So how goes the weekend?Follow

I'm off to get fishies and aquire a pair of 750gb hard drives, What's everyone else up to? it's rainy and kind of blah here today other than that.

I'm hopeing to get one of the zebra lace style angle fishy ones to replace the white anglefish that is now an angle anglefish.

We had the house inspection yesterday which went flawlessly. Eldest son is at grandmas this weekend, along with the dog. It's quiet and eerie here without them, but relaxing too.
I spent this morning hauling out large toys and other odds and ends we no longer use and driving them to the Salvation Army. I had Sick go through his side of the closet to decide what he is bringing and what is being trashed. i chuckle at the thought it took me a mere 30 minutes to go through all of my stuff (which really is not much) and it took him 3 hours. Of course 90 minutes of that was him going through his baseball collection stuff he hasn't touched since he was 19.

I took down pictures in our hallways, and I still have games to pack. But I'm exhausted so before I do that I'm going to chill a little bit. Tomorrow is the house appraisal and the P&S will be signed by Wed. 3.5 weeks to go

Dracoid away at University. Noblet away at his Mom's.

Finished tidying up me new gaming PC. Old one was happy with Vista but not this baby, so cleaned it and put fresh Windoze XP on it.

Now running LoTRO on 'Ultra High' settings. Everything maxed and not a hint of lag. Just need to tweak the sound card to get voice chat working more smoothly and I'm happy. The graphics are the best of any game I've ever seen.

As a UK player in a US Kinship, time zones mean I don't get to group much, which is fine for farming nodes when the septics are all asleep, but this weekend did some major questing with Kitca & Yanari and other Alla Guildies.

So basically, a bit of geeking and plenty of gaming. All good.

A busy weekend here. I worked out a few times, took Mia swimming and pumpkin patchin', did chores and shopped. I'm tired and I'm enjoying this brewski.

Yay!

I', glad it is now almost over. Today was one of my nieces wedding and they had the ceremony at the Maryland Renaissance Fair. One of my daughter has a season pass and more garb then she could wear in one season, yet she felt she had to have a new chemise, while I wanted to make a new skirt to wear with my bodice. So last Thursday we headed to the fabric store. I ended up teaching her how to sew and we somehow finish everything last night.

We had to get up at dawn, to get ready and meet family at the fair. Turns out we we're the first one there. I got to the chapel and then remembered the batteries for our camera were still at daughter's. Now I have to bug my brother to email me some. Jonwin was only guy there in a kilt, it turns out. My brother and in-laws just were that brave, but Jonwin works as an US Sailor stuck forever, on March 10th 1862. (Day before the USS Constellation set sail)

Ii was a small Irish wedding, plan on short notice so the bride would still be able to fit in her dress. By time I was ready to leave my nephew was drinking a full pitcher of beer. No sissy little glass for him.

Somehow I still can walk upright. I have a large bruise on one knee from running around like a headless chicken for 5 days. I don't think I could have done it, if last Tuesday hadn't felt like Christmas morning, while going though my mother's collection of sewing supplies, vintage pattern's and dresses.

Jonwin was able to identified one brass button as from a Civil War Naval Officer's. Uniform. (US, not English Civil war.) I made my daughter a pouch of old silk and velvet that got us a commission for another. When I went to wash up, found a black spot between my collar bones. Turns out, that an heavy metal Celtic Knot, of unknown origin, is silver. I had made it into a simple necklace on black cord with 2 beads and a button. Everyone love the necklace, skirt and my next project will be from the 1914 McCall's Fall Quarterly pattern catalog. My family is going to have to sell some of the collection to pay for restoration of what we want to keep.

Now I'm going to bed and hope i can still walk in the morning. I always over do it at family events, and then can't move for a week.

Most of the weekend I pretended to be a mother of three girls, 13, 9 and 7. Friday night was a tailgate party at the high school for football players and cheerleaders, so I took my kid and her friends. Rock wall climbing, dunk tanks, inflatable obstacle courses, hamburgers, hot dogs, yummy! And a football game afterward.

Sat morning we got up at 630 to get girls ready to be at caravan meet up spot by 745 for a 900 game out of town, Kai was cheering. That afternoon was spent keeping them entertained until the mother came to get the extra kids I had. Kai laid down for a nap at 6pm and never got back up until Sun... AT 3 FREAKING AM!!!

Son arrived that evening and took over my desk, until just a little while ago. I spent most of my day relaxing in my room, watching tv, sleeping and being lazy, long hot shower, completely dried my hair for once, trimmed and painted my nails; it's my only day of the week not booked solid at the moment.

Damn I hope I got enough rest. Tomorrow is busy as hell and I have a friend from out of town visiting tomorrow for the day, on top of my usual Monday adventures. I need a wife, any takers?

I asked him and he said no, I don't have the right equipment... /sigh rejected again!

Celebrated grandmother's and brother's birthday on Saturday at the beach. Was able to catch up and see lots of family I haven't seen in a few weeks. Then watched the Chargers game where they GODDAM DIDN'T HAVE A ******* CLUE ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THEIR LEAD.

Friday I had a few friends over and we BBQed.
Saturay I recovered from Friday night.
Sunday I went to Church. Both of them.
Today I recover.
Tonight I go to a BBQ.
Tomorrow I may be recovering.

Anniversaire ******é heureux, Frenchy.

This gave me a good laugh. Silly Frenchman.
