Friday

[ragani]

I hardly got anything productive done at work today. It was one of those days when most people here were not very focused because thier minds were already on the weekend. I guess the same could be said of my state of mind, which is typical before a busy weeeknd. I am both looking forward to and dreading my weekend plans.

My plans this weekend certainly qualify as busy, as I am probably going to be juggling too many things. Saturday starts out with raiding my garb collection and pairing it down to a manageable amount. This includes all my ball gowns and some of my faire garb.

Over the years, since getting involved in events like Victorian ballroom dancing and Ren Faire, I have amassed a large enough collection of clothes that I mainly kept as loaners for friends who "just don't have anything to wear" and as potential future projects to make that perfect dress. After two moves in less than a year, and the potential for another looming, it is time for most of them to go.

I should still have enough items left from the great garb cull to have something to wear to the Halloween Gaskell Ball, but we will see if I will even have enough energy!

Sunday brings the same, but with the rest of my over stuffed closet. Fortunately, I have friends helping on either day who can give me some friendly what not to wear advice. And, lucky them, they get first dibs on the cast-offs. Sure, they could tell me it looks terrible on me just because they want it, but not only do I trust my friends to be honest with me, I made sure to have more than one friend there to get more than one opinion.

Seeing as everyone else who was supposed to make it today could not, all culling has been moved to Sunday. The advantage for me being that I have today to clean-up and make ready for the invasion of the critics and someplace for the clothes. Chad even set-up the stereo so we can have music in the livingroom finally.
