The Civil War, and comfey pants

This weekend was awesome. The fact that I was at work the whole time really took very little away from the awesomeness of Saturday and Sunday. As a matter of fact, this whole week was kind of sweet. Thursday started things when I hung out with Tom, Mike Pat, Zmudge, and the guys. Went to Sally Bee's, had some drinks, back to the guy's for some T.V. overall a good night. Friday I went to the new wing of the mall with Joe to help him find clothes. While we were there he convinced me to get a shirt and we went to see Episode III. BTW, Episode III rocks. It is truly an awesome movie and I plan on seeing it again soon.

As for the total awesome of my weekend, it involved the Civil War Days at Wildwood. Saturday I worked from 9:30 am to 10:00 pm. Yes, it was a long day, and yes, I was ridiculously tired, but it was worth it. The reenactors were nice, and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. Plus we got a lot of good feedback for the event, which is always good. I know that some people may think I'm a huge dork for enjoying the Civil War Days so much, but I have some damn good reasons.

First of all, there were cannons. I just so happen to enjoy the sound of cannons, and guns. While I didn't really see any of the skirmishes, I did hear them quite well. It added quite a bit to the feel of the event. Also the smell of woodsmoke. I LOVE that smell.

Second of all, I met some great people. Almost the first thing after I got to work on Sat. morning, I went out to the front porch. On said porch sat a group of six confederate soldiers. They asked a bit about the house and later came on a tour. In my down time from tours I hung out with them if they were on the porch, and we all talked for a bit. Had a good time and it made the day go faster, that and the 397 people that we had in the house for tours. Ended the day with a lantern Tour that started at 8:30. Walking through the park with a candle lantern is fun. Lots and lots of fun. Once again, I know I'm a huge dork, you can stop thinking it now. Sunday I had to work from 9:30 to 5:30. Shortly after I got there the guys were back on the porch and we talked some more. Started raining around noon, kind of shut down the rest of the stuff planned for the day. After I got off of work, I went out to dinner at Applebees with the guys. Had a great time and I wish they didn't all live so far away. However, I can't do anything about that, so I shall just dwell on the fun had over the weekend. If anyone's wondering who these guys are, you can find a link here.

So as I sit here in my comfey pants and relax a bit before bed, I can feel nothing but happy for the way things have been lately. Well, that and tired. Very, very tired. I'm looking forward to next week, I get to go back to yoga Tuesday after 3 weeks off. Stupid wisdom teeth. I have work Mon. and Wed, and Buffy night is on for Tues. as far as I can tell. It should be a good week.

Oh, I almost forgot. For those of you who read the last post, I talked to my manager Michele. She thanked me for telling her about Jess, and she said that she would keep an eye on her.

Later all.
