Trip up was good. Picked Svien up in SF and Rue in Adrian. Rue had offered to drive and I never say no to that. It rained most of the way up and it was a bit hard to see. I was glad I wasn't driving. I am way overdue for an eye exam. Night driving is not the best right now. We made it to the hotel about when I expected. We hung out for awhile and waited for Kol to show up.
Saturday we leisurely got ready and headed off to site. So nice not to have to hurry up and get there.
Picked up wool crack that I have purchased from Eithni. Jess I have yours. Are you coming to Quest?
Completed step one of my currier dutes for super secret project 854. Hopefully I won't forget about step 2.
Most of the day spent wandering around talking to people. Spent some quality time in Cassandra 's spot. View was mostly people's backs so we didn't get to see much fighting but it was good for people wandering past. Hung out a bit at the list table so I could get updates since I was in high distracted mode and didn't pay full attention to the tourney.
Got two Kingdom Level job offers. One I am considering and the other would probably give me anxiety the size of texas so I am going to pass.
Had fun hanging out with the Roses during the finals. My first time doing that.
Ablalard had a good description of the tourney. Couldn't of said it better myself.
Court was good. Love Vidi's scroll. How awesome is that?
Favorite moment was the day was right before leaving Ilya was playing with some kids. I walked past and he straitened up and said to the kids oh we have to behave its the Countess. I laughed and said you don't have to behave for me. One of the kids came up to me and said Countess can I give you a hug? How can you say no to that. I said of course. Its the little things thath make your day.
A bunch of us headed off to the Outback for supper and then back to the hotel to celebrate Astrid's birthday and to celebrate with Zig and Liz. Yay throwback Mt. Dew and drinks made by Svien.
Sunday we headed off to have breakfast at IKEA and to poke around. I got some wooden hangers because you can't go to IKEA and not get something. Also went to the fabric mecca of SR Harris for the first time. Wow is all i can say. Didn't get anything but good to know where it is.
Trip home was good. Rue and Svein drove and I took a little nap. Have not been able to sleep much lately. Dropped Rue off and Svien and I got back to SF around 6. We had talked about going to see Star Trek but I only had the energy to eat and drive home. We went to Szchwans on Minnesota. So tasty. I wish we had one in Vermillion. Headed home after eating. Nothing exciting there. Was glad to sleep in my own bed.
Be busy week. Got to get things rounded up and ready to go for Quest. Will be leaving sometime on Thursday. Will be nice to have a few days to relax in the Hills. Hopefully the weather will be good. If not, we can play perudo in the cabin.
Favorite pics from the weekend. Taken by Shava. I had my camera but only took about 3 pictures.
First one would be better if I weren't bitting my lips.
