According to the time on my mobile phone, more accurate than the computer:

1 day 9 hours, 7 minutes

I'm pretty much ready. Being local to TRF (well, near southwest part of Houston is "local" compared to the people coming in from e.g. Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, or points beyond) I pretty much only have to pack a fanny pack and make sure I have my ticket, cash, gas in the car, and my itinerary and a map of the grounds (the latter of which I'll print out again since last year's copy is not in a usable condition now; a copy of the official program is simply not in the budget and I probably will not need it).

Man this sucks.

Went to bed at 2330, set the alarm for 0600, and woke up at 0400.....

Wondering if it's faire related.....

Well, I KNEW I forgot something.  *mumble, grumble, faire tickets sitting on the kitchen counter, mumble, grumble*

Well, I've made my presence at work, you think they'd notice if I snuck out...oh, I have a meeting at 8, then one right after...feh.

Tipsy Gypsy

I'm off at 11:00 on Fridays, fortunately, and this afternoon will be a mad scramble to finish last minute preps.

Then a glass of wine...or mead... or rum!

I know how you feel. I went to bed at about 00:30, then woke up wide awake at 5:15.

I was totally restless too last night... and I wasn't able to get to bed until much later than I should have...  guess I'll just have to push it hard this weekend to not get sleepy!!

I have to sit thru another 6 hrs of work.. I've already passed a whole hr thus far on here and emailing... so that's good.  Now I need to at least "look" productive for another 6 hrs and I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I've got to go pick of Rachie downtown and then we'll be heading up 59 and out of Houston....  We will be there tonight probably around 5 or 6.  At which point we'll unpack, of course, and then dress in our gypsy garb and come out to play....  We're startin' early tonight for sure!!!  Can't wait to give all my dear friends big hugs!
