Tep, I clicked on that webcam link just in time to watch a horse and buggy trot into frame. Dublin is awesome.

Went and saw Oceans 8 with a big group of female friends last night and had a total blast. It's light and frothy and fun and all female-gaze.

ION, I have 4-6 weeks to finish all of my MA research and professional project and defense and am trying not to be entirely daunted by it.

And lisah, I mentioned Fringe to her.

Good! They are expanding and looking for new stylists.

Yup. Might not be on her timescale, but couldn't hurt to mention.

Timelies all!

Our dance group had a gig at the Maryland Faerie Festival. Went pretty well, and we were able to find someone to look after Mr. S, as I was needed to dance pretty much every dance, and Gary plays guitar for the group.

I will admit, the fact that we were leaving our child at Unseelie Court did give me pause.(Although, if they replaced Mr. S with a changeling, I'm not sure we'd know the difference. :) )

So far I have not won enough to fund or partially fund Buffista Island . M won a $350ish jackpot and my biggest was $135. Right now I'm a little over what I brought.

We were sitting next to someone who won $16,000. And I saw someone else who was getting a receipt from the staff and then was on the phone. Not sure how much he won.

The buffet was ok. The hotel Jacuzzi tub was fun. M made sure we brought bubble bath so lots of bubbles.

Now we are chilling in the hotel. I was getting a little overwhelmed with the sounds so we called it a night.

Woo! Got a prompt & resonable response from a junk hauler, in Waverly even. So I can get rid of some stuff, like my old loveseat.

Which, fuck, means I'll need to shake it out for cattoys & who knows what. & make my basement accessible. Which currently contains a shitload of cardboard from the litter box enclosure that arrived after recycling day.

More than a year after he died, my father started receiving new issues of Discover magazine. WTF, people.

TUESDAY JUNK HAUL!

I think Fringe would be a good move for Alison, creatively. She's got an extensive client list of routine people like me (except, I let her do what she wants) & is the one they direct to for new styles & I think she could play more there. But she still goes and does her nursing home bound clients on off days. But I know nothing about the salon biz.

I made pancakes for breakfast to confirm that I am just not that into pancakes! Oh well.

You guys -- Maine is doing ranked-choice voting! (I'm currently learning on NPR...)
