In case I've not mentioned it lately, I'm a lucky girl
Okay, so my last posting was rather a sad one. Thank all of you again for your emotional support. I got me some great friends in you all.
So..on to the point. (Yep..that's meee.. being direct)
Things were kind of going south here financially for a while there and it was starting to seriously look like we would have to cancel our trip to ReaperCon. While I don't ordinarily worry much about money, especially money that's to be spent on things that are not necessities, I was feeling pretty down about that. It's been a delicate balancing act keeping our bills paid and helping Stephanie with those little emergencies that invariably come up when one is a college student. It hasn't been easy, but we've done it. Steve likes to joke that he "pulled some money from thin air".
Well...he's good that way. Today our boss offered both of us some overtime pay to work tonight. I was going to stay too, but another lady who works there needed the money even more than I do. Steve, however, stayed. When he gets home tonight he will have worked seventeen hours straight..with no lunchbreaks.
He told me to be waiting for him..and we'd go on one of our famous "midnight picnics".
It's been a while since I've talked about orcs, hasn't it.
Well... here comes your fix!
First.. I think I have decided I want to enter the tournament at ReaperCon this year. The format sounds MUCH more funner than last year's...and what with the new rules changes, I might actually have a chance.
Second... y'all brace yerselves, 'kay? .... I'm going to enter the PAINT competition. Mind you I am totally psychologically prepared to finish in last place. It'd not be the first time nor will it likely be the last..but dammit.. SOMEBODY has to represent the orcs!
Third.... the story I promised is still coming. Like I mentioned earlier it's been a crazy few months..but I'm still working at it.
So.. I don't know when I'll be posting in here again. Next time I just MIIIGHT have some RCon pics to show off.
Until then, y'all take care!
