Busy Weekend
Attempting to get geared up for CMA Beltane in less than 2 weeks. kerrianic is getting her stuff moved in, and the cats are over as well as the dog. Only bad thing is that we may be gearing up for a flea war soon. :( I hate being allergic to fleas.
We have decided since we were the only 2 who really enjoyed camping in the first place we are going to condense our stuffs to save some space. We went and got one of those really huge Jeep tents (which is kinda scary considering we both drive Jeep vehicles). Got a queen size "bed on stilts" since I am the only one in the bed now (unless I get company), and new sheets to fit, and even more fun we got one of those portable fireboxes. It's not a chimnea, but more like a fire bowl, only square. It's very nice, and even came with a grill and a cover for it. I think the coven will get a lot of use out of this little appliance. :)
I sold my old blue tent and king mattress to my covenmates, and I think everyone was pretty much pleased all the way around. They got bigger camping stuffs, I got a bit of cash, and rid of my two huge tent boxes so it was all good! With a little luck, we may actually be able to fit our stuff in the 2 Jeeps and not need a trailer! *woo hoo!* I have to admit tho, I really miss the Sequoia right about now. On a slightly bad note, we may have to finally replace my Mom's old red cooler. It started leaking the last time we used it, and I need to check it for cracks.
Sunday wasn't as good, but was still quite nice. I went to a baby shower for a friend's daughter. Just an fyi, I hate going to these. It isn't that I don't want to celebrate someone's impending birth of their child, it's that it brings to the surface emotions that I try not to deal with if I don't have to. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that children just aren't meant to be for me. It still hurts to think about how long J and I tried to have kids, which only dredges up the whole thing with him, which I try not to think about unless necessary. I am slowly coming to the realization that I actually kinda like not having little ones as well. I have more freedom to do things without them. Plus I have several friends with munchkins who have sort of adopted me as "Aunt Pixie", which works just fine for me.
Got home from the shower feeling rather yucky. I hate it when the time changes! The coven did their beads while I was "showering", and they discovered I need new paints. We had a very nice ritual, although the day's activities combined with washing the camp dishes the day before has left the kitchen in a small state of disaster. We'll get it cleared up though.
Here's hoping everyone else had a good and/or productive weekend!
