And we'll have fun fun fun...

Did you hear that it rained at CTRF this past weekend?

I bought a new hood. It's fleece but it works great at keeping my head warm and dry. WHEEE!!! WARM AND DRY!!!

I made at least two new friends. Two little girls... maybe 14 or 15 years old walked up to me while I was hawking for one of the GBU shows and asked if I'd be their friend. So yay, two new friends whose names I don't know and I will never, in all liklihood, see again.

My former's bosses' three daughters came out again with three friends. Trying to determine is any of them were actually old enough to drive. Makes me feel old when I can't tell. Le sigh.

Sunday, I tried to keep myself out and about all day. Bought a bread bowl and shoved it into my wooden bowl. Saw the Jolly Rogers Brothers (who may need to change their name I found out). At the end of the day, my legs and feet were killing me. Enjoyed the after party despite being in pain. I'll get through. (That whine is for my special adopted sister... yup... it runs in the family... I whine too.) This all made me realize what crap condition I've been keeping myself in. Need to make a special effort to stretch more, exercise more and eat better.

Monday I helped [livejournal.com profile] clodappleleft drive some poor girl crazy. In our defense, she was being obnoxious and making her friends laugh at her was exactly what she deserved. (But I really didn't mean to shoot her in the boob with the marshmallow crossbow).

I heard some great things about our new GBU show from people who's opinion I hold in VERY high regard. I'm starting to enjoy firing the pistol... maybe I'll get my own. (I'm not a big gun person.)

Made my second BK&S sword purchase over the weekend. A hand and a half sword which I've decided not to put into service yet. Especially if the rain keeps falling.

Yeah, it rained. We get by and deal. The rain did the least to drive down my spirits. I can deal with rain, mud and muck. I'm finding I have more trouble dealing with my own personal demons and lack of self motivation. If I can do more days like Sunday where I was out and about AND manage to do it without two days of pain following, I'll be much happier.

Also looking forward to doing a joust show on horseback rather than from the ground.

I definitely hear ya on the needing to stretch and be healthier thing! Three days in chain maille pretty much killed me! That coupled with dancing at the cast party...whoo man! And good for you guys for sticking it to obnoxious teenagers! Sounds like you did it very well haha. BK&S swords...those are pretty nice! Maybe I'll get myself one....oh wait, don't have to, some pretty cool guys already gave me one :) Just wanted to use the opportunity to thank you once again :) See you next weekend!
