“Not dead yet!”

Well, we survived. Of course, it took so freakin' long in the registration line that we missed the panels we wanted to see, but we knew that was a risk going in. Next year, we'll definitely pre-register.

However, we did manage a nice, lengthy stroll around the exhibitor's hall and Abby found ears that make her happy, the rest of us found t-shirts, and I scored a Nicholas Wolfwood action figure which made me go meep!

As promised, Abby pics:

Barb, coming up private. I'm sarameg there too.

So I just discovered what the clicking from my kitchen was: autoshutoff teakettle was ON, out of water and turning itself on and off. I shudder to think how long it'd be left on. I last used it Friday morning. Good news is it was turning off? I hope I only knocked it on sometime today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Barb, I could've sworn I remember you adding me before, but now I can't see Abby. Add me? tskaredoff

Sorry, had to take a pizza break. Hadn't eaten all day, standing in the Bataan Death March of registration lines.

Everyone added.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's one lovely kittygirl!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today was our last day of vacation in Texas. Yesterday and this morning we were down at great-grandma's and cousin's. mac spent a lot of time playing with his same-aged cousin and I visited with the adults. While we were gone my dad oversaw the tree pruning, removal, and storage shed removal. Apparently the workers were pretty incompetent and he had to help with a lot of it. Lesson learned to maybe not go with the lowest bid. He worked all day today in our yard also and I joined him around noon. SO MANY ROCKS and bricks and paving stones, oh my lands! There will be pictures, but there are at least a dozen 18x18 inch concrete pavers, then at least 30 12x12 ones, then probably over 100 bricks, and close to 50 heavy rocks that were used to edge flower beds.

I have chosen a fridge and have decided not to buy any furniture for a while except what I can get from my grandmother who is selling her place soon.

The lasy who has looked at my place twice in NY I think came again today with an inspector. fingers crossed.
