Went to RenFest last weekend. Going again this weekend. It's awesome. :-)
I didn't buy the like, eight Egyptian statues they were selling that I didn't have... But I did buy a cool Egypt dagger. And a shirt. And a ring. But not a jingly ankle bracelet. I'm gonna hafta make that one.
It's still really hot in Houston. For some reason, this is upsetting me less and less the longer I stay here :-) Although it is a bit weird to wear shorts and tank tops out Christmas shopping.
Family drama is always interesting, and kind of odd. Christmas will be fun, all around. I'm just sayin'.
I am hopelessly behind in my writing. But I caught up a little yesterday. Sort of. We'll see how it goes this week, as we'll have house-guests from Thursday until Tuesday.
I hate NetBeans. With the fiery passion of a thousand suns. No really, I hate it that much. Even more than I hate Internet Explorer. Which is amazing.
And in the end, that's all that really matters, right? (Note: this is not technically a spoiler for anything, since I'm not elaborating on the who or the where or the in what. If you figure it out... that's not my fault).
Update on the lost kitty. He found his parents. Chad had taken him to the vet (on the way back to our house) to check for a chip... no dice. But then our building foreman for our neighborhood said our neighbors down the street had lost a cat... Turns out, the cat rode from our house to JSC (not a short trip!) on top of Chad's spare tire under the truck. Crazy stuff. But he's home now, actually was home a couple of days after we found him, so all is good.
And I found an AWANA program here, and am the newest Cubbie leader there. Yay for 3 & 4 year olds! And being given an excuse to sing Father Abraham, and other silly children's songs, at least once a week.
And pumpkin seeds. Yay for pumpkin seeds, too.
Reminder: RenFest is fast approaching. We only have one spare bed and an air mattress... so reserve space at our house early (& often. Like voting!) :-)
Mark your calendars! The Texas RenFest website is up and running for the year... if any of y'all end up in Houston any of those weekends, let me know. I'll totally be looking for an excuse to go as often as possible. :-)
Awesome weekend This has been an awesome weekend. And it's only Sunday morning.
We went to RenFest yesterday, with Em and Alex... had a blast. And although I may be forever warped by some of the things I saw there (Chainmail bikinis should be a privledge, not a right!)... I am probably going back next weekend with Krys and Manda.
I bought a corset. Which I will wear next weekend. And might wear to the Evanescence concert, too. We'll see. Hopefully, I'll get some pictures next weekend (too busy goofing off to take pictures this weekend).
Meanwhile, I have to go and clean and go shopping and stuff so that I can dye my hair tomorrow, and so that the house will be at least marginally acceptable by the time company comes on Friday (or around then).
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
