Actually, Mom's being very cute. She keeps saying how much she's looking forward to coming without my dad along. She can go wherever she wants, see whomever she wants, eat whatever she wants (she's really excited about the fried cheesecake for some reason) and do it all in her own time.
And to quote her, she wants to be "one of the cool kids" and "hang out" after Faire on Saturday. So I'll bring her out to Eureka, and maybe La-Fis after, but if I know my mom, she'll be wiped by halfway through dinner and want to go back to the hotel.
I'm so amused that she's slowly starting to get really into Faire. She loves rennies, and she's got her Wench Pin. Says there's no one she's met at any of the festivals yet, that she doesn't like and find really interesting.
I'm all happy, because I get lots of sleep this weekend, and don't have to drive much! Mom and Sarah are staying at Hotel Otter, and have a spare half a bed, so I'm going to go stay with them Friday and Saturday night. tomomallie won't miss me much, since the extent we see each other is for about an hour on Saturday or Sunday mornings. He just has to remember to feed the ratbabies!
Plan for tonight: belly dance, hopefully finish Loretta's dress, pack, and maybe Guild Wars a little.
