A quick update while I tank up on coffee (which is necessary because I didn't get a solid night sleep last night :-P ).
On Wednesday Brandee has a chiroparctic appointment. It turned out she was out in her pelvic area, especially on the left. That and she was in heat. She's been fine to ride now, but Marguerite did say that Brandee tucked her tail yesterday and M could hear things go PopPopPop. Need to be consistant with Brandee's tail tractions and such.
Also on Wednesday J/S and I and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goldenstag, aastg, misagillian, and leohtulf had dinner and saw Toy Story 3. It's always great to hang out with those folks. :-) But oh my, did TS3 make me cry... I think I need a little Bullseye figurine/talisman ;-) .
Friday evening I did something that I've never done before. I joined in on The Usual South Bay Suspect's (plus, now, J/S's) long-running D&D game. Part of me thinks I need a T-shirt that says Dares To Be Geeky ;-) . No offense meant to my long-time player friends!!!) The system is rather intimidating with all the numbers, but L and his daughter made it as easy for me as they could, and sent me home with reading material. I had a good time! It was a good way to have fun thinking strategically without being competitive. Looks like L will be setting up a very small additional game for me and J/S and G so that me and the man can get a better handle on the system. Playing as a rogue character, which is fitting for me, I think, given the options.
Saturday it was SewSewSew! accompanied by a South Park marathon (most of Season 4). I gotianhess's tunic together (french seamed), and tonight I'll be putting it on him to finalize hems and neckline. Also took care of a mountain of laundry.
Sunday it was more sewing in the morning, then off tohelblonde and moriven's son's 1st Birthday Party. The ice cream sunday and the cake I ate and the resultant sugar high *probably* contributed to my insomnia last nighit. But it was sure tasty! And just what is in the water around here? There were 8 little boys running around (between 6 months and about 4 years) and only one little girl (M and B's baby girl). Random sample, I know, but it sure seemed odd. Baby Bear slept through the end of his party, which was pretty cute. Afterwords a subset of TUSBS's retired to M&B's for burgers and general smoozing. L&J/S ended the evening with a man date and saw The Expendables, while I went home and crashed (after having some bed time reading with the D&D stuff. I am such a geek...) ;-)
This coming Saturday is Esfenn Ultimate Sword! where we as a group vote to dissolve and who we want to be absorbed by. My money is on Teufulberg, which makes the most sense to this Livermore girl. To my mind our Esfenn's dissolution is totally OK -- I've certainly never played at that local level. But it does bring to mind what I've observed about the West Kingdom (or at least the Principality of the Mists), that we don't generally play at the local level. Between playing at the principality and Kingdom level our buffers and/or calanders are full. We're all so close geography wise that we don't *have* to play with the local group, we can just hang out with our own friends/crowds/households/groupofyourchoice. Now I'm more aware of the problems with this, especially with the need for demos and more recruitment of new SCA/WK members. It's local groups that are doing these sorts of outreach events.
Teufulberg is a pretty big group with a bunch of active people. Maybe with that group we can do something positive. Of course, I'm having Life (TM) right now, but there's always tomorrow. :-)
Gotta go!
