Title: Almost there........
Post by: DonaCatalina on March 25, 2011, 10:30:19 AM
This weekend I will spend finishing off all my mundane chores like a follow-up visit to the doctor, stocking up on wine and groceries.
What do you need to do to finish up?

Finish up?!? I haven't even started!

ah, well...since we're tripping down for preview, gotta make a list of what to stock in the ice chest for that. We're not really well-versed yet in the art of tailgating. Anything I need to bring down from Arkansas? Potted Possum? Skunk in a Skillet?

Dont' forget the roast Squirel :)

I have to finish up the PP's new pants and finish up my new dress. I was sure I could get a couple weeks out of my garb but doesn't look like it.

I have to pack my entire life into a couple shipping boxes and my corolla. That is, after finishing up the last four performances of my show this weekend, making a commissioned chemise, getting my 90k mile check on my car on Monday, spending my last few days in FL visiting Disney and Universal a few more times, and attending BARF. Oh, and I have to drive halfway across the country.

Gather the garb bucket as I will be staying with my guy on the Friday or Saturday nights pre/post faire in Crowley if I drive.

Gather the crew and beat them until their morale improves!  ;D

And make sure I'm ready to have the best season yet....

I have to unpack my garb and the Duchess has to finish her new under skirt. The eldest son wears his kilt all the time so he is ready but the younger will need new garb as he has grown about 3" Pendragon here we come!

I REALLY need to repack and clean out out the accessory bins. I'm going to a friends house today to play dress up with her and her daughters in an effort to convert them to Rennies. That might be my opportunity as I'm sure the girls will want to see EVERYTHING! :)

Besides keeping on top of things here at work, I have a shoulder bag that I need to put straps on and then streamline the amount of stuff I'm bringing - so far its a backpack of mundanes for the evenings, half a tub of various garb, and also a tote bag & a wicker basket of accesories. Sometimes my kitten jumps into the tub, but I don't think I'm bringing her :)

I'm the same way! I had made of list of a few garb items I wanted to complete this year's outfit, but I know that's going to go out the window when I see all the things and baubles in the shops!!

I got most of the trim on the dress for tomorrow but the whole, mundane work, and taking care of the house is getting in the way of my sewing. :)

It really sucks when life gets in the way of faire. I hate it when that happens!

School, school, lots of school, a possible second interview for a new job (YAY), homework, work, and then rush on Friday night.

Yeah...it would be super helpful if life didn't get in the way of faire!  ;)

On our way home from Preview, Nim and I decided that we would retire and follow the circuit if we could win the lottery. Meh! We can dream!

I'm halfway there! I'll be in Natchez through Friday morning, then I'll get to Waxahachie that night. I can't wait!

But I swear, every time I look at the weather forecast, it changes.
