I just had to share the blog I've been reading. The author is eating her way through Bangkok right now: Blitzing Through My Baht in Bangkok
(2nd of 3 parts) The food is so overwhelmingly bright and tasty looking! I really need to move to a bigger city where I can at least pretend I have access to cuisines like this.
If I had tons of money, I would spend it on traveling and trying new foods. And going to weight-loss spas in the interim.
Note to self: you are never, ever, EVER again to attempt to do simple addition or subtraction, especially when dealing with negative numbers, without a calculator. Ever.
I just spent 4 HOURS last night and tonight balancing my checkbook. Sheesh.
Can I take a moment to be incredibly proud of myself for a moment? Thanks.
Today I took apart a computer, all the way down to the motherboard. And then I put it back together again. And it *worked*.
I think I'm going to love this class.
So, I'm back from Pennsic , safe and sound (only re-broke my toe once and gakked up my ankle once) and I'm feeling better about participating in the SCA , although I'm still resigning as seneschal. [In normal-world speak: "so, I'm back from a national 2-week-long conference (11,000+ attendees)...and I'm feeling better about continuing to be active in the organization, but I'm still resigning as President of our local group."]
And now I'm planning my September schedule of SCA activities and looking at event announcements and the like. For the following to make sense, you need to know that at SCA events, wandering, unsupervised children are a continual problem that no one seems to be able to solve successfully. But I think that an SCA group in Indiana may have the solution:
"Please keep track of your children. Children left un-attended too long will be given an espresso and a free puppy."
Best. Threat. Ever.
I'm off today to Pennsylvania for two weeks of Medieval- at the Pennsic War. But I'm getting a late start (haven't left yet, obviously, since I'm blogging) due to a need for sleep.
And because I managed to break a toe yesterday. The pinky on my driving foot.
Looks like two weeks of limping around the campground and wearing tennis shoes with long gowns. Oh well. I'm still going to have a great time!
See you in two weeks!
