Magic Bloomers Ride

[Lucy]

Hehehehe... okay! Time for a new thread! (I hope you don't mind Phee...I took it upon myself to just start it...lol) Luv ya sis! *hugglez*


Just sittin here watching the Sooooper Bowel..... Ahem, I mean super bowl.... oh ya know, the game the guys watch to entertain themselves once a year...

Well actually, I don't mind since I got to party a bit too!! Pats are my home team and if they win I'll proudly wear my winter Pats jacket once again... lol. :)

*hugglez*

[rosefaeries]

Super Bowl was "this" weekend? Guess you can tell I don't have tv reception up here in the mountains. (insert very wide evil grin here) How was the game? And were the new commercials any good?

[Phoenix McHeit]

Well Luce... break out that jacket, sweets! Personally I didn't care who won for the game's sake... I'm just glad the Eagles didn't... cuz I didn't want to have to deal with the entire state being loopy-nuts for the next month.

..........Magic Bloomers Ride........???????
:snarf::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: oh man Luce... you don't wanna know the image that's in my brain now!!!!! :aok:

So... where's the Courtesy Table go in here? and did we transfer the Corner of Chaos for dear Po? Tis YOUR baby now, Luce! *Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a*

[po silvertop the rogue]

Quoth the Tall Wench...
and did we transfer the Corner of Chaos for dear Po?

hmm.. apparently we've reached a point where merely *mentioning* the corner of chaos is enough to create one... ("thanks Roscofog!)

Ahem- (looking around).. I say, these are the *roomiest* bloomers I've ever found myself in! :twisted: :lol: :P :wink: (ducks behind couch in self defence!)

Ah, Monday... sigh.... (I'll try to get that Herring photo done sonetime this week- there's far too many jokes and straightlines inherent in that not to exploit it to the fullest... and I'm sure it'll get fenced with again this coming Sat. at the Feast of the 7 Deadly Sins)

Cue the chorus: "Sell the books, sell the books.."

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

"The magic bloomers?" Does this mean my scanties can appear and disappear at will? I dunno if I like that idea LOL

Yes I am here, and the rogue and I didn't even need a complete change of blood, even tho we stayed up past midnite from post SB adrenaline-rush....sigh

I'm not gonna wallow or be depressed, the last time Philly made it this far I was four. So I'm thankful and still one happy wench.

[Lady Sarah]

ugh, the commercials were less than impressive. I only saw two that I liked - the Burt Reynolds FedEx commercial (featuring a dancing bear that kicked him in the nuts) and the Bud Light cockatiel. the rest were.. just bland.

the FCC should be shot. :evil:

Good Morning!

Luce... been raiding my garb closet, eh? Magic Bloomers... ::snerf::

[Phoenix McHeit]

I liked the Fed-Ex one.. but I was screaming in laughter at the one (can't remember the 'real' product they were hawking) with the Mama's Boy Action Figures...... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

geeeeee... think I might have dealt with one or two in my lifetime? *grin*

[Margaret]

I was happily downstaris sewing during the the SB. Got my sleeves done and now just have to decide on shoulder treatments and something for the waist line..


Morning all!!!!!!

[Artemisia]

:shock: We're inside someone's bloomers?

Make way, bringing in the alpacas from the carpet...

[Lady Sarah]

heh.... some things I learned over the weekend... and I apologize if you've heard this from me earlier today... and remember, all spelling errors missed in previewing are brought to you courtesy of Ace bandages.

... thigh high fishnets don't really like stayind up under Prince John boots and bloomers.

... 9 feet of ribbon is just a hair too much for lacing up the back of aforementioned Prince John boots. But it leads to a wondeefrul effect when wrapped and tied into a bow in front of the knee.

... put your socks on BEFORE you put your fishnest on. ::winces at the trussed ham markings on the soles of her feet - still::

... be careful whom you wench - you might end up with a stalker.

... if Lady Sarah and Neeloca won't say it in public, it doesn't need to be said at all.

... when attempting to tint fabric with tea, make sure you don't overcook the tea - you'll wind up with regular brown tint instead of the rich ruby red pomegrante color.

... sometimes wadding up fabric at the bottom of a bucket of dye leads to wonderful color mottling on your linen.

... before you do anything with your 100% linen fabric, serge the raw edges. Your washing machine spindle/agitator will love you, as will your other fabrics, not to mention you'll keep your original cut measurements.

... Keep a written journal of your measurements, dye recipes, how to make certain pieces. It'll make things easier to replicate when they wear out or if a sister wench asks you "How did you do that?"

[Dmitri]

... be careful whom you wench - you might end up with a stalker.

I've seen this happen ALOT... Danes usually don't 'get it'...



... sometimes wadding up fabric at the bottom of a bucket of dye leads to wonderful color mottling on your linen.

As someone who HATES pristine garb... this sounds COOL as hell... I'm the guy that trys something on from Moresca and says, "In 5 or 10 years of beatings and rain and sun, this will look REALLY cool..."

[Lucy]

So... where's the Courtesy Table go in here? and did we transfer the Corner of Chaos for dear Po? Tis YOUR baby now, Luce! *Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a*

LOLOL! Nooooo....I just named the room babes! You are still the queen...lol. I am SOOOO sorry PO!!! I didn't realize that a name was picked out for the new thread already. :( My Bad!

*sets up the courtesy table with coffee & cinnamon rolls*

Morning everyone!!! :D

[Lady Sarah]

I've seen this happen ALOT... Danes usually don't 'get it'...

no kidding. We thought wenching the Zamboni driver would be a cool thing... he kind of stuck to us the rest of the night. :sigh: live and learn.

well, I couldn't find any fuschia dye to mix with the purple, and I had to get the stuff dyed so I could work on it , so I dyed a lot of things at once. I was more worried about the aztec print and the paisley print turning out too dark, so I kept them at the top of the bucket and kept crushing the linen down to the bottom. So, the aztec and paisley turned out great, the linen a lovely marbled color of fuschia, purple-gray, lavender and violet. Can't wait to see the whole thing made up!

Flying bloomers???

Well, I am still soaring with my eagles from Saturday. For those who don't know, I saw over 350 bald eagles over the weekend...and they had nothing to do with the Super Bowl...these were the real things. Skweeee!!!! Now more importantly, did the popcorn machine come with all the other furniture?

Yes. It's over there behind that infernal spinning wheel ( points vaguely off behind Apros) that I am hoping some roque can terrify into behaving. :( It won't listen to me. I spend more time fixing it than I do spinning with it lately. :augh: And I want that shawl before this fall. Can't knit it until the yarn is spun, washed , blocked & dried. grumble. Where is Biker with the BFH?

[Bonnie Strangeways]

Huzzah Lucy! Thanks for the pretty new playpen!!!!

Sarah, I know exactly what you mean re:stalkers. There's really no help for it, as Dmitri said, 'Danes just don't seem to *get* the fact that it's a SHOW!!

Well, our Performance on Friday went well. We did three sets, the crod ate it up. We had two drunken asshats in the first set, but the Brute Squad took it in hand and after they were escorted out, the rest of the evening went swimingly.

*Lifting head from sleep depravated slump*

Hi guys!
nice new play ground Luce!!

Hmmm the Stupor Bowl.... This is the first year in a really long time that it was not on on this house..... Mum was outta town.

Didn't go to school cuz I have a cold and got stuck with babysitting my 2 year old nephew. I love the little bugger but why is the favorite word of lil' one's every where NO!!!

Ugh I need to go back to bed!

[Margaret]

*Mags staggers in and fops on the couch in a heap.*

What a day!! Cold, nasty, rainy, wet weather. Spent all day on the road driving clients hither and yon. The bright spot was lunch at La Shish - shwarma yummmmmm.

Taking a quick break before getting dinner ready. It's meatloaf night!!

[Artemisia]

Hello all.
:grouphug:

I'm so tired. I've packed over 70 orders today, which is insane for me.
:faint:
::notices packing tape on clothing, removes it but the alpaca eats it before it is thrown away::

See you've had a heck of a day too Mags ::hugs::

[Margaret]

Yup. It never was a bad day, I was just all over BFE and back. A few times.
Never knew how tired one can get just driving.

Then fighting the rain and I-696, which in these here parts, is nicknamed the Autoban.

*Mags starts gummblin about asshat drivers doing 90 mph on a rain covered road with nice high cement walls as shoulders.... :roll:


Off to make meatloaf.

*Hugs to Arte* Hope you can relax the rest of the night too. :D

[Branwen]

You know it's really weired to see everyone post how bad their day was, when mine only just begun. I get to work at 1p & don't get off the phones until 10p. It's really strange to see everyone get ready for dinner, when I', just eating my lunch.

Strange, strange world.... & people.

[Margaret]

Back in the days before I was wed, I lived with a roomie who was on midnights. I was on days. There was always something going on at our house due to hours. We would manage, once in a while to meet for breakfast/dinner. :D

Lucky thing she and I were able to work it out so we could sleep...

[rosefaeries]

I figured a different BFH might make an impression. And I have been using a drop spindle and various support spindles. I need this Lincoln fleece spun up in a hurry. I need the shawl for an event this fall.
And run very far & fast. :) You have no idea of how many fleeces I have. Last time I checked, I had about 100. And that was before I bartered for more. :twisted: Maybe I should go to a wool anynomous meeting. Hi my name is Rose and I have a wool......Oh look a llama.

[Margaret]

Ya know Rose, with all the llamas and alpacas running loose here, you can probably get some fine wool by just walking around... :lol:

*Mags is rummaging around the Bloomers - sounds so wrong, I know, I know, but I also know that the sugar tongs are around here somewhere I packed them myself for the move. Ah well...


Morning all and everyone! Busy day again in the life of an employement specialist. However, I get to go up to the MIRF offices and touch base with folks there. They are donating some things to an fundraising auction my comapny is having, so I am going to go and fetch them. (Yes, a Peterson owned faire is donating something - the people who actually run MIRF are kind and giving people, even if he is not.)

[Lady Sarah]

MEEP!!! hey! watch where you aim those sugar tongs!! :lol:

[Phoenix McHeit]

Ok.... lemme get this straight... Mags put sugar tongs in Lucy's BLOOMERS??? :shock:

And let me remind you.... you were the one who packed the Courtesy Table and the Chaos corner in the bloomers. Dang, Lucy is going to need bigger skirts soon.......

[Lady Sarah]

does that mean that the parties are no longer in my skirts? :(

[rosefaeries]

Ya know Rose, with all the llamas and alpacas running loose here, you can probably get some fine wool by just walking around... :lol:

:lol: I did see one over there looking like he was sporting a new mohawk.....


My friend has a large alpaca rug in her bck spare room. When Erin was younger - about 3- we used to find her in there all rolled up in the rug because is was sooooooooooooo soft. :roll:

That's my kiddo a hedonist from the word go.

[Lucy]

Oh and just FYI....it was either the magic bloomers ride or the beaver hut.... :weezows:

[Margaret]

*hugs to you Luce!!*

Doing just fine in spite of the cold, rainy, dreary weather. Get to do a bunch of running around today - nothing like yesterday when I was on the road all day...

To top it off, some areas of the country celebrate Fat Tuesday. Around here it is Paczki Day. Pronounced 'Punch-Key', these caloric delights are filled pastries and a Polish tradition. Fillings include prune, lemon, strawberry, apple and anything else you can stuff in. Paczki are high in fat and high in calories (about 600 per) and eaten to celebrate the begining of Lent. Also, presumably made with a ton of lard and sugar to empty out the larder and get some calories in the system in aniticipation for the fasts that were to come during Lent.

They are wonderful..... :yum:

[Margaret]

Oh and just FYI....it was either the magic bloomers ride or the beaver hut.... :weezows:


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

beaver hut

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Lucy]

Yes yes, my work has too fallen captive to the Fat Tuesday excuse to have a bunch of food here. I'll be avoiding the breakroom today. I don't need to get any more depressed about my weight so I'm better off. I put on 10 pounds since I went on vacation back in September. :roll: I don't usually get this way, but this is bad...real bad. :cry:

[Margaret]

I'm sorry that you feel like that Lucy. <hugs>

I am at my 'winter weight' too. My clothing isn't fitting any differently and I don't own a scale, so I don't know what amount I have added. Just have the winter sluggies. Come spring, though, I will get more active and feel better.

I did find a new bikini though last week. Look darn good in it too - so that made me feel better...

[Lucy]

Hehe...BIKINI?!?!?! Lordy, I wouldn't even think of that! LOL! Anywho...sorry to interrupt the fun with my misery!

We now return to our regularly scheduled bloomer fun! :)

[biker]

ya'll miss me??

bunch of crap this AM I'll get into later. loads fun.

ROLF Fiber and kids are usually a good combination. At least from the kids point of view. My youngest son went missing once in the house. We looked everywhere for him. By the time I found him, my oldest son was tearing the neighborhood apart looking for the 1 year old. Anyway, Hunter had made himself a nest in my show fleeces in my bedroom. He dumped the fleeces out of their bags, laid out his blanket on top of them, made himself comfortable and went to sleep. I was so relieved to find him that I didn't care that he was sleeping in the middle of the unwashed fleeces. And since it was so cold, (we were having freezing weather at the time) I left him sleeping there. FIgured he would be warmer sleeping there than in his crib.

Yes, it would probably help you, but probably do him little to no good. Is the meth something he's done in the past or a new and different drug of choice?

Geeze Bran, I was just hoping Biker would help me put these in my collection books. What were you thinking?! :wink:

Speaking of the stinkin' llamas......

I watch The Amazing Race (darn I wish Kris and John would have won...). So here they are, showing scenes from the next season - which starts up again in 3 weeks.

The contestans first stop in the leg of the race is Lima, Peru. Know what they got in Lima. Yuppers! LLAMAS!

So there I am, in my nice and cozy bed trying to fall asleep when all I can think is llama, llama, duck.... :roll:

Morning everybodeeeeeeeeee! :)

*hugglez*

So whats going on today??? Me? I'm getting my pod partner prepared to possibly take over my work for the next to weeks...why you ask? I have been assigned and chosen by the ultimate evil ones to serve Jury Duty....wheeeeee! :evil: NOT! SO....if'n you all don't see me 'round these here parts for a bit, you'll know why! Personally, I think they should have computer access at the court house for the jurors sitting in the pool who haven't been chosen to actually serve on a case... but who am I to try and make it more fun??? :lol:

I was just remembering you slipping on a Pickle a few threads back & I was back visualizing you in a green pickle suit. Or was that........


Ohh never mind I digress.

Good morning all. Just got up & will need to get ready for work in about an hour.

[Apropos]

GOOOOD Moaning Everyone! What a great day, what a beautiful wonderful humperific day!!!!

[Lucy]

Yay! Appies in a good mood I see??!! *hugglez* LUVLUVLUVLUV!

Did someone say pickles???

Bwaahhh hhhha ha...good mood or good drugs???

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

removes mardi gras beads from neck, locks up the chocolate in a safe and hands The Key to Po. *Sigh*

Well it's Ash Wednesday, folks and that means it's the first day of Lent, which means no chocolate for me 'til Easter Sunday...Sigh. I entrust thee to distribute and allocate the contents of this safe where applicable, Suentus.

I hate when Lent starts this early, now the rogue has no idea what to get me for Val Day! LOL [/i]

He could get you white chocloate...........

It's chocloate that is not chocloate..



Yep I have lost my self on that one.

He could stratigically cover spots of you with chocolate...that doesn't count either. Or did he give it up for Lent too???

OMG, it's only 1:30pm? It feels like 3:00pm (guess I'm on Central time now)

Still got llama on the brain :augh: :rotfl:

[Margaret]

You know what's funny. I grew up in a Central time zone (interesting trivia: Gogebic County is the only county in Michigan on Central ). It's still easier for me to think in 'Central Time Zone'.

When I first went to college, I kept missing my favorite TV shows because they were all on an hour later than 'normal'. :roll:

[Adriana Rose]

The time zones confuse the heck outta me!

My BF lived in Oaklahoma and I always forgot the time thing and called at 11 at night and so on..... I get confused really easy though.
:roll:

[Apropos]

I hate central time....I miss everything that should be on a 8 is now on at 7. At least AZ had someone smart enough to hit the Prime Time button and the shows were on at 8. The only time that it was good was Monday NIght Football started live so in AZ I got to sleep before midnight.

WE ARE BACK!!!!

According to Snipe, we have lost about a weeks worth of post, but WE ARE BACK!!!!

Yay!! Does this mean I don't have to try & have conversations with my boys that don't involve video games?(Evil grin 3 day weekend with the hooligans and all they want to do is play video games.) And my boyfriend couldn't understand why I was missing all of you. Sigh some men.

[rosefaeries]

So would anyone care for some chai tea? I have a fresh pot going. (What am I saying, I always have a fresh pot going.) Black tea chai or green tea chai ? Lots of milk to add to the tea and cane sugar too. (Honey makes the chai taste funny)

[Margaret]

Oh!! I'll take some. Just have to wait until I finish up my cuppa Earl Grey here.

Hubby has been plugged into World of Warcraft all day, now he's watching cars go around in circles - yup, he's a NASCAR fan too.

Erin's over here on the couch, recovering from being sick :(
I'm taking a break from sewing...

Other than the snotty kid, a nice relaxing day!

[Adriana Rose]

AHHHHHH I am stuck in retirement land!!!

Just got in to Arizona and to my grand parents house.


But there is a perk here I am 15 min away from the fair here :)
So that will help a little.


This is gonna be an interesting week that is for sure.

Have as much as you would like. Things are frustrating here. I have one boy in bed sick and the other one is bouncing all over bored. Guess you can only "I will not serve a false king" so many times in a day. (My youngest son is a fan of Quest for Camelot)

Ahhhhhhhhhh...... :D the serger... has been exorcised. The sewing room is cle-ah...

Yes, it is!! BAHAHAHAAAA!!! I even got a new chemise ripped off, two more bloomers and my sash!

it's such a pretty little machine, yes'ms is... have a cookie...

[Branwen]

Good morning all. I was going through some severe Wench withdraw this past few days. You can only talk so much about nothing with your co-workers. They either want to talk about the NBA, or their character sheets. Must say, not too interested in either one. I do understand a little about D&D and of course I have played a Magic with my brother a few years back, so I understand when they talk about that as well. But, mainly they want to discuss selling the cards on E-Bay.
This weekend I was busy shopping again. Mom & I went to Target & we bought some jewlery. I got some really nice earrings & a natural pearl necklace that will go GREAT with my Garb. I also went shopping at Wal-Mart with my Brother. I bought some clothes for me & a nice shirt for my Brother. I also bought some DVD's & a game for my Brother as well.
Geez, spending money can be tiring.

Glad that the boards are back up. Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend & if you have the Holiday off, hope you enjoy the day as well.

[Larkspur]

There's nothing like, signing up for OT, tearing out of the house, getting to work mith minutes to spare...

[b]THEN FINDING OUT IT'S BEEN CANCELLED :cuss:

But other than that, I hope everyone's had a nice weekend, enjoy your holiday, I love work!

Besides, now I get to calmly have some munchies and catch up, could be worse.

[Apropos]

Good morning everyone!!!

I did a little sewing this weekend, and I finish each seam with a zig zag stitch...SEVERAL times I thought how great a serger would be. And since I just got my refund check from Uncle Sam...maybe I will go shopping and buy one now. Hmmm, new couch and pay some bills...or new serger????? Which way do I go???

[Lady Laurel]

Geez, spending money can be tiring.

Its like chocolate. Its the let down afterwards.

[Margaret]

HOLA!!

Just checking in from 'run away' central!!

After a grand blizzard yesterday, I thought my trip to Lansing was going to be hellish. Getting out of my side streets was hellish, but once on the free way, it was pretty smooth sailing. The conference is going OK and is a bit interesting. May even learn something.

Oh, look! It's martini night over here at the Sheraton bar...... :bananada: Not really a huge martini fan, but, hey - got no one to answer to but myself tonight. May just go toss one back. :wink:

[Artos O'Dalriada]

Allo all, figured I'd pop in for a quick hello. we've moved up a bit and now have cable internet (woohoo!), and it's nice to have both pc's up and running.

[Morghan]

Oh bother - I seem to have lost not only posts but a pair of lips.. Now I'm going to have to get the Red Sonja thread started all over again..

[Branwen]

Good evening all. Slow day at work today. Guess there wasn't much of an interest from people in checking their bank accounts. I had to go grocery shopping this evening after work. I'm going to make Stuffed Shells for a pot luck at work. I bought all kinds of fresh veggies, italian sausage, hamburger, chopped proschitto (sp?), and 3 kinds of mushrooms. I'm going to have to get up early Wednesday to make sure that everything is fixed & cooked by the time I leave for work. Is anyone interested in helping out. I promise to give you the first serving.

[Morghan]

Geez, spending money can be tiring.

Its like chocolate. Its the let down afterwards.

Chocolate - ambrosia to sooth the savage beasts.. and as luck would have it (thank Eros and Eris) while hunting down office supplies Sunday after our Baronial Meeting - there sitting stately in the "clearance bin" was an extra LARGE box of Toblerone..

And of course, I couldn't pass up a bargain... :twisted: especially on Toblerone..

Now - I just a bottle of meade - and .. umm.. errr.. ohhhh.. humm.... a yummy angel - yea, that's it.. a yummy angel.. and I'm all set.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Branwen]

Now - I just a bottle of meade - and ..
Morghan, I can help out with the Meade. I have a bottle of Bunratty from Ireland, and a bottle from the Rocky Mountain Meaderyin Colorado. I bought the Burnatty from a local grocery chain here in S.A. & the Rocky Mountain form the meadery. I flew up there mainly for the Meade a few years back.

[po silvertop the rogue]

<Yawn!>

Sorry! Post Steel-Therapy exertion... :D

Morghan- you might have lost some lips/posts.. but I lost a book review.. (must remember to post it again when time permits... maybe tonight... & I have to start writing *next* Wed's review- due to be submitted on Fri....)

Hmm.. Mead? I racked batch 2 on Sunday morning... Vanilla-Ginger Mead. I should have it ready before the Endless Mt. Medieval Festival- Beware the Sheriff!

Look, Look! One of the Tall Ones has surfaced! (You'd think someone that big would not have hidden so easily! :lol: )

right... Sell the books!

ps.. *yes* I'm still showing the wrong damn zodiac... don't ask me why!

[Phoenix McHeit]

Look, Look! One of the Tall Ones has surfaced! (You'd think someone that big would not have hidden so easily! :lol: )

And here cometh the other Tall One

Sorry for being out of touch lately - we were in the process of getting cable internet. One would think it wouldn't be that much of a deal... *sigh* not so for this Techno-Dummy. But anyway... we're both up & running now. Now all that's left is to fight with Earthlink that , yes, I really DO want to cancel service, and NO I wouldn't like to discuss alternative options to stay with the company. :sigh:

ANYway.... Laundry is calling me (even with my earplugs in, I can still hear the durned thing) so I must be off for the mome.

Hugs & Love!

Well.. while I haven't sampled Batch #2 yet, I *can* say the the scent of Ginger when I opened the carbuoy was *so* damn tempting that I immediately wanted to run out to Katana's (the local Hibachi eatery) just for their Ginger salad-dressing... But self-control saved the day! :wink:

Although we're already discussing potential recipies for Batch #3 (may go back to Vanilla-Clove again... get a batch in before berry season opens...)

Which means I'm gonna start showing up in the dead of night at specific households, looking to claim back empty bottles.. so I can re-fill 'em :wink: (*that's* my story.. yup...)

Two! *Two* Tall Ones! It's beginning to look like Fanghorn Forest 'round here! :lol:

Ah yes.. post-steel exhuberance / exertion.. and by any other name... :lol: although my dances were a bit off and out of focus last night - but I guess I can blame that on a full day of moving furnature and stuff prior to.. I must admit though - between all of it, I have a body full of really achy, sore, and stiff muscles.. I think me, hot showers, and the heat pad are going to be *buddies* today.. 8)

Wow.. lots of meade.. start passing the bottles.. (especially today) :twisted: -- for medicinal purposes ya know :wink:

Well it seems at least one of the tall ones have surfaced.. Artos, my dear brother - I miss you.. Its good to see you guys back online..

OK, off to take my munchkin to work.. more later...

Mornin' All
:grouphug:

Didn't do much this weekend except for packing orders and working at the shop. Had a couple come in all the way from Piscataway NJ (2 hours south) just for the Sofi's Stitches clothing! They just started with Ren Faires, so I told the lady about the Guild. She didn't know it existed. But I had to tell her about it because she said she and her husband are ready to retire soon and she wants to move to a place close to her favorite renaissance fair - now THAT'S a wench if I ever heard one. And added points for FaireFolk Corruptness.

::Notices bottles of mead, brings out rum flask, takes a swig to empty the flask, raises flask in anticipation::
Ooo, Ooo, may I have some mead please?

[Branwen]

'K so we have discount chocolate, the making for stuffed shells, and lots o' Meade. Anything else we want to bring along for the picnic?
I think we should say the heck with work today, and play hookey. Day doesn't promise to look the greatest, but I don't feel like going to work today.

I just want to go to Faire. That's my problem. Faire is getting closer each day. Only 18 more days for the start of Excalibur Faire.

Did someone keep the carpet from the last thread? We will need something to sit on so we don't grass stains. Besides, Po would be able to appear in a wonderous puff of smoke when the food is ready, or when the drinks are poured.

If we can get the harum of burly Rogues to read the books to us, and perhaps "entertain" It would be a wonderful Picnic today. Of course a number of Wenches would be willing to help read to said Rogues as well.

www.getsuckered.com They have jamaican run and regular rum flavor. I was trying to find a source for dark rum but so far, no luck......You can also try http://www.lorannoils.com/gourmet_homepage.htm for candy flavors as well

[Morghan]

hmmm.. Picnic... Bloomers.... Cookies.... Mead... Massage Oil... I like it..<very big grin>

Humm.. an inspired moment.. if I so may ammend - my previous comment and add..

A Masseuse and Rogues - reading sonnets, prose, belles-lettres, or even... 'rhapsody in motion'

As for the steel -- Any time - any day... got a bag o'doom in the front hall - and a few smaller pieces of steel here in the office just waiting for a bit of exercise :wink: And actually - a bit of steel-play would indeed enhance the overall picnic experience...

But isn't being a bad influence a good thing? I would much rather corrupt on a day screaming for a Picnic, than going to work & wishing I wasn't there. Alas, I must get ready for said Foul Four lettered word. I do want to go to Faire in two weeks. I must have means to pay for the weekend. But, I will be dreaming of a wonderous picnic with Rogues, Meade, chocolate, stuffed shells, readings. Ahh, I'm flashing back to the rendition of "My Favorite Things" song. :cheer:

I wanna go to Faire!!! :tantrum:

Can add some other things to the picnic. I have some chocolate dipped strawberries that needs to be shared. Please help yourself.


Gotta go, hope to lurk or possibly post later when at work.

Song: My Favorite Things Lyrics

Friends at the Ren Faire that I plan on meeting
All of the Faire food I plan on eating
Wenches in bodices all tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Groups like The Lost Boys and Three Quarter Ale
May play the same songs but they won’t go stale
The Washer Well Wench Show and the smiles they bring
These are a few of my favorite things

The Rogueings and Wrenchings with songs that are bawdy
The Wenches at after-hours acting all naughty
The horrible songs at the pub we all sing
These are a few of my favorite things

When the faire ends
When Work stinks
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Ah..... yes... that fragile, yet welded symbol of renewal.. with delicate wings [outstretched] spread to grasp and welcome new life while embracing and capturing the soul. She is the seed buried beneath the frozen alluvium, coming to new life, by the sun's warmth - She is passion - She is love - She is hope - She is life.. Within her breast beats the cycle of return - She is thewhirlwind that lays in wait - in that eternal moment between the Moon & Sun... and you find [in that magickal moment in time] you have become a slave to her pertinacious beauty!

She is the seed buried beneath the frozen alluvium, coming to new life, by the sun's warmth - She is passion - She is love - She is hope - She is life.. Within her breast beats the cycle of return - She is thewhirlwind that lays in wait - in that eternal moment between the Moon & Sun... and you find [in that magickal moment in time] you have become a slave to her pertinacious beauty!

Man, why can't I come up with stuff like that? I'm never *that* inspired! :-(

[Artos O'Dalriada]

*evil grin* Po, anytime you can get your tin can down here, i'll be more than happy to get the steel out. Sis, yeah, but your my sis, might get wierd :P Mags, sure! hehe....
ANYWHO....

[Morghan]

Man, why can't I come up with stuff like that? I'm never *that* inspired! :-(

M'dearest sis Fiona... prior to 11 years ago - I was an aspiring writer - even started a fantasy novel that had a few publishers biting at the bit.. additionally, I was interviewed by an Author and included in her dissertation.. I have always loved to write..

Then - well - let's just say.. the Muse's did not simply just leave me.. they ran with utmost speed and diligence... and only recently have they found their way back into my life...I still have not been able to sit down and pick up that novel again - but - I'm working towards that end.. as well as on my documentary on Women Warrior's.. (which is also a class I teach within the SCA and at Pennsic).

Maybe.. if I can get my guitar fixed - I might even be able to compose again.. have to wait and see what the Muse's have in mind....and when and where inspiration will hit...

[Margaret]

So am I the tiniest wench at a whopping 4' 11"?

Boy! You are a tiny thing!! So far, my dear Artemisia, I think you win the shorty award.

I check in at a whopping 5' 3" too. However, what was that Mor said.. a yes;

Short, incendiary, tenacious and always ready to play. :twisted:

I LIKE that!!

And now for something completely different....to ease the minds of all you llama lovers out there....

[Margaret]

OH!! The poor llama (llama, llama, duck) *sorry :oops: reflex action* Glad all turned out well.

Won't be making Chat tonight as the computer here in the lobby won't support it *drat* :?

Off to nab some danish and some coffe before this days round starts.

*Mags sets up the coffee and tea and swipes some of the sweet breads from the conference table, throws them into the teleporter and they appear on the table in the Bloomers Thread*

Have a good day all!!!

[Lady Sarah]

~yawns greatly and stares at the monitor for a few seconds~

Good Morning... I think... it's raining here... on a positive note, the lightening shows this morning were fantastic. Just wish I could have enjoyed them while not driving. :?

There's piggies in a blanket, fresh and warm from the bakery, and cinnamon coffee with cream.

~snags a mug and toddles off to curl up in the pillows in a corner where it's dark and quiet~

[Artos O'Dalriada]

~sneaks a blankie in and covers sawah wif it~ just in case it gets chilly you know.
Yeah, Mags, I found that llama thing last night on a Dave Barry blog, showed Phee, and got "ooh you gotta post that to the board!!" in my ear :P

[Artemisia]

And now for something completely different....to ease the minds of all you llama lovers out there....

"The llama's owner, Celia Bennett, said today that the animal had escaped with 10 others after a gate was left open."

I have me 10 little llamas! :twisted:

::Artemisia raises hand in Horshakic fashion::
Ooooo, keep me in the loop! Now even more of a reason to go to Pennsic this year! Who are you camping with? :thinking:

[WenchyMom]

Good morning Rogues and Wenches I have GREAT NEWS!

I have internet at home now!!!!! I can now come by and play anytime I want!!! I'm so lucky.

::does the happy happy joy joy dance::

however the downside would be after a quick trip to Iowa, myself, one roguling, and my wench in training have the flu. So I'll step in my bubble with my cup of hot tea, and try to play for a little bit.

Well, I'll be somewhere between the Barony of Endless Hills & House Neptune (I think).. 'not enough coffee yet.. still fuzzy'... Last Pennsic (after trying for about 6 years) was the first year they approved the class to be taught at Pennsic and it turned out really well - so hopefully they won't give me grief this year - now that I have set the prescedence (this class is a bit un-traditional {{like me I guess}} and delves a bit deeper into "women warriors" than your typical class on fighting). They gave me 2 time slots last year - which is what I'll shoot for again this year.

To give you an idea of the class - here's the description from last year...


"Amazonism - Beyond the Myth of Warrior Women & Matriarchal Society"
.....{{which btw - is also the title of the book I am writing on this subject}}

"What is an "Amazon"? Examine the legends & myths as Medieval peoples would
have known them; then learn the anthropological, archeological, and
historical perspectives with a look at cultural research in Central
Asia, as well as the stories of "Amazon," women like Boudicca, Graine
Ni Maille, Joan d' Arc, and Marguerite De Bressieux of Medieval
Europe."

You know you're not making my budgeting time & money this year any easier for me if I have to go & factor in Pennsic somehow?! LOL!

Why can't l win the lottery? That way we can all quit our jobs and move to a sunny island, where we can read, fence (or learn to, in my case) and partake in other activities I won't mention here :twisted: and then have enough $$ to fly back for faire season LOL!

[Morghan]

You know you're not making my budgeting time & money this year any easier for me if I have to go & factor in Pennsic somehow?! LOL!

You mean to tell me - that all these years that I've been diligently attempting to roust interest for Pennsic - I've been going about it all wrong? All I had to do was offer up a class?

*thinking* Hummmm... a Wench's encampment... now THAT has potential... (shakes head) NOPE... not going there.. never mind....

I've always had a mild interest in going to Pennsic, if I could afford it. Now I really, REALLY wanna be able to! LOL!!

A Wench's Encampent? Oh could you picture that? We'd be cut off on an island "with no one to protect us. Oooh. It'd be a lonely life: bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear and not used to handsome knights. " :lol:

[Artemisia]

*thinking* Hummmm... a Wench's encampment... now THAT has potential... (shakes head) NOPE... not going there.. never mind....
Yes, please go there. I would love a Wench's Encampment. Our mascot would be a llama. :bananada:

Wait - just realized how much work this would be. :augh:

Yup - we would.. and it does.. and inevitably ... there will be at *least* one major storm during Pennsic.. Back several years ago.. I utilized Mother Nature's gracious rains and stood under our canvas fly - and showered - I think it was the most refreshing (and non-staining) shower I had that Pennsic - (if anyone has been to Pennsic, they'll understand that statement) heh..heh..heh.. :lol:

Guess I'm glad i didn't go to war then sis, I'm still one of the 'unstained'....:P:P I do plan on bein up fer St paddy's parade and fer EMMF of course by the way sis. Can't miss out on the chance to fence.

Morning All!!

Well, all good things must come to an end. My sojurn is up today and I must journey home. I could still deal a bit with the lack of laundry to do, someone else to make my bed, someone else to cook etc.. However, I miss the wee one. Her Grace is leaving me more messages and even the Big Lug said he missed me a bit ( a rarity in itself)

Off to nab some coffee and a roll before the meeting...

Smooches and kisses!!!!!

[WenchyMom]

Have a safe journey home hon.

Good morning Everyone!

Hope everybody is doing well this am, it's wet and cold here, but I get my washer and dryer today so that's my sunshine for the day lol.

[Margaret]

Thanks MOM!!!

I have made it home, safe and sound. Hubby cleaned the house (yay!) Dishes are done (yay again!) and I get to see my clan again - hubby is still at work and Erin's grandma has a hair appointment for her, so I will fetch her after that.

*sigh* nice to go away, but nice to be home again.....

[WenchyMom]

ain't it though. I understand. Feel bad for hubby because between Jan & Aug he'll be gone more than he's home, but... that makes homecomings all the more sweeter.

[Branwen]

Beware if anyone ever asks you how your evening/morning was. The following was the e-mail that I sent to Pussywillow when she asked me about my evening. I apologize for the length & if it seems way to off topic.


Okay, well by the time that I got home & was able to get to my mail it was way to late to call anyone to inform that I got part of my garb. I went to bed around 1am, knowing fully well that I had to get up early this morning. The storm came through around 2:30a-2:45a. I know this 'cause the lightening & thunder woke me up. Along with the wind & rain, the lights going out, having to visit the facilities, dogs & cat, I didn't get much sleep last night. I got up after the lights came back on, went to the bathroom. D.O.G. followed me & asked to go outside. I went to let him out in the storm, you know little doggies can only cross their legs for so long. Well, lightening struck, thunder rumbled, 1 dog backed up, two more came rushing in. I tried to force the bigger one out to no avail. Nope, He wasn't going to move. He gave me the equivalent of a doggy finger. Sooooo, I decided to let them (dogs) stay in my room until the storm passed or until Mom & Dad got up. I wrote a brief but urgent note to my Parents to get the dogs out of the room A.S.A.P. The storm was taking it's time in leaving our area, when I heard soft scratching/pawing at the bedroom door. Someone had my attention. As I was getting up to open the door, I heard the plaintive "mwrow-MOM"! Ash wanted to be let in the room NOW!!! So I opened the door to let him in. Since I didn't hear any more thunder, I decided that it was a good try to see if I can get the dogs out of the room/house & I could get some sleep. Mind you, Gremlin wasn't satisfied in laying on the floor in my room. no he had to pace, stand up ON my bed (on me), lay on my bed (ON me), and whine. So I called the dogs to follow me and opened the front door. As I did, lightening struck, the lights went out, and thunder shook the trailer. Gremlin, D.O.G. and Bebe said NOPE, Uhh Uhh, not a chance. Again the doggie finger. Soooooo, I trudged back to my room & noticed the time to be about 3:30a (an hour into this & I KNOW I'm not going to get any sleep). I called the dogs & Ash into the room. Since Ash has Kitty Claustrophobia, the bedroom door needed to be left open a bit. Not to much to allow the dogs to roam, but enough to allow Sir Grey Cat to leave if he feels the need. We all crawl/climb into bed; Ash jumps up on top of the T.V.; and try to go to sleep amidst thunder, rain, wind, whine, rattle, and lightening flashes. I sleep badly for the next hour & a half. D.O.G. woke up when he heard Mom & Dad rustling along in the kitchen. So, again I have to get out of bed and try to let the dogs out. I open the door hoping that they will all go into the kitchen to say "Good Morning" to the parental units. Gremlin did, D.O.G. wanted ME to let him out, Bebe pretended to be dead in bed. I grabbed the little red dog, and went into the front room to let the dogs out. D.O.G. could no longer cross his doggy legs, he was more than willing to go outside. Bebe followed suit. Gremlin was a different story. He hid behind Dad's chair in the kitchen asking for the big man's help. Mom came out of her bedroom & told him to get out. At that point, I told Mom "Good Luck" and went back to my room to climb back into my bed. That my dear was around 5:30a-5:45a. At about 6:25a or so I was having a "waking" dream in which I was listening to my radio alarm to get up, but I was still in bed & I wasn't paying attention to it. I was just rolling over to check to see what time it was when the alarm went off. I said the Hell with it & hit snooze. the alarm went off again in about 9 minutes, I again hit snooze. 27 minutes after the alarm initially went off, it went off again. This time it seemed much louder than before, I cried out "I'm getting up!" and rolled over to turn down the din. That was my morning prior to my morning actually starting. Thankfully, I was only on the phones from 10a-1p, then I got off to do MOD. I'm tired, my back is sore, and there is a chance of more thunder storms tonight. At this point I know what "Noah" went through during his 40 day ordeal. Can you imagine have to calm all those animals during 40 days of thunder storms & rain? That is IF it really happened. I have doubts about that. But, as a person who probably had to deal with scared animals I can sympathize.

By the way D.O.G. & Bebe are Dachshunds. Gremlin is an Australian Sheppard.

I wanna go home & go to bed!!! :tantrum: :yawn:

[Morghan]

Morning All!!

WOW what a day... would you believe I am just now getting to the point where I can relax and read the boards? At least for about an hour (or so) anyway - then its off to the shower and if the weather doesn't get too bad - there's a trip to the Baroness' house this eve.. to work on Illumination and obtain her article for the Baronial Newsletter - and possibly a stop prior to - to pick up her armor from our Knight Marshal and deliver it.

To revisit the Pennsic thread - it could (based on an earlier conversation with Her Excellency) become interesting for me this year.. discussions will be continuing - we'll have to see how the *puzzle pieces* all fit together - and what I will be asked (or required) to abdicate.

I can empathize with the *thunderstorm* story - as I have 2 cats (Majick & Nagilum) and an Akita (Bodaishin) who are all storm-shy and think *mom* is the protector from all evil loud and boisterous noises - however, once they cuddle in with me (or my daughter).. and we're all bedded down for the eve.. nonce move till the light of day - or at the very least - the storm lets up - then with Bo.. its outside - ONLY long enough to take care of business - then right back to mom - as close as he can possibly get.

OK.. back to the mill-grind... (also known as the March issue of Across the Hills)

Anon.. M'Sisters... (and Rogues, and Buccaneers, and Scoundrals, and Rakes and......etc..etc..etc..)

Good morning All. I'm puttering around the house, trying to get as much done as humanly possible (wash, dishes, floors, ect.) I'll be in and out for a bit, kiddos are actually acting like they feel better and don't need to take up the position of up my rear.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread...

[Artemisia]

...But, as a person who probably had to deal with scared animals I can sympathize.

I feel for you Branwen. My dear Australian Shepherd, Kylie, passed away last year. She was very afraid of thunderstorms also. During a night thunderstorm, she would leave her sanctuary in the mud room and run to the boys room. She would whine and scratch until they opened the door. Then she would dives straight under their bunk bed, scrunched up in the corner, until the storm passed or morning broke, whichever came first. But Goodness help those who came close to her people. *Grin* the mailwoman still makes us go to the post office to pick up anything she can't shove into the box.

Here's a picture of my dear Kylie: http://community.webshots.com/photo/127655700/107269540DrgHWC

Oy!

What a day. Let it be known, that if you wish to feel needed, leave your office for a day or two (or in my case four). Geeze o peets! People who I have not talked to in several weeks left me messages.

However, it's over and done. It's the weekend. I have sewing to catch up on and bead and sparkly shopping to do tomorrow :bananada:

Think I am goin to go and open a bottle of wine...

[Margaret]

May I direct your attention to the following thread

In Local 69, thread topic 'New Member Needs Your Help'

Suzanne is not a member of the IWG yet, but is looking for info on what it means to be in the Guild. I got a mail from her a few days ago asking for permisison to join our Local's Yahoo group. Since she wasn't a member of the IWG, I couldn't approve her membership, but I sent her over here.

Could you all, if you feel like it, pop over there and help her out? I would appreciate it!

Thanks lovies!!!

[Morghan]

Just wanted to jump in here and say ... G'eveing everyone..

Been fighting with this darn computer the last couple of days so haven't been able to posted much and can't believe the weekend is almost over already..

Well, I think we are in dire need of a store run.. so enjoy what's left of the weekend....

:grouphug: laterz all...

[Margaret]

*hands Mor a can of Gremlin-B-Gone* Keep trying it Mor, it will work soon.

Think I have punctured my finger too. I have never mastered the skill of using a thimble and have spent the day trying to drive a need through several layers of fabric. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

Got a bunch of stuff done though, my doublet is near completion, a shirt is done and my beading is also done (for now...)

Just got to figure out how to claim one of the TV's so I can watch the Oscars...

[rosefaeries]

thought I would pop in & see who is here. Today is my birthday and my boyfriend hasn't called or come here to see me yet.. The good news is , later I will be having chocolate cherry decadence cake with french vanilla ice cream. Guess there is an upside to turning 40. Now the important question is.......Do I have to share the cake with the boys?

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

Well, very happy birthday wishes comin' your way, rosefaeries! :birthday:

[Margaret]

:birthday:

Happy Birthday Rose!!

and No, it's your birthday - you don't gotta share nuthin' if you don't want! :D

Grumble. And that man knows it is my birthday. Maybe I can find a nice rouge to play with.

:o You should have heard the boys' reaction when I told them that the wench Margaret said I didn't have to share the cake & ice cream. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[rosefaeries]

Well, off to finish making dinner. Must eat a balanced meal before indulging in that cake. I will get back on my diet tomorrow.

[Margaret]

:o You should have heard the boys' reaction when I told them that the wench Margaret said I didn't have to share the cake & ice cream. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:D Hey, all is fair in love and war, cake and ice cream!

I rather think I would have a war on my hands though too, if I didn't share the cake with my wee one *snerf*

[rosefaeries]

Well, no war yet. I am using the cake & ice cream as incentive for the older boy to get a large chunk of his missing schoolwork done. :twisted: More than one way to get him to do it.

So no one gets any cake or ice cream until he gets more of his math done. :haloslip: I have been informed by my youngest son that I am evil. (He has his homework done in a timely manner & turned in.) :twisted: Goes with the job description.

LOL! One weekend the friends were over for dinner. My friend Mona and her then 5 year old were duking it out over the food. She told him "You can eat what was prepared or you can starve." (there was plenty of stuff that he would have eaten). He looks at her and says. "I'll 'tarve.". Then looks at her with his best melodramatic look and declaires "Meanest mommy in the world." Mona ruffled his hair and said "Yup, and don't you forget it." :D

[po silvertop the rogue]

Monday... (no sigh today.. just a grin and a wistful eye on the weather.... "Will there be Steel-Therapy today?" he wonders...)

Po lurks in.. tops off all the carafes.. replenishes the pastry and chocolate trays.. fluff the pillows and sweeps all the dust under the *other* end of the rug- (opposite the Chaos Corner)

Who says chivalry is dead, eh Mags?

[Lady Sarah]

Mmmm coffee... and I was just about to brew a pot of Buttered Rum coffee too. :lol:

holy craptastic batman, I'm a tired wench. finished out the last two pair of bloomers (even down to sewing the buttons on the fronts so I know front from back), waist sash, washed and dried the fabric for my frock coat (now to dye it... happyhappyjoyjoy), re-organized my 'sewing room' (is guest room that the neice occupies 2-3 weekends a month, thereby slowing my sewing process down greatly), discovered I've only got fabric for two more projects before I get to go buy all new fabric for more progects, did laundry, got two leather bodices traced off and started tooling on one, got a handful of special favors made and ready to mail out.

::phew::

I need a holiday to recuperate. :lol:

[po silvertop the rogue]

(Po sits back at the keyboard and sips his tea..)

For those who have seen it and recall.. there’s a moment towards the end of the movie version of the musical 1776... Having struggled for so long against not only the British, but also amongst themselves- the Continental Congress is amazed to have finally resolved years of debate and heated argument and find themselves (against all odds and completely and utterly unexpectedly) agreeing to sign the Declaration of Independence... There is a moment of silence- as if the entire universe is holding its breath in expectation, as if reality itself does not know what next to expect and is gingerly waiting. The moment stretches... until quietly John Adams softy says (as if to himself); “It is done.”

Very recently (mere hours ago) the universe gifted me just such a moment. (No- I’ll not claim it’s of anywhere near the importance of Adams’ revelation.. it’s actually quite a tiny accomplishment (it‘ll affect less than a dozen people, and indirectly at that)- but it was the culmination of years of indirect effort, as well as months of *direct* effort, both on my part and that of several others. struggling- *uphill* against the system) ...And to sit here -right now- at this desk.. eyeing the envelope awaiting pickup - waiting for the US Snail pickup to arrive... to deliver said document to its final signature... all I can do is contemplate...

It is done.

Most of you deserve my gratitude for your involvement and support (knowingly or otherwise- even those of you whose posts served to entertain and keep me, if not *sane*- then at least functioning at a state less than homicidal <grin>). Several of you (and you do know who you are, My Dears, don’t you?) deserve quite a bit more than that. I’ll have to see what can be done to show you my appreciation... (mead perhaps?)

I’ll not say any more just now.. as I want to wait until the paperwork weaves it’s way into the system and then returns back to me. But I am a very happy “SwashBOOKlin’ Rogue” this day. (Though I’d love for this approaching storm to dissipate and allow me to go to tonight’s Steel-Therapy session- I just know that tonight the blade would sing in my hand...)

Thank you, Ladies (and all).. Each and every one of you.

Well.. as it has been said many times and even posted in many-a-privy...
"No job is done till the paperwork is completed" :lol:

Seriously though -- HUZZAH!! and even VIVAT!!

Good day all, and what a glorious (coughbullshitcough) day it is, snow comin straight down, slightly to the side-like.....Service was out temporarily here this mornin, but all seems to be up and running again. YAY! the mini's, my young student-minions (muahahahahahahahahaha), get dismissed early from their places of learning, as the snow is falling (again.....THANKS SIS) :P

[WenchyMom]

Good Af'ernoon Wenches and Rogues.

Well it seems that after a week of coughing, hacking and basically feeling miserable I have gone to the doctor (with one of the little ones) and have discovered this very bloody day that Not only has the mini busted his eardrum but so have I! And we both have infections in the other ear. SO...... I'm trying to recuperate before the hubby get's back from his trip. of course by that time he'll have come down with everything. ugh



BTW happy birthday Rose.

and Good luck Po.

(Though I’d love for this approaching storm to dissipate and allow me to go to tonight’s Steel-Therapy session-

Well - its after 3pm.. (the projected time) and so far - so good - storm wise.. however at this rate - I'm not going to be in any frame of mind to do much - but maybe sit quietly in a corner somewhere and watch... (and if I survive this - I still have a Reiki session to do) :?

[rosefaeries]

Guess there is an upside to turning 40. Now the important question is.......Do I have to share the cake with the boys?

Hey there Rose... Happy Birthday!! (refuses to allow a rendition of the Birthday Dirg to run through her head)..

Awww... darn.. too late...


Happy Birthday.. UGH.... Happy Birthday.. .UGH....

We like torture, yes we do - We've a corset just for you!
Happy Birthday.. UGH.... Happy Birthday.. .UGH....

Burn & pillage by firelight - Add -romance- to life tonight
Happy Birthday.. UGH.... Happy Birthday.. .UGH....

So another year has passed - Don't look now they're gaining fast
Happy Birthday.. UGH.... Happy Birthday.. .UGH....
Happy Birthday.. UGH.... Happy Birthday.. .UGH....

Happy Birthday Sis :grouphug:




Thank Morghan.
Ok where is my corset? It will save me the trouble of making one right away. :)

[rosefaeries]

Thank you Artemisia. I couldn't get one of my photos to upload. And I haven't had the chance to look around for an avatar to use. :)

[Adriana Rose]

Hi all just got home from my break and well I wanna go back to Arizonia!!! We went from 65 degrees to 19. ( there is a mojor problem here)

Mum and I had a wonderful time at Faire and a fun time with the Bone Crew!

And now I can say that I have left the U.S we went into Mexico one day and went to the market. But mum did not tell me that there is a strictly barter system down there. I was sooo lost for a while :roll: :roll:

All in all a great week minus the whol being stuck in Retirement Land thing....

But the only bad part of this is the fact that my BF went home to Muskogee and has no money to get back and is satying for the faire down there. So that means that it's 3 mounths till we see each other again. Sniff Sniff

[Margaret]

I’ll not say any more just now.. as I want to wait until the paperwork weaves it’s way into the system and then returns back to me. But I am a very happy “SwashBOOKlin’ Rogue” this day. (Though I’d love for this approaching storm to dissipate and allow me to go to tonight’s Steel-Therapy session- I just know that tonight the blade would sing in my hand...)

Thank you, Ladies (and all).. Each and every one of you.

*Cups hand to ear*

What is that happy, contented hum of satisfaction I hear from off to the East? That must be our Dear and Wonderful Po! :D


Happy Snow Day!! Erin is home today - thus I am home. Still have to work, but I can do it from here. You know, seems to me that when I was a kid, our snow days came few and far between. Now they have them at the drop of a hat it seems. Oh well. It's good snowman building snow, so we will be doing that later.

*nabs a cup of hot chocolate and nabs some whipped cream*

More later! Kissy kissy smoochy smoochy!

[Eric McTavish]

Morining All....
Is it Faire Yet!!! I’m starting to get withdrawal symptoms.... :shock: oh look coffee!!!

[Lady Sarah]

Mornin' ever'body!

It's almost "Faire" for me... we get the year's circuit "Kick-off" this weekend with the Irish Festival here in Dallas. From there it's only a month to Scarby! GHI! :D

holy shit... a month. :shock: THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH ALL OF THE GARB!!
::panic attack sets in::

*hands Sarah a paper bag to breathe into*

It's OK Sweetie. All will be well. All garb will get done. OK, maybe not done but it will be wearable

(to all you non-garb sewers, this is a real and important distinction :wink: )

::breathes deep...:: in... out... in... out.... in....BIG heaving shuddering sigh of relief...

I even had to work up a new white chemise last night. :sigh: I was going through my closet and discovered some damage to my favorite white one. So, until I can figure out how to fix it, It's going to the side in favor of a wonderfully soft linen (THANK YOU ABIGAIL!!) I'm hoping to skip over to JoAnn's today at lunch and ... buy the velveteen... get some lace to go around the neck. A real simple and sweet crocheted lace I think would be nice. I've pushed back the muslin mock-up until next week during the evenings when I can sit down and devote some time to it and really pay attention to what I'm doing. ~S~

thanks Mags. :smooch:

[Margaret]

thanks Mags. :smooch:


:wink: Who loves ya, baby....


Oh, BTW, don't think I didn't see the 'buy the velveteen' there in your message... Giving in to the dark side, hey! :singdanc:

Happy Snow Day!! !

Snow Day indeed!! I have no idea of how many inches we have out there - but its definitely one of those days where you want to lock the doors, keep the hot beverages flowing - and snuggle up with someone while you cuddle and relax and let the day just pass by..

Ya know - this is just not fair - if I gotta get snowed in, the least the Heavens could do is give me... Cap'n Jack, or Antonio Bandaras, or.... oh never mind .....(goes to find stuffed Puss n Boots)...

........bah humbug...

[Lady Sarah]

thinks of a wet chemise contest.....

if it ruins my leather bodice, I'm hunting you down and making you pay for a new one.

:P

You know Biker, if you put Sarah in a wet chemise, that means we get to relatiate and put you in something too...

*walks off to make a list*

#1 on the list - wet tights.

[Margaret]

#2 Wet breeches made of a very thin material

[Lady Sarah]

I'm thinking we need to invade a Faire where Biker is at next year.

ifn othing else to express our condolences to his wife and whisk him away for a few...

[biker]

you think that would bother me?? Hell my x G/F designed fetish leather wear, and I did some modeling for her more then once. In a leather gstring up and down a runway. So wet tights etc isn't going to bother me at all ladies.

[po silvertop the rogue]

...You're having a wet chemise contest...

..and you didn't invite (or invoke) *ME*? :shock:

(Po starts packing snowballs.. muttering... :lol: )

I'd sell the books.. if readers would brave the snow... sigh.
