Pricing Advice Needed!
So, I'm vending the Lakewood Renaissance Faireon the 17th & 18th.
I'm tweaking prices a little bit, and wanted some opinions.
My lotion candles have been going very well. The concept has been gaining in popularity; I saw two booths selling them at the NY Renaissance Faire this year-- for far more than I charge! Which got me thinking-- what would ( Read more... ) -

Keeping busy, keeping busy.
I never really did a huge overview of Busch Gardens, but the rides were great. Alpengeist was, in fact, just about as fun as my 6th-grade-self remembered it being. Griffon was a blast, too-- the drop has way much anticipation built in. Apollo's Chariot was pretty good; reminded me of Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure, ( Read more... ) -
zomg bad_riding
Omg. I just saw Warhorse on Broadway. SUCH bad_riding. I mean, there was a WHOLE sequence where the kid taught the horse to rear!!!!111 SO DANGEROUS!! And those horses were like, definitely emaciated-- I could see right through them. And NONE of the people wore helmets, except, like, the German soldiers, and they weren't even the ones riding.

YAY!
Well. I have returned!
Some people probably thought I was absolutely mad for driving down to Virginia with Hurricane Irene frolicking about, but hey. I figured that if all went well, the park would be nearly-deserted because of the storm on Friday, and lines would be non-existent.
Well...
I was totally right.
We had a fantastic time, went on as ( Read more... ) -
The Busch Gardens Hurricane Saga
I am steadfastly checking the weather. As of now, Friday only has a 30% chance for rain in Williamsburg. "Tropical Storm Conditions are Possible" for Saturday, when we'd be driving back, but... well, I've driven in some bad weather, and worst case scenario, we find somewhere to wait it out or something.
I am ignoring the panic-- I feel like half ( Read more... ) -

This will be me:

Saddle and Life and Stuff
So, fitter okayed the saddle, woohoo! He actually ended up using his vice to make the extra-wide gullet thingy wider. Also, the man worked in pretty challenging conditions-- it was pouring, and so we had only the really limited space of the tack area since we do not have a barn with fancy crossties and such. (Haha, the things you end up finding ( Read more... ) -

Had a nice ride on Sarge today, aside from when some yearling colts tried to hump us from across a fence.
Loving this saddle, so I hope the fitter says the fit is good.
Been eating well yesterday & today-- been tracking my calories and exercise for a few months now, and for once, instead of craving everything unhealthy, I haven't been all that ( Read more... )
