The "chat" portion of the afternoon was nice. Teri likes to talk family, cooking, life advice -- all the things. After, I was the official picture taker and I enjoyed chatting with people and lots of laughing, etc. 2-1/2 hours of standing taking pictures. And this was one of her small events.
Teri was super nice -- to everyone. At the end of the signing, she gave me a bowl she calls the Patty Bowl after her mom. It's not for sale, available only as something she gives away. She works with a potter and has bowls made (which they sell). I have a salt and pepper small dishes that I use on my cheese tray for jelly, etc. It was unexpected and I LOVE the bowl!!
Funny enough, since I was the last to have my book signed, there was no one to take a picture of us. I took a selfie that was HORRIBLE of me. Oh well - hah.

Today, I am sort of waiting for someone to come over -- maybe, if she shows up. She's an interior designer from Pottery Barn (who recently quit). She helped me with the furniture order and wants to help with the next stage. She's super sweet and generous with her time, but a bit flaky when it comes to commitment. I have a lot of house stuff to do today so I guess it's okay. I am trying to have some time OUT of the house and today feels like another stuck day since she won't give me a time.
I have some fun things planned this week, but already a cancelation. I was set to visit a foster dog who's blind and deaf and catch up with a friend. She has to have dental work done and had to reschedule. I have a feeling the reschedule isn't going to happen based on our schedules the next couple of weeks.
All this to say -- I had a great day yesterday, but am back to feeling the blahs this morning. Crap. I'm going to TO THE THINGS this morning and see if I can grab the good feeling back. Workout, meditation, journalling.
On another note, the podcasts were kind of a bust yesterday. Nothing super interesting to report. Even my beloved Brooke Castillo wasn't pertinent to me (she interviewed her teenager). I listened to Rich Roll interviewing Jesse Itzler and it wasn't great. (I'm still looking for a good interview for Jesse - he's an interesting guy). Rich Roll tends to talk to much about HIMSELF and he's always as cool as the person he's interviewing (or so he likes to tell people). The way he talks "we" makes it seem like he's preaching and "you" aren't like "them." I think I'm over listening to Rich Roll (is that even his real name???).
Grand-dogs are safely returned home and we are back to a family of 4 this week. Two people, two dogs. I told hubby, no entertaining this week. I'm on a break. When I get back to entertaining, I'll try No Crumbs Left cookbook. Her recipes are simple and yummy. Stay tuned ...
First Monday in June (already!!!!). Let's make it a good one (or die trying -- not really, but you get the point). Later gators.
