Sapphire, etc

May 30, 2010 07:13

 So I went to Sapphire yesterday.  The weather wasn't too awful...it was hot, but there were clouds sometimes so it wasn't all day oppressive like it can be.  I MoL'ed the youth armored..it was very nifty to watch from so close.  Then dinner with friends that kept me laughing.  We had a spunky awesome server who kept us giggling with her commentary.

Ok, so I remember when this tourney was Diamond Joust.  then Emerald Joust.  The tradition was set up that every 10 years the name would change to another precious stone.  Then it changed to Sapphire Joust.  This was Sapphire Joust 11.  Wait, what happened to changing the name?  Sigh. Half the time I call it Emerald still because I forget, but still...a tradition is a tradition.

And yesterday I kept saying things wrong and calling people the wrong names, which is so unlike me.  It was almost like I was sleep deprived, but I wasn't.  Ah, well, I came home loaded down with lots of fabric...10 yards of linen for me, and 10 for a project as a gift.  And a nifty knitted pouch.  And a few little odds and ends.  Didn't fight at all.  Trying to get out of garb at the end of the day when  hot and sweaty and between cars in the parking lot because the troll building was closed,  was interesting,  Thankfully my friend Branwen was there to help pull  with both hands, otherwise I would have been stuck with my dress half over my head and my arms pinned.  That would have been embarassing.

So today is clean the house and get errands run, John  comes home tomorrow!  yay!  2 months doesn't sound like a long time, but it is.  It will be good to have him home.
