OMG I have to re-do this ENTIRE entry because I did something that angered the LJ gods and I lost the whole freaking thing just as I was finishing it...and I didn't copy or save it or anything. Arrrrgh! I hope you all know how much I love you...
So! Anyway! I've had a terribly busy weekend. I decided to attend a very small local SCA event, primarily so I'd have something to do on Saturday. I was hoping to have a good time hanging out with friends (which I did) and maybe make a few bucks so I could do some much-needed Christmas shopping. To my surprise, I ended up selling a lot of really nice stuff (among other things, the Amaterasu mask and one of my new ribbon masks). I brought little low-cost things like pins and prints, that I figured would be good impulse gift purchases, and instead I was running cards all day for big ticket items...woo!
I was very pleased with myself, by the way, because I had the foresight to bring a cute little bento box full of sushi for my lunch. I found out it's absolutely the perfect food item to have on hand during a bustling busy event. If you get swamped with orders or customers and you have to pause, it's ok because it's supposed to be cold! :-) Also, it's compact, neat, and you can impress the hell out of folks with your mad chopstick skills. Hee! It turns out a lot of my friends are into sushi too (who knew? Not me.), so now I have a number of pending lunch dates...and the only thing better than sushi is sushi with friends.
So, y'know, color me happy. :-)
So now the tree is up and decorated, the lights are on the shrubs out front (little white net lights...very tasteful), and the flag has been changed from "fall leaves" to "winter snowflake". It's beginning to look a lot like...well, you know. ;-)
