baaaaaaack...
okay. I am back for real this time. I will write in here at least a couple of times a week. even if nothing exciting or important happens (which is usually the case), I will think of something to say.
Gamesday, wooooo! only 8 days left until to 40k event of the year. I am so excited. a week from today I will be packing for our yearly trip to baltimore. it will be a good time. I have some pretty intense costume work to do this weekend, which is going to be an adventure. I am interested to see how this is going to work out. I am decently sure the answer to that question will be "awesomely", a word I made up just for the occasion. I also have some (okay, a lot) of shopping to do. I think perhaps I will document my day in pictures tomorrow. I intend to do the same thing for the entire Gamesday weekend, but I often intend to do a great deal of things which rarely get done. We shall see.
as far as the shopping is concerned, let's see... I need to buy short pants, since my old ones no longer fit. I want some work clothes suitable for the heat wave we are going to be having. I need to look for chains for the costume, as well as hair dye and make-up. oh, and fabric for the loincloth. and flip flops. I have been on an epic quest for the perfect flip flops, but have been as of yet unsuccessful. I think I am going to have to break down and buy a color that is not black. cuz wal-mart (ewwwwww) has exactly what I am looking for in every color except black. just my luck. maybe brown or white will be okay.
seriously, though. it's supposed to be 103 degrees on monday. it's only the 2nd week of june! this is just silly. I dunno what to do. I certainly don't want to waste the gas to run my car's air conditioner, but I don't wanna die of heat exhaustion either. gah! and boy do I hope there is a sudden cold snap by next saturday. I really don't want to be parading around baltimore in a black long-sleeved body suit covered in leather. with knee high leather boots, no less. our planning failed to take this into consideration. hopefully the excitement of wandering around a major city in costume will be enough to get me through.
