I’ve checked off most of the stuff on my list.  My stepson carried the heavier boxes downstairs.  I confirmed that the bazaar is in hall E, on the first floor, and that there will be no loading dock or any special area for vendors, so my husband and I will just pull over, dump the stuff from the van, and I’ll wait with it till he gets back, and then we’ll drag it all in.  We’ll plan to be there some time between 8 and 9. 

I was thinking about the eid carnival and suddenly had a spasm thinking that maybe I won’t have enough inventory.  Chill out Ruth!  And go for the donations! 

I’m psyched.  This feels like the next best thing to opening the store.  I hope my optimism proves accurate.
