Not so hard.

[saffronhare]

Not so hard to have a great weekend, when there's learning to be done and fun stuff to do. For instance, I learned that my feet, after a day of standing at the beer booth, didn't smell like Stinky Feet. They smelled like beer instead, which is much better. I bet you all wanted to know that.

Gymnastics coaching continues to be more fun than I'd thought it would be. Hard work, but pretty cool, and well worth the effort to defray Sweet Fi's gym costs. (She's decided to dress up as a gymnast for Halloween! Kira Dear-a wants to be a black cat. I can totally get behind the ease of those costume choices. ) As an unexpected benefit, the effort is great activity and seems to be helping me build up my upper-body strength again. Win-win.

I also received the gift of a Queen's Gambit CD, which contains music I'd been wanting to hear, but missed them playing live when I was taking a "walking break" from the beer booth. Ah, well. (It's pretty awesome, to spend the day watching the Dunwoodie Dell stage.) Seems like we had a healthy volume of repeat business and lots of people who tipped us every time. I got to see lots more friends than last time, even. I think I might volunteer again next year, and princessboredom might be interested in some work shifts (but not at the beer booth). We'll wait and see.

Alas...end-of-day business kept me from getting any Scotch Eggs for the ride home, but now I've got a recipe. Pheer my Scottish breakfast food-making skillz!

Also: Hey, matchgirl42! I went to put my new CD in the stereo I got from you, and there was a CD already in there. I think it might be yours. Looks like a personal compilation, entitled "Light on the Leaves: A Greenwood Mix." Please let me know, so we can figure out an exchange? Thanks!

Argh! I knew there was something I was forgetting on Saturday. *sigh*

I really meant to come buy a beer from you. I was out at faire almost all day, but I don't think I made it up Dunwoodie Dell at all.

I even commented to cammie018 that I wanted to get a beer from you - even offered to buy her one. *sigh*

Poor N8 -- I was only there on Sunday anyway. Did you have a good time?

Aha, that's where that one went!!! I had borrowed it from kittenpants, and couldn't find it to get it back to her. (Just goes to show how long it had been since I had used that stereo.) If you want to get it to featherynscale or triadruid the next time you see them, they can get it to me on the 18th at gaming, and I can drop it in the mail to get it back to kittenpants...

Aha! I've got her new mailing address, so I can mail it to her just fine, unless you had strong preference to take care of it yourself?

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

Oh that would be cool, thanks!

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

No problem. You're welcome. :)

Loved the hugs-with-no-counter-in-the-way!
Need more time to sit and visit.
Glad you had a good day. I've found any aspect of faire that doesn't involve the entertainment dept can be MUCH fun.

If you are making a package to send to her, I have some mail of hers to include.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

I wasn't particularly, but it wouldn't be difficult. I'll plan to send it out over the weekend, so we'll have a few days to connect.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yup, that was great. :) Fortunately, I'm a layer or two removed from the not-fun aspects of vending as well. It's very pleasant to simply show up and do what I'm told in a competent manner.

And somehow I missed you again!!!! WTF?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

I'm very short, and the beer counter is very tall. But I completely forgot to look for you. FAIL. :)
