2 Hours at the Ren Fest is Better than None.

After trying unsuccessfully to get Kevin to accompany me to the Renaissance Festival of the Midlands, I went by myself *gasp*, I know this is odd, but it was probably good for me to do. Besides, I figured I would know a few people there because heck all my friends are geeks.

It turned out I only knew a few people there. Two dancers, Anne and Kate who were, when I got there, officiating a maypole. I took a few pictures with my phone, of Kate and Anne, notice my finger in the one picture. Kate insisted on posing to show off her clothes, or lack there of. Check 'em out 2005 Ren Fest

I went to get something to eat and ended up having a gyros, because Greek people were famously part of the scene in England during the renaissance. Drench the Wench is always entertaining, and the particular wench on the board was very good at insulting the males who sucked at hitting the target. I did a little shopping, of the look-see variety, nothing struck my fancy.

I also saw my neighbors who do just about everything at Ren Fests, but I don't have the name of their group or website, or I would be propping them right now.

Lack of Motivation

You know you are feeling way under motivated when you are so proud that you managed to get a load of laundry done.

I'm really thinking pretty hard about bidding back onto night shift... don't lose me here... it's because I'm out of vacation. This makes great sense to me, but not to anyone else... I just want to have a weekday off of work.

Blogging is good therapy, but you can only say so much because your friends read them, so if you have a particular whine about a particular something, it can't be particularly said. I was thinking about this because of an exceptionally vague posting by one of the dancers, Anne.

I meet so many cool people dancing, I pretty much end up feeling like a boring dolt, with no real interests in life, except golf and dancing. Anne would be one of the people I've met just like that... but I can easily think of a half dozen people without much effort who do amazing things. It causes me to re-examine my priorities, and as always, there is one thing I do that is no where on my list of things I want to do... work :-(

So it's Thursday and I am home with Cherokee. Kevin is gone. It's supposed to be stormy. I have plenty I can do, and not much will to get to it...

I am surprised people haven't comment more on my age thing below.

It's Curtains for Me

I am one of those people who likes it dark when I sleep. Really dark. The small bedroom was fairly nice, back of the house, blinds, small windows, and dark curtains. So what if you have the occasional broken toe tripping over something in the middle of the night.

Kevin moved in and I went to the front bedroom... front of the house, no trees, no blinds, big windows, light curtains. Napping was next to impossible, especially in the middle of the day. So I got blinds and played the curtain switch-a-roo game. Now I have the dark curtains, the living room gets the light curtains, and Kevin gets some curtains that were in storage. ta da! Everyone is happy, well I am, and that's the point.

In other news, there is no other news.

What I am reading: The ENSO discussion on on the National Weather Service site.
What I am listening to: The Cubs - Blue Jays game on the TV.
What I am recommending: Making tall grass short.

Cleans Up Well

I went to Danielle & James wedding today. I clean up pretty well I think.



I will post more on the wedding later, and more pictures some day soon.

Another Busy Weekend

I thought these things were supposed to be relaxing. It should be no wonder that I take vacation just to sleep, I need it. I am thinking I am just a little too tired from dancing tonight to really make a good posting, but here is what you get!

I've tried to eliminate the things in life that I don't have to do, and the one thing that keeps coming up as a huge waste of my time is work. I'd get so much more accomplished if I didn't have to do that.

Here is a shock, I took a quiz that said "what age do you act"? I thought I might get a few years older, but:

You Are 22 Years Old

22 --Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. --13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. --20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. --30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! --40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
