Seven things from my life
Aug. 20th, 2012 10:20 pm1. Wedding! Not mine! Yesterday, Marc's brother Dave got married to his girlfriend (now wife) Becky. Mazel tov to you both! You're a hard act to follow -- FORTY-FIVE different desserts! My God!
2. Back from Pennsic: Got back about a week and a half ago and had to dive back into Real Life (tm). Everything's put away except for a few odds and ends, all the laundry's done, and my Pennsic diary is up online. When things die down at work, I'll have to crack open Volume II of the Golden Legend.
3. Work: Speaking of work... craziness! I leave for our Annual Meeting in two weeks, at which I will both be running the registration desk and demoing our new website... which is still not finished. We move over to the new server tomorrow, and I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it works out okay and nothing blows up.
4. (Lack of) Gaming: Between Pennsic and summer schedules, I haven't actually done any gaming in a month. The good news is that it's looking like I'll have two or three games by Saturday evening, which makes me a happy Julie. (I wonder whether it's possible to find roleplaying-themed cake toppers. I wonder if my mother would ever forgive me if I decided to use one at my wedding one day...)
5. Apartment water damage: While I was away, we apparently got some water damage in the apartment. Upstairs neighbor put something in the sink, turned it on, and forgot about it. Oops. Went right on the wall with a light switch and our fuse box. So far nothing's been done because they're "letting the walls dry out," but I'll start pushing for it soon if nothing's done by the end of the week.
6. Health and weight stuff: The good news is I didn't gain any weight at Pennsic. I ate a lot but I also walked a lot. The bad news is that my work's Annual Meeting is coming up, at which I know (from past experience) that I'm gonna eat a lot and not walk a lot. I'm trying to come up with ways to help myself be good, like buying some breakfast groceries (to avoid the croissant-and-muffin spread that's catered for us) and promising to go for walks in the nearby Byward Market after my shifts.
7. Kickstarter temptation: There are still four days left on the Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter. I don't really use figs very much, and I certainly don't paint them, but 182 figs for $100 is a damn good deal. I'm super-tempted. And I offer the link so that you can share my conundrum.
