evile: Are you at work? May I walk over & give you your 			prezzie?
SkyeDS: I am and you may
evile: cool. see ya in 15. 			:)
SkyeDS: awesomeness :)
evile: back safe :)
SkyeDS: wb! 			thank you muchly for the pretty shiny! I will be extra
careful 			with it
evile: well, it wasn't expensive. if mine breaks, it 			breaks. Such is
life.
SkyeDS: thought: prepackaged time of 			month meals. steak, rare,
cabbage, and dark chocolate 			dessert
evile: *grin* We had cheese & chocolate fondue at 			Meg's last night,
it was about perfect for 'that time'
SkyeDS: 			I was noticing in the poly notices that the bakehouse 			has
fondue
evile: It wasn't good.
SkyeDS: have not been 			there at all
SkyeDS: after having had your fondue I may be 			overly critical too
SkyeDS: like most people I judge by what 			I'm accustomed to
evile: it tasted like white velveeta, the 			portion was small, and it
was 6 or 8 bucks. supposed to be an 			appetizer for 2. For $12, the
melting pot serves a very tasty, 			abundant real cheese fondue with
unlimited refills on 			dipping-stuff (veggies, bread, fruit)
evile: We decided next 			time we are skipping the entree and just
getting chocolate and 			cheese. (or going to Meg's, one.)
SkyeDS: now that we hopefully 			are headed back toward a more even
financial keel I can start 			saving up for a trip there
SkyeDS: and planning better menus at 			home
evile: that'll be nice :)
SkyeDS: a lot of stuff I want 			to do, I need to get off the ass and do
them.
evile: I know 			that feeling!
SkyeDS: spend a lot of time in crisis mode, and 			then everything else
goes by the wayside. after crisis is over, 			I need down time but that
almost always lasts too long and 			turns into stagnation
evile: Yeah, it's hard to find a happy 			medium, and sometimes hard to
motivate when there's not an 			actual fire under the ass.
evile: Next week's girls night is 			going to be at a restaurant, BTW,
so it's open invitation for 			anyone. Terri's going to bring a non-poly
friend for everyone 			to meet, so we dont' have the awkwardness of
someone bringing a 			stranger into a hostess' home.
SkyeDS: cool :) is it ok if I 			ask Chelle if she's going?
evile: sure. I'll probably put 			something in my LJ closer to the date.
it's in my april 			calendar entry, but that's far enough back that
people may not 			look at it.
SkyeDS: which restaurant?
evile: Burger Tex on 			Airport, probably 'round 7.
SkyeDS: never been there, seems 			like I think I heard they have good
rings or fries or 			something
evile: No clue. It was Niki's suggestion, so I'm sure 			it's fine.
SkyeDS: I just offered my ranch, again, as an event 			site
SkyeDS: not that it matters, since the offer was mine, 			nobody will
take me up on it anyway
evile: it doesn't sound 			like anyone has much of a clue what they're
doing at this 			point. that sucks about the fire.
SkyeDS: as long as there 			aren't more than a couple of dozen people, I
don't mind having 			them in the house for feast and court
SkyeDS: but they can't 			use my septic system
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: HFS would save a 			lot of money if they didn't keep trying to
buy champagne on a 			beer budget.
SkyeDS: Raven'sFort (SCA) is completely primitive, 			no electricity, no
water (has to be brought to site in barrels, 			and portapotties), no
indoor kitchen or enclosed feast 			hall
SkyeDS: and nobody gives a damn
SkyeDS: of course the 			SCA in general has no dearth of period tents to
make up for teh 			lack of enclosures either
evile: yeah.
evile: I've seen the 			rennies pull together and make a feast pavilion
out of 			connected Ez-ups for a handfasting party with over a 			hundred
guests. It's all in what you're motivated to do, I 			guess. Entitlement
mentality vs. 'can do' mentality.
SkyeDS: 			we do that in Eq camp all the time
SkyeDS: we all put our 			individual food tents together and connect
them with tarps on 			poles
evile: *nod*
evile: I'm thinking of having my April 			full moon thing at San Gabriel
Park.
evile: I'm sure if it 			goes off well, someone will be upleasant and
say I'm showing 			off or something crazy like that. HFS'ers are much
too fond of 			drama & fussing.
evile: I guess I don't need to 			specifically invite the HFS ers, just
have it at the park, and 			that way y'all and Michelle can come over,
which is why I 			wanted to do it there, and if other HFSers come or
don't come, 			whatever.
SkyeDS: I've done full moon there many times before, 			nice place for it
evile: I have just been trying to get 			together with people for full
moons, not anything official or a 			big ritual, just hanging out.
SkyeDS: nobody freaked out when I 			did full ritual there, right in the
middle of Williamson 			Cty
evile: that's cool
SkyeDS: I didnt' make a big 			production out of it though so may be no
one noticed, and no 			cops were about
evile: *nod* Sounds like a positive outcome 			:)
evile: heh. Eric's been posting a lot today; he must be 			terribly
bored at work so far.
SkyeDS: lol nodnod
evile: 			give it a month, he'll be complaining about them working him
to 			death :P
SkyeDS: hopefully in a month he can go to graveyard 			like he wants
evile: shift differential $ would be a fine 			thing.
SkyeDS: indeed
evile: Okay. I didn't feel old until 			Chance started going on about
her plans for her 25th 			birthday....I am _ten_ years older than she
is. a decade. and 			we are both legal...ack.
SkyeDS: hugs - wind to your w ings 			:)
evile: *hugs* see ya later :)
