Why I Don't Drink Much Anymore.

.....We're out here at Ocean Shores today for the tour of the hotel and Convention Center. We actually arrived last night about 8PM. The tequila started flowing and then the beer. I had three shots to wash away work Friday, hit the pool with everyone else and then had some more to drink. Haven't had that much to drink in a long time. This morning I am reminded why. :-)

.....The ocean is beautiful though, I am refreshed eveytime I look at it. Not too crowded today. Can't wait for Twelfth Night though. I want to come out a day early and stay a day late just so that I can get the opportunity to walk the beach and soak in the breeze off of the water and watch the waves roll in.

.....Enjoyed good times with good friends. There can never be enough of that in the world. Although beware of Petr with his bottle of tequila. :-)

Home From Ocean Shores.

.....Just arrived home from Ocean Shores. It was a good day in most ways, especially as concerns Twelth Night. Renart has put together a good team (we just have to think of a good Team Name and Logo, Renart doesn't want to re-use 'Git 'er done!' :-)).

.....Met THL Eleanor, and her mother Sophia, for the first time. Very nice people. I liked them instantly. Once again, it is amazing how much LJ facilitates friendships way before you ever meet in person. :-)

.....Good tour of the Convention Center. It is a beautiful place. Lots of discussion of where to place things and how to use the space. I think that everyone was jazzed up quite a bit.

.....Went to Frantz glass place in Shelton in the afternoon. Amazing place. I looked through all the lampworking supplies and saw some demonstrations. I have avoided being bitten by the lampworking bug. But I have been intrigued with glassblowing itself for a long time, and even more so after Kingdom A&S this year. I've been trying to avoid the temptation. Too many things on the plate to take up something new. But watching a demonstration today almost made me take the plunge. Good thing I was still suffering from a hangover. :-)

.....Oh, My, God. When I woke up this morning I felt a little fuzzy headed but for the most part I was going 'Great! I escaped a major hangover.' No, I didn't. All day long it was like my brain was disconnected from my body. I could not think in a straight line for more then five minutes. I'd lose my train of thought constantly and had to concentrate hard when someone asked me a question. After the meeting started breaking up I followed Laurellen around as they looked for kites for Rhys to fly on the beach and I am sure she was starting to wonder if I was freaking out on her or something. I couldn't seem to get two coherent sentences together the entire time. Petr and Kierran are dangerous people. If they come bearing a bottle in their hand, run!!! :-)
