More of the Dance of the Lemmings.

You Are A Chestnut Tree

You are a born diplomat with a well developed sense of justice. And even though you're impressive and intimidating, you're also fun to be around. You can be irritated easily, and you sometimes act superior. Nevertheless, you are sensitive of others feelings and very loyal. Sometimes you feel misunderstood and are fiercely close to those who know you best.

'To-Do' List and Thoughts for the Week.

.....Most of this week will be filled with finishing out the September Crier. Have most of the information I need. Just waiting the missive from Their Majesties. Going to add a page of 'Thank Yous' for Team Haggis. I tried to do something like that after Twelfth Night, 2004, but His Excellency Duncan couldn't make the room necessary for it. There is a certain limited number of perks with the actually producing 'The Crier' and this is probably the one that makes me the happiest. Although I'm going to be very careful about ensure that I PAY for the advertising space. Wouldn't do at all to manipulate the system too much. :-)

.....Also have to get my Crier Financial Reports out of the way for Second Quarter of 2006. I am late with them. Have all the information I need, just have to plug the numbers into the form and then make them fit. I never seem to have a smooth report. I'm always having to reconcile some outstanding number. Which isn't as bad as it used to be. I used to seriously despise doing the Financial Reports when I was Exchequer because I could never make things zero out without a whole lot of work. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

.....Then there is the trip to Ocean Shores this weekend. Should be fun. Some people are headed out there on Friday night to spend the evening in the hotel. I forget which one it is now. But a Jacuzzi Party is in order!!! And definitely a walk along the beach. I love being at the ocean. It's one of my favorite places. On Saturday a lot of people are headed to the big Lampworking Sale at the store in Shelton. I've resisted the urge to join in the craze as it means one more interesting hobby in which to fit into the already impossible schedule. :-) but I do have to admit that it does look interesting and I'll probably tag along with everyone on Saturday. I make a good lemming. :-)

.....On Sunday I (and others) had an interesting conversation with HE Brighid on Sargeantry. I'm been 'ruminating' on that idea for a while and had pretty much convinced myself that I wanted to do it. Her Excellency really has a vision now of what she wants to do with it and I became affected (or infected?) by her enthusiasm. :-) The pageantry and chivalry associated with it really are in keeping with Their Excellencies' 'Mandate' for taking on the Coronets, which was one of the primary reasons I seriously rallied around Their Candidacy. If I'm serious about it though I'll have to scale back on some of the other things I wanted to do next year, like the war on Vashon Island and South Sound Unity at the Airport. But maybe I can work with someone else to still make one or the other happen. Will have to think about that some more. Sargeantry will be a lot of work, but I have a pretty good foundation. I'm well versed in my heraldry, dance will be easy, SCA geography will be easily. I am a little worried about my domestic skills since microwaves are definitely NOT period, but I think that I'll be able to bone up sufficiently in a year.

.....Hope everyone is surviving their Monday intact and reasonably well. :-)

.....Arontius / Aaron.
