Sunny Skies, Cloudy Mind

[eggwards]

It's already turning out to be an odd day since I was supposed to go out to the Texas Renaissance Festival, but everyone who was to go with me has called off. Now I'm debating going alone or not (I know, start up the choruses of Poor, Poor Pitiful Me, and Alone Again, Naturally.)

I'm looking at finances and wondering if it's wise to go at all this morning,as I see the bank account dwindling, and I knew I had my heart set on buying a silver ring to replace my frat ring. Of course, this is as I click on the PayPal link to finish my registration for Fiesta de Los Osos. I'm not even sure I can afford the hotel, or the plane flight, but I guess I thought I'd get the spot before they are all gone.

Yeah. That kind of morning.

Last night I had gone out with Kip (scarabbear) for dinner, since I was going to borrow the kilt for the festival. While we were out, I got a call from Chris saying that he was in Oklahoma at TCC retreat and they didn't have him on the list as having signed up for the retreat, so they didn't have a place for him, and he was very upset. Here I was wanting to do something, anything, but all I could do was talk on the phone when I would have rather have been there to console him to try to make things better.

I know, being on the phone was something.

Still, it's just another one of those things that distance just makes that much harder, and today, I'd give a lot to be with him. Kip and I make a good lamenting club as he's also involved in a long distance relationship, but his is much, much farther away.

Perhaps Sunday is the better day for the festival after all, since it's a hop, skip and a jump to the free dinner with the parents that's the usual finish for a homebound weekend.

Anyone free tonight?

I remember the days of tight wallets and double digit bank balances....Oh Wait..Thats now.

For a ring....save a bit more and get a white gold ring. Prettier and the nickle content keeps the ring from tarnishing. Its also good for those who have skin allergies to yellow gold.

I'd give anything for Edmonton to have more festivals but the Folkfest and Heritage Day seem to be the only ones.

Have a good weekend either way.

Actually, you'll save an hour by just going directly to the festival site, so I'll meet you there, OK? If it gets to be after 2, I'm not going to wait any longer!

Thanks, I'll work to make the best of it somehow!

As for the ring, my current ring is silver as well (I had it made at Disney World some 10 years ago) and its a frat - as in fraternity ring, with the letters of my fraternity in it. I think it's time to put that away for now.

Houston's full of fall festivals, though it doesn't seem that they really publicized them as well this year.
