Erik and I went to the Ren Faire up near Puyallup today. We spent far too much money (and we looked fab). Yes, Derryck, I finally bought one! BWHAHAHHAAAAA.

When I was in a dressing room being laced up, my lacer was a girl of about my height...my hair color...and my hair length. Her skirt happened to be about the same color as mine, bodice likewise. It was...eerie. Erik swears that after seeing this he wasn't thinking about anything, no, nothing interesting, and if I wanted to know what exactly he wasn't thinking about, he has a list.

I finally bought him the scian dubh I've promised him -- a really nice handmade one.

We didn't last more than a few hours, mostly because the new location has lanes of big, ankle turning gravel (who the hell has 2" and 3" gravel?), which wore me out really fast. My bad ankles and I survived by leaning heavily on Erik's arm. As we were leaving it finally got to be too much, and he swooped me up and marched out of the faire, to loud calls of "Abduction! Abduction!" (He grinned and replied "I got one!" to anyone who looked at all surprised).

Oh, and in obviously less important news, this morning I made an offer on a house, and I'm currently in the process of negotiating.

Also, Decaf is 'helping' me type, which mostly means kneading through my too-thin PJs. Occasionally she sits on my lap and puts her front paws on the desk. Adorable, yet awkward!

Random bit: There are almost too many parts in that Magnetic Poetry you got to even fit on the easily reachable parts of my big Fridge. Also, for some reason they have "But I Eated It" as a single Magnet, but don't have "Cookie" in there at all. Or "Made" or "Baked".

I've been having fun with them.

I has a cookie (magnet)! My set is much much smaller, though.

Also random: I just finished Trading in Danger, and it was great. An excellent book to read while trying to buy a house. It's kind of a competence porn book -- I loved that foolish 'heroics' screwed things up, and doing the JOB made it better! :)

Yeah, that's exactly what I love about pretty much all of Moon's stuff, and particularly the SF. The people who keep their heads down and just focus on doing their jobs, living up to their responsibilities, and generally trying to be decent human beings are the ones who end up being successful.
