Weekend recap

Friday was tiring at work but it was good. My old team took me out to lunch to the Original Mr. K's which just recently opened up way closer to work. The eats around our plantsite are pretty sparse and a good place to eat is even harder to find. BBQ was awesome as always (I used to get take out from there all of the time on one of my previous jobs) and the new locale was very very nice. I got a signed picture of our hardware from folks on the program as a thank you for my time with them and it was nice.

I got home and was beat. I had a lot to do and I managed to get the front room cleaned off and ready before mel and benton got home and I then got us dinner (pizza from marco's). I got home and we ate and then I got going on getting my studio ready to work on banners. Mel had taken the guest bed down and I was able to get my sewing machines up and running and my ironing board setup and mel's banner cut out, serged and ironed. Mariyah was over working on her templates for her banner and I drew up a scaled up Ivan turtle and Hrafn ravens for banner work.

Saturday we got up and drove to Sierra Vista for the Mace and Greatsword tourney. We had a nice time. Benton was pretty crazy all day though and a bit of a crankpot. We let him play as much as we could but it was tiring trying to keep him away from the creek where all of the rest of the kids were playing. He was way to little to do that.

We got home late due to the nesting for thyriraigan but it was okay. Mel was in bed well before I was since I managed to stay up way to late reading. I've been sucked into reading fanfic again and its taking over my brain. I'll post on what I've been reading later.

Sunday we slept in a bit. Benton was up and at'em but mel and I leisurely had coffee and got the boy a bath (he was filthy from playing at the event) before we headed to joe's. I guess we missed the rest of the Hrafn crew by about 10 mins. Got home and I worked on prepping banner stuff. The previous day I found out that kissawings would be coming over to work on making bread with mel. What ended up happily happening was an impromptu house meeting to work on the banners, watch movies and make bread stuff. It was a good time. Mel was awesome and basically watched Benton from 230pm until he went to bed.

With the team of us we managed to get all of Mariyah's banner painted and about half of mel's. I have to finish that up tonight and put in the details. It was a fun but exhausting day and I had to wait for things to dry before I went to bed.

Overall okay weekend. Just wish I'd gotten more done like always. LOL.
