.....and I think the weather won.  We got dust-stormed, wind-stormed and rain-stormed in that sequence a little ways into the main battle. I pulled out a day early and got in yesterday evening.  Am wandering around haplessly in my pajamas this morning, grateful to be warm and dry.  It was a lovely war up until the weather got us, though; I worked ( Read more... )

 Woke up this morning with Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin playing on a kind of continuous loop in my head, full stereo from ear to ear.  Normally I am anything but fond of earworms, but... back when I was in high school, this was my I-Am-In-A-Good-Mood-Bouncing-Off-The-Walls song, so it's kind of nice.  ^__^

Am all packed for Estrella War; now all I ( Read more... )

 Hello, all... Got back earlier today from Estrella War, and OMG am I exhausted.  I rolled back into Tucson aching, filthy and with a car-full of dirty camping-gear and blankets, as well as a lot of very happy memories.  I'll post more thoroughly later, but stuff that happened at the war included ( Read more... )

Gods, long week, and now it's Sunday and I have work again tomorrow. Plan on going on ONE little vacation, and four (no exaggeration) Extra!Speshul!Rush!Projects! fall into your lap.  AAARGH! But I do need to post a catch-up entry, so here it is.

Oh man, do I need a nap.  Moar sleep, pleez; i haz a tired.

Good day yesterday; I went to the Mons Tonitrus Arts & Sciences Competition down south in Sierra Vista and worked my arse off all day, judging and judging and judging.  The dues you pay for being a Laurel and all that.  Went to the Southern Crusades staff meeting; turns out I *AM* ( Read more... )

**YAAAAAAAAAAAWN** Right, right, I'm UP okay?  Man, it's just too damn early for it to be this time in the morning... Need caffeine.  Badly.

Almost ready to head out to Estrella, but I won't actually be leaving 'til Thursday morning.  Got today and tomorrow still at work (OMG SO MUCH TO DO @_@  AAAAAAGH), got some cleaning to get done, got more ( Read more... )

SATURDAY:  Polling-day for the Barony of Tir Ysgithr and the Tourney of the Trees, which sounds interesting.  I'm looking forward to it; polling-day has a lot of nostalgia to it for me, and oh my dear GODS I just realized that my ex is supposed to move back this or next month so he might be there, AAAAAAAAAAGH.   Well, WTF.  If he is, I'll just ( Read more... )

Happy Labor Day, all, now that it's almost over...  Didn't do much today; I had it off from work, thank the gods.  Did a lot of nothing much, just lazing about while laundry ran, watched the rest of Sleepy Hollow (mmm, Johnny Depp, om nom nom), napped, knitted bunches...  A good day of relaxation.

But!  I did finally manage to get my set of Southern ( Read more... )

^__^  Had a GREAT time on Saturday at Dragon's Hoarde; I've always loved this event, but considering the weather (threatening rain and delivering it on occasion all day long) didn't expect to enjoy myself as much as I did.  But I had a blast; I spent most of the day beneath the main tent (the 'Pig') knitting and jabbering with a bunch of ladies who ( Read more... )

PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND.  No, I didn't get a chunk of stuff I wanted done (like finishing the ferret room) but I grocery-shopped and paid bills and knitted my fingers off (still gloating about turning the heel; now on Sock #2 'cause I'm doing 'em both at the same time from two matching balls of yarn).

Also, I made these:
