What's that sound? Is it the old man snoring?

I think it is. It's definitely raining, and pouring, so that must be the old man snoring....Who all remembers that one from growing up?

Rain just hit hard while I was cleaning-ish up a storage room where I'm working. It's great to look out the windows and see it storming like this. BUT, it is not so great to know that within 15 minutes or so I'll have to run to my van in this storm, as well as drive around all evening delivering food, and praying for no accidents along the roads.

Hope you all enjoy the rain, now that we're getting it, and don't have to be out in it unless by choice.

Take care and be safe !

Gotta say "Woo!"

Just feeling good that the week is almost over. Being Wednesday, I get paid today. Secondly, there is only two more days til the weekend and we get to go to the faire again. Additionally, it means only 4 days til I finally have a morning off again and can catch up on sleep and house chores. I plan on cleaning a few counters, and maybe a floor or two. I doubt I'll be able to mow the yard with the weather being gloriously rainy like it is.

Until then I'm moseying around here with heavy lidded eyes. Yay for honey-buns and Mountain Dew!

Talk to ya'll later!

Chris

I'll have the rain, with a side order of rain, srinkled with some rain, please

So even though I had Friday afternoon off, Darbi and I still got kind of a lte start out to Faire. Good news, we still go there before midnight ! Woo! What did we do? Did we party? Did we find friends and have a relaxing night drinking? Nope. We slept. And it was gooood.

Saturday wasn't that bad of a day. Kind of cool, and overcast; not too bad of a crowd, but little energy from anyone. Blah. Sunday was a completely different story.

Sunday, there was barely a crowd. No energy at all. It rained on and off all day. Infact it is still raining now this morning. On top of it being a bad day for fair, Darbi was having a bad day as well, which brought me down. I'm not going into details of her bad day it was her day to tell and not mine. Faire shut down early at 615. Afterward we went out to eat at a local Mexican restaurant, and it ended up a lot of our friends had the same idea, so instead of dinner for two it ended up dinner for almost 30 or so - some we new others we didn't - but there were a lot of laughs a lot of hugs and a lot of smiling.

Even though the weekend was so-so, it ended on a good note. Now it's Monday morning, and back to the grind. Another week of 7am-10pm for me and then my daytime temp job is ending, so I'll have more time, but less money. Hopefully I can work on my photography and make some money off of that, even though all I have is a digital point and shoot.

I've got to go finish getting dressed and get off to work.

As always, take care, and take it easy,

Boo! chilly weather....Yay, beer !

It's that time again.

We had a few cool nights in the past few weeks, but it's almost noon (sort of) and it's still good bit nippley out there. I've got a mixed feeling about cold weather. I like the way it feels, all crisp and clean and clear; it's absolutely wonderful.

However, I've not a lot of insulation on my body, so even though I generate a decent amount of heat, it doesn't stay with me. I don't like being cold. Which is a problem, because I also don't like wearing clothes, which happen to be the main way I can keep warm.

In the office today, and yesterday afternoon, it's been a bit chilly. Today it's made worse by it being only 62 outside at the moment. It's only suppsed to get up to 72...brrrr.....

At least it's not going to be the hot muggy weekends out at the Ren Faire that it has been so far.

Well I'm off to move about and warm up a little. Take care and stay warm, everyone!

Chris

two jobs and no sleep

....well, I guess it's technically three jobs, since I'm made a commitment to be at TRF to carry the banner for the Mark's blacksmith booth.

So. I've got this one I'm currently at, which I started 10/2 (last week) and will end 10/20 (next week), working 715 to 415. It's not a difficult job, just a lot of walking sometimes. Then directly over to Greek Tony's afterwards to deliver pizzas from 5-10. Except for last night. There was a huge order that came in a little while before we closed. I didn't leave until after 10 and didn't get back until 11:15. The good news is I left that night with a little over 40 dollars, went and put plenty of gas in the van for a day or two. Bad news is by the time I got home and got ready for this morning, it was a bit past midnight.

I know lots of people run this schedule, but I just haven't gotten used to it yet. Yesterday I was to rushed an busy to be tired. Today, I'm not so busy. I'm finding things to do, but I'm still kind of tired.

And I have to pee. Too much apple juice this morning. Talk at ya'll all later

Chris, the naked monkey boy!

...and again.

Just an addendum to my previous post. This is Sarah, my way-much hyperactive awesome friend on the left with the blazing red locks. She happens to be a smart chicky who works as I biochemist ((or somthing along those lines - I'm probably wrong))

On the right is - note the HUGE top hat and cane and obvious lack of shirt - the random guy who donated a ticket to our cause.

Just thought I'd throw this up in gratitude of his generosity, and as a proclaimation of the awesomeness of Sarah and her bouncy giggles !

Love and hugs to all my faire friends and much more to those those friends I hold dear. 

It's that time again !

Well it's been a pretty good while since I've been here, and I just wanted to get a short-ish update up here.

I've gone through a couple of jobs, and am now delivering pizzas and subs in the evening, working temp jobs during the day, and when time allows, learning from a photographer about photography and Photoshop.

The pic seen here was taken while camping out at the Texas Renaissance Festival. This was out the passenger side. The driver side looked out upon many, many tents, and people getting dressed in assorted outfits and costumes to head into the fairgrounds. As I was sitting watching the traffic, both cars and people, a shirtless guy with a cane and HUGE top hat saunters/limps up and after a story basically asking for spare bucks, he ends up offering and handing over a valid ticket to enter the faire. Definitely nice. It was great to wander and see old friends and be on grounds again. By the end of the day, some friends of ours who work each year at the fair offer us passes to carry their advertisement banners in the parade each weekend day. Sweet !

So now we no longer have to worry about coming up with money to get into TRF. We were hoping to go to maybe three weekends and go in one day each trip, but luck has shined ! Now all we have to fret about is coming up with enough money for bills and whatnot. Budgets always work a lot better down on paper. I'm sure everyone knows how that goes.

So. This is gotten to be not so short-ish as I had planned so I'm going to get outta here and shower and sleep and all that good jazz.

Talk at you all later !

Chris the Naked Monkey Boy!
