Welcome to my home-cooked journal.Here you will find my rants about every day life and things that keep me busy.
In the past I have frequently written, but there's no saying if I'll continue on that path. It all depends on how busy I am.
Have fun reading my scribbles.
Yesterday I turned 25. It will be celebrated for family coming Saturday. The loot so far:
- Card from Pearle, 4 days early.
- Card (huge, sparkly Winx) from my mom, 1 day early.
- E-mail from my brother, 1 day early.
- E-card from Karijn.
- SMS from Olga and Jan.
- Call with voicemail message from my grandmother (father's side).
- Call from my dad.
- Card from Matthijs' mother.
- Card from dad and Mieke.
- Book with Celtic fairy tales from Matthijs
- The 5 Harry Potter books that were still missing and were promised last year on my b-day, from Matthijs.
- DVD of Hook, though it was more like a co-order than an actual present, from Matthijs.
Stress level is rising. I need to do a lot of house cleaning before Saturday and grocery shopping of course. I want to bake a cake (no pie this time) and make salad for dinner. However, parts and pieces of tent are still littering the house and next to the tent I want to do some other 'small' things for the Summoning, like making a woolen dress (finished except for the closing cords), a sheet for my larp dagger, beads and 'mirrors' for my character's superstitions (already sculpted and partly painted) and when I have the time some mittens would be nice for our summoning ritual.
Castlefest will probably be skipped, though somewhere I have a bit of hope that if I just work hard enough on the tent, we can still go on Sunday. There's a meet for the Ern on Monday, but with the current todo list I don't know if we'll be able to go (read: if it is wise). And on Tuesday another EE meeting. If only we were living in Utrecht...
I truly hope that our Esvo order will come in today. The brown thread is almost gone while we still need to do 2 tunnels and the doors. Yesterday we put up the tent again with the almost finished wall and it is starting to look good!
On top of all that I'm already worrying about the packing for the Summoning and the preparations (like baking IC bread, making sure we have enough cooking utensils to cook for 12) and the care for the kitties while we're away for 4 days. Still, I'm looking forward to it!
