This means many things things:
1) I'm once again worried about my paycheck.
2) I get to see my husband more often!
3) If you asked me to do a sewing project for you this weekend and I said I didn't have time, I now do.
4) I get to go to pub sing, and maybe even *gasp* La-Fi's for the rest of the season! *dances madly*
5) My RAM might get a reboot, after all!!!
6) I am now is search of a gig that starts in August.
But, to celebrate my unexpected freedom, I present GARF sunday recap.
I had fun being rough, wild celt yesterday. I wore my doeskin wrap skirt over tomomallie's tartan and wore the doeskin bodice and looked quite cute. I's a look I'm going to have to repeat some time. I hope someone got a picture of it. whiskeyfyre put my hair up in fun braids with some hairsticks! (come on paycheck, I've got some plans for you!)
It being Matthew and JC's birthday week (And yamguitar's, but he ran away before we could do anything to him), it was time for the semi-annual wenching of half the Lost Boys. I got dragged into it a bit belatedly, so I just went with the flow. And it was so much fun to have ladyleo there for her first Local 74 wenching, as well as the fabulous dch4 for our (kilted!) guard.
LB first show of the day silliness ensued, due to the front row being filled to capacity with Wenches on a Wenching high.
After the show, we mostly went our separate ways, but determined to meet up at the crows nest a little later. whikseyfyre dragged me off to meet the Irishman with the gorgeous accent and pretty eyes that she's gone ga-ga over at the wooden rose booth. Yes, both eyes and accent were worth it. I say she needs to act now!
We met lady_rose30 and Amanda at the Crows Nest which turned out to be a bad idea. lady_rose30's ribs didn't much like the centrifugal force, and poor Amanda got nauseous. It did seem to me that the ride was a little more intense than in previous years. those two got partially recovered and limped off towards the pub, and whiskeyfyre and I sat near food 2, watching passer-bys until it was time for her shift over at Bullseye. We saw this GREAT kid in an awesome leather doublet, great pants, fake spats/boots with a bow and nice quiver. Must have been about 9 or 10, looked well put together. Then we caught the end of Blackenshear's show.
So, Madame went off to work and I trotted off to see the blacksmith demo, 'cause I promised Trent, on Saturday, that I would. I now miss the little bit of smithing I did in college. He had a wonderful lecture going along with his demo about the importance of history and the idea of sustainability and how difficult that is in the modern society. I got sun-burnt while sitting there, though. Not bad for a faire-burn, though. It feels warm today, but doesn't hurt.
After the demo, it was time for me to start heading out for work, so I trotted up to the hostel to return Tammie's hairsticks. I saw lady_rose30, luvnscandl and Amanda sitting in the shade chatting/gnashing about some of the repercussions of the days earlier events. So, I joined them for a few minutes, and we ended up getting our picture taken.
Chatted with whiskeyfyre at Bullseye on my way out; saw supergoober the only time all weekend as I checked into the pub to make my goodbyes. With the exception of her and 2/3 of 3/4 Ale on stage, there were no Rennies in the pub. It was creepy...and unusually quiet. Very strange. I could always depend on someone to be there for me to at least wave at. The corner was empty! *tear*
Ran into Carlos and heatherpants12 as I was leaving gate (literally, the called me as I was on my way into the parking lot).
And then it was show time, strike time, and go home time. And time to get tomomallie to put aloe on my sunburns before I went to bed.
