Apple Festival

Got to see Ember today. Met some new folks too. We walked around the Apple Festival, it was cool.

Exchanged some texts with Nala last week. I’ve got to make that a regular thing again. It was easier when I worked overnight since she’s a bit of a night owl and there isn’t anyone in the store to fuss at me for sending and receiving texts at work. I’m not volunteering to go back on overnights just for that though…

I got to spend several hours on my deck this afternoon, enjoying the weather and my patio furniture while I was uploading pictures from my camera to my laptop, sorting them and then sending them on to Facebook. I really enjoyed that. It has rained pretty much every day I’ve been off since I put the set together so I haven’t been able to really enjoy it. I love my wireless network!

I had to go to an American Indian heritage festival down south of here on Saturday. I had K with me, I was watching her for the day. As a matter of fact, she spent the night Friday night. She’s been wanting to do that for a while, and Critter and I are at a loss as to why. Once she got over here and Critter headed off to the gym we watched an episode of Hannah Montana and then I put her to bed. She went right down with no fuss and didn’t get back up all night. I had to wake her up around eight the next morning, she was *so* cute laying there under the covers. She looked so peaceful. She also perked right up when i woke her up, so no drama there either.

So, back to the heritage festival: I bought K, D, and B necklaces and got myself a raccoon pelt as proof of attendance. Spare me, please. Ranger Rick and Swiper are freaking cartoons people, and I can only assume that the rest of the animal was put to good use considering the source. Or maybe not, since most of those folks at the festival were whiter than I am, and that’s saying something. Not a lot of blond hair and blue eyes among the Amerind Tribes I’ve ever heard of… It took us forever to find the festival, it wasn’t nearly as big a deal as I was led to believe it was, but K was a real trooper the whole time. She was probably in her car seat for three or four hours and didn’t whine a bit.

Weird thing happened with K earlier in the week. Somehow she’d gotten it into her head that she was going to her daddy’s house on Friday, but she was actually going to OtherGuy’s parents’ house then to Critter’s mom’s house. K wasn’t very happy with this arrangement. It seems she thought for a second, then said, "Where ToyMan? Mama call ToyMan." I don’t know what we’re going to do with her…

That’s all I’ve got for now. I’ve probably got more to say, but I’m pretty well wiped out right now. I haven’t even managed to keep up with the TiVo this week; I’ve still got two or three hours worth of shows I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. I’m going to go finish up NCIS: Los Angeles and then I’ll probably hit the sack.

Loving my new phone, by the way. It’s way cool. The oven is beeping at me, got to go get the brownies out before they get too crispy.
