Yesterday

I did so much stuff yesterday, but it feels like I didn't do anything. I made appointments, picked up stuff, dropped people off at work, deposited stuff, went food shopping, called other people, got an oil change, washed my car, and yet... I still think I missed stuff. Oh well. I get another day off in a week.

We also had another plummer out to look at the gas line. We are one step closer to getting the dryer installed. That will be cool. Although I got fed up and put the washing machine together last night. So I should be anble to at least use half of it today. But Chris says that we have to wait until he gets a wrentch to tighten the spigots. Otherwise we might flood the laundry room. *sigh* I hate waiting.

Did you notice?

I didn't post anything this weekend? Following the logic of I post every time I am at work on the weekend, then... That's right, I didn't work this weekend. Well, at least at the house. I did faire and was a themed character. *sigh* It was so much fun. I really like doing this. I really was thinking that I was about done with faire until this year.

Anyway, I am excited about the new furniture. It looks so pretty. Who knew that a few little peices could make a house better. I also got a surprise phone call from dad. He hasn't called me in ages. It was interesting. And more importantly, my mother in laws birthday and my grandma's are the same!!! What a world.

Is this making sence today? I don't think it is. SO instead of keeping this up, I am off to get an oil change on my car... and by the way, I hit 140,000 miles this weekend!!! Go, little car, go.

Tah.

did you know...

Did you know that you can get blog comment spam? What is the offical word for that anyway?

Here it is nine in the morning, I am eating yellow curry and thinking about not going to my swimming class. Instead I am thinking that since I managed to mess up this mornings schedual by zoning out for about forty five min I should probably just go to bed. Apparently I am tired. And covered in green paint... I painted the laundry room last night. It was fun.

And now I am babbling.

Going to bed.

Now.

WEEK OF FURNITURE

(the title is much funnier if you think of it in an announcer voice, like at a wrestling match)
Anyway, tonight we are getting a washer/dryer set and on Saturday we are getting a sofa, recliner, an end table and coffee table. It's like house in a week or something. I'm so excited. And a whole lot more excited because we are only paying for the washer/dryer and not very much for those. No more Laundromat...*sigh* Just a little piece of heaven.

Now if I could only get those faire songs out of my head, life would be going along great. There is only so far you can go with... All around my hat I will wear a green willow/and all around my hat for twelve months and a day/If anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it/It's all for my true love, who's far far away... stuck in your head. And why is it always the chorus and never the verses? But I digress. I had another fab weekend. Lots of singing, gigging, and basically being silly. My kind of silly. And next week I am Cordelia, and Chris is coming! Yah!

Now I need to get a little more sleep before the big furniture move.

Tah.

This morning

I had a truly awful morning. Two residents decided it would be fun to not follow directions and basically make me angry. Well it worked. And now I really need to get myself a new job. I'm well and truly over the one I have. I was so upset that I didn't really sleep today and now I am looking to a weekend of faire without sleep. Suck.

Anyway, I was just on the faire website and my picture is on the main page now. I look....silly, really. It's a good thing I like looking like a goof-ball. Otherwise I might be upset. I am looking forward to this weekend though. I am working on a fri night so I can camp... ah, the memories I have of tent city. I can't wait to freze my butt off at three in the morning looking for the closest, cleanest priv, the smell of two day old sweat from my garb, or the realization that once again, I have forgotten my pillow. Ah, the memories... *giggle*

More to come...

First weekend

My arm hurts... from carrying too much stuff.
My legs hurt... from ?
My back hurts... from wearing my bodice.
But that was the coolest weekend ever. I should have joined a guild years ago.

When

I came into work yesterday, I saw two members of the local coyote pack.

Then a little farther down I saw a deer. It's kinda cool that I live in a pretty good sized city that still supports that kind of wildlife. One of my favorite things about coming to this house to work is that you never know what kind of animals you will see on the drive in. I love it when the quail run across the road especially when they have babies.

I just realized it's sept 11th. Interesting how I didn't really think about it until just now even though I wrote down my schedule and my time card. Four years ago I was just about to leave for Peace Corps, and then we fell apart.

Hah!

Thought I forgot about this, didn't you! I'll show you....
Actually the internet has been down at home and so, I was forced to wait until I was at work again to write this. And it's all very well and good because I just had a wonderful day at faire! Yah faire! There is nothing quite like opening day. I have now been married three time (under different trees so it is OK) was interviewed for a newspaper (No, I didn't ask which one), made a great pun without knowing it (to a crier who then spread it around the shire), sang a lot, was told by the guild mistress that I was an asset to the group, had two cream puffs, was given a flower, and this was all in one day!!! I hope the rest of the run will be as good.

I also got my rollerblades today! I can't wait until I have time to try them out. So much stuff to do and so little time to do it in.

All I have to do now is keep my mind on work... which means I need to get my butt downstairs and do some laundry and perhaps even clean stuff... I just got so excited by internet that I skipped the working part and went right to the goofing off part. Perhaps I should stop that.

So good night, and I will be back, when the internet is on again.

Tah.

The week behind.

I just spent five min looking for tums. I know they are somewhere in this office, but hiding from me. This is what I get when I work at the house I am not used to. But I guess, if I am meant to have them, I will find them.

I doused my hair in lice solution again too. Not that I really had them, but I beleived I did and so I solved the problem by going pro-active. See, no little buggies hitching a ride on me. I don't suppose they were going to like the chlorene in the swimming pool either, but it doesn't help to be on top of the game a little.

As yes, the swimming pool... classes at Cabrillo started this last week. Swimming is hard again, but what do I expect after no actualt physical excersize in two months. *sigh* I will just have to work my big old butt off. My singing class looks interesting though. She already had us sing for the class alone. It was completely nerve racking, but she did pick a song I already knew which helped me feel a little better. My blood pressure might not survive this class.... Yikes! It's strange how I am totally secure singing with a group, down to two or three people, but put me by myself and I'm terrified. But I did OK. And it's only going to get better, right?

Tomorrow is dress rehersal for faire. I get to be myself all day. And it sounds liek I really am going to get to play two of the daughters. I did pretty well with Cordelia today. The first run through was great, the second, not so good. But passable. Now if I only had time to finish the costume that was supposed to be done for, well today now, I would feel better. But everyone understands that I am buisy. It will be done before next weekend and that is all that really matters.

I talked to Sandy yesterday and I might have convinced her to fly down for faire in Oct. And I got a guild to gate list her. I hope she makes it, it will be great fun.

Alright, here I am, just getting to work and already goofing off. I should really do some actual work before zoning... So tah!
