1:01 am	Countdown is on HOme from Pirate Fest. Was fun, much piratey goodness to be had. And in the same way as always the mom of the fest co-ordinator knows himself's parents. In this case, they used to snowmobile together. Seriously, everyone in a 50km radius knows them. Does mean that after the "Oh! You're their son and DIL!" the perks start rolling in thick and fast. Am so not complaining. (Comment on this)

8:45 am	Plot in motion So on the 24th we're having a party for himself. He does not want a party so we haven't bothered to tell him. At the same time I don't want him to stand around silently all evening so it very small and casual and won't last long. Basically after "work" on that Sunday (volunteering at the museum) we'll drag him over to the Inn and whoever is also volunteering that day will have cake and bevvies with us. Reality all he wants to do is go golfing for his birthday. Yawn. But whatevs. He hasn't gotten to golf since before the girls were born. I'm trying to set that up too. He's 40 this year,I feel like we should do *something*. (Comment on this)

2:24 am	Yay baby! This will make little sense to folks who don't know the SCA but I authorized tonight. Got worked over good and had my poor little clock cleaned. But they liked what they saw and they liked "my aggression" during the pretend tourny match. Basically I charged the guy and kept trying to whallop him in the head. And now I will go curl up, cry and suck my thumb because, ...ow. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:28 am	Eye doctor today Would be nice to see. Last guy gave me contacts that were only for distance. My eyes suck. Without contacts/glasses I honestly have a book resting practically on my nose to see it. Jeff laughs every time. So this guy thinks I don't need to see up close. Uh... I can't see the needle on my sewing machine much less thread it. You know annyoing it is to have to call your hubby to come thread the stupid thing after you get frustrated somewhere around the 25th attempt. Here's hoping. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:04 pm	I forgot. After all my kvetching, Bob and I took first place. Because we are awesome like that. Bob is also booked to scare the crap out of people at a the museum village a few nights before All Hallow's Eve. I'm jealous of Okaasan's bats. Am re-working a stole that I killed myself making and then the damn thing yellowed. No matter what I try I cannot whiten it again. I've used very thing from bleach, to vingear to sun to plain old washing powder to random folks how to whiten stuff methods. It will not whiten. But I have white lace. Cool lace. Loads of it. The random yellow spots will be hidden. I'm not giving up on that much embroidery damnit! Still waiting to hear from Pirate Fest. *pout* (Comment on this)

11:00 pm	Tonight. Tonight Bob is a bastard. He's not happy that I've declared him finished but tough nuts. I'm beat and nothing new sewn for Faery fest. I have loads of stock but nothing made specifically new. Oh well. Wings work. Body cover..covers. Feet are big. Hands have claws. He glitters. And has feathery bits. He wants more but really he's the kind of thing I could work at forever. He can wait for his next beauty treatment. (Comment on this)

9:55 pm	Bob Bob is a wonderful looking creature. He tells me he got sick of all those damn bells and that overly loud hunchback yelling about "SANCTUARY!" all the time so he climbed down. He still hasn't told me why he chose Canada or how he got here. Just have to give it time, we're still getting to know one another. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

And lastly, I am building a gargoyle. Because some things NEED to be. And for real lastly. Holmes and Watson. Ooofta. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:03 pm	Thats a wrap! Princess Ida has wrapped. I've been insane chasing around backstage. But good to be in the theatre again. Assistant Stage Manager is fun...except for the headset and feeling like you're chained to the wall. I ditched it all run long to whomever was handling the curtain. Also Waterloo U theatre? The men's dressing room needs to be closer. Its miles away! Past the balcony doors which meant the guys had to hide in the makeup room till everyone had gone back in and then they could scamper off down the hallway. But I'm glad I met Ene, Anne, Racheal, Donna, Emilio, Tim, Jason, Heather, Ryan, John, John, Gary, The many Lauras, Ben, Will, Bruce, Leslie, Betty Jane, and the rest of the cast who sorry I really only know the character names. It was a great re-entry into the theatre world. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:19 pm	Its ruffles!! Ok I can be a bit reluctant to try out new stuff...or really really old stuff. And as such I tend not to mess around with the extra bits and pieces kicking around with my Granny's sewing stuff. Till yesterday. I have no idea why I chose yesterday to open up that box (literally, there is a box) but I did. There's a ruffle foot and I loves it. It is so cool the way it jerks on the fabric in order to ruffle it. Also I did battle with the buttonholer. I've come up against this beast before and lost. The darn thing is huge and weighs a ton. However yesterday I took it apart and discovered all its hidden secrets...and can now do button holes on the 1956 Singer. Whoo! There are other feet in the box. I'm starting to play around with them. They aren't labelled but luckily...and seriously who does this?...Granny kept the instruction manual all these years. I'm matching pictures to sewing feet...and seriously it turns out the old machine is even cooler than I already knew it was. Oh and I was ruffling a dress hem yesterday because my girls were in a commerical. They had to follow Anne Shirley around Westfield Village and then sit in the school room and draw pictures. :) (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:44 pm	Its raining, its pouring. Yuck. DIdn't stop annoying child across the street from coming over and asking to be let in the house to play with my girls. Uh no. Besides the annoyance factor Shaughny was tossing all the chocolate she overindulged in at Grandma's. That started at about 1am. Seems to have stopped now though. Dug through photos with my sister looking for one of my grandmother's wedding day. Didn't findit. Found many many other all giggle worthy. And then stupidly left them at my parents. Betcha didn't know I used to be Xena's sidekick. I have photographic evdience you know. Found very adorable baby pics of me about which darling sister claimed I look like I have "a touch of Down's." Such is sibling love.:D (Comment on this)

12:20 pm	And also for any Besties who may be reading this while going loopey in Japan..and you know you are with your chibi baby naval men and nibbleable detectives with their Hotson sidekicks, I am currently very irritable because having gotten to watch a movie together for the 1st time in over a decade(!)I find myself overly annoyed that we cannot do it again. And if we have the added bonus of destroying a convenient male mind in the process, so much the better. For everyone else, the male mind deserved it. He has an irresponsibly large truck.

12:08 pm	Concert last night Spring concert last night. Such a laugh as it is still freezing and miserable out. Rumors abound of both rain on Tuesday and lovely high temps. Whatevs. Feeling better but discovering the culprit may be coffee. Woe! My morning tipple of coffee and hot chocolate may be endangered. *sigh* Well I have de-caf teas in the cupboard, nice ones so I guess switching isn't such a tragedy. Except that saying Woe! is fun and tragedies, personal ones, have an unfortunate tendency to make me giggle at the wrong time. Ergo the Little Sister and I at Grandmother's Funeral incident. Did I mention the giggle (or full on gut busting laugh) is a family trait? Babysitting today. Young feller-me-lad named Forest. I know what you just said. And usually around here it is "Stop Forest Stop." Or hurry up. He is the slowest moving child on the planet. But I simply cannot tell him to run. He's very cute and endlessly amusing though. He is playing with Clararose right now, for some reason which I am sure is obvious to them, the Joker is on the toilet and has been for some time. Poor man. (Comment on this)

5:41 pm	Yuck Stomach flu sucks. Other than that life is good, although it is still snowing and that is the pits. Completely. We are waiting for our local sakura blossoms trees to uh..blossom and then we will go have a picnic and pretend we are Japanese I guess. Or at least kinda cool people eating under pretty trees.
