In 12 days I will be leaving for LA, I am so not ready for this trip. I mean sure I have my dress (and a backup, just in case), but I still need to do something about my hair, pack, get supplies for the roadtrip, plot the route (taking into consideration the street closings), figure out what we're going to do on Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday afternoon, etc., etc. Now I do realize that I personally don't have to do all this, but I'm a control freak so bear with me while I run around waving my hands in the air and florning for a bit.
There, all better now.
Friday evening was fun, even if I sort of sank down into the floor and zoned out for portions of it. Damn I hate nasty headcolds that knock me on my ass. Thank the gods for Aleve and caffeine, they were the only two things keeping me going that night. On the plus side my character created a fun new toy, "Bloaty", the long dead, slimey, water-soaked corpse/puppet. And so help me, the next time this intrepid band of adventurers follows a certain Sidhe into a certain series of sewars after some strange lady, my character's going to go all medieval on their asses.
Saturday was as productive a day as could be, got my one bank account closed (can you believe they charged me $6 for a bank check? fuckers), the money safely tucked into my new account, and while down in the SJ area, I hit my favorite Goodwill ever. Just so happens they were having this incredible sale, everything was $3 so I got a lavendar evening gown I'd quite liked (Empire waisted, though, so not really well suited to my body type...damn), a nice sweater jacket, and a teal Shark's jacket that I'd quite coveted for some time. Go me! Then zoomed home and did all of my yardwork, including gleefully dispersing some praying mantis egg pods (yay unleashing green death!), mowing front and back, trimming the bushes into submission, planting some strawberry seedlings, repotting my rose plant outside, and uncovering a secret rebel snail population. I'll have none of that, thank you very much. I felt all Moff Tarken, "You may fire when ready." as I laid waste to them.
We also discovered that Tuesday a local group that helps the mentally challenged is going to do a truck pickup of all items our neighborhood would care to donate. They wanted clothes so I went through my closets and bagged up anything I hadn't worn in more than a year. Out it went, allowing me all kinds of new space to hang stuff in, which in turn made me feel a little less guilty about the Goodwill splurge *G*
Then curled up and watched "Erik the Viking" while working on a new drawing. Yeah, another Frodo. I kinda like it, but I need to give myself a few days away from it and then look at it again. If I still like if ater that it's probably ok.
Sunday was class:
( Dance-related, you have been warned )
Sunday also included another trip to Goodwill (ooh, nice silky purple pants and a lovely wine-colored sweater), checking out the seedlings and giving them some nice water, playing with the kitty, and the housemate and I zonking out for a while before it was time for Horatio. Really enjoying that series, and was utterly delighted by the return of Mr. Kennedy in the first of last evening's episodes. Ahh the slash possibilities are downright endless with those two. Also managed to finish up my sister's blanket, which may free me up to make a wrap for myself for the One Party. We shall see. Now I wait for the yarn shipment from Herschener's to finish up the final afghan I owe, then at last I can work on one for myself. Woo!
( Slightly political, don't worry, it's not too scary... )
