Come to Juvenalia this Saturday Dec 5th!

We are having our traditional winter feast but this year we bring you something new - a festival to celebrate the kid in all of us!
Juvenalia is all about having fun and playing games, and of course, eating lots of dessert :)

The event runs from 1-8 pm and it's a hosted potluck - we provide meat, you provide sides.
Please see the website for details on what types of dishes are still needed.

On a personal note, this is a plea to all of my friends who might have some time to come support my local SCA group. We *REALLY* need you right now, so come give us a few hours of your time to visit, play games, and have fun. Please?


Thanks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this is them ~3 months old. SO CUTE!

Until tomorrow, Southwest is having crazy deals on flights so i'm planning the christmas trip.

Saturday Dec 12th - Monday Dec 14th.
Flights are $25 each way, depending on time of travel. we go early Sat am and come back late Mon night.

( our flight info )

Hotel room at HoJo for $~150 per night x 2 nights = $300
5 people per room = $60 per person

SO, a 3 day trip to the Mouse House will run you $110 in travel and lodging, a STEAL. anyone with an Annual Pass gets in free so its a no-brainer really :)

Me and Hubby are going, along with Trish and Victoria. so that's 4. room for one more on an air mattress or cot to make 5. More and we'll just get more rooms :_)

Who else?

so thursday night about 9:30 I start to feel icky. tummy upset and crampy. not fun. by 10:00 i'm vomiting and it doesnt stop till about 1am.
I stayed home friday and rested, had no energy, spent day on couch and tried to drink lots of water to rehydrate. managed to eat and keep food in so that was good. by friday night 9ish I felt better, so figured food poisoning and that was that.
Then yesterday I felt fine, ate breakfast and lunch with no problems. Then had dinner out and within the hour my tummy was upset again. no more vomiting but food not sitting well.
Today I woke up at 5am, sweating, tummy cramping, back and leg pain (super weird, probably from dehydration). took tums, pepto, etc. finally back to sleep ~6:30 am.
got up 9am, tummy not well. crampy, with many trips to bathroom. no vomiting but very uncomfortable.
stayed home from officers meeting to rest and not infect others. so far, no improvement even with water, emergenC, tums, pepto etc. blech >x(

I will probably visit the doc tomorrow since 2 cases of food poisoning in 3 days is unlikely. its either a bug, or I'm developing some problem (allergies?) with food(s) and I happen to have eaten them in both meals...

so, that's what I've been doing for the last 3 days, what about you?

I married this man:



Best thing I've ever done.

Took Kale to the vet today, and yep: broken foot!

poor guy. now has 2-4 weeks of rest and recovery. of course, explaining that to him didn't work and he wants to rassle with his sister, even on 3 legs. silly dog.

is going to be insane, but fun!

Today - girlie fun day with Trish and Pheobe
Tomorrow - work work work then fly to LA
Tuesday - DIZZIN with bro, woohoo!
Wed - fly home them work work work
Thurs - work work work then ball game with Ktina
Fri - work work work then fly to Anaheim
Sat/Sun - DIZZIN with the girls for Gulenay's birthday fun times
Sun night - fly home, collapse

gonna be SO MUCH FUN, but dayum

the baby stick ended up on the tape that was blocking the gap in the cage, and she was stuck on there good. I tried to get her off but only ended up pulling a leg off and hurting her, so ended it quick for her and will figure out a different way to block that gap so no further tape incidents occur.
here's hoping more eggs will hatch...

well, one anyway.

yep, this morning one baby stick in the cage. woohoo!

my favorite 101 Dalmatians coffee mug is dead. big chunk out of the side which I discovered also leads to a crack down the entire side and under the handle. Couldn't see it until I poured coffee in. sigh. I got this mug while we lived in Ireland and it has lots of good memories attached.
Silly that it's just a thing, but I feel sad that it won't be part of my life anymore.

Tomrrow and Sunday, 10am - 6pm
Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, San Jose, CA

Can anyone hook me up with the person who was in charge of the stained glass art project for your 12th night last year? I would love to do something similar with ours so I am looking to find out the details of what was used etc.

Thanks!

Last night, after the rehearsal dinner/party, a few of us went out to find some quality texas nightlife. We did find it!
First we found a place called Frank'N'Steins, which is a totally cool and fun bar. If it was in San Jose we would go there a lot I'm sure. The stuff on the tv was super entertaining even though we couldn't hear it, and the DJ was awesome.
After that we went down the street to Mo's place, where there was a real live country band and we even danced some Texas 2-step! Met a cool girl there who told us about another awesome place we should check out - we might call her later to go hang out some more :)

And a picture for those of you not following the escapades on FB:



we went outside the bar at 1am, and my glasses fogged up due to the humidity!

I am starting my day with the live, streaming MJ memorial - cause I can. I'm drinking coffee and listening to the performances.

Later, I will get my booty in gear and get ready to pack for Texas. Lots of laundry to do from the war, but not much of it super pressing since I'm not wearing garb to the wedding, even though linen in Texas is a fine idea... Norse dress is wedding appropriate right?
I also have to do some research on stuff to do in and around Houston.

Yesterday we set up our tent in the front yard to dry and laid out the Procrastination Stations in the driveway. I think this is the first time I've had to dry wet canvas after West-AnTir. The fog and mist is beautiful but this year it left our stuff soaking wet - we pulled the canvas out of the trailer and a *puddle* of water poured off of it!

We realized as we put the stuff back in the trailer that we aren't camping again until October Crown, which is weird. Since Purg is in Oertha (and we aren't 100% sure we can go) and M/C war and Coronet are both after Crown this year we have almost 3 months until we camp again, very unusual.

And on a gaming note, I have been excited for Diablo 3 since I saw the trailer last year, but Blizzard sucks and hasn't even given a tentative release date, fraking teases! So, I installed Diablo2 last night to get my fix, it is so different than the games of now, but still fun :)

Now I think I will feed my dogs cause they are slightly less crazy after they've had food
