Ah Freddie, hope you're celebrating right, wherever you are!





And just because I think Freddie would appreciate the sentiment...



Raise a glass, my friends!

...filled with so many work hassles and niggling things, I have only one thing to say.

I can has go back to Dragon*Con now.

Kthanxbye.

And it was the best D*Con I've ever had. Seriously. So many frickin' stories...liquid apple pie...Ghost Hunter Grant and Tango...Bree...Paddle Girl...Peanut Butter Jelly Time...the Cap'n Filly Bear...the Bohemian Rhapsody Walk...the elevator...oy.

Many stories and con photos to come, trust me...but for now, I need to get caught up on things...then ugh. Back to work. Not like I'm going to get much done, but you know. :-)

It was a TOTAL BLAST!!!!!!!!

Back...uh...later.

Have a blast this Labor Day, because I'm gonna try!!

WOOT!

Three out of the last five years, going to Dragon*Con has involved driving towards a hurricane. In 2004, it was Frances, in 2005 it was Katrina, and now in 2008, looks like it's gonna be Gustav.

Which adds a whole new degree of difficulty. Hoo boy!

Okay, so D*Con plans are a little more on track...we were running around like madwomen last night and were up past 11, but we got a lot of crap done. Managed to find another pair of jeans to rip up for the Wayne costume...I was trying on a dozen pairs in the dressing room at Goodwill, none of them were fitting...then on a lark, I tried on the pair that someone had left hanging in there...and they fit perfectly. Ahhh! Woot!

Then I had a good lesson...Friday the 13th for the win and Shawn's going to really work my bass up right for free...then we were packing machines last night. Woof. We'll have two medium bags and two smaller bags, plus our guitars. And we'll be splitting the group and going three to a car. Oh boy oh boy! So tonight will be showers and last minute packing. I'm so excited I could spit. :-)

But I'm actually in a pretty good mood today, so here's to tackling the last of it!

Quote of the Day -- "So bring me two pina coladas, I want one for each hand...let's set sail with Captain Morgan, and we'll never leave dry land..." -- from "Two Pina Coladas" by Garth Brooks

That's what I need. It's becoming apparent to me that I can work like absolute gangbusters from 715am to 130pm...then I just sort of curl up and die. I'm never as productive in the last couple hours of work. Lazy? Maybe...I tend to call it more of a 'burnout.' Brain sez, 'that's it, I'm done.' And I've got so much other crap to do and think about that it's not hard at all to ignore work, nosireebob.

So I'll sit here and open the rest of my mail...two and a half days until D*Con!

And damn, I can't even find and interesting quiz to take...

...this time going out to Ms. Barbalicious herself, fashionista_35!

Have a great one, dahling!

Full of running, full of activity, and mostly full of wank. Woot woot.

But now, I've got three days until D*Con...and I was on the verge of being overwhelmed with everything to do, everything to see, etc etc...and I've made a decision.

I'm not going to plan.

If I don't get into a panel, that's fine.

If I don't manage to get my picture with a Ghost Hunter, that's fine.

If I'm unable to wade through Nathan Fillion's sure-to-be-huge autograph line, that's fine.

If I don't get into any of the exclusive, invite-only parties, that's fine.

All I want is to catch an Emerald Rose show, a Bards show, see my friends, roam around in costume, and just have a good time

It's amazing how much stress that takes out of the equation. :-)

D*Con minus 3!!!

Oy! It's Friday, Twin's at the State Fair, and I've been at work for almost half-an-hour...and while I've started several tasks, I haven't finished any yet. Woof.

Tonight is dinner for congoddess's boyfriend's birthday.

Sunday is museum/lunch run with family.

Next week is a three day week because of *gulp* Dragon*Con.

D*Con less than a week away!

AHHHHH!!

*pants for breath*

Okay. Need to focus.

Need. To. Focus.

Which, naturally means I'll be back here posting within an hour, LOL!
