best feeling in the entire world and when it is bad there is nothing worse.  Melina worked on photos and I get the impression she was pretty blah after the shoot.  So overall, not a fantastic day.  

Just found out there are some problems leaving comments.  We're looking into it as I type!

I can't stop thinking about something I saw on CBC Sunday Morning about a week ago.  And no, I'm not up on Sunday morning for fun.  I work at noon on Sundays hence the up-ness early enough to catch the show.  Anyway, they were talking about the economic crisis and saying how this is actually a fabulous opportunity for consumers to change the way the world looks.  Every dollar spent has become incredibly important.  With large block stores finding it harder to cope a conscious effort by consumers to shop with independent retailers could change the whole retail landscape.  Main street could come back.  Is that thought not just amazingly exciting or am I just focussing on a minor detail?  Fixations like that are a hazard of having no life!  :)

I love the new template!  Woo hoo!!!

Had a great dinner at our friends' Steve and Bryn's house this past Saturday.  Yummy vegan crepes with dill/horseradish sauce.  So good!  Apparently the recipe came from the book 'The Voluptuous Vegan', which now I feel I must have.  It was also the first time seeing their new house, which just cemented the need for both Melina and I to realize the dream of living in the country.   Somewhere in the Annapolis Valley, around Blomidon.  *sigh*

That's right.  The last day of what has turned out to be the anti-vacation.  So much time spent setting up the shop that we have barely left the house.  I don't know how Melina feels but I definitely think we did a great job.  We still have to work on pics and list one more item but man, when I think of where we were at the start of this week I can't help but pat both of us on the back!!  I guess I'm grading on a curve.

Vacation should not be tiring but we have put so much time into getting the shop set up that this has been far from relaxation time!  Only a couple of things left to list, a few photos left to take.  What's getting me through is the thought of why we are doing this.  I will have that life I see in my head, damn it!!

We here at moodyandsanguine actually have the store finally up and running. Wow, taking the photos was a marathon and I can't believe I still need to do more. Maybe one day I'll be good at it?
