Otherwise known as New Jersey. :D

Seriously, Mom, Dad and Argus picked me up from work at 1 pm EST on Friday and we were incommunicado until Monday night, so I'm WAYYY behind. The fact that I have spent more time looking at [livejournal.com profile] irysangel's amazingly hysterical zombie faerytales (yes, seriously, go look them up) than writing hasn't helped. That, and I have a paper due Thursday that needs to be written.

Seriously, Quest rocked. [livejournal.com profile] suelder showed up for a bit on Sunday and we got to watch [livejournal.com profile] caitlindancer, [livejournal.com profile] fencerm2 and others fence (no fencing for Val, because of lingering coughing) as we were one of the obstacles in the Quest. It was great - we got to ask every adult team that came up to us, "So, who has the strongest knees?" :D

Next event for us is Midsummers, June 7-9. It will be fun. I will NOT be merchanting. I will, however, be heralding. If you have business, email me at the captain_hobbes addy.

To dos this week:

1. Write paper
2. Get Elements stuff back to [livejournal.com profile] davealaw
3. Finish Seasons
4. Send in quarterly reports
5. laundry
6. cooking

To dos before Midsummers:

1. make new dress
2. menu
3. stuff pillows
4. help [livejournal.com profile] argus7hills make the bed

Oh, and I have to announce the winners of the art contest!!!! I was just waiting to get in touch with the winning artist. :D

And [livejournal.com profile] snitchcat, I bought halters and leashes for my three cats today. We shall see about walking the cats. I promise pictures.
Because I've been sewing and freaking out. :)

Got garb done today (yes, [livejournal.com profile] caitlindancer, I will have NEW garb for Midsummers! *gasp*) - my new dancing caftan and pants. I love Nedra's patterns - sooooo easy. I think the only thing I'm going to change on the next set is I'm going to drop the crotch on the pants a bit - I like mine higher on my hips. But that's it. I made dancing pants and a caftan in about 2.5 hours. In silk cotton - soooo light and soft! I'm very happy with them - now they just need trim. Too bad [livejournal.com profile] freya46 only had pastel fruity colors for it - I'd have gotten [livejournal.com profile] argus7hills some and made him some shirts, but really, they aren't his colors. ;)

Looking forward to this weekend - gotta roast some garlic tomorrow for a yummy marinade for steak this weekend. Here it is:

Ingrediants:
2 heads of garlic, roasted
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup spicy mustard
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme

I have some lemon thyme growing out on my balcony that I'm going to use in this - I'll let you all know how it tastes!
