Getting back to Normal?

[aliskye]

I sure hope so.

It's a new week and that's always a promise of a fresh start.

This past weekend was Collegium Caidis which has always been one of my favorite events. It was held in Lyondemere at a site that is pretty close for me. I took four classes and enjoyed them, especially Eowyn's Elizabethan Metal Thread embroidery class where I think I'm finally understanding that dratted plaited braid stitch. (If I'm smart, which is doubtful, I'll take some stitchery stuff to GWW and practice it). I also took Elizabethan Commonplaces with Giles and Maggie Ros. They are a riot and have tons of info, but the class could have been a little more focused, but then again, I got most of my questions answered and it doesn't get better than that. The chip carving class was interesting but do I really need another hobby? The fourth class I really wanted to take was canceled so I took Arianna's German costume class instead. It didn't cover as late period as I hoped, but getting to see some of Arianna's costumes up close was interesting and useful.

Sunday was the Scriptorium which was a success. Not as many people as I would have liked, but I really do think we got a lot done. (Especially me as I talked to Luigseach and Brianna and Eowyn and Giuseppe and have some ideas and plans for the future.)

When I got home I was tired but tried to pick up the house a little, so the kitchen is in better shape and the living room is also pretty good. I'm caught up on mail (except for a couple of things). The bathroom is clean and I did find a spot of floor in the bedroom.

If you read this far, let me know. :) Am I totally boring the pants off everyone? Does anyone care? Would you rather hear about TV shows? I know I have a fair number of people on my friend list and I do (mostly) comment on a lot of them, but I don't seem to get a lot of comments in return. Makes me curious.

I like hearing about other people's lives, I just don't have much to say in return!

I like TV show stuff and general life stuff.

I don't comment on lots of entries after I looked at my stats and realized I have, as of today, made over 2400 and gotten less than 1000. Granted this is in almost two years of journaling.

I have enjoyed hearing the saga of the tiled (or not) patio. I'm glad you enjoyed the Elizabethan Metal Thread class. Your continued attack on clutter has, in fact, inspired me.

But I've been unable to get to a computer for more than a few minutes for the past month and a half, and have only started the journalling thing in August. So I will likely comment more. But just now, I gotta leave home and go back to work (alas!)

Silly Aliskye. You aren't boring.

Mean, cruel, and all that other stuff that you told us to call you on Sunday, perhaps... but never boring. :-)

Yes, I read your entry all the way through. It's nice to hear how you're doing and what's happening "back home". I don't comment often but I can make an effort to do so more often :-)

Oh man. I didn't mean to come over all whiney and needy, but thanks for all the comments. ((secret note....whiney and needy works :) ))

More later....actually have to do some work.

I love reading everyone's journals...but I am pretty bad about commenting. I'm never quite sure of what to say.
