The Rennaissance Faire was fun, as usual, even if it was a rainy, grey day when we went. Fortunately, it was only drizzling, and the muddiness and puddles were kept to a minimum. I brought a pair of Nike flats that look like ballet slippers and they got totally muddied, but this is okay, for they are old shoes anyway. We didn't go to many of the ( Read more... )

I am so tired I want to dieI don't really have much of a reason to be this tired. Yes, I slept on-and-off last night, but I should have about seven hours of sleep under my belt. I'm thinking it's the sudden switch from going to bed at the asscrack of dawn and waking up at about eleven PM, to going to bed at ten-thirty and waking up at around seven ( Read more... )
