Random thoughts from the weekend

stitchwhich* My husband rocks. And no, you can't have him - I'm keeping him.
* My friends rock too.
* Blowing my diet was worth it and a banana split makes a damned fine breakfast.
* Staying on my diet in the long term was re-inforced by my BAP** inability to reach most of the things on display at KASF because there wasn't room for me and any other person between the tables.
* Having only two panic attacks was an improvement although I felt really bad about not being as personable, or as supportive, as I wanted to be.
* Learning that a dear friend was dealing with a blown-out tire on the Interstate was best done after the fact. I'm grateful that she and her travel-companion were safe even though they missed more of the event than they deserved.
* I am permanently scarred and will never look at a colander & funnels the same way again.
* Judging was more, and less, difficult than it had been in the past.
* I am a picky, fussy judge...
* Texas Roadhouse has nummy cinnamon butter.
* Holding a grudge poisons not only you, but the circle of people you express it to. There is a shelf-life on "someone hurt/disappointed me" and it is just a tiny bit longer than that of fish... (Yes, thank you, I can see that beam in my eye. It doesn't invalidate the observation.)
* "Mongol mail" can lead to good dining.
* Thank you, thank you, thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinkleader, for posting so many good photos of what I missed!
* SCORED an Anglo-Saxon thrown & coiled pottery jar and am gonna, yessiree, carve a wooden lid for it so I can use it at Pennsic. Yah,thatpotteryguy! You keep my addiction alive. And Arn didn't even flinch.
And yay Arn, for Sunday's fine, fake "Oops! Missed the rest area lane so I guess we'll just have to take this other road that leads to Potomac Mills - - - and their LEGO STORE!" Heh. Now we have a head's start on a certain son's birthday gifties... heh. Andmmcnealy got the cutiest little Duplo-block circus train for her little boy. I helped with a "Fire Chief" car. Because I just couldn't resist. Although if I were rich, he'd have the whole danged Duplo Castle set - and the zoo. And the dinosaurs. Definately the dinosaurs!
* I wish my headache would go away.
* I wish I'd done more at the event to help.
* I wish I knew who won the fabric I was allowed to donate...
* I seriously wish I knew how to make baskets - Magda & Aime have got me dying to get a copy of the Norse "backpack" for my kit now that I looked at their basketry. It was so pretty...
* I think it'd be fun to enter the Pent next year, or do a display based on the requirements, in a field completely and totally far from my own "usual" interests. I'm thinking that I'd really like to do something about a child oblate at a Benedictine monastery. I am intrigued with the idea.
