Just dropping in for a minute..... Thunder, Dragonfest, Transformation...life is 100 mph. A week ago today, Otters and I hiked a 14er. He's done several, but it was my first one. I knew it was going to be hard. I knew I could do it. Wow, it was amazing! Tough, but expanding edges always makes me thrilled! Transformation is that lifestyle change/challenge we started in February. I'm not quite there, but I can see the future where I become a clothes whore again. My debit card is already scared! Of course, Otters is loving the idea as he'll now have a partner in crime. Besides working too hard between vacations, life is quite fabulous. I think I'm feeling so thankful because my family has come and gone. I always look forward to their visit, just to realize how little I have in common with my mom. My grandma is great, and even if you have to shout at her to be heard, she at least has some common interests. Mom and I just don't gel on so many levels. I feel like I've been older than her since I was 8. Hugs, kisses, 'love you's' and off they went heading north towards WY, while we hit the gas pedal heading south to hike and camp. WIN! Sewing projects on the horizon for the next 2 weeks, as Otters mentioned, we have things being made, but are also putting together a few things ourselves. The fabric store needs to stop having crepe satin on sale! Instead of buying wedding rings, we decided to get piercings. Since I've had trouble in the past keeping such things in, we went last night and kept it simple with the upper ear cartilage piercings. Kinda fun, and we'll see what get's a hole in it next <wicked evil grin>!!! So many little projects...so little time, and staff members out on personal leave, which makes my work week even longer this week. Good news, I'm not salaried. Better news, the check arrives the day Thunder starts. I'll whine now and wine later! We have such fun in hotel rooms! Ok, off to dinner and initial fittings at G/K's. Hopefully my electronic leash (beeper) will keep quiet and not disturb our evening, however, if it does, I'll buy a new toy at Thunder, and it's a win-win! Good to hear what's going on with the rest of you. Please do get in contact if you'll make it to our area of the woods in a few weeks!
