I have some sad news for you. For the next couple days, you are going to have to miss me.
As some (most? all? none?) of you know, I’m a graphic designer for my job. But that’s not all. Sometimes my employer likes to put my sparkling personality and wit to good use. It is then that I get to go work offsite at different events where I trick the general public into thinking that I’m the nicest person on the entire planet.
It’s easy to be super sparkle cheer around people when you spend most of the time working in an office by yourself; completely interrupted for sometimes an entire 8 hour day.
Anyway here’s the part where you’re going to become all Incredible Hulk green with envy. Or maybe it will be more green like this:
Because I’m going to be working at…
THE FARM FAIR!
Now you may be wondering, “Salt, WTF is the Farm Fair? Are there rides and funnel cake?”
To which I would say…”I really have no idea. I sit at a booth all day in 90+ degree heat, chatting with the fellow next to me that sells Gutter Guards, and hopefully will get a chance to go use a portable toilet and grab a pulled pork sandwich at some point. Oh and I think maybe there are pony rides, but not much else.”
Sounds glam, doesn’t it?
This is the second year I’ve done Farm Fair and aside from being itchy and buggy and smelling like cow crap, it’s not so bad. They have fun events like the “Dog Jumping Off a Dock” contest (which is a name that I just made up, but it is basically like dog olympic long jump) and the tractor pull, which I have always steered clear of. Mostly because I’m scared to death that I might enjoy it. Then there will be some sweet barnyard friends such as this guy:

And this guy:

So needless to say, I’m pretty excited to be working at such a magical place. I got my fellow employees some tee shirts made up with a special Farm Fair-tastic graphic that I came up with. Because I’m fussy and mostly hate tee shirts, I had to get myself a little something different. Because what says “Farm Fair” better than…
A Trucker Hat!?
This is just what mine looks like. Aside from this business about loving NKOTB obvs.
Now I just need to figure out what the rest of my outfit should be. Maybe something like this, although I’m on the fence as to how work appropriate it is:

I sincerely hope she’s wearing nylons of some kind because if not, then that is a WICKED sunburn.
I welcome any and all other suggestions that you may have. Hopefully I’ll come back with some fun stories! (Although mostly I think they will just be boring.)
Have you ever been to a Farm Fair? How about a tractor pull? If so, would I love it?









A huge sparkle veiny-faced unicorn (seriously WTF is up with that unicorn’s face?) thanks to all of you for the sweet comments and emails after my head exploded the other day. Things are still going to be a little hectic, but the initial shock and drama of the situation is over. I’ve always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so I’m sure that there is some grand plan in all this for everyone involved.
The shade is called Turquoise & Caicos and OMG how freakin’ appropriate is it that I got married in TURKS & Caicos just this past February!? The love affair between this nail polish and myself was meant to be. Like
