Hammocks

Yesterday evening (after 8 hours in the bookmines + 2 hours travel time), Lucy and I had the coolest water gun fight. I laughed so much, as did she, and I felt so alive and rejuvenated!  I had resisted the lure of the water guns at first - "I'm too tired Lucy" "I just got home from work" "Maybe tomorrow" I whined.  Fortunately, I shook myself out of this mode and pretty quickly, too.

Water gun fights with Lucy are better than a cup of coffee, or chocolate sundaes, or blackberry cobbler.  The water so cool on your back, as she leaps out of the bushes and squirts you down. It made me smile so much to hear her laughter and see her grin. We ran through the house shooting each other, then we ran into the front yard (after a re-fill) and she pinned me to front door, and then we scurried to the hammock out back.  As we lay swinging in our new hammock (thank you for that wonderful sale Target), we shot each other and giggled, and then shot into the sky creating hydro fireworks. A wonderful evening it was and I'm glad I was able to shift out of my work mind and into our life!

Black & White Tour March 13, 2011

While I worked in the book mines, my lovely family chased Pokemon




they brought home stamps, buttons, pins, charms, an Oshawatt, a Snivey, a Reshiram, a Zorua, smiles, laughs, memories of great friends and a great time. Though I wish I had been there, I wouldn't trade their fun and joy for anything!

MoMo Con 2011

Taran and I spent got to go on an adventure together (poor Lucy stayed home sick and my sweet Chuck kept her company and entertained. We went to MoMo Con! The two of us really enjoy Anime and Manga and wanted to go see what we could see. It was also our first Con together - Taran and Lucy had visited Dragon Con together and Chuck and I used to go years ago (though last year we did all go see the parade). It was a very exciting event for me - I love conventions - the panels, the props, the discussions, the costumes, the fun!

We sat in on the RPG 101 panel - it was cool to hear Taran comment and laugh at the inside jokes. We saw some amazing costumes - Fire Nation, Earth Nation, Water Nation, Ninjas from many villages, Pokemon and trainers, members of the Soma House, Mei and Satsuki, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen, Link (toon and humanoid), got to hang out with some friends (some far too briefly), ate at Waffle House, took many photos (even of Kyo), visited with friends, ate Pocky ,plus, I got a free hug, and had an all around fun time.
