Actually, no. That's not right. Their Majesties decreed that everybody pack down and GIT..and I did ( Read more... )

This has been a..difficult week in many ways. Work has been sheer hell (Jean's been OCD about time this week..and part of last week too, for that matter), Aine's got hives..or at the very least a horrible rash all over, and I've just baked a cake which, after looking at, makes me hear "I'm a baker!" in my mind. It was falsely advertised, this cake ( Read more... )

I know, I know. It's been an age or two since I posted, and tonight's a quiet night to do so ( Read more... )

Got down to Sac around 4 Friday, checked in, unloaded, and began the rest of the handewing. Katrina got there around 7, and around 8ish we went and checked in with Her (then) Majesty Arianwen and strung awards. Got back to the room around 10ish and I finished the clovers on the wavy hem. I ended up almost falling asleep in my chair (remember, I'd ( Read more... )

Have to take a break from sewing. Mind, the sewing part of the hem is about half done. And, btw..if I *EVER* decide to put waves on something, just take me out and shoot me:/ GAH! And, of course, as always, I still have some baking to do tomorrow.
*sigh* All right. Back to it. I'll sleep when I'm dead..lol

all together lovely:) We ate lots of things that weren't good for us (thank gods for Ab Divas!!!), spent time together just hanging out, and generally just enjoyed each other's company. Aine and Moira left quickly yesterday morning, so Aine could catch the bus from Sac to Turlock and had epic fail:( In the hurry, Aine left clothes and Moira left ( Read more... )

I know I haven't posted lately. This isn't the best of times for me, in some ways, with my friend Crimson going from a healthy guy to a stroke to..not with us anynmore, with my friend Gary beginning to receive hospice care, and even the ex had another seizure on Thanksgiving, stopped breathing twice and it's likely his tumor is growing again. So ( Read more... )

In spite of everything (a plugged drain in the site kitchen, having to cook frozen meats (thank all the Powers that Be for electric roasters!), having the microwave trip its circuit not once but over..and over..and *sigh*..over) the feast went really well. I do wish we'd had a second oven, but hey..you can't have everything. Everything that went ( Read more... )

It's an odd sort of day, here. My son's with his girlfriend's family, and Aine's on her way to Quincy with Helga, Haley, Judith, Caleb, and a couple of other people I've not yet met, to have Thanksgiving at Helga's folks. So today, it's me, the cats, the dog, and the chicken ( Read more... )
