So, as you know I haven't been sleeping for like three weeks now - especially this week, leading up to the craft fair at work. Thursday night I clocked in about three hours' sleep (so technically, Friday morning from around 3:30-6:30am...) and got to work at around 8:20, delirious but totally caffeined up - did some work and then set up for the craft fair!!!
I have to take a moment and say that I have really not felt as much a part of a group as I have recently at work. As much as it can drive me a little bats working with a large group of opinionated women, they're so giving and caring, and most of all, supportive of me and of each other. They came and helped me set up, wished me luck, and Jaymie took like a bazillion pictures of my display as well as a totally cheesy one of me sitting with my display table that I will post as soon as it's uploaded.
I did pretty well in sales - there wasn't as much traffic as there was at the holiday craft fair this past winter, but I generated a good amount of interest and made a good chunk of change. And I got my business card out there! So next up I have to build the website and get it up so people can start sending in orders. And then all you non-NY peeps can see what I've been doing!
So then I spent the rest of the day in a daze from lack of sleep, too much caffeine, and a good dose of sugar from a delicious pistachio cupcake I had after lunch.
AND THEN! I left work around 5:30 and walked to Penn Station to catch a train home to Jersey for the weekend. As I'm coming up on the intersection of 32nd Street and Broadway I pass the entrance to the Radisson Hotel and who crosses my path literally a foot in front of me but ZAC AND KATE HANSON!!!!!
The funniest thing is that I recognized her first - she was walking in front of him and I thought to myself, "Hey, that girl kinda looks like Kate... OMG ZAC" and then I stopped, blinked and gasped, and mouthed "Oh my God" as they walked into the hotel.
Then I dropped my bags and called Allison.
I thought about going inside to stalk them, but part of me felt like it seemed better to just leave them be. If I had wanted to say anything, it should have been right as I saw them and something like "Hi Zac - I've been listening to the new music on Hanson.net on repeat for the past week and a half. I love it. Bye!" But now it was kinda past the moment... too bad.
But still! I saw him! On the street! I've dreamed about a moment like that for (you know it's coming) TEN YEARS!!!!
