This is going to be a long weekend...
So, as most of you know, I am going to a Renaissance fair this weekend. There were lots of complications with that.
First of all, I left the planning to Chloe. And I love the girl, but her planning skills are crap. A lot of maybes. A lot of last minute stuff. And so that was my first mistake. As far as making my costume. A sinch, no problem. It is actually really cute. I have to find my camera to bring with me and show you all. IT'S AWESOME!!! But everything else was really willy nilly.
First of all, we were going to go today. Leave Friday, spend all day at the fair Saturday, and come home Sunday. That got moved up by one day. Which meant I had to call my grandma and beg her to let us stay the weekend.
Then our driver, her boyfriend, double booked himself and suddenly we had to find a car. Guess what? I can drive! So guess who is driving. ME! Not that big of a deal except I'm worried the car is going to break and I'm going to get stuck. But I just got an oil change so... cross your fingers?
Then suddenly Chloe says, "Oh yeah, we can stay at my dad's new girlfriend's house on Saturday, but we will still need a place to crash Sunday. Is that okay?" Umm... no... I know that was the original plan, but... who is this woman? Is she crazy like all of the other women in his life? But fine, okay. You have your way if you want. BUT!!! I'm not staying and you need to find your own way to the fair in the morning.
Never mind that instead of driving a mere 45 minutes tonight, I will be driving for almost a straight hour and a half. That's hard when it's dusk.
Oh yeah... there is that too.
I've been moving all day long. I'm exhausted. She knew I would be. I had originally planned to sleep all the way down, but now I'm driving. And today was the day where we moved everything, not just kamikaze packed the rest of the house.
And she's been putting things on me and changing plans and we are leaving tonight at 6:30. which means... I won't get in to grandma's until 8 if I don't get lost. That is really late considering how early I was up this morning.
As dad put it, "she better be begging at your fucking feet. If I were in your shoes I would just say, 'No Chloe I am driving and this is what we are doing. Find your own way to Maple Valley. I'm going to Fed Way.' I'm a little inclined to believe him, but for now I'll just say this...
Wow am I a good friend to her.
Long story short. I am not going to spend any time this weekend writing or being on DW or LJ. The only one who will here from me will probably be Bri. So have a good weekend everyone. I hope to be able to tell you all sorts of fun things by next Monday.
