September?

It's really September? Already? I can't believe it. What happened to this summer? I don't think I've ever had a faster summer!
This weekend is the last weekend of Bristol, so it's the three day weekend. There's BAPA graduation on Saturday night. Luke went through BAPA this year, so he'll be doing a graduation skit with the other new Ducklings.
Sunday night the Suitcase Shakespeare Company will be performing (I can't recall what they'll be performing), and Monday night is the cast party. We're not planning on going to the cast party: Instead we'll get as much out of our tent as possible (we take the tent down the following weekend), and then we'll probably go out to dinner.

Now, our next faire will be Stronghold, on October 2nd and 3rd. I hope to finally have my new garb done by then (yeah, the garb that was supposed to be done for Bristol). As of yet, I do not have a working sewing machine. I'll probably go over to my aunt's house to use her sewing machine, and towards the end of this month the Schmitts will be giving me a sewing machine. It's an older, used sewing machine, but they took it in to a sewing machine shop to have it serviced and cleaned, so it should work!

Updating with my cell phone

I just made the discovery that I can update my blog using my cell phone.
So, if I have anything really interesting to post over the weekend I'll be able do so, despite the fact that I'll be at Bristol.

Speaking of Bristol, I should probably go pack. We'll be heading that way in a few short hours. I'll be taking several electives tomorrow, and I'll probably join some of the regular BAPA classes too, like dialect and history. Oh, and I'm going to take some of my sewing stuff with me because Alyssa (the costumer) has given me permission to use the costume shop sewing machines. Oh, and any of the patterns in the costume shop, which is pretty nifty. Although I don't know if I'll need any of the patterns.

Beads, Bristol, and fun!

It's Friday, which means it's once again time to leave for Bristol!
However, we are leaving earlier than usual this weekend. Stefanie Dowell is taking me to a bead show for an early birthday present, so she wants to leave from her house by about 11.
It's supposed to be raining at Bristol again (I really wish I'd been able to buy rainboots this week!), so we'll just stay at Stefanie's house on Friday and Saturday night so that we can stay dry.
I have a few electives to take this weekend (yay!) , so I'm excited for those.
I think I'm going to start carrying some of my sewing around with me with a needle and thread. Hand sewing may not be very fast, but if I can work on it for an hour when a sewing machine isn't available then it's farther along than I would have been otherwise!

I'm hoping there's less mosquitoes this weekend. I had far too many bites last week. Oy.

This Weekend

I'm excited-BAPA and rehearsals start this weekend!
I signed up for nine electives (I only have to take three), and I may sign up for a tenth. I'm just waiting to hear back from my director on something.
We'll be leaving tomorrow (about noon), and we'll be pitching our tent. Then classes are on Saturday and rehearsals on Sunday! I'm taking some of my sewing with so that I can ask for help on part of it (the Ducks rehearsals end at approximately 2:30-3:00 and we have sewing time after that until 5:00 PM).
