Champaign, OH: You Really Got Me!
Yeah, you really got me now…
You got me so I don’t know what I’m doin’ now…
Oh yeah, you really got me now…
You got me so I can’t sleep at night…
(The Kinks…You Really Got Me)
So, can you feel the excitement of this market, this week? Maybe not. But, I can tell you from behind the scenes…it is a rock and roll frenzy of orders and numbers!!! You all TOTALLY have got me going!!! We still have until 10pm, tonight, and are on the brink of breaking all market records in our almost three years of being online!!!
Excitement…it’s what I live for, it’s what I love, it’s what I like to see!!
I was feeling this Kinks song, this morning, as I was looking through the market numbers. It reminded me of a long time ago, back when I was the queen of planning house parties. The kind of college house parties that rocked the houses, music blaring at all levels, bodies packed into every corner, stair steps, back and front porches. House parties that got your whole excitement level on overdrive.
I remember one such party. We planned to feature music by The Doors and The Kinks. We made special house party beverages, we assured the landlord and neighbors that it would be a quiet, peaceful affair. But, as most of our house parties ended up, we had too many people, too much noise, too much dancing, too much fun. But isn’t that what it’s all about?
You see, I am all about starting out on the easy going, let’s see where this will take us, side. But, as I see the momentum building, the excitement mounting, I become that crazy house party girl all over again!! It’s like I can’t help myself…I feel like it just needs to keep going, keep hitting crazy levels, until you have achieved yet another house party epic tale. Or, in the case of this little local market of love…rocking this local house party until we have crashed through the market roof!!
I will be monitoring, all day!! I will report in as the numbers skyrocket!! Get those orders in so we can have the fun of the reports of crazy numbers!! It will be fun and make the day so exciting for all of us!!
You really got me…now, let’s blow the roof off this market party!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

In yesterday’s ‘Bits and Bites’, I erroneously suggested putting your Bread in the refrigerator. It should have said ‘freezer’! (Boy was I in trouble with Dabrielle — putting it in the fridge will dry it out!)
