I'm bouncing up and down in my chair, excited about RenDezvous!!

I'm wondering what other people are doing to get ready for this weekend.

I'm sewing new outfits for myself and Ms. Trish. :)
Tanning my hide (don't want to get scorched out there!).  :-[ (that's supposed to be sunburned) lol
Exercising my liver.   :-X (no vomiting)
Running to improve my lung capacity so I can breathe in the mountains. ??? (yeah, that one's lame)

How 'bout you?!
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

Ummm... RenDezvous isn't this weekend.

At least if it is...I got my plane tickets for the wrong day.

However... what I am doing to get ready for it is... mapping out the places I want to go to like the Pirate exhibit at the museum... Cog train to Pikes peak... liquor store... King Soopers to get discount tickets and 2 days at the faire ! ! !
Oooo... Friday nights meet and greet too!

To clarify for the confused...

"this weekend" referring back to the previously mentioned RenDezvous weekend.  

Next time, I will prepare slides and a flow chart for you.   ;)

Everyone be nice, please.  Remember that what you say can sound different than you perhaps mean it when it's in writing.

*I* get to crack the whip at MG on the sewing projects! It's really got to be the best part. Plus all the moral support, right sweetie? :)

MG, the exercising to improve lung capacity will probably put you in far better shape to enjoy this Faire than most of us who are visiting will be!  Especially since it's "all uphill", as they keep saying...  :D  Lots of people are going to be stunned by how out of breath they will be just from walking a few feet uphill, and I think your idea is one of the most sensible suggestions I've heard so far!

Gasp!  Rani, did you just say I was "sensible"?!  The horror!  Quick, let me run with scissors!  LOL  ;) ;D

Might want to drink inappropriately for a good solid hour, as well!!!  Y'know, just to make sure it doesn't happen again...  :D

I don't suppose "prudent" would be any better, huh?  Oh, I know!!! 


Brilliant!!!  Absolutely BRILLIANT idea, MG!!!  ;)

You are entirely too kind, Beautiful Lady.  But you have made my day, nonetheless.     :D

Thank you, Rani.  That is much better.  ;D

It should be noted that I wore very unprudent (is that a word?!) shoes all day.  4 inch wedge heals in a marvelously unsensible burnt orange color with large rosettes on the top.   I did not, however, consume any alcohol.  Dang it.  Will have to try again tomorrow.  ;)

I'll be boozing you up on Thursday, but I think you're on your own for tomorrow.

(sigh)  Tsk, tsk... whatever shall be done with you?  Perhaps tomorrow you should endeavor to wear something in, ohhh... poppy, maybe?  Preferably an actual poppy... in.. your.. hair!!!  Yes... that's it!  I think that might do nicely!  Oh, and make sure you wear it while drinking something tall, with fruit, lots of booze, and a paper umbrella!!!  Yes, yes... I think that might be just the thing!  ;D

Wouldn't want to be caught being (GASP)... prudent, now would we?!?  :o  :D  


By the by... burnt orange is my very favorite color in the whole world!
